Thank you for this brilliant idea. When hand sewing, you can use a fork to indent your holes, this will help with equal spacing.
What a great idea!!!!
I’m going to try that this very weekend.
Excellent tip, thank you!!!
Este Swart good idea x
Este Swart What an awesome tip! 👍🏻
Wonderful idea because i was already thinking how to hand stitch this. My kidney dialysis tech is always looking for her stylus this clipped to her scrubs well end that! Lol TFS
I made three of these cute penholders today (except the decoration) and I am quite pleased. The hardest thing for me was finding the right kind of cardstock, as I don´t eat cereals. 😊 The papers that I tried first broke at the folding line. Others were to thin. Then I put a piece of paper in between, to make it sturdier. Now everything is fine and secured. Tomorrow I´ll go on and decorate. Thanks a lot.
I don’t eat cold cereals, but maybe other food boxes might work? I’m thinking rice, cake mix, etc. I just need to save the boxes to try…
You have the most creative things to do with our Junk Journals. When we add them, they can no longer be called Junk. They are beautiful journals. Great job as usual.
Thank you so much! I prefer to call them Treasure Books, because that's what they are to me. I stick with Junk Journals only because people are familiar with that term (but I don't like it)
@TreasureBooks, I don't care for the Junk journal term, either. Treasure book(s) sounds much better to me!
I love that you love art just for art’s sake. You left not trying to push products. You are genuine. Stay authentic.
Thank you so much Rachel :)
I love how you write it down. I take a screenshot and print it out so I can put it beside me when I craft. I’m doing a family tree and as well recording history events that parallel their lives. Thank you for such uncomplicated series and your explanations are so easy to follow. I usually scan through most craft videos as they just like to talk about their lives which I hate....”don’t care “... thanks again, yours is relevant to what you’re doing and you don’t waffle on👌
hehe Thank you so much :)
I loved the idea of securing the elastic loop with the brad even more than sowing it down. I love the look of stitches, but the brad makes it more special, in my opinion. This idea is definitely a keeper for me.
Oh how I love this! I've been making pockets inside the journals. I'm going to give this a go ❤
Thank you again. I only just found you recently but I am an avid put-it-into-practice follower. 🤩
Wonderful! Thank you so much
Hello and so happy with this idea. I have closed some of them with crochet and other ones with handmade stitches. My friends are now delighted with this peculiar and unique gift I have given to them.
Oh how wonderful!!! Perfect little gift :)
Wonderful! I was just thinking of how to fasten a pen in my calendar 2023, because it had none. So I will be happy with it and send it to some of my friends as a little gift. Thank you so much. I love your tutorials and your way of artful handycraft. Of course I will also watch the videos, you linked below. 🥰
I love how you have the instructions written out!
Although I am a subscriber, I am not a regular watcher and I don’t know why! Every single time I watch your videos, I learn something! Your ideas are wonderful and your instructions are always quite clear! I am currently making a new journal for my shop and I am definitely going to add one of these! Love it! Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Joan!!
Just what I needed to add to my daughter’s birthday gift. ❤
This is one of those blindingly obvious ideas that make you go "Doh! Why didn't *I* think of that??" Thank you for thinking of it for us! Love the one with the little envelope - perfect when the journal is a present for someone...
I love, love, love this tutorial❣ Your instructions & detailed narration is wonderful. Pen Loops, Wonderful Idea‼️ Thank you for sharing such creative ideas
Thank you so much Karen!
Thanks! You are so darn clever and I love how you show how to do things inexpensive. I will continue to do what I can to support you.
Oh wow Rose, thank you so much! It means a lot :)
Perfect timing for me! I was thinking of adding pen loops, wondering which cover, back or front.....etc. Didn't even watch the whole video before digging in! [another way to make holes is on the sewing machine, just without thread]
Great tip Vicky!! Thank you :)
Hi Natasha, me and my 11 year old niece just watched your tutorial and we are happy we did. Thank you for sharing.🌺
I'm so glad! Thank you :)
This added to the corner book mark would make a lovely little pressie, and possibly with a small notebook. You’ve given me some ideas for a thank you pressie…..x
This is just perfect for my notebook, to attach a pencil so it doesn't get lost. It makes a shopping list easier as I can add extra as I think of them and I can actually find something to write with. Thank you. And I can have fun decorating it. Lovely.
How fabulous!!! I love this and don't know where I was 5 years ago...but I've seen it now and can't wait to make some!
Im so glad I found you! You inspired me so much. I got into creating something similar to your envelopes using white paper sacks I picked up at a thrift store. I sewed lace, buttons, used softener sheets and all sorts of textiles. After some time, I put it away for a couple years and then I saw your channel!!. Thought I'd take a peek and now I'm re-inspired! Thank you. I like the process you apply to your creations especially the book page envelopes. Love your accent too. I subscribed yesterday to your channel and have been seeing alot of your past videos. Thank you again. 😊
Oh thank you so much Barbara. I'm so glad you feel inspired again!!
