Envelope TRANSFORMATION! Easy DIY Idea and Tutorial 

I think this is one of the most clever uses of a large envelope I have ever witnessed! You knocked it out of the ballpark with this one, Natasha.

Hello! I enjoy making anything out of an envelope. No idea why-I just like them. Have a great day everyone!!! Hi Banjo! 😊😊😊😊😊

What is fascinating about watching Natasa's creative process is the fact she is a very precise ,perfectionist, engineering almost mind set but at same time she is very artistic , very creative with a great sense of shape , colours and dimensions .To find sense in a chaotic pile of papers is not an easy task 🤦‍♀I know that because I am librarian , chaos is my enemy lol Crafting as a therapy is the best gift anyone can give to others and that's how I see Natasa's generosity of sharing her talent and time with us . Definitely I would create something like that for myself because I love beads , bling bling and colours and I simply love the idea itself . I am in need of sort of catalogue where to glue the labels or bits of the package of the main items I go shopping , such food , cleaning products , personal hygiene ,baking /freezing bags , etc . I intent to turn them in some sort of stickers .I want to create a laminated board where to stick them on and that to be my shopping list .When I am done shopping all stickers go back to their respective page . Natasa's journal bag it is the perfect solution where to keep my laminated board and the book of stickers . If that makes any sense 🙃 I would have had asked Natasa to help me to envision this idea only I didn't wanted to bother her with my silly things . So this tutorial was the answer to all my prayers lol Thank you Natasa , you did it again ! Fabulous , doable project as always . Many thanks to the fellow subscriber that sent the gift that inspired her to create it .

You are a fantastic teacher

I love it. I love watching your videos, you’re a great teacher and have a brilliant sense of humour. Thank you.

I love the Sundays because your creations !! Is my day off and I love to do what you teach me ! Thanks 🙏

I couldnt sleep and got up at 4:30 this morning, made a cup of coffee, and started binge watching your videos! Now it's almost 10 and here's a new video! Yay! Looks like another fun project, I'm thinking my granddaughters would love to have a notebook purse :) thanks Natasa!

I will be going to a three day spiritual convention. This will be fun to take notes in. Also collect names and emails of new friends I meet. Thanks for the idea. Wasn't sure what I was going to do this year.

Не перестаю восхищаться Вашими работами и Вашей фантазии!! Вы для меня непревзойденный учитель!!!! Большое спасибо за Вашу работу и доброту!!!!♥♥♥♥

I haven't done any jj work in months, but as always, when your videos appear in my feed,I find it so inspiring, ❤I would love to make this to jot down my crochet ideas❤ thank you so much🤗

What a lovely handbag journal. You always use the best combination of paper and beads along with some bling !

Miniature!!!! I can recreate this in miniature for my Doll 🥰☺️😍 thank you for sharing

I am making this cutie as soon as I can! At present, I am working on the 42 pocket altered book journal. Almost ready to decorate! I have been taking time to let the glue dry as I finish a few pages.You cannot imagine how much joy you bring to my crafting life! Thank you for the inspiration and chuckles!

You are the best! Who would of thought to create that adorable journal out of a manilla envelope. Wow cool sounds when you cut the paper. I said it once & I'll say it again Natasha is the best!

This is a great project 👍 to finish fairly fast for those times when the mojo is lacking and one needs a good picker upper 🙂Thank you 🙏 for keep the inspiration flowing...

Gives such a special feeling; beautiful self-care and purposefulness throughout you day; like a companion

Hi Natasa, your beautiful ideas are endless, I love all your envelope projects and make many of them. Thank you so much and have a great time, Love, Gerlinde

Hello Natasha, I have been watching you for a while, but have never commented until today. I have been journaling for a few years now, but still consider myself a learner. In today's tutorial, you did a few things that I wanted to thank you for. The first is easy. Thank you for being an Aussie! Love to support my own, but love my other ladies from around the world too. Then, I love the way you finish off your work. You call it being a perfectionist, I call it beautiful. I know many people like the look of the hanging strings etc, but to me that just looks untidy, sorry to those who love that look, but we are all different and I love and always do the same as you Natasha, but never thought to pull the threads through and tie them off. I had also never heard of the "S" knot and love it and will start using it in my next journal. Thank you for sharing.

