I have cereal boxes that I use to make things.

Es ist ein wunderschönes Projekt und ein wirklich tolles Buch geworden. einfach wow💗

I love these. I always get two or three when I'm in the store. I love the glitter pieces too ❤

That paper is beautiful. I bought some. Thanks for letting us know.

These are both gorgeous! You’re an artist ❤

Thank you. I’m getting ready to make my FIRST journal!😃

I've done junk journals with Altered books for 15yrs. First time doing them from scratch and It looks easy but it's not. Getting those signatures to match with the papers is a real struggle. Especially if your cutter is not cooperating. I struggled last night was up till 3am

Can tell you do not know how to clean gourds

Thank you a great video just found it. Have you ever made a spore print on fabric? I’m a fibre artist. I realize I can print fabric from a mushroom photograph but wonder if there’s a way to preserve the spore print on fabric. Thanks for the informative video.

❤

Love this! I'm ready to go out gathering now! Thank you! About how much mordant did you use for each cup of water? And does it matter which mordant you use? Likewise how much gum arabic?

Thanks, Michelle Rae. I wasn't looking for instructions on making a no-sew binding, but I am happy to understand the technique! Thanks for sharing.

I think I would round all the signature corners just so they ease into place better.

Couldn’t see what you were doing, brightness was glaring

Where to get the tool used

Love the idea i recycle boxes too so, you got some great ideas.

Michelle great job! I learned something different from you.. love you and love your work!

If you place the paper towards the edge of the box prior to cutting then you would only need to cut two sides instead of 3… just helping hun xx xx

You can use the piece you cut off as a template rather than measure.. just a thought 🦋

I made my first junk journal after finding you last night! This tutorial is so easy to follow! Thanks so much for being easy to understand and not worrying about perfectionism. It makes it easier for beginners to not worry so much about making mistakes. My first journal turned out great! I’m excited to follow along and learn more. On a side note, I bought a sewing machine a couple years ago and used it twice. I do not know much about sewing but my adhd brain said I needed it. Do you have videos showing the sewing machine processes you use for making journals or just any sewing tutorials? I feel like I would understand your teaching style more than some other videos I’ve watched!

Great idea for new sew binding, thanks!

Thank you for showing how to do this no sew technique. I make signatures with a mix of art papers to take on holiday with me, so I have one ‘book’ with lots of options for using different mediums, this would be a great a way of compiling my travel sketches all together as I finish each signature.

The mold is the gourd curimg.process.... just dont bri.g them inside any living areas

Love this journal . Im glad i found you for this binding !

Thank you because I was considering getting one. But I simply can't afford it!!! I found a Japanese hole punch, only for a few dollars!!! 😊

You can make fun bird feeders too. And pour painting looks really cool: 1 cup, a bit of 4 different acrylic paints poured in one after the other, and then poured on the outside of the gourd letting it drip and run all over. A hair dryer helps the paint run all over too.

Thank you very much Michele. I very much appreciate you❤

Hi Michelle how do you decide what papers to put together for signitures? Thank you for all the info thus far

Awesome idea. Thank you very much

That is beautiful. Thanks for explaining what each piece was. I thought the long cylinder was a medicine bottle of sorts. But instead a pencil. Fabulous

l love it it looks lovely 2 me.

I loved your cardboard box journals and the tip to slip the signatures in with a simple snip.

Thankyou for showing no sew binding for signatures, to a complete newbie like me you made it achievable, thankyou ❤😊

This is really useful & informative! Thank you for sharing your process 😊❤

Lovely idea. Thanks for sharing a video. Somehow it feels as if your microphone was far away from you.

Very lovely journal! TYSM for sharing ❤

I do these journals, too. My son now gives me boxes from his food and says, "Here's another book" 😂

Good video but measurements help me with this kind of craft. And about how many sheets did you put in the spaghetti signatures?

Does the pen melt?

So cool and creepy! BOO YALL! 🎃

Oh my goodness! I love these so much! Thank. You, thank you so much for sharing your creativity. I'm a new subbie and so happy to have found your channel.💛

When I legally changed my name, I took Rae as my middle name.

Wow!! Such incredible detail! Thank you so much! Thanks for taking the time to create such a great video! I'm so excited to try out some of these dyes ❤❤❤

I love it ❤❤❤

That was so fun to watch. You’re giving great explanations and showing various techniques. Thank you so much

You mentioned something when the glue was all over your hand. I drop thing in my tea and make a total mess. 😅

I watched the three lovely videos of yours. I cannot tell you how much I learned as I am new. I bought so many things and watched videos however yours has been so lovely that I can say I can give it ago. You are a great teacher, easy to follow. I just would like to ask you about the three tools you were using to make these magnificent three holes with the little green thing what do you call them and where can I find them. Would be very grateful. Thank you for sharing. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

A mi no me resultó con mis recortes de imágenes. 😢

Thank you. Great idea!!!

Oh I love that tool, amazing 😮
