Ignore those who are critical. I'm new to junk journals and I love it. We can do anything we want. I found a box of old letters that grandmother wrote and received in 1946. I was a little tyke then. Some of the writing is a bit faded or in pencil. An airmail stamp was 8 cents. Tina, how can I use them in my journals? Help!! Thanks . I also have a lot of old lace gifted to me.
Thank you ladies, it's lovely to hear your views, I just didn't want people thinking I was misrepresenting junk journals. I like the attitude of calling them what we choose, thank you. x
Hi Paulette, how lovely to have found a box of old letters of your Grandmother's, maybe you could make a collage with some? Beautiful tags etc, make sure to copy them first though, you don't want them to be gone forever x
I just saw someone else tonight use waxed twine/cord/thread and when you tie that knot then it stays in place. She was also able to thread some beads on that as well. That may make it a lot less fiddly. I have some because I use it to sew my signatures in my journals and i think that’s a brilliant idea. Hope that helps you❤
Tina I hope the organization series keeps going awhile I'm really getting good ideas and feel so encouraged! I am so behind on watching the videos, I was the primary caregiver for my ex's Mom for several months. She kept me extremely busy. Not complaining at all I'm thrilled to have had the time with her. I adore your style and personality so I'm determined to catch-up on each one!! Whatever time you upload I'll be watching!! It's free why would we complain!!! Call the journal whatever works for you, I find an artist I enjoy watching and stick with them! Thanks for sharing your talents and time. 🥰🦋😍🐞🤩🐝
Thank you Lala, I have plenty more tidying to do, so they will run for a while yet, thank you for watching, it’s great that we can all encourage one another. It sounds like your situation has changed, I hope you have a bit more time for yourself now, it was a very kind thing to look after your ex’s Mom like that. Thank you for all your kindness, I always love hearing from you x
Tina I really enjoyed this video, great way to use your ribbon etc. I have made tassels before and I really enjoyed seeing your efforts. They’re lovely, I really enjoy the ones with different colours. I also enjoyed the chats about different things, journals or junk journals, interesting I must pop across to see what all the fuss is about. Also your concern about the time you upload your videos, as we’ve said before your channel your rules, we’ll adjust accordingly. For any that don’t tough luck, mind you I can’t see any of your regular stubbies minding. Thanks. Oh ps you are just as I imagined you but with lighter coloured hair. 💕💕💕💕💕. Enjoyed my time with you as always.👋🏻
I think you should post your videos when it is best for you and your family. We can watch you anytime and as often as we like. Your time and family life is important. I so appreciate your ideas and work. Bless you all.
My mom and dad were of the original scrapbook generation. Way back then, scrapbooks were just that: scraps of memorabilia collected and pasted down with photographs. Jump to the late 1900s, all the companies selling papers, rubber stamps, stickers, and borders, were in no-way what I considered a scrapbook. The results of all the accumulation of materials were and still are a marketing ploy to sell products. I love my "JUNK" and will continue to mix new and old combined into a book that has a lovely alliteration, Junk Journal. Semantics--sheesh!
Hi Tina, thanks for this fun video. I do make some tassels for my journals but I do find them fiddily too! Gayle Agostinelli says you can call them handmade journals if you don’t want to say junk journal.
I enjoy your videos very much, the lock down makes one a tad nutty at times so to tune into your videos help pass the time away...here in the US Thank you ❤️
Watching this on tv tuesday night. These tassels are a lovely way to decorate the side of a journal cover. It doesn't matter what we call it junk journal or journal we all take something plain and turn it into something creative.
I saw that definition video and it's put me of her, which is a shame as I loved her stuff. Couldn't resist a bit of sarcasm when I commented on it. 😘 Said I'd start keeping all my junk journaling supplies in bins to avoid confusion 😁 One woman's treasure is another woman's junk!
Love your videos, thank you. I don't often comment but I watch every one. Thank you for showing me an easy way to make these. I have watched many videos and to be honest, as lovely as they are, I just want something easy, the way you explain and don't measure, is my way of learning. Well done xx Also, hunger games is one of my top ten films too. Stay safe xx
Oh thank you so much Michelle for your support in watching my videos, and lovely to hear from you. I am really pleased that you liked the tassels, I just can’t get on with anything too complicated or fiddly, so these - basic as they are - were just fine to be able to do. Yes Hunger Games is fantastic isn’t it? X
Tina, here in the uk 2am is when we and you should be asleep. Don’t disrupt your daily routine for viewers, they can watch at any time. You are always there xx
Love your tassels so glad you made them now I can try they are beautiful enjoy your tutorials so much hope your Dad had a great birthday! Thank you for all you have taught me !
