Aww thank you! You are so kind! I am much better now :) but next time I will certainly take your advice 🩷

@@wildandfreeart haha^^ thats good to hear ;)

Thank you so much! Hope you give it a go!

That might be a good idea. I think this was just cheap coloring from the discount store so probably not the best quality either!

Thanks! It is hard to control yourself though - when you are packing there are a lot of what if questions that pop up so you keep adding more stuff 😂

@@wildandfreeart exactly!

Give it a go! It won’t hurt to try and will save your from wasting the leftovers :)

lol you should crack it out to experiment! I’m sure I will figure it out eventually 😂

@@wildandfreeart might well do and tag you in the disaster video 😜

Oh do it!!! 😂

Yes! On walks, I got some feathers from a friend who has a parrot and one who has chickens but most come from going on walks or even in my back yard!

I once found a peacock feather in a park/zoo 🥰

Yes zoos are another great place!

@@wildandfreearthow do you paint the little fluffy ‘Angel’ wing feathers, please?

So happy you liked it!! Thank you so much for watching 🩷

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch!

Yes! I have used this technique now to make a ton of other storage but figured sharing that might be a bit much 😆

You are so welcome! I hope you have fun painting them!

Thanks so much 🩷

It is called slipknot binding - I made a tutorial on it in the video before this one, but you can just search as there are plenty of videos out there I am sure! It is great for single page binding and super easy to do too!

Thank you! 😊

Thanks so much!

I am truly sorry I need to clearly improve my camera skills - I will try and make a short that shows a close up of how it works! Hopefully that will help!

I think Junk Journals are a wonderful way to be creative without beeing an "Artist" :) Its a really freeing and loose way of beeing creative

@sharbee8033 thank you so much for your kind words!! You don’t need to be an “artist” to be a creative! Give it a go and I am sure it will be beautiful because you made it 🩷

I absolutely agree with you!

I couldn’t see at all how she made the knots how did you watch it and see? Does she have another one or something? I would absolutely love to learn how to do this girl, if you have anyway I can see and learn how would you please share with me. Thanks a million friend.

I can make one for you! I kind of let the quotes guide me in this one - but I would be happy to make a dedicated video for this type of page !

Oh dear! Clearly my filming skills are in dire need of help! That or I need more space! I’m glad you were still able to understand - and hope you give it a go!

You are so welcome! 🤗

Thank you ☺️ it is great to find someone with a similar style isn’t it?

Give it a try! I don’t see why it wouldn’t work! Might make it softer too! Would love it if you shared your results!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much!! I hope you give it a go ☺️

So happy it helped give you an idea for how to use them!!

Thanks so much Peg!!

I agree! Most of my journals are super simple because I feel that the person who gets it is going to want to make it their own!

Thank you so much for watching! I do have a process video for how I made the binding of this journal - it is the video I posted the other day, right before this one, if you want to give it a go!

Thank you so much sari 🩷

Yep!! I hope you enjoy using them - while sipping on a cool glass of iced tea!

You’re welcome 😉

You are so welcome! It really is such a beautiful surprise to see when that happens!!

Exactly!! They are just too cute!

Nothing to be scared about! Think of it as a surprise 😳

Thanks for taking the time to watch 🩷

So glad this was helpful! I do have a few other experiments coming up actually - I will be sure to film them and see what happens!

Thanks so much for watching! Looking forward to seeing your results!

Sounds like you live in my dream place!!

Yes exactly!! Don’t be afraid to give them new life!

Thank you! 🤗

Hello! Ok I will do my best to reply! Starting with the essential oils… tea tree oil (aka meleluca) and clove oil are both anti fungal and so used in preservation. Differently from cooking oils, essential oils are not fats that can go rancid - they are extracts of a plants medicinal qualities created through distillation I believe. So in theory you shouldn’t have that problem! Second water proofing - yes I should have said water resistant! I think the only thing that is truly water proof is plastic 😂 the barrier created by the wheat paste stops the glue from seeping through the book cloth when you add it to your chipboard. It also makes it stiffer so it is easier to lay flat etc. and in theory if you do take you book outside and it gets some rain on it it should be fine! I hope I haven’t actually tried sticking a book in the rain yet!

Oh my! I am so sorry! I didn't get notified that you replied to my message! I am now making my own cloth with your video as a tutorial. Thank you very much for your very indepth reply :)

Oh thanks so much! I love having you as my biggest fan 🩷

Congratulations on this new journey of yours!! Was lovely to get to know a little more about you! See you next time ❤

I’ve been wanting to do a commonplace book too! I think that might be my next project! Would love to see yours if you do a dedication book!

@@wildandfreeart Haha what a coincidence! You have to share it with us when you are ready :) i am not on social Media so i think thats difficult. But maybe i will blow the dust off of my Instagram acc ;) Your Video fits so well because i just bought 4 books full of quotes from around the world, from a second hand shop (the best source for interesting books) They are not dedications but i could surely use them in a similar fashion or in my common place book

lol yeah o guess that’s true! But for me it is the process I enjoy - certainly store bought paper is a lot easier to use!!

Thanks so much 😍

❤️

Thank you!! I love that hashtag too!

Thanks so much my lovely!

Thanks so much! And for taking the time to watch ❤️
