Thanks again / I’m 82 years young trying to make 2 junk journals for my brothers both in their 80s / from Canada/ I have enclosed our family tree to start my ideas for their journals our mom kept humorous cards my dad gave her and I am also incorporating them in journals / family pictures to start them thinking of a story they may want to write. Both of my brothers live on the other side of Canada and I miss them, I want to finish them and send as a surprise . I am using elastic binding so they can add more pages,/ I have a letter from my grandfather to me. I saved it and will copy some of the pages for hand written pages in the diary My mom kept an envelope from when my dad had open heart surgery away from home. I also will enclose copies of this envelop to illicit some memories of my dad. Etc. Thank goodness these are junk journals as I am making lots of mistakes but I am enjoying the process which is what it is really all about! Thanks for your many suggestions along the way that has been a big help.
Thank you so much Natasha, I really really enjoyed watching you create this lovely bookmark/ journal closure. Great idea. And one I’m going to try out soon. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤❤
First I love your accent, I'm saying that because I have an Oklahoma drawl...and Australia is my fav country...I spent three months there in 1999.. I loved every moment...second, I love your videos...I've nearly binge watched all of them and several of them twice...you have hooked me on junk journals...I love writing and esp love writing in journals, but I buy a mass marketed one and soon I'm bored w it...so as soon as I can get my mind wrapped around imagination, I'm going to try to make my own...if I fail I'm buying one of yours...if I don't fail I'm still buying one from you for my to me from me xmas present...thank you for your clear and excellent instructions...I'm a scientist so directions are something I follow...now imagination not so much...
Aw thank you so much Terri :)
You could probably dab clear nail varnish on the end of the ribbon - or coloured, if you like - to prevent fraying. You know, for a less pyrotechnic version. I'm definitely going to try to make some of these.
Your paper making scrolled up so decided to watch the closure video. I dont journal but want to use papers for cards and tags. I use pity tail bands similarly to close my purses made from jeans and sometimes clothing, fronts of jackets too. It would be easier to pin to sew or pin mar where buttons go or cutting lines. I even sew buttons on with my 9 machines! Sewing is my main passion but branching out. For the lace that is a one sided design you can cut two pieces and overlap and do a small zig zag down the middle or edge sew the lace on both sides of a narrow ribbon. I cut and knot the hair ties too if I want a loop similar to close a flap on a purse. All in all a good use for this closure on a journal.
So many great ideas. Thank you :)
Love this closure, so practical and simple to prepare. I've just finished my attempt and very pleased with the result
Oh, I like this idea. Partly because I always seem to forget about the closure until the very end at which point I can't hide mechanics of it. Plus I could make several of these at a time and send as gifts to fellow junk journalers. TFS
Yes!! Exactly! I have also forgotten to include a closure until its too late! This could be added any time, and also make wonderful quick and easy gifts!
I have been binge watching you all day and I am still not tired!! One great idea after another and you execute them wonderfully! Thanks again so much for sharing you joy with us!❤️
Thank you so much!!

You could also metal stud it to the leather spine section before adding it to your book!! I use a double capped rivet!
Love love this! This I can do for closures for journals! I do not have all the fancy machines or tools to do colsures. This it PERFECT! ThankYou!

Love this idea, so cute! I think I will attempt! Thanks for sharing! 💓💓💓💓
Easy enough to do and endless possibilities...couldn't the sewing of the edges be done by hand if a sewing machine isn't available? (I'm enjoying your tutorials and learn a lot from them!)
Absolutely Liz!! I don't see why not! Just might take a little extra time, but thats all. Glad you like the idea. Thank you
I’ve been looking for something like this to make. Thank you for posting this process video.
LOVE this closure Natasa!!! I don't have a sewing machine but I'm sure I could hand stitch the elastic on. thanks so much for sharing and inspiring me!!

A great idea and a great video. Thanks for sharing
Natasha, I am binge watching all your videos. I just finished my first junk journal. I made it out of an old address book. Now that it's done and super "STUFFED" this elastic tie will be perfect. THANK YOU for all your great help! Couldn't have done it without you!
That is awesome! Thanks so much Debby!!
Thank you for another great idea. I'm going to try this tomorrow.
idea brilliantly and perfect!
I’ve got some symmetrical lace and some linen hand printed with bees which has already got me itching to do these. Thank you for sharing with us Natasa. 💕💕💕
Love it! Thank you.
Have only seen it used for bookmarks. Wonderful idea for journal closure. I can imagine a bulb pin and charms or any kind of embellishing. Can be designed to fit in your front journal design.
An excellent tutorial! I'm working on a journal that needs a closure and this will be perfect!
What a cool closure.....................😻😻
