Thanks again / I’m 82 years young trying to make 2 junk journals for my brothers both in their 80s / from Canada/ I have enclosed our family tree to start my ideas for their journals our mom kept humorous cards my dad gave her and I am also incorporating them in journals / family pictures to start them thinking of a story they may want to write. Both of my brothers live on the other side of Canada and I miss them, I want to finish them and send as a surprise . I am using elastic binding so they can add more pages,/ I have a letter from my grandfather to me. I saved it and will copy some of the pages for hand written pages in the diary My mom kept an envelope from when my dad had open heart surgery away from home. I also will enclose copies of this envelop to illicit some memories of my dad. Etc. Thank goodness these are junk journals as I am making lots of mistakes but I am enjoying the process which is what it is really all about! Thanks for your many suggestions along the way that has been a big help.
Thank you so much Natasha, I really really enjoyed watching you create this lovely bookmark/ journal closure. Great idea. And one I’m going to try out soon. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤❤
First I love your accent, I'm saying that because I have an Oklahoma drawl...and Australia is my fav country...I spent three months there in 1999.. I loved every moment...second, I love your videos...I've nearly binge watched all of them and several of them twice...you have hooked me on junk journals...I love writing and esp love writing in journals, but I buy a mass marketed one and soon I'm bored w it...so as soon as I can get my mind wrapped around imagination, I'm going to try to make my own...if I fail I'm buying one of yours...if I don't fail I'm still buying one from you for my to me from me xmas present...thank you for your clear and excellent instructions...I'm a scientist so directions are something I follow...now imagination not so much...
Aw thank you so much Terri :)
Love this closure, so practical and simple to prepare. I've just finished my attempt and very pleased with the result
You could probably dab clear nail varnish on the end of the ribbon - or coloured, if you like - to prevent fraying. You know, for a less pyrotechnic version. I'm definitely going to try to make some of these.
Your paper making scrolled up so decided to watch the closure video. I dont journal but want to use papers for cards and tags. I use pity tail bands similarly to close my purses made from jeans and sometimes clothing, fronts of jackets too. It would be easier to pin to sew or pin mar where buttons go or cutting lines. I even sew buttons on with my 9 machines! Sewing is my main passion but branching out. For the lace that is a one sided design you can cut two pieces and overlap and do a small zig zag down the middle or edge sew the lace on both sides of a narrow ribbon. I cut and knot the hair ties too if I want a loop similar to close a flap on a purse. All in all a good use for this closure on a journal.
So many great ideas. Thank you :)
I have been binge watching you all day and I am still not tired!! One great idea after another and you execute them wonderfully! Thanks again so much for sharing you joy with us!❤️
Thank you so much!!
I love this closure. Thanks for sharing and writing out the steps for us.
It really is sooooo giving of you to share your creations with us. I appreciate them so much. Thank you! 💕🙏🏼💕🙏🏼💕💕💕
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching :)
They look so gorgeous 🥰
What a cool closure.....................😻😻
Oh, I like this idea. Partly because I always seem to forget about the closure until the very end at which point I can't hide mechanics of it. Plus I could make several of these at a time and send as gifts to fellow junk journalers. TFS
Yes!! Exactly! I have also forgotten to include a closure until its too late! This could be added any time, and also make wonderful quick and easy gifts!
Great tutorial. Love this idea! Thanks for sharing!
Many thanks for sharing your talent. I have a deep admiration for your creativity.
Thank you so much Teresa, that means a lot :)
Love this idea!!! They are BEAUTIFUL ❤
Thank you! 😊
Love love this! This I can do for closures for journals! I do not have all the fancy machines or tools to do colsures. This it PERFECT! ThankYou!
Glad you like it Cari. Thank you :)
This is a great idea for completed books that need a closure. Love love love all of your beautiful ideas.
What a great idea!!! I have thousands of buttons.
Wonderful!
Nice simple closure and one that can be created to match your junk journal!
Thank you so much for sharing such an awesome idea, always nice to have options for journal closures and this one is quite quick and very effective
Hugs and Smiles
A great idea and a great video. Thanks for sharing
You could also metal stud it to the leather spine section before adding it to your book!! I use a double capped rivet!
Nice idea I just did a velcro latch
LOVE this closure Natasa!!! I don't have a sewing machine but I'm sure I could hand stitch the elastic on. thanks so much for sharing and inspiring me!!
Thank you so much Jenny. I'm glad you feel inspired!!

