This is great! I love all the fancy stuff but sometimes it's nice to go back to basics and remember that you don't need all the fancy stuff to make an awesome journal!
😅 it's my journal, so I do what I want. Mine is some junk, some things I make. Mine is an eclectic book of diary, journal, art, habit tracker, to-do list, appointments, and fun. I love your style! ❤
I gave my best friend 2 patterns of exactly the same apron, a coupon to pick out fabric (for me to pay for) AND a coupon for her to teach me how to use the sewing machine … we’ve been friends for 34 years so she thought it was funny … I am dead serious! TFS.
I love how everyone has an opinion of how it "should" be. Ignore them. It can be whatever you want! The first word in junk journal is junk! You are keeping things from land fills and garbage dumps while creating something beautiful!
Margaret, love the beautiful junk journal. You do such an awesome job no matter what you use. Please make postage stamps. Would be wonderful. And let the haters hate. I don't understand why people have to go around smashing other people's fun. And you bring us a lot of fun so keep on keeping on. 💞💞💞
JJ = no rules - that's what attracted me to the craft. I don't make anything to sell so what I make is for me. Trust me, not as "pretty" or girly but I enjoy the process. You are always an inspiration to use what I have. Thank you
I LOVE where you said, "It's been so long since I've used ordinary junk." I guess what I've seen is you making extraordinary things with "extraordinary junk"!! The shiny thread IS embroidery floss. I've done projects where you use 2 strands of ordinary floss and one strand of metallic, or, if you want more shiny, use 2 strands of metallic and one of regular floss. It adds a shine to the project, and if not used too much, makes specific parts really stand out -- like a child's name on a baby sampler, for example. What a fun project!! Thanks!!
Oh my gosh Margreth your beautiful brain has come up with some amazing ideas, I wish I had been able to watch this 30 years ago before I started amassing a whole load of unnecessary stuff 🤣🤣❤ xxx
Thanks for this! It really is inspirational . I think we all need to realize or be reminded that we don’t need a lot of fancy stuff and it doesn’t have to be perfect, intimidating or exactly like yours . Just need to create and enjoy!
Wow! fabulous junk journal, made from junk…how perfect! I love all the ephemera. it’s all very cool ! What a great video, thank you ❤ I could hear Jackson snoring in the background…sleepy cat 😂😂😂
It's a beautiful journal. There are no rules for junk journals. You make it however you want to. Using whatever papers, napkins, fabrics, or lace, etc. That's how I use whatever suits the style of journal I'm making. Thank you for sharing Margreth. 🙂♥️
Looking at video’s haven’t looked at yet. I miss you. I make what I want the way I want it. Don’t care about rules when it comes to making my journals. It’s mine and it is what I like.
This was a great video for beginners but also for us. Reminders of what we can do with almost anything. I appreciate you taking your time with this. This one to be saved by all the newbies.😊😊❤❤
Margreth making mixed media mess. 😲😅 Admit it, you had a bit of fun with this. At least with the really pretty results. Thank you for reminding many of us of how we started. 💜 I've had so much fun finding alternatives for the expensive stuff when I was making my first journal. Wonderful memory. 🥰
Just amazing, I love going back to basics, so many idea and great way to use your imagination. We often get so caught up in purchasing or "having" all the products, we don't need any of them. Great way to remind us all. So much fun!!
Excellent video for new and experienced creators. And a good reminder we don’t need to buy everything. I do enjoy noticing how being up on their high horses makes their bottoms look big 😂😂😂
My favourite lady 🙌🏻🙌🏻. Take no notice of stupid people, you can call it a junk journal if you want to, your the most amazing crafter on RUclips I absolutely love watching your videos, have a lovely weekend 🤗 xxx
Great idea about the home-made hole reinforcers; I already knew about cutting the corners on a credit card to make my tag corners; and now I have one for you. Put petroleum jelly around the threads of your Mod-Podge or other glues. It works like a charm and you can always open any jar or bottle! Love this video, and appreciate you so much. My Fave!!
I hear the rain, love that sound! I live in the state of Nebraska in the USA! We are very dry and would certainly live sad one of that wet stuff. However Fall is not the season for it for us🥹
Thanks Margreth! I've sent several newbies to both your videos on making a budget journal. So many ideas packed into them❤These are both super helpful to newbies and also a nice refresher for seasoned journalers.
OOO I enjoyed this soooo much. Thank you for the ideas... please do more of this, it is really helpful for us beginners. Sending love from the UK xxxxx
Miss Margreth, so amazing. I just can't believe all the stuff that you put together in this little journal that looks so big now. Absolutely love how it all came together. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family. 🥰💖😻💖😻💖👍👍👍👍👍(🌹🐞🦂🌵)
Deze video had ik nog niet bekeken maar hier hou ik van. Zo leuk om eens wat anders dan de dure merk dingen te zien gebruiken. Mooie encyclopedie heb je gebruikt met die gekleurde plaatjes. Ik ben dit jaar begonnen met een zwart wit encyclopedie, die mijn schoonouders vroeger duur betaalde, uit elkaar te halen ende leuke kaarten etc. te bewaren. Dit is echt een leukalbum geworden! Groetjes Maia
Dear Margreth, I’ve been such a fan that I didn’t realize I hadn’t subscribed until I watched this video and had to say how much I want you to do a faux stamp video!😃 Also, thank you for hearing me when I talk to the screen 😀😉😘
I have a box of water based markers sitting right on my desk!!! I’ve been needing inks for distressing Now I have them!!! In every color! Thank you so much! I’m. So happy.
It turned out very nice. I enjoyed the process. I had just started a journal with junk mail, so this was perfect timing. I am doing great making ephemera but struggling to complete a journal. Thanks Margreth
This video reminds me of when I first started making scrapbooks years ago. It’s so much fun making things from scratch. I really enjoyed watching it. I used to swipe a brush style pen along the edges using the side of the brush. And use the block to watercolour pictures. Enjoyed my Saturday breakfast watching you
