Have been saving my collection of gift bags in my largest gift bag. My mind swirls with ideas whenever another bag is added to the 'family'. But things will change! No more stashing! After a night's rest, I will empty the neat accumulation of said bags and make some chosen bags into beautiful offerings of thanks to dear friends. Thank you for your never ending inspiration - who else can make a bag as beautiful? BJW in TN, USA

All the things you do are so much fun. I would not have thought of the gift bag, into a journal, of which I have many ♥THANK YOU

Another beautiful and creative idea to repurpose those pretty gift bags! Thank you Natasha!. God bless you.

You are a steady source of inspiration. I'm so happy to see you approaching 100K subscribers! Well done, and much deserved for the creative bounty you share. Thank you! 💗

When I running out of ideas I can always count on you to give me some inspiration. This gift bag journal is adorable.

Quick and easy…..yet you have created beautiful little bag journals. So many ideas from what we often discard.🤗🤗🤗🥰

This is great - some of the designs out there are fabulous and these bags are designed to stand some wear and tear! We use and reuse gift bags so much in our family that the same bag will be used for multiple gift-giving opportunities in the same year.

Love these little "wallet" journals. Thank you.

You are right!! Everybody has a stash of gift bags! What a cute idea for such a mundane objects! You are indeed a wonderful inspiration! Thank you for sharing your ideas with us!!

Can you please do another "journal with me". I've made a journal recently but have creator's block and I love your style because of how you don't use digitals. Anyway love this project can't wait to give it a go.🤗❤❤❤❤

Do I feel inspired? You bet I do ... with all of your videos! You have done it again and came up with yet another absolutely genius idea! And I was about to give away all of my gift bags because we will move in spring ... Now I know to keep the cutest ones :-) Thank you so very very much for sharing your unique ideas with us.

Who doesn't have gift bags😁 this is a lovely project,so quick and easy...thank you❤

Your creativity is boundless! I never fail to be inspired by each of your videos. Please keep it up…..

Thanks. Nice idea. I have used gift bags for decorative art work! Save all mine, too. My children are grown now. There was a special batman gift bag my oldest son got every year at Christmas with a gift. When he got married I mailed his gift to him in that bag!

I have binged on your videos for weeks. Your professionalism is top notch. Your sense of humor you sprinkle in is so enjoyable. You make me laugh and I deeply appreciate that, too!!! I love, love your tutorials~~~~🥰

Natasha - this is such a fun, fast and cute journal! And you’re so right - we all have a little stash of used gift bags! Thank you for the inspiration! I so enjoy all your videos!

You made simple bags look so elegant, Natasha, I love them!

What a great idea! There's so many beautiful Christmas/winter bags out right now...and I've never seen a writing board before! I'll be making those today for all my journals, thank you so much!

I love this idea and surely will make one out of my huge stash of bags. (all my family gives me their used gift bags) Now I don't want to finish what I'm working on and make one of these. Thanks so much for sharing!!

Wow!!! Love this idea !!! You are such a talented creator ! You are a beautiful soul and you bring joy every time I watch you! Thank you so much dear Natasa😍

Never knew about Journals, I know, I know, but I didn't... Your videos I binge watch all the time now.... So many ideas, and Explained wonderfully!!!.. I was in a creative slump, and for real, your video's have sparked my creativity again... Thank You for posting your videos!!

Cute and fast!!!!! Last minute gift item!!!!!!

You’re so creative, this blew my mind. Idk how you can see a bag and see all the potential and possibilities! I’m amazed and so inspired for a craft tomorrow!!

No cutting! I really like the binding template idea too. That's so helpful. Hardly any measuring. They look so beautiful. Very clever.

"Hope you feel inspired"? Let me answer that... YT suggested one of your videos - I don't know why. I LOVE the sound of paper rustling, so it had some ASMR-ish effect on me. I had that video running in the background while I was doing something else, not really caring for the journal topic. And another video. And one more. At some point I realised that I like your humor. What meant that I had started watching without really noticing at first... Several weeks later I had made my first junk journal. Just out of curiosity and because I'm all for up- and recycling. So much fun. Yes, you do inspire people. Thank you so much for sharing your passion. :)

Thank you Natasha, your crafting is sooo achievable for regular people. I watch all these videos on journaling and they are wonderful, beautiful and the crafters are very talented. But I watch them because I’m not talented, I do try and try but my work does not ever seem to turn out the same . But your work is more realistic. U use achievable goals. Thank you 😊

Great idea. I'm just thinking now about using Christmas bags for gifts 😂. Thanks so much for sharing this. X

This was exactly the video I needed right now! I’ve been collecting gift bags forever but I was too afraid to actually start working with them cause I didn’t know where to start. Your video inspired me to finally do something with the bags. Now I want to make a whole journal out of gift and paper bags I think it will look really cool and chunky. Thankyou! 🤗🤎

Just today I was thinking. "I wonder what amazing project Natasa is dreaming up for us." Well here it is and I love it..gonna have to try it!! Thanks so much for keeping us intrigued!

