- Use double-sided tape to make this amazing trim that you can use in so many ways. Your junk journals have never looked so good! And we can all salute my friend Connie, who gave me this idea - she's a crafter extraordinaire!

If you’re looking for more junk journal ponderings…. Last summer, I made a limited-series podcast about all my deep thoughts regarding junk journaling. It’s free on the Spotify app! Search for “Ordinary Paper” or link here:
podcasters.spo...
Note that in the first episode, I mention that I was doing a podcast because I didn’t think I had enough ideas for a CZcams channel. Things (happily) went a different way, so ummm, never mind on that!
It’s cute to cut the fabric a bit bigger and fray the edge after sticking the tape down
What a fabulous idea! I love a frayed edge. I will definitely do this - thanks for watching and sharing, I appreciate you!
Love this tutorial. Simple and effective! I especially love the idea of using it as a hinge. I’m thinking of tab binding books. Many thanks. ❤
Ooooooo, tab binding - I've never tried that - you're inspiring me to give it a go! Thanks for the inspiration!
I was thinking the same thing!
Every time I think "oh, I don't need to save this video to my playlist, I'll just look it up when I feel like making this" I get SO MANY good ideas of how to use it I'm clicking the "save" button pretty darn quick. What fantastic uses!! Thank you!
PS - Yes please show the lined envelopes...
You're making me chuckle, Judy, thank you! I feel very honored to be part of your "save" playlist!
What fun was this!!! Thanks, again, Anne. Tell Connie your sister loved it!! This is a winner!!! Xoxoxo
You were up early watching this, dear sister! So glad you liked it. I'm lucky to have crafty friends AND sisters! Love you!
This is so fun! Thank you and Connie for sharing. I have a ruler stencil so I’m going to try stenciling on muslin, then make tape out of it🤞
Yes to the lined envelopes.
Oh, wow, what a terrific idea - stenciling on muslin! Now you have me thinking of even more ideas, too - thank you so much for sharing!! Isn't this fun! I honestly just love it - thanks for watching!
Stamping on fabric then Inktense colour them works too 🫶
What a great way to make tapes. I got a 2 inch wide 3m double sided at a yard sale for 1$. Ive used a lot. But i think i will be using it for this now. Tfs. Thank you to whoever Connie is too!!😊
Wow, what a great yard sale find! So glad you're going to try this! Connie is my dear, dear friend who lives in Tennessee. Thanks for watching!
What a brilliant idea! In addition to the great ideas presented, I’m thinking it would be great to use as a journal spine decoration and reinforcement. Thanks so much Connie and Anne!
Oh, what a super idea about reinforcing a spine with this - a terrific way to add strength AND beauty! Thank you so much! I so appreciate your watching!
So simple. Love it and it's such fun to follow along with you.🤩
Best to bond both sides of the envelope to keep it in place, not use cornstarch to hide sticky. Without extra tape it will slide too much. 😊
Yes! Thank you!
This is a really great idea. I am a quilter also, but my bible journals will be adorned as well. Thanks to you and Connie.
You are so welcome! Yours will turn out great, I know! Thanks for watching!
Love love this fabric tape!
Oh, Irene, I'm so happy you liked it! I appreciate your watching, thank you!
Anne, this is fantastic! How wonderful to have fabric tape when making journals. Our journals are essentially books. The cloth gives a more bookish feel.
I am very grateful for this video. I'm going to look for a quality double sided tape. I think I will check out Home Depot.
Many thanks again! ❤
Julie, I love that we can trade ideas so easily! I've been looking at my stencils lately and thinking I need an upgrade to get some like yours! Thank you, friend!
Wow! Great idea Anne. I'm thinking it might also be used to make hinged bound journal pages & to enhance book spines. TY for sharing. xo
That's a great idea! Thanks for the additional inspiration, I appreciate it!
This is a great idea. TFS Anne. ❤
You are so welcome, and thank you for watching - I appreciate you!
This is brilliant! Thanks for showing us.
My pleasure! So glad you watched, thank you!