Thank you so much for the alternatives!!! I love the look of distressing with oxides but don't feel like spending the money on a pad. Love the use of felttip pens, I HAVE THAT ❤️ very creative use of what you have and inspiring. What a lovely Junk Journal this IS!!!
Omg, the end result is beautiful! Exactly what I imagine a junk journal to be Margereth, lol I know it took some Will power not to go fancy 😂 but in all honesty I’m loving it & your energy whilst making it was something special to watch. Thank you. 🙏🥰📕
You are a genius! I love watching you! I always get so many wonderful ideas from you. I love your ideas. They are so useful to me and my budget lol. Wonderful ideas with things I already have at home. Thank you so much. Keep creating! I love it! So many things I can use
When did junk Journal get rules? Who's trying to take all the fun out of something that we love to do? That's just dumb , pardon me. I've been junk journaling for 10 years and I use whatever the heck I wanna use, that's the fun of it, just finding "stuff" and figuring out how to use it in your pages. Do whatever you want to! I love everything you do and I have binge watched over 150 of your videos in the last two or three months. Probably more like 200 lol. It's pretty much all I watch.❤❤❤❤❤
I have been without internet for over two weeks and this was the first video I’ve come across of yours so I’m sorry for my absence. I love that you have made this video you are so wonderful at explaining stuff that seems so difficult to make and shows us how easy it is to do, I love that you showed how to make the hole reinforcement rings and everything I’m so happy to be able to watch you again I’ve missed your videos so much I will go back to the first one I miss and catch up. Please do another video on postage stamps.❤
wauw! weer ouderwets aan het frobelen... zo leuk weer dit! maar ok , alle nieuwe knutselspullen en zo laten zien... en gebruiken, is natuurlijk ook erg leuk! ja postzegeltjes maken , maar ook labels en tags met pockets ?en... ach jaer zijn zoveel meer dingen wat je kunt maken vouwen en plakken. tot zondag weer , en fijn weekend Margreth! 🤗😘😊
I love this project. Thank you for showing how to use stuff you might just throw away to make this lovely junk journal. I am only sorry it took me soloing to watch the video. I have a new puppy who kept interrupting. It was so worth the time to watch though. Such wonderful ideas. The video is packed with great ideas. You are the best.
Well, someones new treasure can very well be my junk 😅 so in the junk journal it goes 😂 And if you havent fallen of the high horse at least once, you have never ridden in the first place 😅 Greetings from Denmark ❤
Those pliers are actually round nose pliers. Needle nose pliers are flat on the inside. And the claw was a lobster clasp. It amazes me how good your English is. And I love your videos.
You can also use colored chalk in the place of ink. Back when I first started paper crafting and there wasn't all the products available as there is now, I distressed paper by spritzing it with water, crumpling it and then ironing it to dry it and smooth out the wrinkles some. When it was dry I then used a brown chalk to complete the distressing.
For the circle page edges, it would be really cool to put the glue only on the middle of the circle then you have a bunch of tuck spots! You could tuck a lot of little things or use it to hold larger cards too!
🤔 I thought a junk journal was made from junk...waste paper, re-cycled things. Isn't that exactly what you have done...wonderfully?! You may have just saved a lot of people a lot of money. The inks substitute, brilliant. Let's be honest, most of us crafters get as much fun and satisfaction out of the purchasing and hoarding of crafty stash as we do out of using it. That's if we actually use the beautiful papers and ephemera that we buy.😊❤ A lovely little, practical journal, made with love. TFS❤ ✍️⭕🤦♀️😂😘
You can dye cream or white seam binding with food coloring or Easter egg dye if u don’t have watercolors or water based markers or ink pads or ink pad reinkers. Also, would it be a good idea to indicate what supplies are good places to spend money? I had a hard time with that when I started because there was NO internet OR RUclips!! My opinion would be a heat tool for example because trying to dry things or heat emboss with a different tool is actively dangerous, or a good pair of scissors because your life is so much easier than using a poor pair - that sort of thing? This was interesting and informative. TFS.
Watching again to support margreth while she gets her health under control. I encourage all fans to watch her old videos to keep her channel humming😊❤
You are so creative . Thank you for sharing ALL of your makes. ❤
Good morning Margreth it’s your channel you do what you want sweetheart not what others tell you. I love what ever you do BEAUTIFUL 💗
Absolutely agree!
A complete Junk Journaling 101! Brilliant!
This is great! I love all the fancy stuff but sometimes it's nice to go back to basics and remember that you don't need all the fancy stuff to make an awesome journal!
😅 it's my journal, so I do what I want. Mine is some junk, some things I make. Mine is an eclectic book of diary, journal, art, habit tracker, to-do list, appointments, and fun. I love your style! ❤
I get such a kick out of you saying your sewing machine is not a friend because I certainly can relate.
I gave my best friend 2 patterns of exactly the same apron, a coupon to pick out fabric (for me to pay for) AND a coupon for her to teach me how to use the sewing machine … we’ve been friends for 34 years so she thought it was funny … I am dead serious! TFS.
Good morning Margreth ☕️. People can fall off their high horses 😊
Right into the horse pucky😂
I love how everyone has an opinion of how it "should" be. Ignore them. It can be whatever you want! The first word in junk journal is junk! You are keeping things from land fills and garbage dumps while creating something beautiful!
Was this necessary do you feel superior or inferior. Keep it to yourself
@suzyallen1726 did you misunderstand the joking?
I guess I did sorry. I thought you were insulting margreth
❤ The cutest journal made from recycled materials.. 😊
Margaret, love the beautiful junk journal. You do such an awesome job no matter what you use. Please make postage stamps. Would be wonderful. And let the haters hate.

