- In this tutorial you will learn how to make Easy DIY ENVELOPE BOOKS two ways! Organize anything from stickers to documents, journal ephemera, photographs, memories, bills to pay, receipts and more!!
You can make any size from small to large and you can use side opening or top opening envelopes. I will also teach you how you can have your books open all the way, or have the construction stay in book form. Either way you make them, your envelope books will lay flat when opened, which is a huge bonus. Enjoy!

Video made by Natasa from Treasure Books: Envelope Books DIY Easy!
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
These would make amazing travel journals! You could have 1 envelope per day and then have a few pieces of paper inside to write about your day. Then just stuff in any ephemera like receipts, tickets, keepsakes, etc. And when you get home you could glue your trip photos to the front of the envelopes that match what's inside. ❤
Seems more straightforward than trying to actually junk journal while away from home :)
super, super, super idea
Such a great idea!!
I love this idea! 😍
This is a fantastic idea, love it.
Fabulous concept ❤. And all the different uses for such journals is endless. As for the
"damaged" papers, you could dampen them with water then iron them to soften the folds and use them for collage papers. Perhaps you could also dampen the papers and scrunch them up a few times so the paper is an overall textured paper which I know I have seen you use so many times. I have no fears that you will have any difficulty finding a use for your "damaged" papers.
Great video with great advice on the use of the scoreboard.😊❤😊
Thank you for explaining why the scoreboard technique is NOT just scoring all at once!!! I always thought it was something I was doing, like not scoring in the right groove, etc…, I quit making books that required an accordion! Now I can play with it again, not getting frustrated! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
I find that the scoreboard itself can be difficult to achieve accuracy with. Natasha i girlie, you area genius & such a hard working perfectionist
!
Me too!!! It looked easy but was full of room for error. So I stopped doing it except for very eclectic fun loose wonky looks.
Waouh j adore les 5 créations.. je vais m en faire...merci pour cette vidéo ❤❤❤
Never done anything like this. I could see "a mess" happening before I even started. You have ROCKED it, absolutely Genius.
Definitely going to have a go tomorrow. Thank You 💕🏴
Thank you vers much for your very clear explanations ! I feel less stupid in front of my scoring board which tout often gives me unpleasant surprises...
I'll going to tryptophane quickly... I can't wait until I finish thé current album to start !!!
I can't choose one or the other, I love both and I Will try to do both...
Business to follow !!! With all my gratitude ❤
I love these books.❤ I have lots of envelopes and this is a beautiful way to use them. I do use my scoreboard to make harmonica folds and they turn out pretty great. I learned that the score line you make should always be a mountain fold, not a valley fold. So I would score every inch and then flip the paper and score every half inch. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas. Best, Mirande
@@creamade3235 great tip, thank a lot!!
Thanks for the tip! 😊
@creamade3235❤ THANK YOU for this comment! I was at my wits end with my project, and I watched Natasa video, knowing it would help. BUT, when I read your comment I had to try it,, and YES!! YOU saved my project, and my video. Thank you so much, and thank you Natasa for this video!!! ❤😊 I love you both!!
I've been racking my brain to come up with things like this to put in a journal for my sister. Except, she doesn't want writing space but rather pockets and such , just to put stuff in. This is perfect! Thank you for yet another brilliant idea.
You would not believe what I have made out of the collective teaching you've given us. Thank you for being you and being here to share it with us! ❤
P.S. I agree that practice makes perfect!
Always :)
I woke up at 3:30 am and couldn’t quite go back to sleep. So I watch a couple creative videos and stumble on Treasure Books. 📚 Well I happen to love Treasure Books and had to see your newest creation. 😮 WOW. I am SO EXCITED about this new video of yours. I am still making a number of your junk journals about 5 months back. I cannot wait to give this a try. My wheels are turning as I savor each set of instructions. Thank you Natasa. ❤ All I can say is yippee 🙌. Looks so fun.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you loved it!
Natasha is a genius - that's all I can say! I'm in awe of all these projects!
Thank you so much :)
"Because why not!" That's my new favorite phrase now 😊 Brilliant idea!
Thank you! 😃
@@yogispeed287 right! She is amazing! How does she do it! Excellence!z👑🫶🏼💪🏼💥🤟🏼💫
Thank you, Natasa. When I first learned how to make envelope books, my instructor had all the pieces in a kit ready for us to assemble as we followed along with her instructions and guidance. At that time (about 25 years ago) we didn't have the creasing board with all the grooves in it for creasing mountain and valley folds... we folded each crease with straight edge metal rulers and bone folders. It was a wonderful experience taught by a master bookbinder. Watching your vid as you explained so well all the details - as you always do - took me back to that first experience of mine. Thank you for the trip back, dear Master Natasa. Your work is beautiful, professional, and inspiring. 💐🙏🏽
With the scoring board, you need to do every other score (1") and then flip the paper over and do every other score (.5"). That will gid rid of the "traveling" effect.
