Junk Journal Start To Finish Series Part 1 - Junk Journal Cover with Fabric Covered Spine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Hi Guys,
Today is the first day of our Junk Journal Start to Finish Series. I will be showing you how I make a cover using chipboard and covering the spine with fabric.
I hope this really helps you to see how easy and possible it is to make your own junk journal from scratch. It is a lot of fun and very satisfying to say that “I” made this book all by myself. Lol
I hope you give this a try and that you continue to tune in to view this series which I will be posting every Friday.
Thanks so much for watching.
Have a great weekend,
Maggie

So glad it was helpful to you! Thank you so much for watching Isabelle
Oh this is great, I have a book to work with so yay! I also found an older Reader's Digest at the thrift store, the color isn't as nice as yours but it does have some age. I'm all set for a new craft! Thanks for sharing
Sounds like you’re ready to craft along with me. Thanks so much for watching
When I use Mod Poch, I just give the covers a quick iron after it's dry. The heat reactivate the glue and smooth every thing out . Just place baking paper over in order not to damage your cover. Mod Poch is more economical than say, fambric glue.
Hi Anso, thanks for the tip. I’ll have to remember that the next time I use Mod Podge. Thanks so much for watching
I love how clean the spine looks. Can’t wait to follow you doing this journal. Thanks so much.
You are so sweet Anne. Thank you so much for watching. Glad you like it so far
Hey, Maggie. Thanks for doing this. I’m really happy you chose fabric cover and chipboard because that’s what I have planned for mine. It’s been mulling around in my brain long enough, so now I can follow your lead.❤📚
Hi Laurie, I really hope this series helps you to start your own. They are fun to make especially since there are no rules, no right or wrong. That’s my favorite part. :)
Thanks for watching
@@SunsetCrafts lol! Yes, I think it will help. My biggest hurdle is always just starting. Once I take that first step, I’m off to the races.😊💕
@LaurieEtchison Soon you’ll be making the covers to your own novels!! :)
@@SunsetCrafts LOL! Yes, yes, I will, ha ha ha!📚😁📖
So excited for this journey- thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks so much for watching Nina
I just Love that outer fabric on the spine! It's gonna make the book beautiful! Can't wait to see what you use with it. TFS 😊
Thanks Kimberly, I’m excited to keep going with the series. It’s going to be fun sharing the process. Thanks so much for watching
Hi Maggie. It looks like your journal is off to a great start! I can hardly wait to see you work on this more. ❤

You are doing a great job taking your time. I love that you used that template for the gutter.😊❤
Thank you so much Suzy. I’m glad you enjoyed this first part of the series. It’s a little nerve wracking sharing when I’m just kind of going with the flow. Lol
I appreciate you watching

Thanks for watching Michael
This is clever. Love it
Thanks so much for watching Vaneese
I think the way you did the cover was great! Idk that I would have been successful trying to do one on my own. I wouldn’t know where to start!!
Great Job
Hi Holly, it’s actually a lot easier than it looks. Once you get the idea on how the cover goes, you go with it. You really can’t go wrong. Thanks so much for watching!
Fun video!
Thanks Desiree. Glad you liked it.
Love it - I enjoy watching how different artists make things - I am going to try with a book cover I received a while back, but I haven’t had the courage to use it - looking forward to following along with you - take care
Thank you so much Cyndi. I’m so happy to know that you enjoyed it. I hope this series helps you get started on your own junk journal journey. Thanks so much for watching
How are you going to do the rest of the cover? Seems like the inside of the spine was done wrong Can't figure how you will go from here.
I’m going to cover it with cardstock. Not sure why you think I did it wrong? I mentioned I am NOT an expert on making junk journals, but the ones I have made always seem to turn out ok at the end.
If you used the whole book with the papers taken out, and don’t cut the spine off, it’s how I’ve been using them for years, then there is no fiddling around, just cover the whole thing.
Hi Margaret, I understand what you’re saying and if the spine is the width I want then I would definitely keep it all as is.
Looking good so far! Will there be a theme to this journal?
Hi Katrina, yes the theme is nature that includes mushrooms and maybe a fairy or two.
Love it Maggie! Where did you get your bottle holder?
Hi Mimi. Yes, I got mine from Craftelier.com.
Thanks for watching Mimi
Can you tell me where you got the glue holder? tfs.
Hi Dianne, I got my glue bottle holder from Craftelier.com. Thanks for watching
I got lost. Why did you cut the book apart, then use chip board to make the cover?
I was just trying to show options on how to use make a cover. It was the wrong size for what I wanted to make, that’s why I cut my cover out of the chipboard.
@@SunsetCrafts Oh! I guess I missed that!
Sorry for the confusion
I missed it too, but I get distracted easy. I think I smelled food or something. Haha. Gorgeous so far!
@rivchick
Sorry about that Krista. I’ll try to be more clear next time. Thanks for watching
i got my glue holder from Amazon ?
Thank you!
Thanks Kathy. I bought mine from Craftelier but I’ll have to find a link from Amazon to share too. Thanks for watching
@@SunsetCrafts your so welcome hun ?
You're going to cut yourself the way you're using the rotary cutter!!! Please investigate the correct way to use, very sharp. I use all the time for quilting, always close when not using also.
Thanks Deolinda
PLEASE, learn how to use your rotary cutter. NEVER place your fingers/hand down near the blade; USE the handle.
I appreciate your concern Connie. But I assure you, I am fine. I’ve used my rotary cutter for used and (knocking on wood) have never injured myself. I apologize if I made you nervous.