What a fun project! A very nice way to enjoy my Sunday morning.

It’s my favorite creator!!!! Another great and unique project!

Another great project. I love it! Thank you, Natasha, for, once again, sharing your creative genius with us.

Absolutely beautiful Natasha! I love everything about this project, use of envelope, pockets, beads etc. The process, as always is very easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your creative process with all of us; truely inspiring. Your book sits @ my craft station and also serves as inspiration and reminds me that nothing is impossible. Sending ❤ hugs to you & Banjo🐶

I absolutely love your ideas. I look forward to your videos every Sunday. I have tell you also how much I love your book! I always have it in reach when making my journals. Your book is a treasure ! A big Hello from British Columbia, Canada.

I look foreword to your videos every week and have so many of them saved for reference. Thank you for sharing your talents, ability and imagination.

What a great journal. I’m glad to learn to tie that knot at the end of the beads as I’ve tied knots before and they aren’t up close to the beads. So helpful to know to use the poky tool. I noticed the beads on the handle because I am OCD so I was glad you saw it. LOL! TFS! ❤

I so enjoy watching your videos, I have learned so much and crated many items inspired by you. I have nicknamed you the "Heidi Klum" of crafting, I mean this in the best way, as watching your videos is like watching Art and Fashion come alive. And yes you are as beautiful as Heidi. Thank you for all the inspiration.

First, I LOVE your nails! 😍🥰 Second, I LOVE this idea! 💖 It's extremely useful and handy to take with you! Also, it's gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this with us Natasa 💕

I live in the National Forest with my two Support Dogs. When on walks with my dogs I see so much trash people throw along the Trees, Bushes, beautiful Wild Flowers and into our Streams etc. It’s horrific! Me & my Support 🐕 Dogs, walk these roads, paths and as we do, I have my backpack and clean up ‘ Garbage people with no care toss out the windows of their cars’. Change starts now! If I can do it and I am Disabled with my Hero Support Dogs then we All Can 😊❤ Let’s do it together! Special Thank You!, for this amazing video to bring awareness and project fun! Love it!❤🌿♻️ Recycle & Reuse

When I watch videos I find myself watching others but stop in the middle of video and leave looking for your videos even if I watched them several times. I don’t always see your new ones, I did notice in one you weren’t talking. I love watching you and listening to you. So much I want to do but don’t seem to have the energy to do it. Lost my, I don’t know what to call it.

Love the idea of the notebook purse. Something you can use. I go over my sisters weekly for crafts, and that would be such a nice purse to bring. I may try to come up with some way for enclosing money. Got to play with the idea. Thank you for such a beautiful project ❤

What a great, simple and inspirational idea to transform a simple large envelope that would surely go in the trash, in a beautiful and even elegant junk-journal. Thanks for sharing and for being so humble when saying that the idea didn’t come from you but from a gift of one of your followers 😊. For that and much more, you, Natasha, are one of my favorite scrapbooking artist/teachers.

I love this so much. Thank you Natasha - you have given me the perfect idea for the huge assortment of beads that I don’t use!!!!

I love this! I actually have an envelope that's all folded and ready for the right project, so I'll try this one out. While I have a ton of beads, unfortunately most of them have tiny holes, so I'll have to see if I want to use them to make a handle. I was thinking it might be better to make the inside pockets before adding the closure parts so that it's easier to smooth down the paper when gluing, without a bump. I confess I was sorry that you covered most of the pretty orange flowers on the back up with the grey, rather than making more pockets from the flowered paper! Ah, well, each to her own. Nicely done! Thank you for another great tutorial!

Brilliant!! Very inspirational. I do actually really love the bead board. It allows you to lay out your beads and see if you like the way they look. I probably wouldn’t go out and buy one, but now that I’ve seen it in use, I would probably pick one up at a thrift store if I saw on. 😊❤

Another beautiful design.. almost makes me want to go and buy beads to make a handle.. but my craft room needs no more supplies..

