- Every Journal needs a PEN! A pen loop is such a fun little thing to add to your own journals and journals that you sell, so that you can always have your favorite pen handy.

Thank you for this brilliant idea. When hand sewing, you can use a fork to indent your holes, this will help with equal spacing.
What a great idea!!!!
I’m going to try that this very weekend.
Excellent tip, thank you!!!
Este Swart good idea x
Este Swart What an awesome tip! 👍🏻
Wonderful idea because i was already thinking how to hand stitch this. My kidney dialysis tech is always looking for her stylus this clipped to her scrubs well end that! Lol TFS
I made three of these cute penholders today (except the decoration) and I am quite pleased. The hardest thing for me was finding the right kind of cardstock, as I don´t eat cereals. 😊 The papers that I tried first broke at the folding line. Others were to thin. Then I put a piece of paper in between, to make it sturdier. Now everything is fine and secured. Tomorrow I´ll go on and decorate. Thanks a lot.
This added to the corner book mark would make a lovely little pressie, and possibly with a small notebook. You’ve given me some ideas for a thank you pressie…..x
Hello and so happy with this idea. I have closed some of them with crochet and other ones with handmade stitches. My friends are now delighted with this peculiar and unique gift I have given to them.
Oh how wonderful!!! Perfect little gift :)
You have the most creative things to do with our Junk Journals. When we add them, they can no longer be called Junk. They are beautiful journals. Great job as usual.
Thank you so much! I prefer to call them Treasure Books, because that's what they are to me. I stick with Junk Journals only because people are familiar with that term (but I don't like it)
@TreasureBooks, I don't care for the Junk journal term, either. Treasure book(s) sounds much better to me!
I grew up knowing them as split pins. Never heard them called brads until I started scrapbooking, it took ages to get used to that name. Absolutely love this idea.
hmmm maybe the crafty world gave them a new 'special' name, so that they can charge a higher price :)
What a brilliant inspiration - for my journal, for gifts, to stick onto a birthday journal card ...
Wonderful! I was just thinking of how to fasten a pen in my calendar 2023, because it had none. So I will be happy with it and send it to some of my friends as a little gift. Thank you so much. I love your tutorials and your way of artful handycraft. Of course I will also watch the videos, you linked below. 🥰
I love how you write it down. I take a screenshot and print it out so I can put it beside me when I craft. I’m doing a family tree and as well recording history events that parallel their lives. Thank you for such uncomplicated series and your explanations are so easy to follow. I usually scan through most craft videos as they just like to talk about their lives which I hate....”don’t care “... thanks again, yours is relevant to what you’re doing and you don’t waffle on👌
hehe Thank you so much :)
Hi Natasha, me and my 11 year old niece just watched your tutorial and we are happy we did. Thank you for sharing.🌺
I'm so glad! Thank you :)
Oh how I love this! I've been making pockets inside the journals. I'm going to give this a go ❤
Thank you again. I only just found you recently but I am an avid put-it-into-practice follower. 🤩
Wonderful! Thank you so much
Although I am a subscriber, I am not a regular watcher and I don’t know why! Every single time I watch your videos, I learn something! Your ideas are wonderful and your instructions are always quite clear! I am currently making a new journal for my shop and I am definitely going to add one of these! Love it! Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Joan!!
This is very clever and unique! So far I haven't seen this solution for attaching a pen, in any other video !
Glad it was helpful!
I love that you love art just for art’s sake. You left not trying to push products. You are genuine. Stay authentic.
Thank you so much Rachel :)
I loved the idea of securing the elastic loop with the brad even more than sowing it down. I love the look of stitches, but the brad makes it more special, in my opinion. This idea is definitely a keeper for me.
Im so glad I found you! You inspired me so much. I got into creating something similar to your envelopes using white paper sacks I picked up at a thrift store. I sewed lace, buttons, used softener sheets and all sorts of textiles. After some time, I put it away for a couple years and then I saw your channel!!. Thought I'd take a peek and now I'm re-inspired! Thank you. I like the process you apply to your creations especially the book page envelopes. Love your accent too. I subscribed yesterday to your channel and have been seeing alot of your past videos. Thank you again. 😊
Oh thank you so much Barbara. I'm so glad you feel inspired again!!
This is one of those blindingly obvious ideas that make you go "Doh! Why didn't *I* think of that??" Thank you for thinking of it for us! Love the one with the little envelope - perfect when the journal is a present for someone...
The side of a butter boxes are about the right size, (we'll get 4 from that!) or the top side of a pudding cup wrap for 4 pudding snacks. (Might yield 2) Sturdy, plus they all have the nice white sides to fold to the outside. Nice backgrounds to decorate.☺️
I love how you have the instructions written out!
Hey Natasha, these are so cute and the best part, is their practicality! Thanks for sharing!
WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA, YOU HAVE EMBELLISHED THEM SO BEAUTIFULLY, JUST LOVE YOUR CHOICES
OF DESIGN. WISH I HAD THE IMAGINATION, NICELY DEMONSTRATED.CAMILLE AUSTRALIA
Hi Camille, thank you so much! I also always thought that I don't know how to put colours together, or what goes with what. But since I started making videos and getting feedback, I realize I'm much better at it than I thought. I bet the same is true for you!
Wow this is smart and cute. I have been trying to figure out how I could add a pen to my journals - elastic. Genius! Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!!
This is just perfect for my notebook, to attach a pencil so it doesn't get lost. It makes a shopping list easier as I can add extra as I think of them and I can actually find something to write with. Thank you. And I can have fun decorating it. Lovely.
Perfect timing for me! I was thinking of adding pen loops, wondering which cover, back or front.....etc. Didn't even watch the whole video before digging in! [another way to make holes is on the sewing machine, just without thread]
Great tip Vicky!! Thank you :)
I love this idea and how you show a version if you don't have a sewing machine. Thank you for sharing.
Than you so much!
Confession, I’ve put off watching this video, thinking I’ll never have a need for Pen Loops. TH-cam kept insisting and so glad. You can never have enough knowledge when it comes to “Treasure Books”.
Hehe I love it, thank you TH-cam for insisting and thank you Robin for watching :)
Very fun and I could feel the creative juices flowing
I've made a few of these now. So quick and easy and made from scraps of cardstock.
Thanks for sharing great idea for a pen loop. Made others with elastic headband and a pouch. Your idea is easier and cute.
I definitely want to make these. I am new to journaling and think your videos are the best! I’m learning sooooo much. Your creations are beautiful. And your videos are very peaceful and relaxing. Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! That makes me so happy :)
I LOVE this! I’m always trying to remove & reuse those sticky back pen loops! Also, I can’t believe there’s a video of yours that I’ve never seen! 😅
Love this! It will make a nice little gifting for my journaling group. Thanks for the idea and the how to.
Ingenious, lovely and useful!! You can't get much better than that!! What a great idea! And thank you so much for sharing how to make them!!
Thank you Janet!!