I tried this method…it’s WONDERFUL…worked so well and everything was straight. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks I'll try that!
When they ask me on my deathbed what in life surprised me the most, it will definitely involve Natasha from Treasure Books and the sheer amount of things she taught us!
Haha thank you :)
I love this! ❤❤❤
After your tutorial I can not only play an accordeon, but also fold a very nice looking accordeon myself. Ha! Love the folders, any size, and will definitely makes some. 😊
The Queen of Perfect Creation strikes again! Your tutorial is beyond perfection, what I love about you is that the way you reveal what not to do on your discovery upon your experimentation on your creation that’s gives us minimal imperfections as we go along doing ours. The step by step tips & guides is very much helpful . have been watching videos to get an idea how to store documents in a book or journal form, none of it catch my interest in doing do until this creation of yours. Thank you so much Natasha for inspiring me in junk journal world!😍😍😍😍
Yay, Thank you so much :)
@raisinbren1992. Perfectly said.
My most favorite creator on RUclips! I ❤ Sundays when I see what you have created.
Thank you so much :)
8:48 so I would try scoring every inch on one side, and in between (plus the end one) on the other side. (Flip the paper over to crease in between the first creases.) The reason is that when you use the stylus to crease paper in the score board, the creases should be folded from the indent side outward. (Valleys become mountains) my mother has a degree in graphic design and taught me this when I was young because what happens to the paper fibers when smashing them, is that the valley side of the crease has been stretched more than the backside, and will fold more accurately. Your method is a great alternative. ❤
Yes, it works if you score it correctly.
Sharper scoring tools help, but need a little trial and error to not tear the paper. Rounder scoring tools really stretch the paper.
Also applying heavy weight on top of the finished accordion overnight makes them super crisp. Paper fibers are stretchy little things!
So interesting and makes such perfect sense.
I can tell, I can tell, 😂 that you are such an awesome instructor, Nastasa! I ADORE this idea of solely utilizing envelopes to create a journal. Please know that the extensive time you have spent in the trial and error phase of achieving such "perfect" results is so very much appreciated by this follower and has not gone unnoticed. ❤
Thank you so much ❤️
I am not a paper crafter…I quilt…but I think I may start after watching a couple of your videos. Such a great teacher with beautiful, creative results. Thank you!
You can use your quilting squares, rulers, mat, & rotary cutters to paper craft - the tools measure & cut paper just as well as fabric. I've never had 'paper trimmers' or rulers made for this medium... do designate one rotary cutter for paper cutting as the blade will never be suitable for fabric again. The scoreboard is the most helpful specifically-paper crafting tool, imo.
I found the main thing I had to learn was how paper behaves/handles differently from fabric; a very short learning curve for each kind of paper.
Have fun - you'll love how much you already know & can do, including making paper quilt blocks/tops for every papercrafting application (strip cutting/piecing without seam allowances - HA!).
The reason I love watching your videos not only do you show us how to do it.. you also show us how to do it properly so the outcome is perfect instead of just saying do this and it doesn't come out like yours. Thank you for all your wonderful ideas.
This is just what I need to make a recipe journal for a friend! He's an ice cream fanatic and he can store his recipes in each envelope. One for choc. fruits, vanilla, etc. I can't wait for him to see this!
Our nephew is getting married next month. I'm going to make the couple one of these books to use for honeymoon memories! One for my sister for pictures and memento from the day! Thank you for the demonstration ❤
I just LOVE your intros. I've watched almost all your videos and always forget to say how much I love the intros. I'll bet they take a lot of work as well. ❤
Thank you so much :)
I came across your channel and started watching until the end. Then I saw this one on envelope books, you are a great teacher, I can't wait to start making them. You also have a great sense of humor. Tell Arnold people are watching!! Lol
I'm so inspired, Documents, Book to hold monthly bills, Book for holding greeting cards, painting journal with watercolor paper, A way to use up all those return envelopes. Ya, I'm gonna be busy. Thank you for another amazing tutorial.
Using return envelopes is a great idea!
I love this! Thanks for making this tutorial simple enough for this elderly woman to do. I’m going to make one for making tax time easier!
Absolutely love this idea! Love that you can take a photo and create something so beautiful and functional! Thank you for sharing all your amazing talent with us.