Наташа вы прелесть. Ваши работы просто великолепны. Благодарю вас за идеи которые вы объяснили
So beautiful and great idea
Natasha, I am binge watching all your videos. I just finished my first junk journal. I made it out of an old address book. Now that it's done and super "STUFFED" this elastic tie will be perfect. THANK YOU for all your great help! Couldn't have done it without you!
That is awesome! Thanks so much Debby!!
Such a fun idea for closures! I love this idea to use beautiful ribbon! Thank you. Be well. 😊💖🌻
Great tutorial, I’m definitely going to make them. So simple but so effective. Thank you for showing us x
I’ve used this idea to secure my kid’s stainless steel lunch box lid which was otherwise opening up easily. Used a thicker strap for wrapping around, a big button and a elastic hair band for closure 😎
Stunning closure and excellent tutorial. I loved the ones you made too ❤️💙💜💚💛
Cool project.
Thanks for sharing this very versatile closure idea.
Perfect idea! Going to do this for my closures for sure! Thank you!
Yes, it is a great project. Another brilliant way to use my stash. Love the idea. TFS xo
Thank you so much, looking for different closure ideas.
Have only seen it used for bookmarks. Wonderful idea for journal closure. I can imagine a bulb pin and charms or any kind of embellishing. Can be designed to fit in your front journal design.
Great video, love the idea, easy even for a non sewing machinist like me, very helpful. Thank you Merry Christmas Xx💚
Thank you for a great tutorial! I plan to make some of these! ❤️
These would also make unique and awesome headbands!
Yes! Fabulous idea :)
This was the perfect inspiration for me today!! I now have the ideal way to close a journal without covering the image..brilliant - thank you so much for sharing ❣
You are so welcome!
Super idea! This will be so handy and attractive for mens journal closure, too.
They are super fun! Love how they look on a journal...!! And so quick and easy! Thank you, Natasa! Hugs 💕 Suzy
Great idea, Perfect closures for my nieces journals. Thank you for sharing
Wonderful idea brilliantly executed.
So very clever Natasa...endless combinations will be fun to try out. Thank you for your usual creativity and attention to detail.
Thank you so much Susan :)
Great tutorial. Thanx for another new idea! X
These are adorable. I've made these but not this pretty! Thank you for sharing your ideas!!
Beautiful! Another project I have lots of materials for! Thanks ❤️
Love this idea, so cute! I think I will attempt! Thanks for sharing! 💓💓💓💓
I’ve been looking for something like this to make. Thank you for posting this process video.
I’ve got some symmetrical lace and some linen hand printed with bees which has already got me itching to do these. Thank you for sharing with us Natasa. 💕💕💕
An excellent tutorial! I'm working on a journal that needs a closure and this will be perfect!
Love these, thanks for posting on the alternative junk journals Facebook page so I can try this. Seasons greetings 💚
Thank you for another great idea. I'm going to try this tomorrow.
What a great idea 😀 thank you so much for sharing 😘😘❤️😘
Easy enough to do and endless possibilities...couldn't the sewing of the edges be done by hand if a sewing machine isn't available? (I'm enjoying your tutorials and learn a lot from them!)
Absolutely Liz!! I don't see why not! Just might take a little extra time, but thats all. Glad you like the idea. Thank you
This is also a beautiful bellyband.
Very good video. I learned a lot. Thank you!
Wow! Very clever! Love this 💕
Loved the tutorial thank you once again ❤️🌼
brilliant, thx just what I was looking for xxx
Great idea thanks for sharing. You could also use some glue to stop the ribbon fraying.
idea brilliantly and perfect!
Perfect! I was trying to figure out a vertical closure option 😀
Thank you....always looking for an easy closure for journals.
Great idea, Natasa! This is going to come in handy for a journal I'm putting together that demands a different type of closure. Perfect timing, thank you! ~ Lisa
Love the tip for the ribbon I never knew that how to that
Love it! Thank you.
Looks easy and a coordinating closure is always good👏👏TFS💜
oooh! Very Nice!!! Thanks!
Good Tutorial, Thank you for sharing.
Yes thank you for sharing 😊💕💕 I'll be trying this out, 💖Pea
What a wonderful idea 😍❤️
Perfect gift idea for a friend as well. Thank you so much for showing this to all of us. :)
Yes. Perfect. Thank you.
Love this idea!
Fabri-Tac from beacon glue will work really good and walmart carries it in the craft section.
not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you're stoned like me atm you can stream pretty much all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last couple of months xD
@Owen Ari yea, have been using instaflixxer for months myself =)
This is such a great idea and I enjoyed the video. Tyfs
Can’t wait to try this!
Have fun!