Using the brad is great. Just ordered small pens for all the planned books. First one will be called "My Ayes Only".

Loved it so much... now I just need to find brads at home! Thank you for the tutorial
You are so very clever! I decorate pens to go with my journals so thanks to you I have a great way to keep them together. 😃
Oh how interesting. How do you decorate the pens? I love that idea!
Treasure Books I take an inexpensive pen that doesn’t have a clip or any sort of protruding parts and give it a light sanding with a nail file used for acrylic nails. Then I measure (just eyeball really) the length of the pen and it’s diameter. I then cut out the long narrow rectangle from paper or cloth and place it face down on my work surface. If using paper I simply UHU glue stick the entire surface of the paper then lay the pen beside it and roll the pen up in the paper. The paper overlaps slightly therefore adhering to itself. If using fabric I use
ModPodge to adhere it to the pen. A mix of white glue and water also works. Then, whether paper or fabric, I cover it all with ModPodge and let it dry. If the top of the pen is flat I will sometimes glue a small button on top. I have also wrapped the pen with embroidery floss, about an inch from the top, placed a dot of glue under the knot and added a charm. I hope that I have explained this as clearly as you explain things in your videos. I so enjoy you and your videos. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Laura
Love this idea. You really do a great job of explaining the process. Thank you.
Wow! This is awesome! Looks easy enough. I am definitely going to be making these for my journals! Thank you so much! Wonderful video!