Love your color combinations on the tassels. They turned out beautifully. I would not have known how to use the eyelash trim. Thank you for the inspiration.🙂
Thank you Brandy, yes I love that we can just make these tassels without the need for extra supplies. Great points about Jenny’s video, love your analogy about you can’t paint an oil painting and call it a watercolour. No harm from her information, and let’s face it, the most important thing is to enjoy what we’re doing. Take care x
@@shabbydabbydoodah Absolutely-- create because you love creating!! She even said several times this is for information-- so you really know what the difference is.
Tina you call them Junk Journals whenever you want, you are so right as people do look for junk journal when searching so just call them that. Who has the right to correct anyone on here and who cares. Really enjoying these beautiful Tassels x
I saw that video as well. I took it with a grain of salt and moved on. I think our journals are a mix of new, vintage, junk, hand me downs and "oh I found this stuck to my shoe, I could use that". We make them in a "junky" style I guess we could say. Your tassels are beautiful! Can't wait to see how you use them!
I love your tassels! I like the idea for not having special items to have to use. I work 6p-6a US time and your old upload time was around 4am my time. You should upload whatever time is good for you we are here regardless ☺️ the terminology thing..I do understand what she is saying but everyone does use the same term. But there are certainly elements used that would've been trashed so there my idea is that's junk.. LOL. Love tidy Friday!!!!
Thank you for your feedback about the upload time. Yes, I agree, even if a lot of the stuff is bought specifically for the journal, we often use things that would have been thrown away otherwise, old clothes, books, envelopes etc x
I must not be the normal then. I watch videos at various times of the day because I watch so many different people I watch sometimes at 4 am others at 1 in the afternoon. Sometimes that’s all I do all day. However with that said you and Rachel are always my first two I watch no fibbing and have since I began watching journal making and mud larking etc etc.
Lol, yes 4am is really probably not the most common time to watch!!! Thank you for your kindness, and I am so humbled to be in there with Rachel. Mud Larking???? I have to google that. x
Hi Shabbydabbydoodah , Yes Caroline is great i saw the tassel on her Peacock journal and asked her it she would do a tutorial and wow she did .I love the colours you did in this I have done some Christmas ones for my daughters Christmas journals I have also taught some of my friensd and I did a video for my craft club on line xxx Chel & Jeff xx UK
Hi Tina, I love your easy method for making tassels. I’ve only made one and I can’t even remember how I made it. But your way is very easy. Now I’m going to have to make more. I agree with you on the whole “junk” journal thing. If you didn’t list your journals as junk journals they wouldn’t be found. I think Debby called it, Jenny is not the boss as to what we call our creations 😊. Regarding your video download time, you should do what works for you. I do watch when I’m having my morning tea, so I’ll just watch your latest video. I won’t get it till 9:00 am and I’m done my tea by then and going on with my day. So I’ll just watch it that night or the next morning while have my tea. So again, do what works for you. I think most people would agree that we’ll still watch your videos no matter when you download them. Hugs 🤗
Thank you so much Linda, I really appreciate your feedback about the timings. Yes, these tassels are super easy aren't they? Have fun with them. Thank you for your reassurance about the Jenny Journal thing, I just wanted to run it by you all, as I wasn't sure if everyone thought I was misrepresenting junk journals x
Those turned out just lovely Tina! Very doable and no special tools needed. 🥰❤️. I, too have enjoyed your organization videos on Friday...I’m so envious of your progress. I look forward to seeing what you have coming up.
Oh thank you so much Kathryn, yes let's just keep things easy is my motto!!! Lol. Thank you for watching my Tidy Friday's I am feeling really excited by my progress, lot's more to do yet though c

Thank you, Tima for this fun tutorial. Your creations are always beautiful. About Barbara's discussion on what to call journals, I am not overly concerned what I call my journals or other people call theirs. But, when we have a channel, like I do, if we want views, we usually have to refer to them as "junk journals" ~~ At least in the title~~ Thus, we do not need to be picky about what we call them. But I do understand that some people like to be correct in these things, and that is ok, too.
Journals have changed and evolved with everyone’s different ideas. As long as you are enjoying what you do and make who really cares what it is called. I see you point about calling then junk journals so they can be found by people like me. There had been lots of interesting discussions around this subject that’s for sure, I think it is good that people are talking about j j. Please tell your father Happy Birthday. Love these tassels, it was fun to watch and gave me some ideas. Thank you 🇨🇦
Thank you Bernice, it’s a tricky one, but judging by the comments, I think it’s all fine to still call them a junk journal, or as one lady suggested a vintage style journal is a great description. I just wanted to put it out there in case many ladies felt the same. Thank you for the birthday wishes for my Dad, we had a lovely time socially distanced 🙃 . Have fun with making your tassels x
I've made tassels for my cane...various colors to match my outfits ...my fav was for Disney World!! I had tons of comments but then ended up losing it at Magic kingdom 😟so whoever found it...enjoy!!
