    Discovered this tutorial in perfect timing for the family history journal I'm making for twin 16 y/o granddaughters.
    Each page is a pocket and those mini albums will make perfect inserts.
    Thanks Nik for a brilliant, easy to follow tutorial and for keeping things real ... those 'safe places' haunt my home to lol👍 😍

    Oooh Nik, you have just saved my bacon with that awesome little notebook idea! I have a craft event coming up in November and have been asked to sell some JJs but I haven't got time to make a whole heap of normal sized ones! Those little notebooks would be a great way to make mini ones in a short space of time too :D

    Thank you for sharing these great ideas! I’m really excited to see your new journals and the new book course that you are working on. I’m a few days from being ready to take a course, but by next week - I will begin. Have fun at the Expo. I would love to see a video of the show and a haul video. Goodness, could I be any more greedy? And, I couldn’t find Johny Oodle bars😞, so I settled for Snickers. 😊.

  • @charlotteragan6583
    @charlotteragan6583 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You could use some packaging clear sheets to make a template, so they could see what they were cutting out. I love this idea for a craft fair, or Fall Festival in the school. I enjoy playing with you on your new things. You always have such good ideas.

    Thanks, Nik, for the great tutorial! These are some really cute folders - I'm thinking of making these for family members for Christmas, in addition to craft fairs, etc. Aaaaaand I have a question about the sewing needle packet you used. It's ingenious and also looks pretty - is it something you made? If so, I'd love to see a tutorial on how to make a sewing needle holder - yes, I'm greedy - teach me more! LOL!
