Crafting with File Folders: All in One Journal Folio

  • čas přidán 5. 03. 2021
  • Today we're going to put together a little folio style journal with a couple of regular letter sized file folders. Just a heads up, this project might not be the best for beginning paper crafters.
    If you are interested in the Bee Digital Kit that I am using in this project, it is called Honey Blossom and can be found in my Etsy shop www.etsy.com/listing/95391370...
    I'm not sure of the particular magnets I used in this project. They were some very thin neodymium magnets I'd ordered on etsy a long time ago. My favorite brand of thin magnets though, is Basic Grey. Here is an etsy shop that I like that carries them (though you might want to price compare with other sources)

    I have NEVER seen a book like this before and i am SO EXCITED to make one. This is incredible, so so amazing . Thank you so much for your awesome ideas. This is first time for me on your channel and i can't wait to grab materials and make a bunch of these. I make a variety of items for children for the holidays and these would be great to make for " hard to shop for " teenagers. My brain is bouncing around in my noggin right now imagining what i can do. I may not sleep for days so i can create all my ideas !! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU !!

    Great project. Thanks for the walkthrough. I've never seen those little eyelet washers. What I have used is a piece of packaging plastic. Cut a square or rectangle. Cut a u-shape in it big enough to fit around the leg of the eyelet. Place it between the eyelet and the paper or whatever you're putting the eyelet through. Attach the eyelet and ease the plastic out. This option also works if you're using a brad to attach the button.

    Great video and use of old file folders. I'm glad I watched all the way through first, though, to avoid some of the "mistakes". 😉I honestly had never seen buttons made that way. I just use real ones. 😜 I also was surprised that you use E6000 to glue down your magnets when double sided tape works fine. It's also easier to position them without waiting for the glue to dry. Love this project and will be making a few.

    Very good instructions!!!!!! And I agree with both your husband and son. The seamless cover for the front makes it so beautiful! And the bees on the waxed thread will be wonderfully whimsical. I am new to "junk" journal community. And I have to admit.....I was lost and decided it wasn't for me because most of them are so busy and full of so much stuff that there is no room left for journaling or adding the special mementos. When I saw yours I thought "Now there is a beautiful journal". That is what they should be like! I love your bee kit and will be making a purchase. Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to start making my journals! I love this pattern and the templates you shared. As for the length of the video......I was engrossed til the very end and didn't notice the time!
