This is my favourite type of 'flow' journal with either different types of media paper or scrapbooking paper. Easily to remove and work on/ with. You can always create a more permanent journal for finished art if desired.
Awwww thank you for coming back and letting me know that it worked for you. I've just finished doing a 6 X 6 one....with masterboard signatures...video coming soon. Happy creating. K
Love this idea💡 and I have so many napkins also. Also the different size and quality papers is a great idea. Definitely gonna make this. Thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful! I will be making another cover to fit the 6 X 6 signatures. I did buy some thicker elastic though and will be stringing it through a little tighter to make things more snug.
Karen I love this idea but couldn’t quite follow how you threaded the elastic binding. So if you do another one for the 6x6 could you do it as a video and show us the binding again please? Great idea as always!
Love the way you weave the elastic. Just what I was looking for instead of long on the outside like I’ve seen. I plant to add a 4th signature to use all 4 available bands. Your closure idea is perfect. I’m making a mixed media journal fabric covered.
Thanks for sharing. I just did a much smaller cover and used fabric but I love the idea of the copy paper and napkin. I'll do that next . Have a super fantastic day. Sending love and big hugs Sherry ❤
12:40 with those punched holes in the spine, could you use those hole protector thingies? (don't know the right name, but I've seen them in office supply stores); Or even another small round piece of card/heavier paper punched out, a hole in the centre of that, and glue those over each punched hole to protect the edges? (reinforcers?)
Give it a try. They would reinforce. I have never made this before and once I start to use it I will find out if reinforcement is necessary. If you think it needs it nothing will be effected if you do.