💜💜💜 What a great idea!!! I have a HUGE collection of these bags - I cannot throw one away whenever someone gives me gift in one! Thank you so much!

I love working with bags! Such a great way to empty out the elephant graveyards most of us have somewhere. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Love this idea! I have seen gift bags being used as covers. But...I've never seen a closure like that! And I LOVE it!! I can't wait to try this! You always inspire me in one way or another! Thank you! Have a GREAT week! Hugs 💟 Suzy

So very adorable! You do a nice job presenting also. I cannot throw away gift bags or nice shopping bags! Great ideas! Thank you!

Love these ideas! Gift bags are sturdy, and colorful, too.I've also been collecting the greeting cards from charities. They would make great cover plates for these, or any treasure books.

How simple and yet you've made it very elegant. Now I'm going to have to go to my gift bags stash and see what I have.

Hello. You’ve done such an awesome job turning a gift bag into a junk journal! No cutting, no gluing etc. Quick and easy I really like it. I was in the dollar tree and I was looking at so many beautiful gift bags wondering what can I do with such pretty paper.. I did cut and paste some pieces into my junk journals but this idea is even better🌹❤️. Thank you

I love using bags and gift bags for covers so many great pockets and tucks built it. Thanks for sharing.

Love the way you have utilized gift bags. I have many and think I will make one or two with clear pockets to gift to a friend to organize her inbellishments in.

Great idea and a great video. They are beautiful. I must try it. You are always one step ahead - which makes you brilliant. Thank you for sharing this. Have a great week ahead. xx

Love this video! I've made a journal out of a gift bag before but I cut open the bag and wrapped it around cardboard, etc. Your method was sooooo much easier! Thank you for this! I always feel inspired when I watch your videos! ❤

Another great idea! Fast too! I'll have to find the prettiest blue winter gift bag; with eyelets! Thanks so much. These are so high end looking, just beautiful!

Wow you make diy journal so easy and fun.

wooooooow.... and I have a lot of such kind of paperbags and now you "ve showed me what more I can do with them instead of throwing them ...after a while ...at the old newspapers ...thank you so much for this recycling ideas

Thank you Natasha. I ❤ your videos. You make learning so easy & so much fun. You have such a lovely upbeat vibe. Thank you Bless you xx❤💃🎀❤xx

That's a cut project, Natasa! Thanks for the idea. You always have such great papers to make your pages!

I love this. I do have quite a few gift bags in my stash. I'm in the middle of packing so I can move and found a whole bunch that I had forgotten about and thought I would just put them in the give away 📦 but now I'm going to put a few together so I have them for my shop. Thank you so much for your beautiful work. I love your videos. You inspire me in so many ways.

A fun project! I have a stash of pretty gifts bags that now have a purpose!

Fabulous idea to turn gift bags into JJ. Will be trying one of these soon. Thank you for sharing. Blessings

Another great (& easy) project, Natasa! So many possibilities if you have a huge gift bag stash, as I have. I always learn so much from you. Love your ideas & execution!!! Lynn QV, California, USA 💙

Nice idea! I love gift bags. This is a lovely way to upcycle a pretty bag or a bag from a place on vacation or a special occasion. Thanks for the inspiration.

This was lots of fun. I always enjoy what you bring to the table. Thanks for sharing, *Debbie*

I love this idea!!! I’m going to see what bags I have in my stash so I can make one!! You provide so much inspiration!!!! My biggest struggle is knowing what papers to use to create my signatures. Do you have a video on how you obtain the papers that you pull from when creating your journals? Thank you for doing videos!!!! 🤍

Oh my goodness what a fabulous idea now I no what to do with all those gift bags. Thank you so much for this tutorial, love it xx👍❤️

I have some pretty gift bags. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing this with us. I'll have to make some as gifts.👍🤗🤗

Such a great idea. Iam going to make a few today. Thanks for sharing!!!

Oh I love it! How fun!

So very clever. I would like to se your ideas developed with a brown bag with the handles removed and no existing eyelets.

Beautiful! Love your ideas! I was thinking of using this idea for a songbook for my great granddaughter. She is only 6 years old but writes songs all the time. One of these would be perfect leaving the handles on to carry it, with a closure in between. Thank you for this!

Your journals are always Absolutely Beautiful! You are so talented, very creative and truly inspiring! And I appreciate the way you give instructions, well-spoken, easy to understand and to follow. Thank you. I really like your channel, I am glad I found it. 🌺🌺🌺