Oh this is so wonderful Natasha thank you so much for getting all the kinks out for us. I will definitely be making this ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊
I MADE IT!!!! Thank you for being the best teacher in the world. You’re the ONLY you tube channel I watch now. I love your humor ❤
Simply incredible. Natasha has the most creative mind I have ever seen!!!
Thank you so much :)
Natasha, i just want to say that you are an awesome teacher!
Thank you so much :)
I have to try to make one of these!!!!! PLEASE don't ever stop making or delete any of your videos!!!!
Hehe thank you!
I owe you a big THANK YOU. I have been struggling a bit lately, and uninspired to create. This project was so easy and beautiful - I decided to do a quick-and -dirty version with a western theme. It turned out fine, but more importantly - it made me feel creative and lighthearted again. Thank you for what you do. It does more for us than you know. ❤
You are that expert! Thank for all your hard work and perfectionism and excellency!
So nice of you, Thank you ❤️
By far, your videos are the best videos on how to make journals
Thank you so much!
All of them are wonderful, I like it! Thank you again for this Tutorial! Every Sunday I'm waiting for you ❤❤❤
Thanks so much 😊
Love the document folder to use one envelope for each person in the family.
Everytime I watch I am blown away from your brilliancy!
Thank you so much 🤗
@@TreasureBooks You are welcome!
I am so excited to make it! so many ideas. 1. Turning the envelopes around and add pretty pockets in front. 2. Seal the envelopes and cut the side to open horizontally. 3. Using clear envelopes may be fun., creating the envelopes using lamination sheets. Thank you so much. I had so much fun watching you. You gave an awesome tutorial!
Perfection, you’re the only one that explains every detail, I love that you write it on the side also. . You never fail to amaze me.
Thank you so much :)
These are wonderful. And what a great gift for a teacher. They look so professionally done too. Thank you for your great explanation. I love your voice and your humor.
I cannot choose a favorite. I love them both! This is so timely for me because I am making a budget book where I also keep receipts for each week. So now I know how I am going to bind it all together. A million thank yous, you wonderful, excellent, gifted, creative soul! (I pray for you daily that you'll be saved because I want you to go to heaven when your time on earth is done.)
Very nice. I like the one with the added paper on the sideways envelopes. Hugs 🤗 from USA 🇺🇸
I figured my accordian folds were off because I'm not careful enough but never thought of a way to fix it, thank you for figuring it out. Your projects are so beautiful and inspiring. I love that you try for perfection but move on when it's not. ❤❤❤
You give the best instructions and I sooo appreciate the eye for detail and perfection 🫶🏼
I don't personally know you, but I love you. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and creativity...🥰🥰🥰
So nice of you, thank you
I’m so excited!! What a perfect solution for my son’s school papers for elementary! It limits the amount of things I can keep (because I need to be regulated) and gives them one place to live!! 🎉🎉🎉 and will be a cute keepsake for when he has children ☺️
Wow! What great instructions!! I have seen people use the corner of something (like a scoreboard or a kitchen cabinet top where it meets the wall, if it is a 90 degree angle) and push the paper edges up to that when making the folds, of course the correct angle is so important and it has to be tall enough for all of your folds…you’re right, difficult to explain! Love the option of a pull out book or a non-pull-out book! I personally would want to see inside the pockets and might put acetate into the envelope front to achieve that. Wonderful project!! Love to combine pockets with single pages too…why do I complicate things? 💕💕💕
Wow, Natasha! What a project!! My fave is the strawberry book! Probably because I love the paper. I was trying to tell you to call it “recipes,” but I guess you didn’t hear me! lol😂😂🤣 Awesome project!! I always learn from you! You are a great teacher!! TFS!!😍
Brilliant! I have too many envelopes, so this project is a must. Thankyou for showing this in a way I can actually understand.
Glad it was helpful!
I love these and your techniques for doing the accordion folds. My favourite is the ones with the ribbons. 🌷
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love those for my office organisation and all kinds of projects. Since I was young (a thousand years ago), I admired paper shop windows and all the lovely journals and office stuff. Now, it can be so easily achieved due to your inspiring videos. That just makes me so happy and content, since journaling means so much to me. And alone to hold those beautiful creations in my hand or/ and to work in/ with them.
I love all of those but love the Sound and view when they spread ❤.
By the way, I have an idea for you (only If you like of course) and I am quiet sure, If anybody could work something fabulous out, than you: Pop up books/ cards/ ephemera with all kind of interactive popping up and fun stuff. I would love to dive into childhood dreams...