Oh I love that you made tassels for your cane to match your outfits, how awesome. Oh what a shame that you lost one at Magic Kingdom, but I'm sure some little girl probably spotted it and picked it up and loved it! x
thank you so much Tina for the mention, I love making these fiber tassels, they look so great and so many things you can use to make them. Yes the eyelash trim can be a bit of a pain to work with that is for sure.
Beautiful tassels! They really dress up a journal!!!!!! I've used some twine in some of mine and then went back in and threaded some buttons on the ends of the twine to give some added character to the tassel!!!!!!! You can also tie some charms to the ends of the twine that way too!!!!!
Happy Birthday to Daddy!!! I hope you all had a very nice evening! Very lovely tassels! the reason I got in to making Journals (2012) is I was going on a trip and my art pad of paper fell apart. so I fixed it. ( I just had to reach up and look at it sniff sniff) its full of all kinds of ideas painting doodling quotes and much more. travel worn and loved! and yes I have so many others and they all are full of "junk" my junk that I collect on my travels any thing we make, write, draw, paint or doodle is part of who we are it tells our story. I think the word Junk is miss used may be recycled or up cycled is a better way to call our Mixed Media Journals. one of my latest creations is from Crown Royal whisky bottle bags. I took them apart and sewed them back together and have a beautiful purple quilted cover. And made a nice 4 signature Journal. I love it. an other example of a junk journal is I use paper bags and the paper packaging to make sewn in pages for the grand kids and they love there little books! Now when I sell my books/ journals/ mixed media journals. I use all kinds of paper new, old, died or not, scrap book paper excreta. my point is my favorite Quote: Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. Arthur Ashe We all make beautiful ART out of what we have around our craft rooms." Fill your paper(books, Journals,) with the breathing of your heart" Many blessings on your Journey! hugs to all!
Playing catch up. I think the timing now is great. You catch the American's on in the evening and we get you when we get up. We are still doing junk journals because we are saving things from going to the tip. Old books, cereal packets for inside our journal covers, loo roll inserts for jj cards, pockets etc., old clothes, old curtains especially lace ones, it's just more vintage and not the junk mail part of it unless you are Linda Israel and use it for gelli printing on. I love how jj has evolved to todays. have a lovely Monday Tina. Still raining up here. love and hugs xxxx
I’m so new to journaling that I haven’t got very much lace, ribbon or anything to make these tassels yet, but will definitely save the video so that when my supplies get better I can make them. I have bulb pins though lol. X
Your tassels are lovely, Tina! I have to give it a go but I'm more thumbs than fingers lol, I usually make paper tassels with a die, but I simply love how your tassels turned out! If I can't watch your video when you upload or I miss a day or two, I have a binge watch Tina session lol, I'll be here watching no matter what time you upload lol! Enjoy your day/evening! Hugs X
Thank you so much Kylie, I really always appreciate your support and kindness. I know what you mean about being more thumbs!! They are fiddly, but I loved making them x
Lol, thank you Margaret. I definitely don't do the jewellery bits, find them all wayyyyyyyyyy to fiddly!!! That said, you could always add old jewellery to tassels and journals, then you don't have to make it yourself x
These are anything but "just journals"... Jenny can have her definition & that's fine. BUT, I refuse to be defined! 😉 Junk Journal it is! And, before I was a junk journaler, I made jewelry. I like to add bits & bobs, from my jewelry stash, to my tassels. Charms are fun to dangle in them too.
Yes, having read the comments, you are right we will continue to call them junk journals. Oh fantastic that you make jewellery too, you are super talented, wayyyyyyy too fiddly for me!!! Yes, the bits and bobs will look great in your tassels x
Love the tassels, Tina! It doesn’t matter to me what time of day people post as I watch videos whenever I have some time. I am in the US so there will always be a time gap anyway. The only time I think it matters to me is if I am looking to buy a specific journal and the artist does the video in the middle of (our) night and immediately posts the book to Etsy. Chances are it will be sold before I see it, but with all of us in many different countries there is no way around this. As to the definition of junk journals, I do think that many of our books should not be labeled as such. Most of the artists that I follow, such as yourself, work in a theme and use beautiful items which are definitely not junk. Though I enjoy watching people who create actual junk journals, which I think is a spin off of slam books, they are not really something I personally create, preferring to work in an integrated vintage theme. On my videos, I generally title them as vintage junk journals to play into the search parameters, but when people ask me about my hobby, I simply say that I create journals. Let’s face it, “junk” journals are a current fad, but “journals” have been kept for centuries. A rose by any other name!