I love this idea!!!!!
Thanks, Pam, I hope you try it soon!
Anne this is really neat, thanks for sharing and passing on the tips from Connie!
You are so welcome! I'm delighted you enjoyed this project! Thanks for watching!
Thanks anne with an e for another fun video and thanks to Connie as well😊❤
Thanks, dear Suzy with a Z! Glad you had fun with me and my bestie!
I enjoyed this video. I don't have strips of fabric, so I'm going to try it with ribbon. Thanks!
Ribbon would be fabulous, Debra!
Love this idea! I have loads of fabric scraps ... now, to get the tape.
Have fun! Thanks so much for watching!
Wonderful tip! Dollar Tree sales strips of fabric this would be perfect for! Thank you so much! ❤
Oh, Gwen, what a SUPER idea - especially for anyone without much of a fabric stash - that's just terrific, thank you for sharing the idea! And thanks for watching!
Good morning!☀️ I have so much scrap material, now I know what can be done with it. Thank you so much for sharing this great idea. Yes I would love to see how you line envelopes. Thank you Connie! 🌻🎶🎵
Thank you so much! Yes, even a little bit of scrap fabric can add a lot to a page! Have fun, and I'll definitely show the tricks on lined envelopes soon. It doesn't have to induce headaches! Thanks for watching!
Awesome tutorial, my mind is exploding, thanx for the inspiration 😀
So glad, Debra - I know you'll have great fun with this stuff! It's so useful! Thanks for watching!
Just found you. WOW. I love fabric and incorporating same into my junk journals. Brilliant idea. A great “tutorial.” Thank you! 😊
Welcome! I'm so honored that you would spend part of your day with me - do enjoy this and other projects, and thank you SO much for joining me here! I really appreciate it!
Oh yeah 🎉 I have fabrics too. 😅 I can even see using the leftover small bits in clusters and on Master boards. Anne and Connie for the win. 🏆
Thanks, Pam - and great idea to add to collages, clusters, MBs, etc. I just used a scrap as a pull top for a tag, as well, folded over on itself. Have fun with yours!
Pull tab great idea 💡
This is great -and the score tip makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate it!
Omgosh I'm in love w that idea!! Now I'm going to Amazon immediately for that tape lol
Ugh more supplies. But I like that I can make these myself.
I know Tim holtz has fabric tape. But I think his is a lil expensive for me at least ( nothing against Tim holtz, I love his stuff!)
But seriously thank you for sharing this video ❤
Thank you so much, Shawn! Yes, I've seen Tim's tape as well - lovely - but oh my. I feel like he has so much of my money already! But he does inspire us! Hope you try this soon, have fun with it!
Anne thanks so much for making this...thanks Connie...LOVE THE FABRIC TAPE! Will order the roll to make some....❤❤❤❤B
Thank you, Brian! That added texture just seems to make things sort of touchable, doesn't it? Hope you have a terrific weekend!
I use the tape on the fabric with flowers and fussy cut the flowers so i have fabric flowers to add to projects.
What a brilliant idea! Thanks so much for sharing!
I do Cartonnage with fabric. This is a wonderful idea for added embellishment.
Thank you so much! I hope it comes in handy for you. I had to look up cartonnage as I'd never heard of it before - how interesting! Thank you for watching!
Great way to use scrap fabric. So may fun ways to use it too!
Thanks for watching - have fun making yours as well!
Thanks for sharing and yes would like to see the envelope idea!
Thanks so much, Margaret! You can find more on the lined envelopes here:

Thanks so much for watching!
I'm thinking using up a bit of my stash and making gift tape for presents. ❤
I think it's a fabulous idea for a present - as you know, that's how I got my first batch, as Connie knew exactly what I'd like for my birthday! You have lucky crafty friends, Lynne - they'll love their fabric tape (and they'll love YOU!)