Hey Natasha, these are so cute and the best part, is their practicality! Thanks for sharing!
Like this so much! I already add an attached pen holder but love that this is a movable version. I have found hair ties in the flat elastics in so many great colors and styles they make great accent elastics. Thanks for sharing -I'm off to do a few now!
Cheryl Rymer
I agree! Such a great instructor!
🌹🌟🌹🌟🌹🌟🌹🌟🌹🌟
Where did you find the flat hair ties? All I have right now is wide elastic for waistbands, and I don't even sew clothes anymore! Might just have to look around!
I grew up knowing them as split pins. Never heard them called brads until I started scrapbooking, it took ages to get used to that name. Absolutely love this idea.
hmmm maybe the crafty world gave them a new 'special' name, so that they can charge a higher price :)
This is very clever and unique! So far I haven't seen this solution for attaching a pen, in any other video !
Glad it was helpful!
I went straight to my craft room and made some of these. Great use for greeting cards that we like to save in our journals…I found that I could place the elastic on the open side to keep the design the right way up. Also for smaller cards I put that on the front as a decorative element meaning I could still open the card to read the sentiment. Leaving the op open on some meant a tuck spot and also a blank folded piece of card on the front as a journaling spot. Lots of ideas from this Natasha…thank you,x
I really appreciate that you have your list and directions off to the side for us to refer to, many thanks!!
The side of a butter boxes are about the right size, (we'll get 4 from that!) or the top side of a pudding cup wrap for 4 pudding snacks. (Might yield 2) Sturdy, plus they all have the nice white sides to fold to the outside. Nice backgrounds to decorate.☺️
Love this!!! Definitely perfect for every journal. I like the hand stitching around edge.
Thx for great video.

What a great idea. It is simply made, but it can be embellished in any way you like. Having a pen at the ready is always a good thing. If you have a themed or specific kind of journal, you can choose exactly the type or design of pen that will work with it and the papers you have used. I, too, like the look of hand sewing, and varying the color thread and type of stitch just adds to the unique look of it. Another win!
Thank you so much Jean!! I will be making some Christmas ones soon! These are perfect for a themed journal, you are so right!
These are great. I LOVE the one with the little envelope. It’s swoon-worthy!!!
I have been looking for a pen holder for sometime & you have answered my prayers. And what an outstanding instruction. Thank soooo much. Am going to make one today.
I'm so glad you like it, thank you!!
What a brilliant inspiration - for my journal, for gifts, to stick onto a birthday journal card ...
Very cute. Love this. Thank you Natasha.
You always come up with the best ideas. What I love so much about your tutorials is that you use cereal boxes, which I have loads of! You're my most favourite youtuber right now!
Thank you so much Grace!! I have a full box of cereal boxes waiting to be transformed into something!
I put on your playlist, buckle up, and challenge myself to keep up as I go through the videos. I have never been so productive! I love your style. Love your journaling and decorating but I especially appreciate your teaching style! The detailed directions and clear instruction is not as easy as you make it look. Respect 👏🏼
Thank you so very much :)
Thanks for sharing great idea for a pen loop. Made others with elastic headband and a pouch. Your idea is easier and cute.
WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA, YOU HAVE EMBELLISHED THEM SO BEAUTIFULLY, JUST LOVE YOUR CHOICES

Hi Camille, thank you so much! I also always thought that I don't know how to put colours together, or what goes with what. But since I started making videos and getting feedback, I realize I'm much better at it than I thought. I bet the same is true for you!
Ingenious, lovely and useful!! You can't get much better than that!! What a great idea! And thank you so much for sharing how to make them!!
Thank you Janet!!
I love, love, love this!!!! I was wondering where to get pen holders and never thought of making one - absolutely brilliant!! You’re the best!! Thank you for sharing - you always have such great ideas and I really love your style. I’m so glad I found your channel! 💜

Wow this is smart and cute. I have been trying to figure out how I could add a pen to my journals - elastic. Genius! Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!!
Great idea thanks for sharing!❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
These are the prettiest I’ve seen! I love them! Thank you for the tutorial!
Thanks for watching 😊
I love this idea and how you show a version if you don't have a sewing machine. Thank you for sharing.
Than you so much!
I luv this craft and how you write everything down. I print out the directions and file for reference. These can be make for both male and female which is an added plus.
Hello, I'm a new subscriber.
Thanks for sharing this very practical, cute and creative idea.
I've been journalling since I was a teenager (the standard diary never seemed big enough to record actual thoughts (ramblings) or chronicle actual events) so I started using notebooks. I was always misplacing my pen.
