Easy Junk Journal Tutorial for Beginners / What Supplies You Need / How To Make a Rounded Spine

#vintagejournal #handmadejournal #easyjournaling

I hope you enjoy this very chatty BEGINNER Junk Journal tutorial! I share an easy journal tutorial using an old little golden book, and I try to use basic supplies and adhesives. You can find all of the supplies at any craft store. I use a simple 3 hole pamphlet stitch to sew in the signatures. I do have no sew tutorials here on my channel as well, I will link them below😃 Happy crafting!

I love trying to keep things easy peasy, if you have any questions about this junk journal just leave them in the comments below:) Happy crafting!

I made my very first junk journal for my Dad’s 80th birthday last year. I made a simple website and asked family, friends and former coworkers to submit memories, funny stories or comments. I then took those submissions and made pages along with birthday cards they sent me ahead of time and made an awesome birthday journal! A couple of people sent me old movies of my Dad, so I uploaded them to YouTube and made a QR code he or anyone else looking at the book code scan and watch the videos. It truly was the perfect gift for my no-fuss Dad and it’s something he can look at over and over again!

I started making junk journals in high school as a way to scrapbook all my memories. I was inspired by my mom’s high school scrapbooks. Later when I had kids I scrapbooked in a more polished, traditional way but I always liked the junk journal look and process better. My oldest of our 6 children are in their early 20s now and I am getting back into junk journaling again- so excited!

I am a few months into JJ'ing and I haven't used a book cover yet to make a journal but I have some books to use. I think you did a fabulous job explaining and showing without being too fast or too slow. Thank you for the video. :)

My daughter made a precious journal for my granddaughter. I had never seen anything so adorable. I've been hooked on junk journals ever since.
I have made a few journals. I give them to my daughter. I loved the video. Thanks so much Leah.❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing this information with me.❤

Great Video!!❤ I can’t wait to make my first junk journal 🥰

[renaspitzley]

This is so cute!!! 😍 I'm in the process of creating a junk planner in the theme of 80's/lisa frank/smiley face, etc. Basically, it's super colorful with all my favorite childhood things. I'm even including colorful things my 4 kids have made for me over the years!!! I just finished a really cool gentleman's junk journal for my hubby. He loves it!!! It was my very first one. I've got plans to make one for each of my kids as well. My girls are 19, 17, & 16, and my son is 10.

Love this, thank you for sharing 💗🎶🙏👩🏻‍🦱, I want to make one for a friend from church, for her birthday

[sarahernandez]

I have never made a junk journal before! Loved your tutorial! I have a GOLDEN BOOK kit that I purchased with the ring holders instead of sewing it. I am going to give it a try! ❤

[hollomantyler]

I just recently purchased a junk journal from an antique mart and I have been intrigued ever since.
I am wanting to try my hand at making one for my granddaughter. I came across ThrifyDay and I am in love 🥰 with these colorful vintage journals! I also love watching these videos to learn how to make my first junk journal AND, I collect Little Golden Books! ❤

[MorganPlans]

I so enjoy making junk journals! I think I’m addicted to it actually 😂 Like you said in this video-it’s that moment when the journal comes together-LOVE that moment!

[leiahmcever]

Thanks for sharing this tutorial Leah!! i love every single tutorial you do and you bring a whole lot of sunshine to my life and many others! I have made three Little Golden Book journals for gifts and enjoy learning from you so much!!

[gwensimmons_gigi]

You now have a new subbie; thank you for posting your gorgeous, junk journal version, greatly appreciated! I use waxed thread so I usually do only one pass and not two when securing my signatures. 🎉🙏🏾🥰💜🤩🎊

[MonaBabin-qoud]

Have made several LGB journals and a few other types. But love learning how others do it! Also they get better as I do more!❤

[bettymetz]

Great instructions-clear and easy to understand - organized-completely encouraging especially to newcomers to journal making! Blessings from Ohio.

[sylviaromero]

love this tutorial, very simple and basic and you don't make it hard to think about the papers that go into the journals if that makes sense.

[MOMS]

I have made one from scratch using a cereal box …it was so fun but I’ve never made one like this ! I have been gathering my supplies to give it a try and love your tutorial! Thanks for your inspiration💖🧡

[lisatking]

I have made a several different types of junk journals, but I do love my LGB journals so much. I really like the curved spine and will definitely be following your directions the next time I make one.

[BlackWhisperCraftsakaBexx]

I’ve lost count of how many journals I created but I’m forever learning. This is an easy to follow tutorial, I’ve not made a round spine yet so I’ll be giving it a go soon. Thanks! Bexx 🖤