Just sending your video to friends now. Xxxxx
Hi Anne! That´s a great idea! Thanks to you and Connie for sharing! I would love to see the lined envelopes.🙏🌹🌹
Thank you so much! I will definitely make lined envelopes soon, they can be so easy with a couple of little tricks! Thanks for watching, as always - I really appreciate you!
@@annekenlon Thank you so much! I always love your tricks!☺☺😍😍
Yes on the envelopes! This was really fun! Great idea to use up a bunch of that material in boxes we can't part with!
Right?! I have so many scraps and strips of fabric that are perfect for this, too. Thanks for watching, and have fun making your own!
When you used the fabric tape from Connie the other day, I knew I wanted to try it. I have some leftover carpet tape now and will try that.
I think this option for placing the tape and fabric together might work. If you’re measuring the lengths of the tape with the fabric, take off about 1/2” more of the tape. From both ends of the tape, peel off about 1/4” of the backing (one at a time) and secure the sticky side to the mat. This places the sticky side up when ready to place the fabric. By removing a little bit of the backing at a time and adhering the fabric, there might be better control. Plus you can rest a hand or object on the backing if needed to steady the process. Pulling the backing off all at once would probably cause the tape to jump toward the fabric and make a mess. I thought of this because I thought of collaging fabric onto the tape. Adhering a fabric snippet with stitching would be cool and fun. Like you said, a ton of “applications”.
I got a rotary cutter back in my card making days c. 1996. You betcha to be careful. I deckled a finger when I was changing out blades. Something I’m still quite wary of doing! I think the basic blades came w it and I purchased extra back then. I ended up w a cutting, scoring, perforating, deckle, victorian and wave blade. I recently remembered to USE them. I’m still iffy about managing the blades.
I have my mother’s quilting and tailoring rulers. Some of the quilting ones (right?) have slots for cutting things. I haven’t used them yet- they’re intimidating when ya don’t know what to do with them besides a straight edge!
Oh yeah, I was wanting to tell you no! Turn the fabric over! 😂. And when you picked ticking I wanted the paisley and paisley I wanted the cherry fabric. But they turned out just fine. 😅. Did you put a thumb Mitch - who is “Mitch”?!! I typed “notch”! in the plaid?
I hadn’t thought about the difficulty of lining envelopes w book pages, so yeah- that envelope looked great and worked nicely in the journal whose video I need to completely watch!
And the cover to that journal sure looked leathery! Fine job w the stitching!
Okay 🧐 is that “it”? 😂
Enjoyed the vid and discussion. Thanks also to Connie!
❤❤
What great ideas on the carpet tape! The adhesive is really strong on that stuff, but careful handling could help avert problems! No, I didn't put a thumb notch in the plaid strip - I usually do with pockets, but didn't think my circle punch was up to the challenge. Thanks for watching, as always!
@@annekenlon ❣️
Thanks again Anne! I’m going to make this from some of my mother’s clothes. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next.
Oh, Dayna, what a precious idea to preserve something from a loved one with a scrap of fabric like this - I have some of my dad's denim overalls, now you just gave me the idea to use a scrap in a memory journal. How lovely! THANK YOU!
Hi Anne! I’ve had luck with double sided sticky paper, putting patterned paper on one side, run through my die cut machine, creating a “sticker” of sorts! Stampin’ Up has some, but I’m sure it can be found other places, too.
Great idea, I’ll try it! Thank you!
I have been doing that for a wile and it is great to had some pieces in happy mail 😀Merci 😊
Wonderful idea to add to happy mail! Merci, LouLou!
Anne! Can’t wait to do this! On my way to Amazon for the tape.
Look out, Amazon, here she comes! Do have fun - and thank you so much for watching!
I would like to see lined envelopes. I can’t wait to make fabric tape. Thank you and thank Connie.
Lined envelopes coming soon! Thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate you!
Great idea. Love it!
Thank you! 😊
This is a great idea! I would like to see how to make your envelopes. Looks really nice!😊TFS!
Coming soon! Thanks for watching!
Great idea that I'm going to use today! Yes, please show us how you do your lined envelopes.