Thank you Sue for your feedback about the timings, great point about when journals go for sale, so hopefully a change in time will work well for most. I love that, you are so right, journals have been kept for centuries, so describing as just creating journals is perfect x
Lovely tassels. I agree with you about eyelash trim and I think it works beautifully in the tassels but I especially love the little pearl strands.. Happy birthday to your father. This is such a difficult time and I'm not sure if most people realize how hard it is on seniors who are so family oriented. Depression is a very prevalent thing for them. I think it's wonderful that your family is finding a way to let your parents know that they are still a very important part of your lives and that you miss their contribution to the family. 🇨🇦
I LOVE the tidy Friday’s. I am so proud of your determination to change your mess into organized areas and the fact you are aware every day of the areas to be kept clean.
Oh thank you Sherry, I really appreciate your encouragement. I have really made lots of progress of the last couple of weeks, which you will see soon x
These tassels turned out beautifully! I like both types; the matching ones and the colorful ones. I make them, too. But, I never thought of doing the top with a bulb pin like that. Great idea! Take care, Tina!
Newish subbie here. LOVE your channel! Call them Junk Journals if you want to, people aren’t stupid. 🧐 I’m on the West coast in the US, I get home from work and see what you’ve uploaded, time is irrelevant to me. Love these tassels, I will be making them till the cows come home, have so much ribbon, it’s embarrassing and what a great way to use some up. You do you, and no apologies necessary, I love the things you do, you’re very creative! 💕💕
Tina, please upload your videos whenever you want, we can watch the video whenever we want, your videos are there. It's maybe differend when your doing a Live video. Congratulations with your dad. Have a lovely time. Love the tassels.
I saw this Jenny video listed and knew I did not want anything to do with it. My husband throws the junk away at the post office. I use coffee dyed papers and scrapbooking papers and print out digitals to make journals with. I am not going to be so strict about defining whether it meets a certain idea of what it needs to be, it is art and one person does it the way they do to express themselves. Nitpicking is not fun and I like to see the way another person has done things , everyone is different and sees art differently. So I have given myself permission to be me. I love the way you do things and your art is beautiful. So please let it flow and enjoy it! Hugs Lady.
Oh thank you so much Patricia, fantastic points. I just didn't want anyone thinking I was misrepresenting junk journals. I think the most important thing as you say is just go with the flow and enjoy what you're doing x
Love your tassels, Tina! :) Thanks for showing how to make these! BTW I'm going back to calling it junk journaling! :)))) I decided that the definition of junk journaling has evolved over time and should now include anything you want to include! :)))))
Oh thank you Barbara, these are super simple, but I think they do the job ok. Yes, I too am going to stick with junk journals as my definition, as it really seems from comments that people weren't bothered by the definitons x
These Tassels are lovely Tina. I bought a job lot of craft from eBay and it included some jewellery stuff, so I’m trying to make dangles and include them in my tassels. I have made a few, but not been brave enough to make a video of me making them yet. Jewellery isn’t my strong point either. I love the way you try things outside your comfort zone, that’s what makes your channel so good to watch! 💕
Nice tassels, on the other point I wonder what you would call half a journal made with a digital and half with trash lol. Yes that’s what I tend to make. I always thought the journals made from just junk were called Trashy journals but hey ho , I didn’t watch all her video as just thought does it really matter? Not to me as I would most probably get it wrong anyway. My title for my next journal will be Journal/part junk journal as that’s exactly what it is lol. Xx
Lol, I'll be watching out for that then!!! Haha. I just thought I had better mention it, as I wondered if everyone was feeling the same way. Judging by the comments though, most of us feel the same, that they have all evolved and most importantly we can call them whatever, it's just crafting at the end of the day! x
I love your tassels, they look just gorgeous 🥰 YOU'RE A NATURAL!!! I have some of the jewelry stuff, but I'm all thumbs, so your way is just perfect 👏👍 I can't find eyelash trim here in Norway, but I found some fur yarn that is similar! I got some eyelash trim in a happy mail 🤩 and loving it!
Thank you so much Mette. I do find things like this so very fiddly, but these are super easy so that even I can manage them. Have fun with your tassels x
I never thought about using my faux pearl strings before...love the idea. Good way to get them used up and out of my stash. 😊 As for when you post your videos, doesn't really matter as we will all find a convenient time to watch them. So do what works for you. I think it was the 2nd tassel you made that made me think if you could add a touch of turquoise/blue it would have been perfect for your autumnal altered book. 😊 TFS (you have such great ideas.
