It's October 1st and it's time to make Halloween crafts! Make sure to subscribe to my channel and click the "bell" icon to get weekly Bohemian style inspiration!
I love Halloween and I'm so excited that our normally, hot October actually feels like Fall, perfect time to decorate!!! Some day I'm going to Halloween-i-fy my whole studio just so I can have Halloween year round! I'll let you know when that happens.
This is a flip through of an accordion style junk journal with a Halloween theme for my Graphics Fairy design team project.
The story behind the journal unfolded as I was making it and apparently it belongs to an Eastern European gypsy witch, named Borka, who has a life long obsession with cataloging and collecting various butterflies and bugs. She is also a wiz with a needle and thread and keeps the art of embroidery alive, stitching ancient symbols and spells onto cloaks, alter cloths and coven attire.
The accordion book is from Daiso and I used it as a base to layer lots of Graphics Fairy premium membership images and digital downloads. I had to stop adding ephemera because it got to be toooooo chunky and I couldn't close it properly.
Next time I will cut off the binding and make it bigger.
I also added lots of vintage papers, coffee dyed paper, antique and new lace etc.
If you become a member of the Graphics Fairy Premium membership site, you'll have access to gobs of amazing images, downloads, tutorials, done for you digital envelopes, pockets, journal pages and more!

@DonnaVintageSnippets 5 лет назад

What a fabulous and absolutely darling journal. Wow! I am left wishing we had a Daiso store somewhere around here in Ohio! Your idea for using paperclips on a page instead of along the edges is brilliant. I don't think I have seen that idea before either. Loved the popsicle stick idea, too. They're very cute.

@robindudleyhowes 5 лет назад

Thank you Donna I appreciate your kind words. Daiso has a web site but I didn't see the accordion folder. www.daisojapan.com/

@robincarpenter7297 5 лет назад

Would be great to learn more about how you made the Halloween junk accordion file & who is daiso? never heard of them. Wonderful tutorial!

@robindudleyhowes 5 лет назад

Thank you Robin I will do a walk through sometime soon. Daiso is a Japanese store in S.California that is the equilvalent of a $1 store only most everything is $1.50 or more.

@chriswashburn9039 5 лет назад

Another wonderful journal and wow......love the popsicle stick bookmarks!!

@robindudleyhowes 5 лет назад

Thanks Chris! You just reminded me that I need to add the links to the gal who originally made them!

@memma22309 5 лет назад

Robin, would you be able to send a 13 digit barcode for the accordion? I know that’s asking so much of you, but I’d like to order some. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and gifts with us all. This journal is absolutely the BOMB! I wish I could afford to purchase from you. Blessings, Mary

@debbeshumaker1722 4 года назад

Be still my heart. This is amazing. I love Halloween more than any other holiday even more than my birthday and this journal is fabulous. Can’t wait to make one of my own.

Would love a tutorial on this type of journal. This is a wonderful piece, beautifully conceived and executed. Could you spell the brand name of the type of accordion book you used for this project, please? Thank you for sharing with us.

@robindudleyhowes 5 лет назад

Hi Retha thanks for watching and your kind comments. In southern California there is a store called Daiso and that's where I got the accordion book. They have a web site but I couldn't find the accordion book on it. here is the web site: www.daisojapan.com/default.aspx

@sadheart24 3 года назад

I’m drooling!! Love, love this journal. I’m headed to Graphics Fairy to sign up. Thanks for the inspiration. I would love to know what stamp that is at the end of the big spider with the big eyes. I’d love to have one of those!! Just wonderful.

@robindudleyhowes 3 года назад

Thank you so much I appreciate that. The large rubber stamp was from stamping up years ago I doubt they have it anymore💀🧙‍♀️🧛‍♀️🎃

@sadheart24 3 года назад

@@robindudleyhowes thanks for your quick reply. Now I’m loving the moon in the clouds stamp too. Any idea who made that one? I’m good at finding stuff. I found the above stamp on Etsy. 😉😉

@Shadypeanutlane 5 лет назад

Oh, okay... Seriously gone "batty" over this one! I would love a tutorial, for sure! I cannot find this kind of accordion folder. However, I think I could make one. Do you happen to have a tutorial to do that? I just love your channel... I love your little witch named Borka... I don't think I could part with this one... especially since you have such treasures and personal bugs in it... Hugs...

@robindudleyhowes 5 лет назад

Ha! I don't have a tutorial on an accordion journal but I may do one. Thanks for your kind words and for watching!

@mastersadvocate 2 года назад

Hi! It's 2022 now, and I've just found this wonderful video. I was Googling Halloween Junk Journals, and this video was among the ideas. I love Halloween, too, and really enjoyed watching this journal flip through! Robin, you are so imaginative, and I love the nifty Daiso accordion book that you used to make your Halloween Journal with! I don't think that kind of journal (Daiso) is available to North America anymore because of Covid problems, etc. But I'm a crafty person, and could make an accordion style book out of black cardstock, and some washi tape. Thanks for sharing your creation with us all! ~Janet in Canada

@michellebrown7000 5 лет назад

Robin, thanks for sharing so much inspiration with us! I’m not into Halloween, but many of the creative ideas are universal to JJ making. Great DT project. Have a spooktacular rest of the week!

@robindudleyhowes 5 лет назад

Thanks Michelle. I know Halloween isn’t for everyone so thank you for your kind comments😊

@63artemisia63 4 года назад

Where did you find the stamp with a cartoon spider on a web and “HAPPY HALLOWEEN”? It is fantastic! Just like your journal! You did a wonderful job. Did you say the bat wreath design you used in a couple of places was from a napkin? Just realized this is the third time I’ve watched your video. It always inspires me to start my Halloween designs 👏🏽👏👏🏼🤸‍♂️🎈🤸‍♂️🎈❤️💕

@kaysanford5065 Год назад

Hi Robin. I know you made this several years ago but I just came across your video and it is so beautiful! I would love to recreate it. I didn’t see where you said you got the keep calm tag on the front? I cant wait to make this one. XO

@christinetodd9817 Год назад

This is so beautiful. I really love it. You are super talented. I really love the insect section and the sewing. ❤

@karenbenson4639 3 года назад

Omg! How did I miss this video??? I don't sew but I collected bugs as a kid so I think that book should be mine! Right? ....huh? So cute!

@judyreed8513 5 лет назад

Oh my goodness it was fabulous I love Halloween kid did a great job and I need to know where I can buy the black sold out I've not seen one anywhere thank you

@robindudleyhowes 5 лет назад

YES! Do you decorate your house and dress up? I Do!!

@billiejoethomason6075 5 лет назад

I do decorate. JackO lanterns on my porch plus a wooden witch & ghost. Several wreaths on my doors, inside & out. Halloween decor on my mantle, coffee table, dining table & couple small tables around my living room & kitchen. Witches, potion books etc everywhere, including my mailbox & a crash witch on tree in front of house. I don’t dress up anymore because no trick or treaters out in my rural area.🎃👻💀🧙‍♂️🧛‍♂️🧟‍♂️

@Shadypeanutlane 4 года назад

I am back to watch my favorite RU-vid video of all time----- forever! I Love this little witch so much! Did you end up keeping her? If not, I hope the person who has her treasures her! I told myself not to watch this ==== again===== until October... ( I have rewatched her several times!)... Borka has become a household tradition. It seems like forever ago but only one year... Thank you for creating such magic...

@robindudleyhowes 3 года назад

Thank you Gayla, I'm so sorry I just saw your comment! I am so happy that Halloween is coming soon! Yes this adorable journal sold but I am planning on making more Halloween journals.
