    I started out years ago not able to make journals and now I can. The best thing is they don’t cost a lot of money, only some imagination and glue. I feel like I’m making a difference, adding beauty, less waste. Thank you!

    I lead a craft class at our community senior center each month. I've been wanting to make a journal but it needed to be a one class project. THIS is perfect for that! I can pre-cut the folders and have the embellishments ready to save a few more minutes. Once they discover journal making and fall in love with it like the rest of us, we'll set up an alternate craft class just for journals. :-) Thanks for the inspiration!

    I made match covers in different sizes years ago. Thank you for kicking the rust off of this technic. Yours are definitely easier & more handsome for sure. 👍 No surprise at all. I continue to appreciate how you teach us; looking forward to each of your videos! 🥰

    In the past I've made some tiny matchbooks to use as little note pads for my pocketbook, but you've inspired me to make larger ones for greeting cards. I don't make journals, but so many of your creations are perfect for cards. Thanks!

  • @StudioTinidril
    @StudioTinidril ปีที่แล้ว +9

    So. Many. Ideas. You always have a million and one ideas, and they're great ones! I love the matchbook format for making small collections of scraps, but these larger sizes are way cool! Now I need to make some "journal companions", too! 🐱(my journals need pets!)

  • @EstherLTurner
    @EstherLTurner ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I love, love, love when you come up with ideas that don't take long. ( I love the other ones, too.) Sometimes I only have a short window in which to craft, but want a complete project when I'm done and this fits the bill beautifully.

    I love to add matchbooks to every journal. These are a definite new addition especially when I don’t have a lot of writing space. Thank you so very much Natasha 🎀

  • @trinafry1052
    @trinafry1052 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Super good idea! I've made some mini matchbooks but love the idea of a notebook size one. File folders usually have extra fold lines in the middle you could use for a spine to make a thicker one.

    I sure wish I saw this video before I tackled a very large 11” tall by 9” wide artist journal matchbook style, I really struggled with the bottom flap but ended up using hidden magnets and it actually turned out great. My son in law loves it.

    Such a cute idea! So many different ways you could go with this...Thanks for another fun idea! And, by the way...I love when you "go rogue " like you did for the smaller one...I find it very inspiring to see your creative mind in action! Have a great day Natasa. Hugs!

    I’m leading crafts next month at church and I’m using this idea to make scrapbooks. I have all the goodies to go inside. I’m going to teach them how to make a side pocket out of jumbo sized playing cards too. I’m so excited! Thank you for the idea!

    This project was very gratifying to complete. Since I'm in education, I have lots of old file folders about and this is a creative solution to turn them into something beautiful! I made three of them today. :)

  • @londongael414
    @londongael414 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I hit the like button before watching, which I rarely do for anyone - and I was not wrong! Something about the large size makes these very attractive. It's just as quick to make a large thing as a small thing, so why not? These would be great for a specific purpose, eg notes from a one-day training course or workshop. The unfussy closure makes it perfect for out and about. Just stick a large pocket on the back for handouts, and with that simple but beautiful cover idea, you'd be the envy of your colleagues! I see what you mean about the tabbed dividers, but maybe waterfall pages would work? As usual, you've set the ideas going! 💗💗💗

  • @wendywilson1736
    @wendywilson1736 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ahhh, an idea to straighten up the pile of cut offs from cutting squares for the envelope punch board. I keep them in a bin, but hate the cluttered look they present. I have junkmail envelopes galore, brads, scrap strips of cardstock, and other stuff to decorate our grocery list paper pads. I could get totally carried away with this little project. ☺️ Thank you!!

  • @kimberleyclayton6875

    Thanks for the reminder! I like to make matchbook notebooks for my kid's club at church. I think I will do this for Easter. I haven't done them in a bit.
    Also, I make them with a consumable option. I use an edge punch that makes the anchored side of the pages perforated, then they can be torn out. The kids love that.

  • @TubeYouLena
    @TubeYouLena ปีที่แล้ว

    So cute! So satisfying -- 15 min & you have an eye candy & something useful. But hey, at 5:00 I, was surprised when you said the back with the brads being visible does not bother you… For me it is a natural opportunity to decorate & permanently secure. The only time I would not bother is when I want the brads to be temporary décor in a storage book (removable to be used in other projects). I will make a lot of those with my scraps for just taking quick notes during meetings. My personal enigma: store-bough notebooks do not entice me to take notes, I tend to keep them for something important and end up no not use them at all 😊.

  • @rachellee.9389
    @rachellee.9389 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'll bet those tabbed matchbook covers could be used to store off-cuts and other unused ephemera in each journal for the recipient. No scraps for you that way! Great idea, as usual, Natasa.

    Happy Greetings, Natasa!!!!! Oh My Stars!! You've Outdone Yourself, AGAIN!!!!
    honestly, its mind boggling how you have such an uncanny plethora of magically creative GOODIES to come up with every week!!! I'm really in love with this one! I've made smaller one or two. Way more complicated than they needed to be and I didn't really like them as much. Now that I screen what you have done I went in and started the process of making a couple prototypes!! Its taken me a while to acquire needed supplies over the years. Mostly on the cheap and hoarding, not knowing what the neck to do with it all lol!! THEN???,,,, I FOUND 💗YOU💗😇🙏 💚GOD BLESS YOUR KIND AND CREATIVE SOUL!!! MUCH RESPECT, Mindi in Iowa🌽🌳U.S.

    The file card matchbooks with the ephemera pieces would be cool to pair with a journal you’re giving away or selling, so they could add their own personal touches during journaling.