I did add that to my altered book, hopefully do a final flip through in the next few days, the tassel was just the perfect finishing touch. Thank you for your feedback about the publishing times x

Thank you so much Beverley for you feedback and also Birthday wishes for my Dad x
I give you my permission to call them junk journals. Barbara or Jenny or whoever is not the boss of paper crafting! Love these tassels.
Debby Conway I agree. We use junk hello. Who determines what the description of junk is and I don’t care my junk is my junk 😂
Ignore those who are critical. I'm new to junk journals and I love it. We can do anything we want. I found a box of old letters that grandmother wrote and received in 1946. I was a little tyke then. Some of the writing is a bit faded or in pencil. An airmail stamp was 8 cents. Tina, how can I use them in my journals? Help!! Thanks . I also have a lot of old lace gifted to me.

Love the tassels. Can’t wait to see how tidy that room is.
Lol, honestly my craft area is really looking good now x
Shabbydabbydoodah so happy for you, nothing like a dreadful job being almost complete.
I saw that video as well. I took it with a grain of salt and moved on. I think our journals are a mix of new, vintage, junk, hand me downs and "oh I found this stuck to my shoe, I could use that". We make them in a "junky" style I guess we could say. Your tassels are beautiful! Can't wait to see how you use them!
Lol, loved your summation of what we use and how we make our journals, I chuckled at the “oh I found this stuck on my shoe”! 🤭🙃😊 x

Thank you for your feedback about the upload time. Yes, I agree, even if a lot of the stuff is bought specifically for the journal, we often use things that would have been thrown away otherwise, old clothes, books, envelopes etc x
These are so lovely. Thank you Tina. 🥰
I must not be the normal then. I watch videos at various times of the day because I watch so many different people I watch sometimes at 4 am others at 1 in the afternoon. Sometimes that’s all I do all day. However with that said you and Rachel are always my first two I watch no fibbing and have since I began watching journal making and mud larking etc etc.
Lol, yes 4am is really probably not the most common time to watch!!! Thank you for your kindness, and I am so humbled to be in there with Rachel. Mud Larking???? I have to google that. x
You can buy bulb pins on Amazon as well. These tassels are amazing. Love them. X
Hi Shabbydabbydoodah , Yes Caroline is great i saw the tassel on her Peacock journal and asked her it she would do a tutorial and wow she did .I love the colours you did in this I have done some Christmas ones for my daughters Christmas journals I have also taught some of my friensd and I did a video for my craft club on line xxx Chel & Jeff xx UK
She is fantastic isn't she, she does wonderful tutorials, How lovely to do some in Christmas colours x
Hi Tina, I love your easy method for making tassels. I’ve only made one and I can’t even remember how I made it. But your way is very easy. Now I’m going to have to make more.
I agree with you on the whole “junk” journal thing. If you didn’t list your journals as junk journals they wouldn’t be found. I think Debby called it, Jenny is not the boss as to what we call our creations 😊.
Regarding your video download time, you should do what works for you. I do watch when I’m having my morning tea, so I’ll just watch your latest video. I won’t get it till 9:00 am and I’m done my tea by then and going on with my day. So I’ll just watch it that night or the next morning while have my tea. So again, do what works for you. I think most people would agree that we’ll still watch your videos no matter when you download them. Hugs 🤗
Thank you so much Linda, I really appreciate your feedback about the timings. Yes, these tassels are super easy aren't they? Have fun with them. Thank you for your reassurance about the Jenny Journal thing, I just wanted to run it by you all, as I wasn't sure if everyone thought I was misrepresenting junk journals x
Those turned out just lovely Tina! Very doable and no special tools needed. 🥰❤️. I, too have enjoyed your organization videos on Friday...I’m so envious of your progress. I look forward to seeing what you have coming up.
Oh thank you so much Kathryn, yes let's just keep things easy is my motto!!! Lol. Thank you for watching my Tidy Friday's I am feeling really excited by my progress, lot's more to do yet though c
Sorry that was meant to be a x not a c x

I think I'll make a tassel today!!! 💕
Thank you, Tima for this fun tutorial. Your creations are always beautiful. About Barbara's discussion on what to call journals, I am not overly concerned what I call my journals or other people call theirs. But, when we have a channel, like I do, if we want views, we usually have to refer to them as "junk journals" ~~ At least in the title~~ Thus, we do not need to be picky about what we call them. But I do understand that some people like to be correct in these things, and that is ok, too.
