Thank you so much for doing this Melina, it’s very interesting for us that are just starting out with journaling and you explained everything so well 😊❤xxx
Melina, l need to express to you the tutorial you documented. Your voice is beautiful, your instructions are accurate.and you are a pleasure to listen to.
Melina, thank you for the step by step process of a beginner journal. Yes, indeed would like to see the decorating from start to finish. Perhaps you could also show beginners how to advance from this level to the next. I'm joining the others with excitement of junk journal making 101!
Thank you so much Melina for showing me how easy it is to make a junk journal in easy step by step. I really want to make some and give as gifts or start my own business.thanks again...❤
Till I saw this episode I didn’t think I could make a journal, I feel confident now. Thanks. Loving all your videos, you’ll be keeping me busy. Heading to my craft room now.
This was very simple and easy. I was getting overwhelmed with completing my first journal after watching too many videos. Lots of Love, Light and Laughter Forever!
Melina, thank you so much for sharing and showing the basics of junk Journaling. You explained every step so well. I look forward to watching all of your videos.❤
Hi, I know this tutorial was put up a long time ago but I'm quite new to crafting and I love and need these easy step by step tutorials to help me. So thank you for sharing ❤️
Melina, I sat and watched this video this morning, and finally worked up the courage to stitch together pages for my first ever journal. My sense of accomplishment is huge. I have made lots to go into a journal, but never had the confidence to stitch one together. Thank you for such a wonderful video.
You can file down one end of a large paper clip - the very large ones. I use mine to poke holes in everything including making holes in the tops of water bottles so that I can water indoor plants etc
I really enjoyed watching your beginner journal video. I have made a few soft and hard journals but still try to gain inspiration(which your video has.) Sometimes it great to see how going back to basics of journal making can reignite my creativity and enjoy the process of creating something personal & unique. I truly enjoy your videos and your creativity. 🇨🇦😊✌️
I found your channel through Miss Edith, and so glad I did! This tutorial is one of the best beginner tutorial’s I’ve watched. Thank you for taking your time and explaining each step. I’ve made a couple, but ready to start a new one now!! 💕👍💐
Great tutorial. I have only made one journal & it was fun & satisfying. I love to watch the videos but get overwhelmed by all the things to make & use. The one I made has a cover made from a 5 lb. sugar bag. Makes a satisfying crinkle sound. You have inspired me to try another one. Thanks!
Melina -- This was perfect. I've gotten this far. But, my next one will be different. I learned a couple things today, on top of what I thought I knew and what I did, I'm still pleased. My problem is, I don't know how to start? I get journal cards, pockets, tags, etc., but how many, where do they go? I'm seriously missing this part. TIA
I’m new to this and it was recommended that I watch your videos to learn how to get started. I’m glad you were recommended and you make it look like so much fun. I can’t wait to get started.
@@MelinaPylant I just wanted to update you on my coffee-died papers. I did your same method but splattered some paint on them. I laid my papers on the counter on foil and want back around my edges of the pages with coffee that gave me the ink-effect on the edges. I had so much fun with this and next I’m going to do the food coloring pages. Thank you again for the tutorial.
My first time here. Finally this seems attainable. I have been watching videos for days. Thank you and God bless. I didn't think I could do it. I now have hope.
I was saying “No! Don’t trim the ragged edges!!!” Ha ha. I like them too. Great episode. I e been making other things and needed this again, but also easy/thorough version. Thanks.
When the difference is that tiny, usually just putting the wider pages on the outside "soaks up" that difference and they are even. But also- don't cut it, its more fun all textured. 😄
That's the biggest paper clip I have seen in my life. Love ur vintage looking paper bag. Thank you for uploading this video. Appericate your effort. Thanks.
Absolutely love, love, love this! I was watching other "junk" journals and art journals and they seemed cluttered and disorganized. I like to be analytical about my organizational projects. You have inspired me.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I have been wanting to make a junk journal but was intimidated about how I would make the cover. You make it look so simple so again thank you!
Thank you so much for making this video. I have been wanting to start junk journaling, but didn’t know where to start. It was nice that you explained in detail and spoke slowly. I’m so excited to get started. Thank you again for these videos. 😀
Thank you so much for this beginner tutorial. I echo your sentiments in that not many others post this type of TH-cam video. I found your video instrumental in the starting process for me ❤
Your video/explanation was simple and easy to listen to. I particularly love your soothing slow speaking voice. Is easy to follow and there are no mumbled words.
Thank you for making this video. I’m totally new to this and I was so overwhelmed watching all these videos on TH-cam. This is the easiest and by the far best video I have seen. So easy to follow your directions.
Tank you so much!!!!!!! This is by far the best beginner video I've seen!!! I decided to start this gorgeous crafting journey in 2023! Cant wait to start! :)
Thank you very much 4 takin your time for us newbies i appretiate it ive made the covers and could nt bring myself to make a signiture.i will for sure try it.And Mrs.E is amazing and so are you.Thank You,God Bless You&Yours.
The best and easiest video to follow for the beginner like me! Thank you! You have made it less intimidating and more enjoyable for me to actually want to give it a try!
Thank you for sharing. I think junk journals should be made from junk not designer look like junk. The reson for junk art of any form I think is to use and repurpose the earths resources using creativity and imagination that costs very little and is confidence building. This is why I think junk art and multi media are the absolute best. ❤
I just started to get papers and bits for Journaling and by far your videos are the best... now for ideas on what to put into a junk journal thanks for the video
Oh gosh Meina! This was so helpful for me. I'm just beginning to begin junk journaling and willl certainly put this idea to use soon. Before watching this video, I had no idea how to put all the pages together in a book! Thank you for this helpful step by step tutorial! Ellespeth ♥
Great tutorial on making a journal for beginners!! Well explained and enjoyable to watch you. Thank you for this video and yes would love to see it decorated ❤
I have never made a junk journal but have been so mesmerized by them lately. Watching you and your mom make all the clusters and hidden paperclips, and pocket tags etc I have been craving to try but was intimidated. Ya'll have so many pretty paper scraps to use I get a little anxious. This is a fantastic video, thanks for sharing and such great instructions. Love the center lace!! Gotta save this video so i don't have to search for it! Big hugs!!!
Melina. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been looking for the simplest way to make a journal. I've made some already, but this is surely one of the best tutorials wonderfully explained in detail. Thank you.😊
This was very helpful. I just watched it for the third time and did my first journal. Do you have a beginners guide to decorating the inside of this one or any other one that have shared?
This is my idea journal that I add things to constantly. I have a beginners playlist for inquires like these….lots and lots of ideas there. th-cam.com/play/PLaYCC1TtZXXelNXJVmXIg6Uw18IkoRSnn.html&si=Iw6fzj0e7m-SZlgH
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this tutorial. Question is can you do several of these and put them together in a hard back junk journal? Please help, &Thank you 💜
Yes, absolutely! This is essentially a signature for a journal. So as long as you don’t add to much card stock to each, they will fit perfectly in a hard bound journal.
I HAVE THAT SSAAAM EE PUNCH! One of the First few things (of tools) that I bought when I decided to get serious about craftin . Idle hands get into the Devils work!
