I hope you enjoy this long and chatty junk journal made out of and old book tutorial. This book was literally headed to the trash at my local Friends of the Library Used Bookstore. So it was fun to breathe new life into the cover and upcycle it into a creative style junk journal. I also show how to make easy no sew journal pockets, how to seal a journal cover, how to apply metal hardware, and how I create a rounded lace spine.
I have an easy, removable journal charm tutorial coming very soon! Be sure to save this video to come right back to where we leave off🍄
If you have any questions please leave them in the comments below:)
I created this handmade, upcycled journal from and old book to use as my new personal junk journal. The theme is butterflies and mushrooms. The pages are all vintage except the cardstock I used to create pockets🍄

I don't understand how anyone could ever throw away a book! 🤦🏽‍♀️ I just took a truckload of books from my grandparents house. My sister said to take them to goodwill... no way. There are books from the late 1800's in there, and as 'new' as the late 1980's. There were books published from 1901-1926 and books that my grandfather had when he was in elementary school in Scotland. Some of them, I know I absolutely won't be able to tear apart for journaling... but throwing out a book seems so absurd to me. 🥺

Wow, the time flew by quickly. I watched while eating a salad and I couldn’t look away. For me the most important part was the part you were hesitating to include. To watch you try to figure out how to decorate the cover, was so valuable to me. I got into junk journaling to try to overcome perfectionism. It’s helping. But what I haven’t’ tackled yet is developing my own process. To watch you play around a bit was extremely educational. Now to find your removable charm tutorial….thank you!

I love what you did with this journal! And thanks for going from beginning to end. I've only made one journal, & I did use Modge Podge. But now I'm making "Envelope Notebooks" (Luise Heinzel on YT). I missed last Christmas, but I'm trying for this Christmas, now. I'm making a lot of them because I want everyone in the family to have one! (I've done big projects in the past, but I think this is the biggest!!) They're 3x7", so they're tiny & cute!!

An alternative to Mod Podge is Heat and Bond iron-on fusible interfacing. I use this with fabric and book covers, chipboard, and cardstock. It grips really well and is so smooth when ironed down. You can even get into the gaps between the spine and covers and fuse a real hinge.

I prefer long form videos, just found your channel. Love this book, as a hippie/art/nature witch, I love the esthetics of this journal. And it was a extremely pleasant video to have on as I'm currently working on a journal... and I have no particular plan at all, whatever calls to me as I make it, well, then that's the direction I continue or switch my trajectory. I enjoy making journals like this, it's very therapeutic. I LOVE that viewmaster tab! And to not just staple it in, but use a brad so it can spin! Love, love, love it! Im getting ready to start part 2, 💜🖤.