I totally love your Tidy Friday videos! I’m always inspired by all your ideas! Gillian British Columbia, Canada
Jenny has definitely got everyone talking! 😉
Absolutely Gorgeous😊🌹
Journals have changed and evolved with everyone’s different ideas. As long as you are enjoying what you do and make who really cares what it is called. I see you point about calling then junk journals so they can be found by people like me. There had been lots of interesting discussions around this subject that’s for sure, I think it is good that people are talking about j j. Please tell your father Happy Birthday. Love these tassels, it was fun to watch and gave me some ideas. Thank you 🇨🇦
Thank you Bernice, it’s a tricky one, but judging by the comments, I think it’s all fine to still call them a junk journal, or as one lady suggested a vintage style journal is a great description. I just wanted to put it out there in case many ladies felt the same. Thank you for the birthday wishes for my Dad, we had a lovely time socially distanced 🙃 . Have fun with making your tassels x
Hi Tina, your tassles are lovely ❤️ xx
Yes be bold. Loving the purple. I have to agree the eclectic ones are much more to my liking but I like them all. Well done Tina.
Yes the eclectic ones are really nice aren't they, just goes to show x
I've made tassels for my cane...various colors to match my outfits ...my fav was for Disney World!! I had tons of comments but then ended up losing it at Magic kingdom 😟so whoever found it...enjoy!!
Oh I love that you made tassels for your cane to match your outfits, how awesome. Oh what a shame that you lost one at Magic Kingdom, but I'm sure some little girl probably spotted it and picked it up and loved it! x
Sara do you make tassel necklaces?
thank you so much Tina for the mention, I love making these fiber tassels, they look so great and so many things you can use to make them. Yes the eyelash trim can be a bit of a pain to work with that is for sure.
I loved your tassels tutorial, thank you Caroline for showing such a doable method of making them x
O' my God love the tassels, I was making them along with you. So Much Fun Thank you Dale
Beautiful tassels! They really dress up a journal!!!!!! I've used some twine in some of mine and then went back in and threaded some buttons on the ends of the twine to give some added character to the tassel!!!!!!! You can also tie some charms to the ends of the twine that way too!!!!!
Fantastic idea Betty to thread some buttons on, and great idea for the charms too x
Happy Birthday to Daddy!!! I hope you all had a very nice evening! Very lovely tassels! the reason I got in to making Journals
(2012) is I was going on a trip and my art pad of paper fell apart. so I fixed it. ( I just had to reach up and look at it sniff sniff) its full of all kinds of ideas painting doodling quotes and much more. travel worn and loved! and yes I have so many others and they all are full of "junk" my junk that I collect on my travels any thing we make, write, draw, paint or doodle is part of who we are it tells our story. I think the word Junk is miss used may be recycled or up cycled is a better way to call our Mixed Media Journals. one of my latest creations is from Crown Royal whisky bottle bags. I took them apart and sewed them back together and have a beautiful purple quilted cover. And made a nice 4 signature Journal. I love it. an other example of a junk journal is I use paper bags and the paper packaging to make sewn in pages for the grand kids and they love there little books! Now when I sell my books/ journals/ mixed media journals. I use all kinds of paper new, old, died or not, scrap book paper excreta. my point is my favorite Quote: Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. Arthur Ashe We all make beautiful ART out of what we have around our craft rooms." Fill your paper(books, Journals,) with the breathing of your heart" Many blessings on your Journey! hugs to all!
Oh thank you so much Frances, we had a lovely time for my Dad’s birthday. Beautiful sentiments about our journals x
Seems so simply, if you’re not all thumbs...😻
Playing catch up. I think the timing now is great. You catch the American's on in the evening and we get you when we get up. We are still doing junk journals because we are saving things from going to the tip. Old books, cereal packets for inside our journal covers, loo roll inserts for jj cards, pockets etc., old clothes, old curtains especially lace ones, it's just more vintage and not the junk mail part of it unless you are Linda Israel and use it for gelli printing on. I love how jj has evolved to todays. have a lovely Monday Tina. Still raining up here. love and hugs xxxx
Thank you for sharing love that you don’t need much to make it look so good 😍😍❤️😘🥰😊💕
I’m so new to journaling that I haven’t got very much lace, ribbon or anything to make these tassels yet, but will definitely save the video so that when my supplies get better I can make them. I have bulb pins though lol. X
Lol, I love that you have bulb pins, but not lace!! Ha ha!! I think thin strips of cotton fabric etc would work well too x
Your tassels are lovely, Tina! I have to give it a go but I'm more thumbs than fingers lol, I usually make paper tassels with a die, but I simply love how your tassels turned out!
