3 Fast and Easy Pockets for Junk Journals - Perfect for Beginners 

I see this video was made 2 years ago. I want to thank you so much. I’m new to all of this at the age of 64 and these pockets are so easy to make for me now.

First time on your site but I subscribed right away for one thing because you got right to crafting . A lot times I watch crafters and they take forever it seems to start a tutorial. Also I love what you do . Can’t wait to try all these pockets . Thank you .

Theses are all so adorable! Thank you so much for sharing. Sometimes I feel like I overcomplicate what I want to do in my journals and that isn’t fun. These sweet easy pockets really help to get the creative juices flowing and they are fun to make.

Hello from America !!! Oh, my goodness, what a great project !!!! The other night I know I spent more than 30 minutes trying to remember how to do a triple fold pocket. But I was watching reruns of Criminal Minds and this guy was just killing everybody in sight, and not in a nice way, so instead of me blaming it on the fact that I'm old, and like my waistline, my memory isn't what it used to be, I chose to blame it on the fact I was distracted by all that killing !! My son says I'm not funny, so sorry. But I stopped the video, printed off a double sided sheet of paper and made the first pocket, but the larger first piece you fold, I cut that off about a half inch from the fold and glued that down, and then used the opposite pattern face up and glued it on the lower left hand front for another pocket -- but I'm over the moon on your circle pocket. That is so incredibly clever. I love how the little flaps fold over to become pockets, and then the cute little envelope pockets. I'd forgotten all about those. RU-vid just populated your channel right now for the first time, and for you having to suffer through my long winded comments, I liked and subscribed. Happy crafting. Thank you so much for uploading this video. and sharing. I'm working on a 4th of July journal right now, and putting these in there as flip outs, so you can have some secret journaling space behind it. I use circle stuff around the house to outline around, too. Years ago I paid like 15 dollars at Michaels for a Martha Stewart circle maker, and now they sell 'em for about two bucks on temu ..... Best regards, Patricia

Thank you!! I am working on my first junk journals as a gift. I put in, and filled, your first pocket yesterday. I will be making the pockets from circles too.

I'm in love with that paper you used for the circle one.

I AM a beginner and these ARE easy to do! But they look complicated like from a pro. Thank you so very much! I am looking forward to make some of my own 🙂

That second one is brilliant!

Live these ideas for pockets. When making circles, I love using my Martha Stewart circle maker. It is flexible allowing 4 inches to 12 inches and partial sizes in between. It is easy storing as well.

Thanks 😀👍🤩 I really liked the way you used the single sided pages. The small circles are adorable 🥰 😇🌷

These are wonderful!

How fabulous!! Tfs

New subbie here!! Thank you so much for sharing! I am going to try to make these.

Great pocket ideas and very nicely explained! Thank you for sharing and new subscriber here 👋

Hello - a new subscriber here. So nice to meet you. Your instructions are so easy to follow. I’m excited to start watching all of your videos. ❤️🤗

Thank you for the beautiful tutorial and I absolutely love that blue double-sided paper in the last envelope you made.

Wonderful video, I love all the pockets, and the paper you used is gorgeous, i love the ne with the flowers and dragon flies, the big circle you made. I would love to know whos paper it is. xxLorelle

They look so pretty all dolled up!! So what are the measurements of an A-4 sheet of paper? I don't want to ruin a nice piece of paper. I want to make the second pocket. Thank you. 😄 EDIT I can't figure it out on my cutting board.

Thanks so much for sharing, very inspirational especially as a novice! Love he paper on the second tutorial - can I ask where you got that from please? thank you again

Hello, new subscriber here. I very much enjoyed this tutorial. I am in the U.S., and our standard paper measures 8.5 x 11 inches instead of 8.25 x 11.75. My question is will I still be able to do the second pocket with that size paper.

😍

What are you using to ink the edges?

👏👏👏💞👍👍👍

Your paper is so pretty do you remember the name of the pages or maker do you know what country makes the paper I mean manufacture in???would they be available in usa????

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing. May I ask where you get the brush to ink the edges? I have looked online and cant seem to find it. Is there a specific name? Newbie here thanks in advance

Nice pockets and easy tutorial. I cringe when you used that nice book page as a glue mat. That diagram would make a cool pocket itself!

what kind of paper are you using? Is it card stock?

What is the ink and the sponge thing called? Is it available in the Philippines?

Nice video, always good to go back to basics for refreshers. However, it is *common etiquette in the crafting world to give credit where credit is due and, while you did mention Kylie's cutting tips for circles, you failed to give her credit for the inspiration for the circle pocket she was doing a tutorial on in the same video where you mentioned the cutting tips she shared which you subsequently shared.* It is my personal practice to not subscribe to those who are blatantly remiss in giving credit.

First time on your channel. Love the pockets you made. Sorry to complain but the audio as very poor. For us older folks we just can't hear well anyway. But I will be back.

I won't watch anything titled "fast and easy" ... it's an insult to the true artists who put their time and effort and skills into making works of art.

Love these pockets!
