These turned out GREAT! I've made them like this but did not think to use fabric!!!!! Super idea!
Aww thanks Betty! Not a new idea; I think many of us have been making them like this for some time, but it's something I always come back to. I just love the look and feel of fabric on paper, and they turn out so cute! 😊💚
These are gorgeous and a fun project
Thanks Faye! No time to do anything meaty like a journal, so I have just been chopping and gluing and a bit of sewing. Nice easy stuff that I can stop and start working on without losing where I am up to lol 😊💚
I like your way! I hate measuring so great to see you just fold and stick. Inspirational.
Hehe thanks Margaret; I really hate measuring too lol. I don't even make a template for poking the holes in the spine and signatures when making a journal. I just guesstimate, and funnily enough, the holes always line up pretty straight! 😄💚
Bonny And Clive I don’t measure hole either!
Yay I love that you don't measure for the holes either!; I thought I was the only one lol. I see so many channels trying so hard to measure the holes so that they perfectly line up, and sometimes I really want to remind them that they are junk journals and aren't meant to be perfect! lol 😄💚
I love love love these envelopes. And I love watching your TH-cam channel because you make something out of whatever you have. And Heaven Knows being a quilter I have tons of fabric and being a junk journaler I have a whole bunch of book pages. I also have a sewing machine so I am going to make me some of these beauties. Thank you so much
Thank you so much Judie! I love getting comments on older videos; it kind of acts like a reminder for me to make some more lol. Oh, being a quilter I bet you have sooooo many scraps! I use old clothing for fabric so I always end up with weird shaped scraps, seams, etc and I love the challenge of using it all up lol. I save all the buttons, zips, hooks etc aswell and come up with projects to use them aswell. There is a picture I posted yesterday on my TH-cam Community tab/page that I think you'll appreciate lol 😂💚
These are fabulous! Thank you for the tutorial.
Thank you Cheryl! So happy you like them. I think the florals look so pretty in jourmals, and they make cute little gift card holders too 😊💚💜
These are so cute xx
Thanks Kerry-Ann! Hehe I think they are cute too. With the pretty floral fabrics, I don't think they even need any embellishing as they are cute just how they are 😊💚
These are so pretty Bonny. Thanks for the tutorial. Xx
Thanks Gio! They're so easy to make but they are a little time consuming with all the gluing and chopping! Happy to be able to get rid of some of those never ending book pages though lol
Wow so beautiful great 😍lovely way of doing it more easy. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Christine! Yup, I like things to be nice and easy lol 😄💚
They are beautiful 💜
Thanks Annette! I think fabric and paper definitely go together! lol. They always turn out so cute 😊💚
Ohhhh how pretty!!! These are adorable!!
Hugs Marsha
Thanks Marsha! My goodness, the book pages never end! I need to do some more book page projects lol 😄💚
I think these are very very cute and you have inspired me to do them too but because I don't use a sewing machine I will find another way to make them!! Tfs👏👏👏👏
Thanks Evi! So happy that you are going to make some! I think they are a good way to use up some of those never ending book pages and scrap fabric, and they always turn out so cute! 😊💚
Very pretty Bonnie. Tyfs. Sue💜
Oh hi hi Sue! Hope you have been well! Haven't had a chance to stop by and see what you have been up to lately! Hope all is well and you are getting lots of crafty stuff done! 😊💚
Simplemente hermosossssssssss!!😆😆😆😆
Hehe I had to good translate that lol. It came up with 'simply beautiful'. Thank you so much! I really love how they turned out and they are so handy to use in happy mails, junk journals and even as little gift envelopes when giving money or gift vouchers. Plus we get to use up some of that never ending scrap fabric and book pages lol 😄💜💙
@@BonnyAndClive OHHH SORRY beautifullllllll... beautifulllllll...jijiji DO.noT speak ENGLES..i love them!! TANKS.
