Awwww thank you for coming back and letting me know that it worked for you. I've just finished doing a 6 X 6 one....with masterboard signatures...video coming soon. Happy creating. K
Love this idea💡 and I have so many napkins also. Also the different size and quality papers is a great idea. Definitely gonna make this. Thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful! I will be making another cover to fit the 6 X 6 signatures. I did buy some thicker elastic though and will be stringing it through a little tighter to make things more snug.
This is my favourite type of 'flow' journal with either different types of media paper or scrapbooking paper. Easily to remove and work on/ with. You can always create a more permanent journal for finished art if desired.
Love the way you weave the elastic. Just what I was looking for instead of long on the outside like I’ve seen. I plant to add a 4th signature to use all 4 available bands. Your closure idea is perfect. I’m making a mixed media journal fabric covered.
Karen I love this idea but couldn’t quite follow how you threaded the elastic binding. So if you do another one for the 6x6 could you do it as a video and show us the binding again please? Great idea as always!
Thanks for sharing. I just did a much smaller cover and used fabric but I love the idea of the copy paper and napkin. I'll do that next . Have a super fantastic day. Sending love and big hugs Sherry ❤
12:40 with those punched holes in the spine, could you use those hole protector thingies? (don't know the right name, but I've seen them in office supply stores); Or even another small round piece of card/heavier paper punched out, a hole in the centre of that, and glue those over each punched hole to protect the edges? (reinforcers?)
Give it a try. They would reinforce. I have never made this before and once I start to use it I will find out if reinforcement is necessary. If you think it needs it nothing will be effected if you do.
Super!
Thank you very much!
Thanks so much for your easy tutorial. That’s my next journal.
Homemade journals are extra special in some way. K
Im so glad you did a video I can understand thankyou
You are most welcome. K
This was explained perfectly. I will try this. Thanks for sharing. Glad I found your channel.

Go for it...happy creating. K
Loved the idea. I'll give it a try soon. I've got all the material. Thanks for share this video 😁🙏
Glad you will give it a try....definitely up the thickness of the elastic cord. K
I could see some accenting using the TCW Foils in gold on those leaves!
ohhhhhh maybe yes.....
Thanks for all the tips in this Karen. 👍❤

I love it. I use the elastic binding often, but I have never made the three holes style, I will have to try it..
I’ve seen other ways but when I saw this I thought. Hmmm doable and rasy

Exactly what I was thinking.....different journals for different purposes.
Love that journal cover. Thanks for sharing this technique. You make it look doable!
Thanks so much! It is doable....I've gotten thicker elastic and pulled it slightly tighter to get it to work better.....K

I am working on the 6 X 6 cover....not sure when it will be published but it's coming. K

Can you make a page using blue and purple with using the geo netting stencil from tcw
I will add those suggestions to my list