As always I love it! I don’t think there is anything you create that I don’t like. Thank you Natasa!

Hermoso trabajo.Soy tu fiel seguidora y veo todos tus videos.Son muy agradables .Un gran abrazo desde MIAMI

What you did with the large envelope is genius, love it🩷🪻💙

Bellissimo progetto. Guardarti lavorare è un piacere. E anche sentirti ragionare e modificare il progetto mentre lavori. Grazie mille .😁👍👍👍❤

Natasa, this is another great idea. It is a perfect gift idea. Blessings

WOW, that is just the cutest little handbag for shopping. Thank you so much for sharing your idea. ❤❤

So, so cute! I liked the accordion pouch as an insert. I'd use it for coupons. Its like a big wallet for a tote bag! TFS🤗

Wonderful idea! Well done and easy to follow tutorial. Great craft fair item. Thank you😍

I love the colors you chose. The blue looks almost like denim. ❤

Wow 😮 that is beautiful natasa once again you seem to amaze me with such beautiful stuff you make thanks for sharing ❤ and like always you seem to inspire me 😊

I love this! Great idea to add the back pockets and "grocery list". Thanks for sharing 😊

Natasha you are one amazing crafter!!!! You are the "QUEEN"!!! 💜💜💜

You never cease to amaze me with your creative ideas!

What great construction instructions! Thank you Natasa! I made a variation of this for a travel folio last year and I love the versatility of these envelopes! Of course, your classy style is so inspiring! 🙂👍

I just dyed several of the large envelopes today, so now to pick out some matching paper and get started! 🙂 Great idea, love it!! 💜💜💜

I love your creativity! I can't wait to get to my craft room and replicate this journal!!! Unfortunately, my craft room is downstairs and I've recently had knee replacement surgery. So it'll be a few weeks before I can play again. But....an incentive to work hard on PT and negotiate those stairs asap!

I am goin to take shower, dress and go out and get all supplies to make this DROP DEAD GORGEOUS tote❤❤❤

I’m going to make a purse for my sister. It’s will be a thank you gift. 🎁

So fun and practical 👏👏 hope you havent blown away 🥰 lots of love from Arctic Norway and the Midnight Sun is on🤪🥰🍀🏵️🌸🌺

Such a cute purse journal.

Great idea!!! I LOVE EVERY one of your videos!!! You NEVER disappoint!! TFS!! Austin TX USA

I love this! I'd definitely make this book reusable by tucking the page into the cover, creating pockets at the back so when you fill up the pages, you can easily replace them but this is so nifty! Amazing 👏🏻 🤩

Ok Natasha, DO YOU EVERRRRRRRRRR SLEEP? yOU ARE THE MOST CREATIVE PERSON i HAVE EVER SEEN. I am screaming at the top of my voice. BEAU TI FUL, excellent idea. Thanks for sharing again.

I can't wait to make this and use it for my next cruise! Just LOVE it!

I can't imagine the bead collection you have. It must be enormous! I love your ideas!

My goodness Natasha another cutie. I love this so much and I may just give this a go. It is just gorgeous and I do feel inspired. Thank you so much for all your marvellous ideas. I really appreciate your time and effort. ❤🙏🤗💐🇨🇦

Thanks for the brilliant idea Natasha ❤ very cute. I love your video's ❤😊

Natasa you are so creative! I will never be bored with all your projects on my ever-growing list of projects to do. Now I'll have to live over 100 yrs! LOL

Adorable, as everything you do. 12:33 as you are excited about that beading needle, I was exited yesterday to discover how to properly use my ‘1 oz/30ml Needle Tip Squeeze Glue Bottles’ I got on amazon (reasonably priced, often used by quillers). It is sold with the closure that did not work for me at all, glue hardened in the needle, making the bottles unusable. Yesterday I decided to try a pin for closure, same way how Art Glitter Glue’s tip extension is being closed. And now the bottles work perfectly. I use them with all 3 glues I have -- clear school, tacky and PVA (white). So happy! This allows me to skip glue sticks (I do not like their messiness) and apply only tiny bits of glue exactly where it is needed. So that was the best ever thing for me.