Hehe thank you. I'm so happy you like them! 😊💚
They are so cute 🙂
Thank you so much Jannie! I really love the look and feel of fabric on paper 😊💚
These are so pretty x
Thank you so much Julia! I really love how they turned out 😊💚
These are absolutely fabulous, Bonny! I hope they sold well! I’m an old quilter, started in 1986! But haven’t quilted much since my divorce & move back to Kansas in 2004. So I have a huge collection to choose from! 🥰🤗I will have to push junk out of the way, but if I’m motivated that won’t be a problem! Haha! I recently bought some cotton fabric at Walmart (those of us who really aren’t too crazy about shopping there call it Wally’s World! I suspect you would be in that category!) But I bought it to use as half pockets on larger journal cards, etc. Then thought of some other thing to be entranced with & they got pushed aside…story of my life!! Another woman said she thought she had “journaler’s ADHD”, yep that’s me! I don’t think it’s all that uncommon among crafters, though! I’m enjoying your channel soooo much, you are just so much fun & I love your accent! In one video you said you lived in Sidney, are there different accents around the country? I mean you’re a continent! England is just one little bitty country & yet practically everybody I watch has a different accent! It’s really interesting to me how that happens. Are your eyes better now? I hope so! Take good care! Erica❤
I am so happy you're enjoying my channel Erica! I wish I had more time to video. Hopefully this year I will find some more time! Oh quilters have the best fabric scraps! I mostly use old clothing or linens for fabric lol. I do have some 'real' fabric from my grandmother.. She was a great seamstress, knitter, crocheter etc. These little envelopes are great also for gift cards or giving money to nieces and nephews etc lol. Yes, I am in Sydney, Australia. We do have slight differences in accents between states, especially those that live in rural areas tend to have a thicker Aussie accent. We use alot of slang and Aussie 'lingo' so sometimes that's what makes us difficult to understand lol. For example, instead of saying "this afternoon", we would say "this arvo" lol. 😂💚
@@BonnyAndClive yeah, I wouldn’t have any idea what that meant!
I did have a giggle when I was watching one of your videos, can’t remember which one, but you were using a brown & white knit fabric that you said was an ugly dress that had been your grandmothers! She’s laughing from heaven!❤️
Hahaha I do love those ugly flowery and strange patterned granny dresses lol. The dress as a whole looks ugly, but once it's cut down into smaller pieces, the patterns look so cool and funky. Our local charity store used to have a $1 rack and I loved picking up the ugly granny dresses off that rack. Not only do they have those funky patterns, but they also have those big beautiful vintage buttons on them! 😄💚
@@BonnyAndClive I’ll bet there’s a lot for you to choose from, since your reasons are so different from someone wanting something to wear!! 😂 ❤️
These are great thanks for sharing 🥰
Thanks Pam! Not much time for crafting at the moment so I've happy to just do some simple gluing and sewing lol. I ended up making some fabric pages aswell, as I think they would look lovely in journals too 😊💚
You're my favorite Aussie TH-camr!
Awww thank you Christie, that is so sweet! I have never been anyones favourite anything before hehe 😊💚
Love this idea, i just went and made a whole lot.
Thank you Dayla! So happy you like them and also made some! I think they are also great to use when giving gift cards or cash as gifts. Also a fun way to use an old favourite piece of clothing and keep as a memento in your journal. If you search "boho envelopes' in my channel, there are also some I did with music paper and sheer see through fabric. Those are quite fun for journals too! 🙂💜🩵
So easy to make and so pretty :)
Thanks Sue! Yes, not a lot of time for crafting at the moment, so I've just been doing simple projects that I can stop and start when I find a bit of time lol. I think they turned out so cute 😊💚
@@BonnyAndClive I haven't been crafting at all and don't know when I will be able to get back to it. Hopefully it will be soon, I miss it. You make lovely things :)
Aww sorry to hear that Sue. I know it's so hard not being able to do what you love. Hopefully you will be able to just do some gluing or cutting out pictures or something just to get a little bit of craftiness to your day. I hope it isn't anything too serious. Sending you lots of e-hugs and best wishes 😊💚💚
Love these ❤
Thank you Nancy! They are so pretty to put in journals, and also great to use for gift cards etc. I still have way too much fabric so I really should make some more as I haven't made any in a few years now. I am glad you left a comment on this old video; it kind of acts like a reminder to me to make some more lol 😊💚💜
I’ve just rewatched this and must make some soon!
🥰🥰
Lovely 🌺💕🌹 I think I’ll be making some.
Aww thank you. So happy you will make some aswell. They're a great way to use up tiny pieces of scrap fabric and I think they turn out so pretty 😊💚
You can find the fine metal glue tip bottles on wish or Amazon. Mine were cheaper from wish. Love these envelopes will be making some, & I love your idea for a fabric covered page, will be trying that as well. Thank you for the tutorial.🌻💜🍃🐝🍁
Aww thanks Boo. Hehe I love your addy; Boos Bumbles is so cute! Yeh, I might need to order the needle tip bottles online as I just haven't been able to find them where I live. I did end up making some fabric pages aswell to pop aside for future journals. They look and feel so nice and I think they will look so pretty in journals 😊💚
LOVELY!
Thanks Victor! 😊💚
You are right these are really cute and I have so many fat 1/4 I could use up with my book pages this is the perfect solution. Now I just need to sell them >>>>>>>>>> P.S. Good on you for calling out Coles on their crappy glue sticks I Hope they listen
Thank you Helen! I really love the fabric envelopes and think they look so pretty in journals. And they are such a great way to use up old clothing and fabric scraps and also those never ending book pages! lol Oh! On the Coles glue sticks. Actually, they are pretty good. I must have had a bad one as it was pretty dry, but my husband bought another one ages later and it was actually pretty good, but they are too expensive to buy anyway unless you're in urgent need of one lol 😂💚
I've been making these with my scraps too😋😊😉😁🤗🤗 Yours look lovely Bonny.
