I love using journals. I’ve filled so many with art and words and scribbles over the years, but there’s something special about making your own. In this video, I’ll be sharing my top tips for making your own journals, from materials and papers to a couple of my favourite easy binding methods - even if you don’t like sewing. So if you’re a beginner, you’ll have a journal you can fill with your own creations!

  • Hi this is the first journal tutorial I've watched so far that didn't include loads of “necessary tools and equipment”, great to know you only need scissors, glue and a small paper cutter to get going, thanks for sharing your craft.

  • Thank you for sharing, I started to dabble with junk journaling when I received a challenge to make a small journal out of nothing but trash. It was right after Christmas so I had loads of beautiful wrapping paper and theres always the endless recycling pile. I had a blast and now I want to get back to it and Im having trouble getting started to thank you for sharing

  • In creating a journal, I have become a paper hoarder. That's right. I cannot pass up an opportunity to look at any paper I might find at work, a thrift store, friends house. It's ecomean addiction. Occasionally, I go through them and donate a box to a thrift store.❤
