Aw thanks so much ☺️☺️
While sitting listening to a discussion at work (I work from home too), I was able to make one of these following your wonderful instructions. I can't wait for the day to end so I can commence decorating in it.❤ thanks Meg
Yay!
This is such an interesting way to make a journal. I’ve never seen it before. I love the clear front and back covers too.❤
Aw thank you!!
This is so fun! Just like everyone else in the comments, I'd never seen this sort of binding before and I tried it out yesterday. I think I'm in love. I used a bunch of papers from my grandparents old house, so it all has a very authentic old vibe 😜
Meg, this is a totally new style of journal that I have not seen before. Thank you so much for the fab tutorial and inspiration!!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely great! Never imagined this could be possible! Thank you for such a great idea! Love it! 😊
Wow! I have not seen this method before, and I really love it and must try it out! Thank you so much for putting together this video ❤️ And thank you for all the different tips and ideas ❤
Love this style of journal binding.
Simple but very different.
And the way you showed and talked it through was great.
Always, Thank You for sharing your talent. Glad to be a subscriber.
Great idea to put a book together I've never seen this method and want to try it
What a fun journal to make! The possibilities are endless! I learned so much, and even thought you could add another page, only glue the top and bottom and you'll have a pocket. I want to show this to my young nieces this process. They'll love it too! Thank you for sharing.
This is awesome! I love all your tutorials! ❤I can't wait to make a journal like this. :)
I like this way of making a junk journal❤
This is really impressive! I’ve made my first journal for Junk Journal July and I watched this video for inspo, but I’ve actually been improvising as I go! It’s messy but it’s cute 😂
Very cool binding
Definitely going to try this binding. Thank you
So unique. I love using plastic as a cover for the junk journal.
I just love this!!! Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing this, I'm looking for ways to attach individual pages without punching them so this gives me some ideas. The pages are already journal sized so I'm guessing I need some extra, folded, papers, to attach to my hinge first, then add my individual sheets. Can't wait to see how it comes out😊
This is very clever! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you like it! ☺️
Meg this is a great idea what a wonderful project
Thanks so much! 😊
Loving this idea!
Oh I love this idea Meg! So simple to make too! Definitely want to try this one ❤ I am now officially addicted to creating my own junk journals and sketchbooks lol 😄 TYSMFS
Go for it!
@@megjournals ❤👍
GENIUS!😮
🧚🏻♀️A great No Sew journal tutorial, thanks Meg!❤
Love this!
Great idea, I have lots of extra large sheet music , hinges it will be!
Love it! Thanks so much for sharing.
I was Not expecting it to go in that direction, what a fascinating construction!
Hehe thank you!! :)
@@megjournals actually i can't stop thinking about this method and the more i think the more advantages i find. Like - it combines the ease of making and bulk preventing nature of an accordeon with the more traditional look and flexibility of paper sizes of a bound journal. Since every folded page is it's own signature, you can get away with adding more things to it and it won't gape (yes i'm mentioning bulk twice, it's that important to me lol), BUT it doesn't get too monotonous with solid middle-signature one-sheet spreads one after another because this method almost mandates adding something to the middle to break them up. I need to make one of these asap i think i've just found a perfect way to make a journal!
Also, i just have to ask: is gluestick any good at holding that clear plastic sheet? It's so shiny and slippery, it looks like it'd need at least superglue to hold it
@@user-yo4gt1wn5s hope you have fun with it! there's definitely loads of different ways you can approach this binding method! as for the glue, it seems ok so far (tbh I swear by my pritt stick haha) but I might reinforce with some clear tape when I decorate it!
Wonderful easy idea thank you
I’m going to give this a try. Thanks for sharing!
Yay!! Have fun :)

Can’t wait to see 🥰
Very cool. Love it; not overly complicated but so open to being decorated in any way. Such cute little scissors; shows that you don't need much equipment to make this journal and still be impressive and I actually love the torn edges look. Lovely! I can think of a dozen ways to make that simple page binding even more decorative if one wished. P.S. Definitely going to make one, but it actually looks addictive so ... stocking stuffers coming right up... 🙂
Your tutorials are always inspiring, love this technique.will have to try it ❤