Thanks Angelina! Ohh I bet yours are beautiful! You have that magic touch where everything turns out so beautiful 😊💚
@@BonnyAndClive you are too sweet. Of course I think the same about you my friend.😊🤗❤
Seriously you really do! It's a natural talent you have. Everything turns out so vintagey and beautiful! 😊💚
@@BonnyAndClive thank you sweet Bonny. ❤😊
🥰
These are so pretty. I never thought of covering the book pages with fabric. Thank you for sharing your ideas!!
Aww so glad you like them Michelle. It's probably not a new idea but it's definitely one that I always go back to. I really love the look and feel of fabruc on paper. It's like they were made for esch other! lol. I did some boho envelopes with sheer fabric on music paper a few months ago aswell, and they also turned out really cute l 😊💚
What a fun project.....oh the possibilities! ❤️
Thanks Mary! Yes, so many possibilities! You can add lace and appliques and buttons and eyelets and charms and so many other things to embellish them. I also ended up making some fabric pages to put aside for future journals, as I really love the look and feel of the fabric on paper. I think they will look so lovely in journals 😊💚
Love so much in your shop but I am sure shipping to the US would be out of my budget. Your work is so beautiful
Thank you so much Kathie! Yes, shipping international can be expensive sometimes. It's always best to buy multiple items when purchasing from overseas so that the seller can combine shipping for you to make it more worthwhile. I loved how these envelopes turned out. It's a great way to re-use fabric from old clothing and linens 😊🧡🌻
There you are iv missed you xxx cool tutorial can’t wait to learn how to machine, mean while glueing for me 😬 xxx
They look wicked 👍
Iv been looking for the fine point also.
Hi hi Cookie Monster! Hope you're doing well. Been meaning to email you! Oh I can't wait for you to start sewing. Once you start you will be addicted! Love love sewing papers lol 😄💚
You are joking addicted 😱 I don’t need anything else Bonnie . I’m already going into craft rehab as we speak 😂, Mick had to grab me out my. Raft room screening noooo noooo as it was 1 in the morning can’t get enough of this crafting.
Hahaha I am a nocturnal crafter too, but now that I am in the garage, Darren doesn't hear me making noise anymore so can stay as late as I want! hehe 😄💜💜
These are beautiful! I love the way they turned out. It seems like they would be very durable as well 🥰
Thanks Tina! They feel nice and sturdy with the fabric and book page. I think they're so cute! 😊💚
Hi Bonny, I think these are delicious! It’s such a good way to use up book pages and scrap fabric. I will be giving this a go for sure. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, Julie 🥰
Thanks Julie! I really love the vintage floral fabrics. I need to make some more for my own stash. Plus I need to use up more book pages and fabric lol 😄💙💚
Gorgeous! Love these
Aww thank you Hayley! They are so nice and easy to make but I think they always turn out so cute! 😊💚
Soooo cute, Bonnie...would make beautiful soft journal cover
Hi hi Rhonda! How are you doing? Haven't had a chance to catch up with you on FB. Hope all is well and that you are back to crafting! Ohhh they would make nice soft journal covers! I especially like that red fabric😊💚
Look so cool Bonny ,Love how you cut the fabric back to front LOL LOL Hugs for my pussy cat Clivey who never comes into your new craft room :(
Clivey hates my new room 😭. I may have to just lock him in here with me until he gets used to it lol. I think it's the wooden floorboards. He much prefers the warm fluffy carpet. Don't worry, I will drag him in here tomorrow lol.
Oop, did I cut the fabric backwards?? 😁💚
They’re so beautiful Bonny, can’t believe I missed seeing them earlier. Love the floral fabrics. Thankyou for the tutorial :)
Aww thanks Susan! I love using these in junk journals. They're just so pretty and you can add lace or paper flowers or buttons etc to jazz them up if you want. These are actually what I used to make as gift card holders to give out as rewards for the girls at work. As non crafters, they were always so taken by the fact that paper had been sewn to fabric lol. 😀💚
How funny! All afternoon I was making the same exact thing lol great minds always think alike 😊❤ I did mine a bit different, but the same outcome. Lovely envelopes ❤
Hehe yeh I remember you making some ages ago aswell. They turned out so cute. I decided to do a little tutorial since we all make them differently and find what works best for ourselves. I really want to make some super grungy ones with coffee dyed fabric when I have some time aswell. 😊💚
@@BonnyAndClive I'd love to see how those would turn out! Grungy is my favorite 😍
Oh I didn't know you liked grungy! For some reason I thought you liked pretty pretty! I love love super dooper grungy especailly! 😄💚💚
Crazy?! Who me?! Speak for yourself young lady!! LOL .. I must admit, I am guilty, and I do keep just about everything that I should be throwing away .. lol .. Us 'Crazies' have to stick together! Hahaha .. I love these!
