Not confined to the boundaries is a fabulous freedom!
Making it up as you go is the best for me because I don’t stress and constantly think about the project when I’m not working on it!
Thank you so much 😊
Loving the birds in the background 🕊🦜
Thank you so much 😊
I love this binding technique for those old books without spines. Thanks Rachel! 🌷
Thank you so much 😊
I love random making much more than following directions. It’s much more relaxing to me.
I love when you just let your creativity flow and forge ahead with no firm plan. Happy accidents often happen that way.
Thank you! 🤗
I love these "make it up as you go" videos the best because it shows the reality of journal making!!
Thank you! 🤗
Oh I can tell I'm going to love this one!
Thank you so much 😊
I’m of a like mind Rachel, I get energized by the creative process and have the most fun diving into the unknown and creating as I go and letting the project direct the outcome. Once I seem to have a pattern or plan it’s time to move on the the next exciting creation. Sometimes I find myself completely changing course in the middle of a project and it turns into something new and unexpected.
Thank you so much 😊
I'm so glad you made this video
Thank you so much 😊
This is my favorite video. No plan, just winging it. You are having so much fun, it makes me want to do it too. You inspire me to just play in my craft room. I think you are the only artist that can bring so much joy to a simple project. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Thank you! 🤗
I’m with you!! I love the ‘messy’ intuitive, make it up as I go along, change my mind, altogether different, etc. heaven
Thank you so much 😊
I love this type of journal. I certainly will make a couple of these for myself. Thanks for showing us all your tips.
Thank you so much 😊
I love that you're making a tie journal. Those and ring bound journals are my favorites to make. I've learned that if you cut each page a little wider, you can turn the left edge over and glue it down on the back so then the holes will automatically be reinforced when you punch them through both layers. It just saves you from having to reinforce each hole separately. I also will put a little masking tape on the tip of the jute to help it go through all the holes without fraying and then cut the end off when I'm done, but I like your needle idea, too. Love how your journal turned out! tfs
Thank you for these great tips!
@@Judymontel Oh, you're welcome, Judith. Thank you for letting me know they were a help.
Brill idea. Thanks for sharing.
@@gillwinship6610 Thank you!!!
Great tips!
Great project Rachel! I fly by the seat of my pants when making journals! Too much planning takes the fun out of it for me. 😊🤗
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you Rachel, great to see some more straw paper. 💕💕💕
What a cute, fun book!
Thank you so much 😊
Uh oh... I'm getting inspired... 😁
Yay!
I love that journal.
Thank you so much 😊
I love constructing new things! Really like this journal idea!
Thank you so much 😊
Sooo much more than make-shift, Rachel. This pretty is one of your many success stories. Watching made me happy, hugs, Carol xo
Thank you so much!
Make it up as you go!!!! I am a retired school teacher and I can tell you my BEST teaching was when I had to make it up as you go! 💕
Thank you! 🤗
Really cool journal. Love that the covers aren't even the same size. You have the most gorgeous papers and it's always fun to see how you put them all together.
Thanks so much! 😊
Now that was just brilliant... love that idea... I have a lot of books, just not old books... but I am sure with some sandpaper and a craft knife I can make them look more used... 🤣🤣Cheers for sharing and take care...
Thank you so much 😊
Oh this is fun Rachel! I really love the fragile piece of paper that you glue to the back. It was nice to hear you having fun with it... it was either you being silly or your mind finally melted in the heat
Thanks so much! 😊
love making random stuff with no plan before i start they are usually the best things i make
Thank you so much 😊
This was fun I love that always think of different things to do. I love this kind of spine. Thanks for sharing 🌴💕😍
Thank you! 🤗
Great project! I do love to just sit down & create. I have made my best & quickest projects when I just sit down without pressure of what to make. The rest of my life needs to be super organized having triplets & running a mental health facility so I really enjoy when I can relax & “wing it”
Thank you! 🤗
I love to do making it as I go. I've been a bit out of my mojo lately, so I've been watching alot! I enjoy watching you so much. Thank you for helping me along!
Thank you! 😃
Make it up as you go are always the most fun!❤️
If you take a piece of tape and wrap it really tight around the tip of your jute-like a shoelace it works really well for threading this is a teaching technique.
Thank you so much 😊
These are so awesome ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I so look forward to your videos. Thank you ! For sharing your time and awesome talent.
Thank you so much!