If I can't watch your video when you upload or I miss a day or two, I have a binge watch Tina session lol, I'll be here watching no matter what time you upload lol!
Enjoy your day/evening!
Hugs X
Thank you so much Kylie, I really always appreciate your support and kindness. I know what you mean about being more thumbs!! They are fiddly, but I loved making them x
Hi Tina , thank you for showing how to make them . I’ve always wanted to know . Beautiful! 💞💗💞
You’re welcome Fern, have fun with them x
The tassels are lovely!
If you upload at four in the morning your time that would be 10 AM in America time.
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Thank you, that is helpful x
A woman after my own heart! I don't do fiddly either. I've been hoping to find someone who makes these without jewelry bits. Ahhhhh! Tks Tina 😁 Mx
Lol, thank you Margaret. I definitely don't do the jewellery bits, find them all wayyyyyyyyyy to fiddly!!! That said, you could always add old jewellery to tassels and journals, then you don't have to make it yourself x
These are anything but "just journals"... Jenny can have her definition & that's fine. BUT, I refuse to be defined! 😉 Junk Journal it is!
And, before I was a junk journaler, I made jewelry. I like to add bits & bobs, from my jewelry stash, to my tassels. Charms are fun to dangle in them too.
Yes, having read the comments, you are right we will continue to call them junk journals. Oh fantastic that you make jewellery too, you are super talented, wayyyyyyy too fiddly for me!!! Yes, the bits and bobs will look great in your tassels x
"...I refuse to be defined...", kinda says it all! You go "You Can Create Too"! I am looking up your channel now~
Love the tassels, Tina! It doesn’t matter to me what time of day people post as I watch videos whenever I have some time. I am in the US so there will always be a time gap anyway. The only time I think it matters to me is if I am looking to buy a specific journal and the artist does the video in the middle of (our) night and immediately posts the book to Etsy. Chances are it will be sold before I see it, but with all of us in many different countries there is no way around this. As to the definition of junk journals, I do think that many of our books should not be labeled as such. Most of the artists that I follow, such as yourself, work in a theme and use beautiful items which are definitely not junk. Though I enjoy watching people who create actual junk journals, which I think is a spin off of slam books, they are not really something I personally create, preferring to work in an integrated vintage theme. On my videos, I generally title them as vintage junk journals to play into the search parameters, but when people ask me about my hobby, I simply say that I create journals. Let’s face it, “junk” journals are a current fad, but “journals” have been kept for centuries. A rose by any other name!
Thank you Sue for your feedback about the timings, great point about when journals go for sale, so hopefully a change in time will work well for most. I love that, you are so right, journals have been kept for centuries, so describing as just creating journals is perfect x
Lovely tassels. I agree with you about eyelash trim and I think it works beautifully in the tassels but I especially love the little pearl strands.. Happy birthday to your father. This is such a difficult time and I'm not sure if most people realize how hard it is on seniors who are so family oriented. Depression is a very prevalent thing for them. I think it's wonderful that your family is finding a way to let your parents know that they are still a very important part of your lives and that you miss their contribution to the family. 🇨🇦
Thank you Janet, and for your birthday wishes to my Dad. We had a really nice time, and the table seating worked really well x
Lovely 😄
Super Duper. Can't wait to try these.
I LOVE the tidy Friday’s. I am so proud of your determination to change your mess into organized areas and the fact you are aware every day of the areas to be kept clean.
Oh thank you Sherry, I really appreciate your encouragement. I have really made lots of progress of the last couple of weeks, which you will see soon x
These tassels turned out beautifully! I like both types; the matching ones and the colorful ones. I make them, too. But, I never thought of doing the top with a bulb pin like that. Great idea!
Take care, Tina!
Thank you so much Jobeth. I just like to do things easy, lol x
@@shabbydabbydoodah I so appreciate that about you. You show us easy projects. Thanks! :)
Really pretty...will try making one..thanks.
Newish subbie here. LOVE your channel!
Call them Junk Journals if you want to, people aren’t stupid. 🧐 I’m on the West coast in the US, I get home from work and see what you’ve uploaded, time is irrelevant to me.
Love these tassels, I will be making them till the cows come home, have so much ribbon, it’s embarrassing and what a great way to use some up.
You do you, and no apologies necessary, I love the things you do, you’re very creative! 💕💕
Oh thank you so much, and welcome to my channel x
First one turned out lovely. ❤️❤️❤️
Tina, please upload your videos whenever you want, we can watch the video whenever we want, your videos are there. It's maybe differend when your doing a Live video. Congratulations with your dad. Have a lovely time. Love the tassels.
