    I watched parts of this video AGAIN!! I just can’t even begin to tell you how this project resonates with my soul!!! I’m a country girl who was displaced to Indiana almost 50 years ago. This natural, organic look takes me back to my roots where we’d make things out of nature: necklaces made from the berries of dogwood trees, glitter from crushed-up rocks, etc. I gotta stop texting or I’ll end up crying. Thank you so much for this tutorial. 😍😍

      Don't cry, you have a place on U Tube now. Please share some of those natural root crafts, I'm sure many people would really like it and they'd look stunning in a nature journal. I for 1 love the crushed rock idea.

    These woodsy journals are gorgeous, Natasha! Perhaps the word you were looking for to describe them was "organic"? I can so see a theme of fairies or botanicals or forest animals in these books. I just love them so much! You just continue to amaze and inspire every time you come up with a new idea!❤️

    Very organic and rustic! Love this; I'm also drawn to the single-page binding that is found in Korean and Japanese culture. Thanks for another excellent video.

    I want to make a birthday present for my mum and this is perfect.
    I'm so very burned out, and my head just can't make the book I wanted, but this is absolutely perfect and easy enough!
    I wanted to make her a book full of goodies to use for making card, and this would be great for gifting her a bunch of eco dyed papers and some of my teabags and the faux rice paper you also taught us.
    I will put a cute envelope with some washi stickers and a few dried flowers in it for her to use.
    Mum is going to be 73 and as she's into gardening, she's going to love this!!! 🖤🖤🖤

You are the best teacher I’ve ever seen. I watched your video about getting to know you and I admire you for the struggles you’ve overcome. You are truly an inspiration on many levels. Please keep up the good work and thank you for all your efforts.

    I simply love, love crafting with nature, b/c nature provides authentic pieces and elements that can't be reproduced by a machine. Nothing is better than using found objects to create with like berries, feathers and the rustic look of branches, twigs and leaves. I'd simply love to see how you created your awesome journal covers. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

    I’ve seen this type of binding on Pinterest a hundred times and liked the idea but only with your tutorial I got excited a plenty lot. On weekends I go for walks with audio books of my favorite authors and bring home beautiful twigs. Now I know why I have that collection. And I love the box of teabags, I have to start one for myself as well. Thanks for all the inspiration you plant with your charming tutorials.

    Greetings from New Zealand. That little tool you use to rough the edges with is a safety cutter for threads and yarn, used in place of scissors or snippers, mostly by hand embroiderers and knitter who travel a lot on public transport (you can take it on a plane), and by those who have - or are around - small children. It is like a portable version of the thread cutter on the back of a sewing machine. For anyone who might be wanting one, it can usually be found in the habidashery section of a store. I have a lovely vintage one, a round metal one with several different size notches around it, for different size threads - sewing, embroidery, and yarn. Cheers. 😊

I actually had no idea how I was going to do the binding, so I really apreciate this timely tutorial! And your embellishments will also help me decorate the covers of the journals! Thank you so much and cheers from Denver CO!

    This is a great way to bind a journal, thank you for reminding me about it . I first saw it years ago where the lady punched the holes first and used string to tie the twig and in another she used an elastic band , which meant you could easily replace the pages for new ones. Seeing it again makes me want to try it again! Xx

    Natasha, these are so lovely. Here in the Southern California desert where I live we have Cholla (pronounced choy - ya) cactus also known as jumping cactus. When the "branches" dry out they become a beautiful stick full of holes, so this is a perfect project for me as I'm hoping to sell a few little handmade treasures at the gift shop in town. As always, I thank you bunches. Love you girl, MK ♥️🤗🏜
