Junk Journal Series Part 2: Choosing and Cutting your Paper to Size | Creating a Paper Hinge

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

So, here is part 2 – in today’s video we are going to pull our papers we are going to use to start our signature! I will also show how I create a hinge for those papers that are not the size we would like them to be… so make them!

This is the video that started this journey! I created a walk (or flip) -through video of my journal I have created for my shop and thought some may want to see – and the adventure began… If you missed that video, just click below!

Where I get my Inspiration! – and this is just a few! So many more… Make sure you check them out if you have not already!

So, grab a cup of your favorite beverage, sit back and ENJOY!

I know it is a old video but do you have the checklist? I have totally lost my mojo after I moved and didn’t made anything in 2 months 😱
I know don’t no where to start and I absolutely jumping around between making covers and organizing and organizing and...😩

[mariahemara]

I LOVE this series I have never heard of a Junk Journals till I saw your video on them. Can't wait till the next instalment. You inspire me :)

[janesheneman]

I like the complete picture even if it is long. It will help me when I make my first journal. Love all of your videos.

Great idea of making a hing and keep the letter straight. Even it will work with some other papers. Great video. Enjoying the journals series. Until the next one. Take care.😎

[tinaschaos]

Oh yeah, please post the measurements listing in the FB group for us. It is a great tutorial.

I am so impressed with this, I think it is amazing! I was sitting here, watching this video, and thinking of all of the paper pads I have in my stash. I love the vintage look but am more of a shabby chic kind of person but I can see this being like that. Thank you so much for this series, it is giving me so many ideas! You never fail to please!

[johnnacooledge]

is the 3rd video out? I can not find it

[roden]

Very interesting to see your process Desiree. I never saw the hinge technique. Why do you choose a paper bag for this? Or will any paper do?

[janicestanton]

I like you are doing this real-time. It let's me know how much time to set aside for each section of the process. Have you consider using tea-dye re-inker or spray to dye your papers? Less work than actual tea or coffee.