Brilliant! My Dyslexic/ADHD Brain would never have been able to do this without you amazingly clear and easy to follow instructions!!!❤️❤️
As a historian I value ephemera , but storage can be challenging. This is the perfect way to store things upright , or flat. Great for kiddo art, important documents, project management ( wedding planner- house hunting, home improvement), and scrap paper and ribbon for junk journals and collage.
Love your channel- thank you.
I was planning to make a document book for each of my daughters to keep important papers. This is perfect! Thank you for all your practicing so we can get it right! I really appreciate your effort and your clear explanations!
Thank you so much ❤️
💥 BOOM 🎉 WOW ANOTHER FANTABULOUS IDEA!!! Natasha, you never disappoint with your step by step explanations. Your dedication to teaching us and keeping up creative makes myself and I’m sure many other crafters excited. I have so many ideas using this method for many things ! ❤
Fantastic, what a great project. Many thanks for solving the issues, that would have driven me nuts!
Glad it helped!
Absolutely loveliness Natasha you are truly an artist. The variety is excellent. 👍👍👍
I’m watching in bed…so tempted to get up and start one of these!
I me too!
Hi I loved this tutorial and thank you for sharing your frustration as well as achievements. I did a small 4 envelope journal yesterday and I embossed them and applied a layer of ink and they looked absolutely beautiful. Even my hubby complimented on them. Just thought it might be something you could spruce up the envelope with.
Oh how lovely and useful they are. I must have a go at those. Thank you so much for the tutorial. Much appreciated 😊
You’re welcome 😊 Thanks for watching :)
Those video openings are gold!! Thank you!! ❤
I love that big water fall layout !!!!
Your intros are always so epic! But then you support it with amazing creativity, paper engineering, perfection, etc. You're such a brilliant creator.
Thank you 🤗
You are a gift. I can't thank you enough. ❤❤❤
What an astonishing video! Every detail perfectly explained, what to do and what not to do. Very professionally done. Junk journals are always a bit "wild" for my taste, but using envelopes, decorated as desired, is perfect! I will definitely try this! 💐🌺🌷
Natasa! This is fabulous and I made one with you! I have been wanting a better solution to storage for current projects rather than boxes all over my desk. This will be perfect! Thank you so much! You are brilliant!!
Love this project ❤❤❤ my favorite is the pull out version but both are beautiful…thank you for shouldering all the frustration for me…😂❤
i just can't stop watching your videos 😄✂✉
I watch you on my TV and comment from my phone. I love ALL your tutorials and have made a few with my housekeeper's daughter. Thanks!
Thank you, just the project I needed. My son had asked me to make him something to hold receipts for him from his job. I have been waiting for some sort of inspiration to hit when I saw this video I knew this was the one!❤
Natasha, you are absolutely brilliant! All your projects are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your creativity! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
I wait for your videos aaa-aall weeeee-eek lo0000-00ng. Thanks a lot for showing at the end ways to use the books and reasons for choosing openings (ease-of-access for ‘current projects’ books vs security-of-closure for ‘memories’ books). I was in shock when you showed the discrepancy of folding after scoring on a professional board. Wow. I always blamed my own clumsiness for such discrepancies, but you cured me. This is not me! Your demonstration was just perfect, not confusing at all. And I am excited, will make a couple of such books for sure!
It wasn't us, it was the scoreboard! Lol. Or at least the technique. Thank goodness for Natasha's clear instructions. At last I can achieve something with concertina folding.
The construction reminds me of old compact photo albums. You could even alternate between clear plastic pockets and envelopes, to display some of the contents. This would be such a pretty way to display one's prints for sale at an artist alley! As always, thank you for the tutorial and for the inspiration.
Just love everything you do and then you always having time to teach and explain.
Thank you so much :)
Thank you for your accordion spin technique. Now I better understand how mine were coming out so wonky. The envelop journals are useful format. Love them. 👏👏👏😎
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, I’m just watching this video now! How did I miss it. Anyways. Yes thank you for the non score board part. And simply just fold it. I love the different binding ways. Beautiful ribbon! I’m gonna dig through my stash and find some envelopes now! I have cereal boxes for the covers. Double it together. Thank you for all your hard work on this project! Much appreciated!!😊❤️
Love the strawberry book!! All of these are fabulous! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
I wasn't even 7 seconds into the video and I was amazed at your creations. The accordion slide on the one journal was phenomenal. You can take the mundane and create real treasures.
Thank you so much :)
Beautiful work. My favorite is the strawberry design. Thank you for sharing your projects with us!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so very much for all your trial, error and frustration!! It's absolutely appreciated!! Hugs!
Thank you ❤️
I’m so glad that you can work through your frustrations and still be able to show the rest of us how not to make the same errors!