Hahaha I think we both keep every little scrap lol. I used to be wayyyy worse when I made my own handmade paper and did assemblages lol. 😄💚
❤❤❤
Aww I remember these. Thanks for commenting on an old video. It always acts like a reminder for me to make some more lol. 😄💚
@@BonnyAndClive There are not enough hours in the day to make everything I would like to make. I imagine you are the same.
Oh yes, never enough time; my "to do" list is ten miles long lol. I also look look after my elderly father with dementia, but at least the little grandkiddies are both in school now so that has given me a little extra time ☺💚
Tfs these are fab. I had the same issues with glue sticks from the reject shop, would not even stick paper together haha
Oh yeh those Coles ones are terrible! and wouldn't stick paper together either lol. I wasn't sure if they are always like that or if they were just on the shelf too long lol. I love those Keji ones from Officemax though; they are super sticky on paper and fingers lol 😊💚
Ooh! I want that glue too!
"Art Glitter Glue" (this is obviously the name, and not that it is a glitter type of glue)
I don't know if Amazon delivers to Australia or not but I know that many people get it on Amazon. 😊
Oh I found a different glue with a fine tip nozzle that is way cheaper than Art Glitter Glue! I'll try to remember to show it on my next video! 😊💚
Love this idea! Are they sustajnable if only glued and not sewn down?
Thank you Elizabeth! So happy you like them! I haven't tried any without sewing, but I think maybe if you used an iron on stabiliser fabric to fabric instead of paper, then glue the sides, it should work. Gluing on paper without sewing might also work if you use some Fray Stop on the fabric edges to stop it fraying.
Have you considered buying a sewing machine? I just have a little cheap little Elna 2000 and it's great for crafting. I've had mine for years now and it's still going strong, even after sewing all sorts of crazy materials on it lol. I picked it up from Spotlight for $90 when they had one of their 50% off sewing machine sales. It's a basic mschine and super easy to use. And...so much fun! 🙂🩵💙
Adorable, do you mind sharing how/if you sell and pricing?
Hi Natalie! I don't mind sharing anything hehe. I do sell these in my Etsy shop (link is in the descriptiion box) and I priced them at AUD $18 for a pack of 10. So happy you like them! If you're thinking of making some fabric envelopes, there is also a video on my channel called Boho Fabric Envelopes that you might like aswell. Those already sold out but if you watch the video, they are really easy to make yourself aswell 😊💚💙
Love the idea. What is everyone using these for???
Thank you Elizabeth! I used mine to pop into handmade journals, but I also made some for a lady who wanted to use them for wedding invitations ,and another as gift card holders 🙂💚
@@BonnyAndClive many thanks for yr ideas!
🥰
Niiiiiice work
Good channel😍😍😍
Your new sub# with you
Thank you so much Najat! 😊💚
Ooh! I save my threads too! But, I don't know what to do with them 😔 Do you have any suggestions or a tutorial 🤔
Hi Jaydis! Hahaha I am glad there are others out there saving the threads too lol. I use them for all sorts of things here and there, but I'll try and do some videos soon showing a few things I regularly use them for 😊💚
I also really like when the pages peep through. I didn't know your cotton ball phobia extended to flannel, i thought you loved flannel?
Eeeeeeeee no Jamesy I can't stand the feel of flannel, cotton balls, velvet etc. I do like guys in flannelette shirts though haha 😄💚
Can you tell me about using fabric from Joann’s or any fabric that has a copy right. Can we use these in items we sell?
Hi Suzanne! So sorry, I can't really hep you with copy right as each country has their own rules, and I am sure America differs to Australia. Here, we are fine to sell what we make with the fabric, so long as we don't scan it and sell it digitally or copy the design etc, however, there are always some questions around Disney fabric etc! You'd be best to check with your Government body that administers copyright regulations, as the legalities around Copyright (and Trademarks) are quite complex. 💚
Oh i made similar a few yrs ago, not sure what i called them...🙂
Here's what mine turned out like
th-cam.com/video/R9AoVk2HGFA/w-d-xo.html
Just watched your video. Yours are so professionally made and mine are so junk journally lol. Love love love your patchwork ones! They're so cute! 😊💚
@@BonnyAndClive thanks so much, yeah mine were all fabric, i did do some in paper as well. I have a photo not sure how to share it here though, would you like to join our FB group?
Unfortunately I'm not much of a Facebook user lol. I log in now and then but must admit I am not much of a FB fan. Guess I will just have to get used to it. It's still quite new for me lol. 😄💚
