- Hi everyone, today I am making an Ephemera Holder. I was inspired by "Le Cafe Crafts" on youtube
her link will be in my link tree. I hope this will help someone get organized with all your ephemera pieces.

❤❤❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 thank you for sharing this idea. Very interesting and helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching…🤗
I think maybe the parchment paper i bought at Dollar store would work. It is Fairley clear, much more economical than vellum. I love this idea. Thank you
Yes, it might and less expensive! Thanks for watching 🤗
Thank you Rita for mentioning Le Cafe Craft 🙏❣️❣️… we can all agree it is a “sticky “ project !😳😂😂
I accomplished it, but it dosn't look as nice as yours. Thank you for watching🙂
WOW
Thanks! 🤗
Brilliant
Thank you! It's the only ephemera holder I continue to use every day! 🤗
I love this! I love the idea of the packing tape on the sides of the pages, too. Maybe you could reinforce the bottoms of the pockets with the packing tape, also, by starting with the top pocket, add the tape, add the 2nd pocket down, add the tape, add the 3rd pocket down, add the tape and then wrap it to the other side of the page. That would help to reinforce the bottoms of the pockets, as well. I just made a storage system similar, but with acetate pocets, and they are coming up, so i am going to redo it with the packing tape. Thanks so much for the idea!!
Thank you. This idea came from @lecafecrafts. You might want to check her out too, for ideas! 🤗
Love this!!!!!!!
Thank you! I am still using it daily…🤗
I’ve made several of these that also split on the top too. I sewed mine in. I like the idea of the home made washi at the top to stop it . Might give it another go now 👍🌸
I thought about sewing, maybe using fabric for the hinges. I just hope it helps, haven't had time to fill it up just. 😁
Rita I’m happy to hear that you’re healing and doing what you love, nice job.
Yes, Dr’s appointment was this morning, and all is great. I appreciate your concern 🥰
Great ephemera holder! I love the idea!
Thank you! Use it every day! 🤗
Thank you for the tutorial
You’re welcome 😊 Thank you for watching!
Love the idea and this video is not at confusing it was very straightforward. Thanks again.😊
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching🎄😊🎄
Use a ring binder in place of a book cover would be good ... One for each ephemera. Thank you for this method.
Thank you for watching, I love using this book for my ephemera! 🥰
Beautiful work!!!! Pretty different, I like it and thank you for share it. Blessings
Thank you so much! For watching my channel hope to hear more from you! 🤗
Just finished watching this video (it’s nearly 1 o’clock in the morning), and I have ordered some vellum sheet. I have the perfect book for this, and I cannot wait to make one of my own.
I found folding the top of the vellum about a 1/4”. You don't need to put washi on edge.🙂
@@ritajensen8311 Thanks. That’s a good tip, although I think the washi tape makes the edge easier to see.
See through…genius! Thx for your great ideas!
Yes, I love this folder...if you make one be sure you secure the vellum well. I used clear packing tape! 💖
I'm sure the book will be bowed when it's filled with things. Looks really cool!
I don't know if it will or not, hoping it will have enough room to expand...just have wait and see. 😁
You’re a busy bee, love it.
This is awesome Rita. I love your homemade washi tape on the top of every vellum. That side pocket is such a genius idea, haven’t seen that in the ephemera holders. That’s a really great tip. Thank you.
Glad you’re recovering well, and thank you for your time to do videos. You are appreciated! I enjoy watching all your videos.
Thank you so much. I hope that it will help keep me organized...Also, I will be able to make changes in the next ones I make.
Boy that's complicated you did good girl. Thanks
It really is worth it! It's probably the best ephemera folder I have found. 🤗🤗🤗
I need to make one. So glad I found you
Thank you, Nancy I love mine! Use it all the time! 💐💕💐
Hi Rita. Great ephemera book. Thanks. 🥰💖
I am so glad I made this it's working very well for me. 🙂
Yes, I want to make one of these!❤
Wow, that's a old video! I love mine I only fill it with the things I need for one or two journals. 💐
Can make a whole book this way kewl...I gonna integrate this into my plans what making...lol...great...
I think you could easily make the book larger! 🤔
It's fabulous 👍
I did watch your autumn one but I was busy crafting to comment, I'm loving the tone of it 😍
Thank you, I have been watching you too!!! Love the kit with the blue paper from College Type💙
@@ritajensen8311 I'm trying to do as much fall as possible. I've loads of stuff still to use up.
How did your check up go!?
It was great, the hole has already closed, except for a small area...seeing better every day 👁 thanks so much for asking! I just watched your trailer on TH-cam, and I didn't know what that was for sure. I totally understand the fibromyalgia. My friend suffers from it too. I also have mild fibro, and sometimes it just hurts to wear clothes. 🥺
Hello Rita! I just came across your channel. I'm Kay Michele with Lady Dragonfly Designs, nice to meet you.♥Great video! Oh I love Le Cafe Crafts, she is so inspiring! TFS Much Love From Texas!!💕💕
Thanks and welcome to my channel! Yes, I enjoy Le Cafe, I wish she would do more videos! 😁
This would be a good book to do the tab binding 😊
Yes, I think it would! I will have to revisit the process and give it a try. 🙂
I've done a similar but used vellum and wasn't happy with how it didn't stay stuck on the sides. Will use the folder pieces from now on. Thanks!