You are awesome! Kind, generous, and immensely skilled!! Thank you for sharing!!!❤
Wow, now people has no excuses anymore! 😊 The distressing alternative methods are mindblowing, wow! Your videos are always so inspiring 😊
Hope you're feeling OK and sending you lots of positive vibes and much love ❤️

Great ideas 💡. I love hearing the rain, got to hear plenty of it as hurricane Helene passed by, I was on the wet side so had tons of feeder bands.
Hi Margreth, it’s very cute this junk journal. Kiss from France Cécile
I hear the rain, love that sound! I live in the state of Nebraska in the USA! We are very dry and would certainly live sad one of that wet stuff. However Fall is not the season for it for us🥹
Would love the faux postage stamp project! Love the eclectic style journal and finding images that are not going to duplicated massively.
🌻
Looks great! I love making junk journals.
I love this video. Of course I like all of your videos.
i love this video. exactly what i needed. i want to be creative but i don't want to invest in things that i won't use.
This was so much fun. I do have "all the stuffs" and real junk journals are a little outside my comfort zone, but maybe I could do this.
Thanks Margreth! I've sent several newbies to both your videos on making a budget journal. So many ideas packed into them❤These are both super helpful to newbies and also a nice refresher for seasoned journalers.
I absolutely love this cute journal thank you so much for sharing your techniques. I’ll be watching this again and again. Ty. ❤
Fabulous representation of using craft supplies around the home. Great stuff, margreth 🥰😘
Your butterfly napkin journal card was my favorite. Also loved hearing the rain on background.
So lovely Lovey. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
This little journal is just so delightful! I absolutely love it!
Great ideas and tips!! Thanks for the video!

Hi Margrethe, another wonderful video. Lots of good ideas and tips. I love that this video was so long. It's like a friend visiting. ❤😊
Love love love this the butterflies are a show stopper . Hope you have a great weekend. Hugs to the fur babies.
Super awesome
What a lovely project! ❤❤❤I need to make one of these journals, to use up my bits and bobs!
Wonderful journal!
That was a great tutorial for anyone without formal supplies, and very close to how I started making journals. Good job!😍
I think this is fantastic! ❤ You do amazing things!! Thx Margreth! 💜
We have an AliExpress here in Omaha, Nebraska. I was hoping they had an on site store but no, it’s just a warehouse. I am enjoying this series
Love the butterflies, great video, very helpful. Yes, please make a video making postage stamps.
These are fabulous tips. I've had trouble figuring out what to do for ephemera. This is SO helpful. Thank you so much!❤❤❤

Hi lieverd 😘
You can also use colored chalk in the place of ink.

When it was dry I then used a brown chalk to complete the distressing.
Distress metal washers like you get at a hardware store. Those would work great around a hole on a tag!
For the circle page edges, it would be really cool to put the glue only on the middle of the circle then you have a bunch of tuck spots! You could tuck a lot of little things or use it to hold larger cards too!
👍🏻😁