Will do!! I may film that tomorrow to air next week. In the meantime, thank you SO much for watching this one, I really appreciate it!
Love this. Your video just came up. I subscribed so I don't miss anything going forward. After looking at your list of past videos a lot has caught my curiosity. Thank you. 🤗
Lynda, how kind of you to tell me this - thank YOU so very much! I'm delighted you have joined me here!
Just discovered you! Love this and oh my do I have fabric to use. Thank you for sharing.
Welcome, fellow Anne with a E! So glad you are here! Thanks for watching and have great fun making your fabric tape! I use it much more than I ever imagined I would!
OMG 😱 what an absolutely fabulous idea. Thank You so very much for sharing this. Love it 💜💜💜
You are so welcome! I'm really happy you enjoyed it!
Bonitos elementos.
Gracias por compartir y regalar momentos de alegrías.
Trini, siempre eres tan amable. ¡Gracias por su apoyo, lo aprecio!
@@annekenlon Y usted una gran amabilidad al atenderme, gracias
Thx for sharing!
Thank you, Tanisha! I so appreciate your watching - have fun making this project!
Love that idea,thanks for sharing ❤
You are so welcome, Nancy - thank you for watching!
Fun. Kudos to Connie! I think Gayle agostinelli did something similar. ❤
Thanks, Cindy! I don't think I ever saw Gayle's version, but I'll look it up. I know that Connie was my inspiration - as she is in so many ways! Thank you for watching!
By the way I absolutely love the paisley material with the envelope, I’m a bit of a paisley freak 😅
Oh my, I hear you on the paisley. I think we should ALL be paisley freaks - it's so whimsical, and you know I love that!
Okay. I am going to watch this vid. I missed parts of the last video and “feel guilty” moving forward without going back to it! (Yes, insomnia affected my ability to watch - and I kept 💤 off! ) I want to know what you said and did in it … I’ve actually been … 🥁 roll … making stuff for an accordion hinge journal I started in 2022! Yes! I’ve been crafting! But I’m a couch potato today. So, now I watch this vid. (I simply “had” to post this just because … that’s “entertainment” 😂). “I’ll be Baaaaack”. 😂
I hope you'll always beeeee baaaaaack, my friend!

oh boy, I have tons of fabric,, tfs - I may try to die cut some bigger strips.
Good luck with the diecuts! I may have been more successful if I had tried it on a simple shape, like a circle or banner. I was trying to cut flowers with fancy edges -- too intricate for the tape I used, as the adhesive is pretty strong. The double-sided tape made specifically for die cutting may be more appropriate. Thanks so much for watching, glad it gave you some ideas!
@@annekenlon I tried this with a very simple flower die- just about 4 petals, I used my precision plate and it cut great. cotton quilting fabric. oh and I just used some wide score tape like I normally use for paper crafts
@@kathybost1879 So glad it worked well for you - have a blast with it!
❤
And "heart" right back to you, Annette! Thanks for watching!
I love it… New sub here! Thank you
Welcome! I'm so delighted you've joined me here - we really are having lots of fun. Thanks for watching!
I'm curious if your fabric was prewashed. I know many quilters prewash but I never have because I prefer to work with a stiffer fabric. But now I thinking for junk journsls I might want it softer.
Good questions! If I get my fabric new, I typically don't prewash my cotton fabrics as I like working with the sizing in the new fabric. But if it's something I pick up at a thrift store, as I often do, I will prewash. Thanks for watching!
@@annekenlon Thank you!
Is this the ultra thin or the max strength?
Hi, Edie! It’s the ultra thin. Thanks for asking!
I don't understand what you do with this. Is it for scrapbooking?
It's an embellishment for a journal page or element like a pocket - but it can also be a useful adhesive, like attaching the envelope with a hinge. It also adds a textural element to a page, so it makes things a bit more interactive, inviting you to touch and feel. Thanks for watching!
NEW SUBSCRIBER thanks to @BrianMetlock
Thanks for being here, Thelma! I'm so fond of Brian! I appreciate your joining me, too!