Natasa, I love this so much!! What a stunning presentation with that gorgeous, beaded handle! I’m going to make some of these in a Christmas theme as a shopping planner! Thank you so much, as always, for the lovely inspiration!! 👍🏼👏🏼😍

I LOVE this idea!!! Thank you for sharing your magnificent talents with us!!

I love this purse. Brilliant. Very good idea for the alternative one as well. TFS

I have not seen the S knot, I like that idea. Cute idea for the big envelope!

Love this idea!

😱 Fabulous! I can’t wait to make one or two (maybe 3) of these! You are so clever and creative! Thank you foe this amazing inspiration! Hugs 🤗❤️

I absolutely Love this little clutch journal ❤️ TFS 😊

Great project, Natasha. Thanks for sharing. Sending big hugs Sherry ❤❤❤

I love this. I must make this. I have not crafted for a minute, but this will definitely do the trick. I loved your little drama clip 😂 your hilarious.

Love love love ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely stunning Natasha..! ⚘️ 💜💜

What a nice piece of happy mail! I love how yours turned out. This would make sweet gifts for bride’s maids, or guests at a certain ladies event, or any number of things. I like the idea of keeping it in the car and using it in my travels! Oooo! Or in my camper, for a nature journal! Your videos are fun, we’ve been having severe weather here in Texas too. Your drama queen moment made me laugh! So entertaining. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

You can't go wrong with gold!

This certainly has to be every woman's answer to the dilemma of trying to keep everything together. " A notebook for all things at all times. Brilliant Natasha! 😂 ❤ 😂

Such a lovely project Natasa, I absolutely love it. thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Amazing! Love all of your ideas/projects! Practical and beautiful. I am in the process of setting up a new craftroom and will sit down and work my way through your projects. So glad I found you!

Hi Natasha! I love this idea! I’m currently making my nieces, who just graduated high school, junk journals to carry off to college. I thought what a neat gift to document their first year at school and away from home. And most of my ideas have come from you! Thanks so much for explaining and showing everything so well. See ya next time! Have a good week! ❤️💜💚

How fun, love this idea Natasha! ❤

As usual, Natasha, you outdo yourself. I love every video that you put out. It always inspires me to want to rush home and try out this wonderful activity. It looks so wonderful thank you for all the effort you put in to inspiring all of us.

Super cool. What a great idea. best use of an envelope.

I love this! I have bad shoulders and carry as light a purse as possible so I’m going to make credit card slots in mine!

Love creating with envelopes! This is a great project with new ideas! Already got my envelope out, ready to get started! TFS 🤗🕊️

I'm an organizer freak and love anything blingy!! THIS will be the perfect item to keep on my desk for notes, lists..etc!! LOVELY!! Thank you for sharing!❤🥰

Love it

I watch your videos every time a new video comes out. You are amazing. Really love this one and have made many of your projects. Great job and God bless you 🥰👍🇱🇷

Natasa!!!!! Guess what!!!! I FINALLY bought your book!!!! I wish I was in your country, close to you, so I could get you to sign it for me!!!! Anywho, I am in love with the purse journals!! I Have to try making one of those!! Thank you for teaching me new things!!!

This would be very cute in miniature for a paper doll to carry. It would be very interactive. Also I have a little friend coming to visit at the end of the month, she might love to carry this. I would make it the same size or a bit smaller for her.

Thank you very much for a lovely project Natasa.

Perfectionism and drama queen go hand in hand! I just love the ways in which you do everything ! ❤👍

This is so nice! Brilliant idea! I’ll have to save this video and give this a try as well as share the video with crafty friends and family. Thanks for sharing your talent and creativity! 🌹🌹🌹

I have thoroughly enjoyed this video so so much ❤. I have made 5 of them. All your videos inspiring and beautifully made. Thank you for making them and sharing them with us.

From the mundane to the magnificent! Of course, I expect nothing less from you, Natasa.
