How I Make Junk Journal Covers Out of Bubble Mailers

Here is my process for making a junk journal cover out of a plastic bubble mailer (mailing envelope).
Squishy, flexible, and totally customizable depending on fabric and trim choices. I hope you'll craft along with me!

This was an excellent tutorial. It included what to do and what not to do to get the best outcome for your cover. I love the peach fabric you chose for your journal. That fabric looks so similar (if not exactly) like the fabric my mom used to make a blouse for me back in the 80s. I can't wait to see how your journal turns out.

Beautiful colors and I love how straight your stitching is. Sometimes, when I have a thin fabric I will use PVA glue instead of Fabri-tac. The downside is that it takes longer to dry but it does avoid the discoloration. Love recycling the Amazon packaging.

Love it!

Thanks for sharing Meg. I have made a few of the fabric covered bubble envelopes for journals and still found your tutorial helpful, especially on the corners.