What a fresh and fun new way to put together a journal! Love hearing the birdies after the drilling stopped 🙂
Thank you! 🤗
I really like the “winging it” videos. This Vedic is great.
Thank you so much 😊
Rachel:well,- that was a lot of fun! It really turned out good looking. Carol from California
Thank you! 🤗
I loved this process so much, I was telling you as you were threading it that you need a big fat Upholstery Needle lol, I look forwasd to the next video tfs Rachel...Kia Kaha...
Thank you so much 😊
Hey Rachel! I love your channel and you. You don’t know it but you have been my teacher for the journal journey I just started started. I Love you!!
Thank you! 🤗
A fabulous book Rachel ❣ another neat idea for small book covers 📚⚘📚
Thank you! 😊
Design on the fly is the BEST !
I LOVE MAKE IT UP AS YOU GO!!! I’ve made tons of tags with your papers adding in my art and working on 3 folios and 2 journals! The journals are lovely hard bound sewn small desk planners that are outdated and I’ve removed pages and glued pages together….having a blast! It’s all I think about! Maybe I’ll lose weight…no time to cook or eat much! Love your channel!!😍🥰👏👏👏🥰
Thank you! 🤗
What a great journal. Love the fabric ribbons you did at the end. I think I could do this one. THANKS 😀😀
Thank you! 🤗
I may just have to stop watching your channel, cause I have a to do wish list 10 feet long😂…. So many ideas. Love this project too. ❤Did the notebook journal today with neutral colors. So many things to do. The envelope stack…. Christmas. ❤ thank you so much for all your inspiration and sharing.
Hahaha, Thank you! 🤗
I love this ! Brilliant ! Thank you for showing how you wing it ! Very fun 🤗
Thanks so much 😊
I am silly too when I enjoy what I am doing. I also sing or really just make a joyful noise...lol... i love what you did here for the journal. You amaze and truly inspire me. Thank you so much. Bless you for sharing your talents with us.
Thanks so much! 😊
Great idea Rache! Loving it! ❤️😊🇦🇺xxx
Thanks so much 😊
Really enjoy your winging it videos… they always turn out fabulous ❤️
Thanks so much 😊
Nice one Rachel!!!! Looking forward to seeing how you decorate it!!!!
Thank you! 😊
Yes love make as you go. It’s a lovely surprise at the end. This is brilliant looking forward to Saturday thank you for sharing Rachel 😊
Thanks so much 😊
FYI... to get the plug out of the crop a dial...it will usually come out if you just turn it over & squeeze it a couple more times, after you take out the book or paper. Hold it upside down and squeeze a few times, and sometimes tap on the desk.
Thank you so much 😊
I like your idea of making one with the covers horizontal rather than vertical. Would love to watch that! 💖📘💖
We will have to give that a go too! Thank you! 🤗
Just adore this idea. Have a good evening
Thank you! 😊
So much fun, love how you make everything special! I got a book from you can’t wait to do something without! I always have so much fun with you! thank you for being so fun and sharing your creativity with us! Xoxo ❤️
Thank you! 🤗
love this one, great use of old covers.thank you for the inspiration. hugs.
Thanks so much!
Hello Rachel, love how your tie bound journal came out, so beautiful. What a fabulous idea to do this with damaged spine covers, awesome. TFS
Thanks so much! 😊
I actually TRY to follow a plan, but almost always wind up winging my projects…. I just go with the flow of what strikes me in the moment!
Love your Italian kits.
Thank you! 🤗
Rachel this is a wonderful idea. I don’t come up with my own ideas for journals, if they are different kind of design I follow someone else but I do put my spin on it. TFS! ❤️
Thank you so much!
I’ll almost miss the drilling and banging when it stops! 😜
Yes, I love making it up as I go!😍
Love the make it up as you go along, although it can be hard to do. I spent the time watching your video ripping an old sheet into sections for the journal of stitchery. Still not sure if I'm actually going to do it, though 😜
Thank you so much 😊
A fun way to easily bind a journal Rachel, and I have tried Heather's way also!
Thank you so much 😊
I'm with you I really enjoy just going with the flow no ideas sometimes just know there's something that I want to make and I just dig in. I find that very relaxing and very rewarding. It's not that I don't follow a particular formula if I'm trying to make something similar to something someone else's made. But I usually only do one of those and then I just go on and do my own thing. I really am a pretty independent kind of journaler as I don't have all the things that other people have so I make it up as I go
Thank you! 🤗
Thanks so much for sharing your process!💞
Love it, Rachel! Unique and beautifully inspired Mx
Thank you so much!