As usual...Wonderful ideas coming from an even better teacher!❤👍👍
Thank you for your attention to detail and how to achieve success with the details- I find it’s these little aspects of book making and art that make all the difference to a finished work. I really appreciate this facet of your presentations.
Perfect timing! I’ve been entertaining the idea of making the greeting cards from my kids into a book, but had no idea how to make that work. Tada!! An accordion book and now I even know how to finally fold one to perfection! Thank you for sharing your secrets!
Wonderful!
Yet another fabulous teaching video from you Natasa with an equally fabulous result! I particularly liked the books where you have covered parts of the envelopes and added pockets. Perfection 😂
This project made me say 'WOW' outloud, alone. Each of these are fantastic and beautifully made. Thank you!
Thank you so much :)
Im a beginner ut you made this tutorial so easy it turmed out just like yours.I even made my own envelopes. Im so happy. Thank you for your sharing and thank you for just giving great tutorials that make crafting easy..
Oh my goodness...just what I've been looking for. A book of pockets. There's so much I can store in them and it'll help organize and tidy up my desks and shelves etc. You are absolutely brilliant!!!
Wonderful! Thanks for watching.
Oh my Goodness!!!!!!😮😮😮 these are magnificent!!!! Gorgeous!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💥
Thank you so much :)
What a fantastic idea,u never cease to amaze me with ur ideas n creations,u truly are the Queen of journelling,i just luv everything u do n luv watching n listening cos ur just so funny n make me laugh n that makes me happy,thank u once again for taking time to do these videos for us i luv them ❤❤❤❤
I love all of them. I could not decide which one I want to make. Thank you for showing us this. I love your videos.💕
Thanks so much 😊
I watch your video over and over again I haven’t made one yet but I plan too admire your talent
A
Thank you for sharing your talents with us! I am very grateful for happening onto your channel!
Thank you so much :)
I love this idea ! It’s super cool ! You are such a talented artist! My favorite it’s the “document “ one … Truly amazing ❤️
Idea : Use a slip of paper or a straw to add some even slack to the ribbons and remove it once ribbons are secure.
Love it, I bought an envelope book once in a Japanese bookstore and I love it, it's only too small. Now I know how to make more ! (Mine is a window envelope so I can see what's stored in)
You’re so funny and wonderfully clever! Thank you for educating and entertaining. You’re always an inspiration! ❤️
Thank you so much!
Absolutely love them all!!! 💜💜💜
I almost thought twice about watching, as I've watched your videos on envelope journals in the past, and soooo glad I didn't pass on this one, they're just amazing 🥰😊
The pup and I will be babysitting my brother's dogs next week, so this will be on my project list to try, thanks for a great tutorial, it's always fun to watch your videos, cuz yes, you make me laugh, you've got a great sense of humor 🤭
I think I’m going to make one for my friend who needs a baby gift - I can totally see envelopes that are long to store cards, pictures etc… as well as maybe attach a sewn booklet inside or on the outside of one of them for writing about the baby etc…. Any way I love - love - love - this idea! Thank you so much for such great instruction - you’re the best!!!😘
I’m so glad, thank you. Have fun making your project!
You're amazing, these are superb. My favourite is the last one with cherry cardstock. I'm about to make a travel journal, so the smaller one will be ideal. You're always coming up with new ideas, and it makes you a great go-to artist. I love your recent video making bags etc from ironed plastic bags. I've been saving plastic bags to do this, and will make a lovely little wallet to put in the travel journal. My problem is actually starting projects. I have M. E and tend to procrastinate, which is my own enemy LOL!!! But you give me such optimism and drive. You have a lovely positive disposition, and it rubs off. Thank you for all that you do - you're amazing. xx❤❤❤😊😊
Thank you! I really appreciate your detailed explanations and instructions! Awesome!!
I'm so glad you found it helpful! 😊
I love the large document book. Perfect to leave as a "in case I go missing or die" file
LOL.
Awesome video, Natasha. Thanks for doing all the hard work for us. These are all so cool. I love how they lay flat.
You are also entertaining. Even if you were making something I wasn't interested in (that has never happened) I would still watch your videos. You are funny but are also a great teacher.
As always TFS with us.❤
Thank you so much!
Este es un sencillo gran trabajo, lo copio para hacer unos contenedores de documentos. Muchas gracias por el tutorial. Eres una magnífica profesora.❤❤❤
Thank you so much ❤️
I love how your weekly video ALWAYS makes my Sunday mornings ❤ You’re pretty much my favorite creativity class on (what I have been calling) RUclips University 👩🏾🎓
I’ve been having perfect attendance for this class. 💯 😂
Haha I love it! thank you