Beautiful!!! Love the tassel lesson. Thank you. I now will try this.
Thank you for this video I really enjoyed it.
I saw this Jenny video listed and knew I did not want anything to do with it. My husband throws the junk away at the post office. I use coffee dyed papers and scrapbooking papers and print out digitals to make journals with. I am not going to be so strict about defining whether it meets a certain idea of what it needs to be, it is art and one person does it the way they do to express themselves. Nitpicking is not fun and I like to see the way another person has done things , everyone is different and sees art differently. So I have given myself permission to be me. I love the way you do things and your art is beautiful. So please let it flow and enjoy it! Hugs Lady.
Oh thank you so much Patricia, fantastic points. I just didn't want anyone thinking I was misrepresenting junk journals. I think the most important thing as you say is just go with the flow and enjoy what you're doing x
@@shabbydabbydoodah It can scramble your creativity if you let it and I happen to love your work as it is no worries!
Nice, I'm going to see if I can use some lace and ribbons tonight. 🎀 hmm, door tassles for Fall.
Door tassels, what a lovely idea x
No I have never made a tassel but am going to try this you have simplified it for me I think these are beautiful
That's fantastic Sherry, have fun with these x
Love your tassels, Tina! :) Thanks for showing how to make these! BTW I'm going back to calling it junk journaling! :)))) I decided that the definition of junk journaling has evolved over time and should now include anything you want to include! :)))))
Oh thank you Barbara, these are super simple, but I think they do the job ok. Yes, I too am going to stick with junk journals as my definition, as it really seems from comments that people weren't bothered by the definitons x
I have seen a lot of ways to make tassels and this is definitely my favorite 💕 Tfs
Oh thank you so much Lisa x
These Tassels are lovely Tina. I bought a job lot of craft from eBay and it included some jewellery stuff, so I’m trying to make dangles and include them in my tassels. I have made a few, but not been brave enough to make a video of me making them yet. Jewellery isn’t my strong point either. I love the way you try things outside your comfort zone, that’s what makes your channel so good to watch! 💕
Oh thank you so much Lena. Good for you too for trying the jewellery making, x
very pretty Tina ...:)
Love these. If you didn’t have bulb pins, you could probably use a paper clip xx
Yes, another fantastic idea x
Beautiful work! As a side note the new upload time works well for me. I’m in the southeastern United States.
Thank you Michelle, and for your feedback about the publishing time x
Beautiful 💜💜💜
That was so fun! Just love it.
Thank you Tina. Definitely going to try a few of these.
Love it🌻💙
Beautiful tassels!!
We had rain all day here too on Sunday.
Just horrible......perfect for crafting though x
I love it! Great job
Beautiful
Nice job, Tina!
Love this TFS.
Nice tassels, on the other point I wonder what you would call half a journal made with a digital and half with trash lol. Yes that’s what I tend to make. I always thought the journals made from just junk were called Trashy journals but hey ho , I didn’t watch all her video as just thought does it really matter? Not to me as I would most probably get it wrong anyway. My title for my next journal will be Journal/part junk journal as that’s exactly what it is lol. Xx
Lol, I'll be watching out for that then!!! Haha. I just thought I had better mention it, as I wondered if everyone was feeling the same way. Judging by the comments though, most of us feel the same, that they have all evolved and most importantly we can call them whatever, it's just crafting at the end of the day! x
I love your tassels, they look just gorgeous 🥰 YOU'RE A NATURAL!!! I have some of the jewelry stuff, but I'm all thumbs, so your way is just perfect 👏👍 I can't find eyelash trim here in Norway, but I found some fur yarn that is similar! I got some eyelash trim in a happy mail 🤩 and loving it!
Thank you so much Mette. I do find things like this so very fiddly, but these are super easy so that even I can manage them. Have fun with your tassels x
Tina. We have faith in you. Lol you can do this. And great idea sin i have tons of ribbons and eyelash
Lol, I actually really enjoyed making them in the end, might have to do some more :-) x
Oh suggestion maybe on storing them. I think I saw someone store theirs on a book ring. It would hold a few of them
What a fantastic idea, thank you x
I never thought about using my faux pearl strings before...love the idea. Good way to get them used up and out of my stash. 😊 As for when you post your videos, doesn't really matter as we will all find a convenient time to watch them. So do what works for you. I think it was the 2nd tassel you made that made me think if you could add a touch of turquoise/blue it would have been perfect for your autumnal altered book. 😊 TFS (you have such great ideas.
I did add that to my altered book, hopefully do a final flip through in the next few days, the tassel was just the perfect finishing touch. Thank you for your feedback about the publishing times x