This is great!
Thank you Darnelle, and welcome to my channel! I'm so glad you found this helpful!
What a cute idea! Can't wait to do this when I junkn journal with my granddaughter!
Have fun 😊
I just watched your video on the altar paper clips and I love it I cannot wait to go up into my craft room and make a bunch of these for my junk journal
Love this! It will make a nice little gifting for my journaling group. Thanks for the idea and the how to.
If you hand sew the hole (that’s closest to a corner) twice, then the stitching will look more even at the corners. Love your very cute pen loops! I am inspired to make a bunch of them for my friends
Thanks for the tip!
I love these. I had decided against all that I could find to purchase for my planners and TNs.
These are exactly what interest me. Thank you for sharing.
I wanted to share that alcohol ink pens will color regular Brad's. I use them to color pin heads for stick pins and hat pins. I don't know how well a color would go over gold/brass color but I'm willing to give it a chance for fun. ♡~Heidi
(I am often lurking at your videos on my TV via Roku. I can't comment from there. So I may not comment from another device, but I'm here. )
Ohh thanks for that tip, I will try it!!
Aren't they beautiful? 🥰 absolutely gorgeous! Thanks again for this wonderful tutorial!
sehr schönes Projekt...und gleich nachgebastelt....danke schön dafür
Thank you so much Natacha for sharing this brilliant idea.
So incredibly cute! I am in love with these! Great idea Natasha! Pam :)
You are a fantastic instructor, attention to details and explanations are wonderful! Thank you so much!
Your instructions are so meticulous! It makes things so much easier for us. Love the options you give for different approaches. You always do a beautiful job.
So glad! Thanks for watching :)
Love this idea. You really do a great job of explaining the process. Thank you.
You are so very clever! I decorate pens to go with my journals so thanks to you I have a great way to keep them together. 😃
Oh how interesting. How do you decorate the pens? I love that idea!
Treasure Books I take an inexpensive pen that doesn’t have a clip or any sort of protruding parts and give it a light sanding with a nail file used for acrylic nails. Then I measure (just eyeball really) the length of the pen and it’s diameter. I then cut out the long narrow rectangle from paper or cloth and place it face down on my work surface. If using paper I simply UHU glue stick the entire surface of the paper then lay the pen beside it and roll the pen up in the paper. The paper overlaps slightly therefore adhering to itself. If using fabric I use
ModPodge to adhere it to the pen. A mix of white glue and water also works. Then, whether paper or fabric, I cover it all with ModPodge and let it dry. If the top of the pen is flat I will sometimes glue a small button on top. I have also wrapped the pen with embroidery floss, about an inch from the top, placed a dot of glue under the knot and added a charm. I hope that I have explained this as clearly as you explain things in your videos. I so enjoy you and your videos. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Laura
I just made one and I love it. First of many, probably. 😊 Thank you for sharing. 💕
Great idea, Natasa! Love them! Jo Ann xx
Very fun and I could feel the creative juices flowing
Your tutorials are supreme!
I love this idea and will be making some! Glad to find ways to use my brads and this is a great project that I can do at night while sitting in the den. I have to keep my hands busy. Thank you so much for sharing your time and creativity! !
I'm so glad you like them Terri! Thank you :)
I love the way your mind works!!
Recently found your channel. I’ve enjoyed your videos so much. Your instructions are so clear and you explain every step so thoroughly. Very creative projects with accessible materials. Thank you!
Thanks so much 😊
What fun! I glued my edges together and glued the paperclip in place, too, so it won't slip. All I had was 1" wide elastic and I made the loop a bit too big, but it works! Thank you!
These are so cool! Quick, easy & yep, definitely infinite possibilities!
Glad you like them!
Everything you do is both clever and classy! Love this idea, thanks for sharing so much with us! Hugs💞
You have the most fabulous tutorials!!
You always have plenty of examples of your work, alternative methods, easy to follow instructions, and I love your overall commentary 🥰 you are so creative! Thank you very much for sharing your gifts with us 🤗
Oh WOW, thank you so much!!!!
These are marvelous. I can't wait to make a few, especially since we finally found my sewing machine (we moved recently). Thanks
Thank you so much. I hope you have some fun making these!
Prettiest pen loops around! Love the variety of decorations you've shown. Great idea - thanks!

I LOVE this! I’m always trying to remove & reuse those sticky back pen loops! Also, I can’t believe there’s a video of yours that I’ve never seen! 😅
You just helped me to make my Granddaughter’s journal even more special.
I'm so glad :)
Another wonderful video, pen loops, genius! I would love to have anyone of these but the one with the piece of tablecloth, is my favorite! Lovely job Natasha. 😊🌹
