Tutorial - Envelope Journal Ephemera Storage Book

Giant Envelope Journal aka Ephemera Storage Book. I hope you feel inspired!
CORRECTION!!! - ( STEP 10) - If the width of the spine is to have 12 rows of holes, there will be 13 spaces so width should be divided by 13 not 12. I actually DID divide mine into 12, but the spaces are so small that it didn't make a difference. If you are adding 4 signatures for example, you would need to divide the width of your spine by 5, to get equal spacing between signuatures :)

Dear Natasha, that was absolutely amazing, I just can't imagine why you would think that you may be your tutorials are probably the best in the field. Your voice is calm, you are extremely detailed and you make me feel that I can do it. It's like you said, I always think that other crafters do everything faster than me, but when I listen to you I feel more energetic and confident and ready to start creating. Thank you so much.

I agree with the others, you do the best tutorials of them all. Love that you write the steps clearly down and give us a chance to screenshot the instructions. Thank you. You really are so thoughtful.

I love that you add sewing! As a sewist of 50 years, I will add two tiny points here for you. Firstly, you'll see an improved look sewing around cover from the outer side. The bobbin side of machine does not produce as fine looking a stitch as the needle side. And where you stop & start, I would pull both threads to the wrong side. Once your threads are cut, gently pull up the bobbin thread up on the wrong side. The top thread will form a loop which you can pull with pin or awl. If you tie the two threads in a square knot, you'll never see a thread pop loose. If you are at an edge, you can adjust the knot to the wrong side. These were details taught in schools when home ec was still a required course.

This is genuinely the best tutorial for anything I have ever come across. Super easy to follow and looks really fun! I can’t wait to try

[pamelagahan]

I think you are a wonderful teacher. Our little craft group of mature aged ladies were keen to try our hand at making a junk journal and watching you has really been a true inspiration. Thank you so much. Tasmania Australia

[iamsuzzie]

Love the journals. I especially like the written directions. Thank you for taking the time to write them down

I know this is a 2 year old video but I still wanted to comment and say I love this idea! I started making Christmas junk journals but I made the spines so wide. I have a bunch of Christmas stock paper so I think I'm going to do the envelopes in it instead of tea dyed paper. Then I can put in hot chocolate packets, tea, gift cards, thin wrapped candy and the like. Thanks for the ideas! LOVE your channel and your sense of humor. 😉

[eddieeynon]

Absolutely gorgeous. I love that they are not over-decorated: really stylish. Thank you 😊

[LindaFoyle]

I learned how to make junk journal’s years ago from YouTube. It takes practice, start small, few envelopes, and learn the technique first, then you can Advance yourself. I didn’t have a sewing machine, so used glue. Once I Advanced myself, I used Buttons, lace, pockets, and much more, it was fun, and made them for gifts ❤️ YouTube has a lot of videos for beginners. Thank you.

[deneseharris]

Love how you write the steps. Make it so easy to follow.