Hi Rachel, great project to use the book covers! I like to watch you make randomly, but I struggle to, I guess we all have different ways of working xx
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi Rachel. I see the needle helped a lot. I was thinking about wrapping the twine tip with washi. This came out very cool!
Thank you! 🤗
This is such a good idea! I love the way this looks.
Thank you!! 😊
I love working all loosey goosey ! It’s the no plan plan.I wonder how it would work to glue a piece of tea-dyed fabric down to reinforce the holes. If you put it down before you punch holes it would save time. Don’t you love a backseat driver? 😂
Hahaha, yes! Thank you! 🤗
That was such a great Idea. I love the twine. will have to see if I have anything like that laying around.
Thank you! 🤗
Use a piece of scotch tape around the end of jute like a shoe string & it would be easier to get thru holes
Thank you so much 😊
I pretty much do everything randomly and spontaneously--make life more interesting!! : )
Thank you! 🤗
Love this journal👍❤
Thanks so much!
That is a cute little book. I enjoy a just wing it kind of project sometimes....no pressure just fun.
Thank you! 🤗
You can make a little aglet at end of your rope by rolling it in a little glue between your fingers or wrapping it with a bit of tape. 🙂
Thank you so much!
Great idea. Love it. TFS
Thanks so much!
💙 Ty Rachel!
Hi! To make it easier to thread the twine, you could wrap the ends with scotch tape to keep the ends together like a shoelace.
Thank you! 🤗
If you put tape around the end of the twine it would thread easier. Also, strong washi tape on both sides of the pages might work to strengthen it for the holes to act as reinforcement. This is a fun project, Rachel!
Thank you! 🤗
Fantastic and pretty quick
Thank you! 🤗
Perhaps thread the twine onto a large eyed needle and do each section all st once.
Fabulous idea! Have just what I need to do this 💕your ideas are super inspiring
Thanks so much! 😊
I'm going to have to look for some old books with a similar cover, Love this! I usually wing it when I'm making my journals, I'll start with a plan than just go for it. I also like to make my own hole reinforcers - I'll punch the small hole first then use a 1/2" circle punch centered over the small hole. That way I can use scraps or tea dyed paper. Thanks Rachell for your inspirations!
Great tip re the reinforcers. Will try that. ❤️👍
Thank you! 🤗
I adore this!
Thank you! 🤗
thank you very very much Rachel, " j Adore" , i like so so much
Thank you! 🤗
Love this!
Thank you! 🤗
I tend to make it up as I go!
I love this💕
Thank you! 🤗
I love this idea! I will be doing this in the next few days! Have the perfect cover!
Thank you! 🤗
Love this. Was already planning a closure similar to this. Great instructions.
Thank you so much 😊
Really neat!
Thank you so much 😊
Rachel, have you tried a reef knot? It is a simple double knot but you do the second one the other way round. Right over left then left over right.
You could use washi tape down the side or that sticker paper as reinforcers before you punch. Also try a bobby pin as a threader. 😀
Thank you! 🤗
Love those covers brilliant. Yes I have a lot of fun going up as I go along!
Thank you! 🤗
I was looking at my growing collection of small covers with badly damaged spines just yesterday, wishing for ideas on what to do with them. Thank you for your answer! I will use the Shakespeare one to make a journal to track my reading list, and one of the others to note down ideas for projects I want to try in the future. As far as doing things randomly, my intention is always to follow instructions, but I never seem to totally follow through. Almost unconsciously, I change things up until they are a slightly different thing. I have not been disappointed with the outcome, but it is slightly like expecting a panther but giving birth to a leopard. Don't apologize for your banging and drilling. I still have my ongoing roofing to contend with so I can't tell the difference. It's construction in stereo, but it keeps me awake.
Thank you! 🤗
thank you, the pages are lovely!
Thank you! 🤗
Thanks for sharing this fabulous idea!
Thank you! 🤗
Things sticking out. You risk taker you. 🥰
Love it!!! xx
Thank you!!
Gosh, I just love how this turned out I was thinking I have a small book with a damaged spine I could use like this! thank you for the idea! 💕Oh and I was thinking you could have used a strip of your printed tape along the edge before you punched the hole, it would have looked pretty and reinforced the holes!😁
Thank you! 🤗
I occasionally just make things on the fly and it comes out great! Then I try to make another one the same way and it doesn't work out near as well. Go figure!!
Thank you! 🤗