Yes, the last one I made was with vellum, but I thought it would hold up because of the strong tape. Mostly I like looking at all the ephemera without turning page after page. 😁
Great video! This is definitely on my to do list! 💕
Thanks, Mary. I hope it will work out for me. I think next time, I will put the pockets on after making the book.🙂
I love the fact that you have a double reinforced edge due to your folded over washi tape. Might a self-fold gusset give the space needed to remove the contents easier? Even if one added additional washi tape along the entire edge, (gusset included), it still would keep the integrity of strength needed for the top. TFS!
Thanks for the suggestions. If I make another one, I like the idea of gussets! So far, it’s held up for several months. Thanks for watching🙂
Yes that looks similar to one I'm making ...but I made a huge fold up folder from collaging full pages of old mail together a few layers ...now I gotta make tons pockets across it all ...three sides when open and then I can do elastic string across all to hold extra stuff...ii tried photo albums etc etc but this be faster n lighter weight and hold tons be easy access...lol...
Yes, Kelly I love mine I have a couple that I use for odds and ends, and the other for my current projects! 🙂
I made a similar one awhile ago, but used cellotape along the bottom of the pockets. NOT a good idea, stuff slips down and gets stuck in the tape. Also found if you don't glue the sides stuff falls out all the time. Basic idea is fantastic though, and works super well. I need to make another one.
Yes, the first couple I made did not hold up, and then I found I wanted to change the size of the pockets to work for me! 🙂
❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching! 🤗
Thank you for the tips. Very helpful . May i share an idea? Where the washi tape is covered with the packing tape, and it took up too much space, take your razor and carefully cut the tape in half.
Thank you for your tip! That's exactly what I did at a later time. Thanks for watching! 🤗
Hi Rita! Thanks so much for a fun interpretation of one of Patricia’s ideas: I love it, a never-ending ephemera holder! I wondered if you use the kraft paper tape first & then added the vellum strips, if that would work well? You’d get more “real estate” on each row & it may lay flatter that way? I’ve watched Rachel (Roxy’s Creations) use more of it recently & it’s a nice look! I bought some of that tape recently, but haven’t used it yet, so I don’t know how easy it is to work with. Thanks so much for a wonderful video, I have “liked” & subscribed! Hope to see you again soon! Erica❤
I do have that tape now, but not when I made that video., I will give it a try next time! Thank you so much for subscribing and watching my channel🥰
Great project! Can you please link that tape?
Here is the link! I have a Amazon Storefront in my description🙂 Thanks for watching 🤗 www.amazon.com/shop/ritajensen/list/266KQ3T06ET78?ref_=cm_sw_r_ud_aipsflist_aipsfritajensen_H3MN3Y40MYAJ8MSCK87E
Completely pointless to destroy a book to make this craft. Simple scrap material would have sufficed: 2 pieces of cardboard, 2 pieces of thin foam or quilt batting, 2 scrap cloths or wallpaper or drawer paper, 2 pieces of scrapbook paper, and glue to bind it all would have done the same thing.
My Mother raised me to respect and honor books...to never write on or dogear pages, to never break their spines by leaving them open facedown, to never cut them, and to never lend a book to a friend, but rather gift it instead (for a lent book never returned bites upon a friendship).
She taught me the joy of reading, and the salvation of reading in dark times, and how a book can teach you anything and everything you ever need or want to know or learn as a human. A book can inspire, heal, and certainly they can save your life. The Good Book is the greatest gift from God.
My Mother is long dead, but books keep her with me, and I teach my daughters the same and explain to them how I am forever grateful for this gift she taught me.
Your craft is beautiful, and ironically sad that you probably learned much of your art from books, or from others who learned from books. Yet your disrespect of that book is simply unworthy of you.
Such a shame.
For the curious:
The book destroyed here is titled "Hand Lettering for Crafts" by Sandra Salamony, Rockport, 2001, ISBN: 1610594207
How do I know? I learned video and photo investigation and internet researching techniques from a couple of books I once read...All it took was her flipping to a part of one page in that mutilated book for me to research and track it down.
Anything can be learned from a book. So treat them well...
I wish I would have seen this before I made my flimsy cracker box ephemera holder. I put so much work into it, I’m stuck with it. This was very satisfying to watch….. missing & thinking of you ❤️🧡🤎💛
Hi, Candace I think ephemera holders are hard to find the best one for yourself. I keep trying. I have pretty much gone back to a box. I will share this in an upcoming video. I think I will have a video up Tuesday 🤗🤗🤗
@@ritajensen8311 good to hear from you!! Me and Rosie missed you!!
Sorry to critique your video but you ended up confusing me. I get the concept. Thanks for sharing.
It confused me too! Now I realize I had the camera set to mirror the image and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong! 😬
