Love to crochet with paper, probably 25 to 30 years ago I would crochet around pictures of greeting cards and make tree decorations from them. Now I still do a bit of for my journals. I make coin flowers and button flowers. Also do up tiny mini dresses which as so cute! I like how you just crochet on a little bit of your items, looks nice.
Caroline's Craft Tree thank you, Caroline! It’s so much fun!
Emily that is absolutely awesome. My eyesight isn't good enough anymore to use that thin thread. I appreciate you sharing how to do this. Blessings and Hugs 🤗
Susie's Craftroom thank you, Susie! Hugs and blessings! ❤️
Will totally be trying this process! Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure! 🥰🥰
Arthritis=sucks. So sorry that happened to you Emily. :( I'm so glad, tho, that you are still able to share your awesome crafting with us!
My Porch Prints thank you, Stephanie!
wonderful idea. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome! 🥰
Thanks for reminding me about this. About a million years ago (o.k., maybe 40 years) I used to cut petal-shapes from recycled xmas cards and then crochet them together into baskets which I put handmade cookies into for the holidays. Now I make JJ so I'm going to use this technique on pages, embellishments, and pockets. Thanks for sharing a great idea!
Oh, wow! That’s very cool! Happy crocheting! Hugs! 💕💕
Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. It is EXACTLY what I have been looking for!

Selina Stephens it is addictive! My hands won’t let me or I’d be crocheting everything as well! Hugs!
Selina Stephens ....you can find some Vintage scissors on Amazon😊👍

Joyce Bergthold thank you, Joyce! ❤️❤️
Absolutely gorgeous Emily and quite a challenge with painful hands. What a lovely achievement though! Beautiful ❤️
Penelope Marshall thank you, Pene 😊❤️
Beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you, Marilynn! ❤️❤️
This has inspired me to get some tags together and while not feeling well, I am going to crochet some trim on them. Thank you for the beautiful idea!
Kathy Girlygirl happy crocheting! I hope you feel better soon ❤️❤️
This is so beautiful! Can't wait to TRY, lol to do this. I can manage a single and double stitch at least. These will really jazz up my junk journals if I figure it out. Thanks for sharing.
Our Cracker Box Cottage Creations With Anita Smith that’s all you need to know! Have fun! Hugs!
These are so adorable !! I can't crochet to save my life ! ;)
Taylor Made Journals thank you! ❤️❤️
I hope you won’t feel so down on yourself, I think your great for one and also I am truly inspired in a wonderful way and can’t wait to find all the things I need to start crocheting on paper ! Thank you so much for getting through this video even though I think your hands were hurting you, I’m so sorry. This is the first I’ve seen of your videos and will love to now find more of you to watch and learn from. Tami Clutter
Tami Clutter thank you so much, Tami ❤️😊
Beautiful work! I’ve never paid attention to the holes in a Tim Holtz ruler!!!! Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to get one!💕
Jamie Denton thank you! This is the first time I’ve actually used those holes lol! Very handy for this! That’s my favorite ruler for lots of reasons ❤️
These pieces are so cute! I absolutely love the envelope! Tyfs this idea! 👍😍❤
Rhonda Acheson thank you, Rhonda! The envelope is my favorite, too ❤️❤️
Yes you are correct, it is a treble in English crochet. I used to have a crochet business too, and my hands are so bad, but will give it a go.
June Nicholls thank you, June! I meant to look up the conversions before I filmed. Alas, I forgot lol! I took a year and a half completely off from crocheting, and now I can manage it in very small increments. The crochet thread is definitely more of a struggle, but it looks so darn cute lol! Hugs!
This is a beautiful way to embellish. You are a better teacher than you think you are. I really enjoyed this video. I crochet, too. So, this isn't totally foreign to me. But, I am going to leave the fancy stitching to others, I think.
Take care!
JOBETH SEXTON'S Crafty Cauldron thank you, Jobeth! That is very kind of you to say. Hugs!
What a cute idea, good thing I can't crochet. They are very pretty.
Trisha White Keen thank you, Trisha! Hugs! ❤️❤️

I have no clue how to crochet, but this is making me want to learn. :) So very pretty! Hugs!!
Lori Goodman you should! It’s very fun! Hugs!
These are so pretty, Emily. Your crocheting is just gorgeous!
Not quite like it used to be, but thank you! ❤️❤️
I love the look of these! I have done some of this and love your idea of doing the blanket stitch first! I've always done it with the crochet hook and I prefer the more delicate look of the blanket stitch on these. Thanks for sharing this!
Ardella Koskinen Thank you! I agree! I don’t like the bigger holes needed for the hook. Hugs!
Love this technique! Almost makes me want to learn crocheting. 😁
Kipp's Korner oh, you should! It’s so fun! ❤️❤️
I have been crocheting for over 50 yrs & you taught me about sewing a blanket stitch & then crocheting on that stitch...so you do not tear your paper. Awesome video. Thank you so much!!
Christine Buras thank you, Christine! I’m so glad I could help! Happy crocheting ❤️❤️
I just loved this tutorial! It adds such a wonderful touch! ❤️
Katherine Hawkes thank you, Katherine ❤️❤️
Holy woozer! These are amazing! ❤️😘🤗
Dee Dee Farago 😊❤️😘🤗
I think it is a beautiful way to embellish things for your journals etc, maybe another shell on the top of the two (if you know what i mean...lol) thanks for the video Emily xo
Diane Duncan oh, yes! I know what you mean! I’ll try that! I wish I had thought it through better for the video. I feel like a doofus 🤣 thank you for the advice! Hugs!
I love this! Great ideas! Thank you! ❤
My pleasure, Sheila 🥰 Thank you! 💗💗

What a pretty way to top off a project tfs ❤️🥰❤️😗
Craftydawk. Janette Dawkins thank you, Janette! Hugs!
This just popped up in my feed. LOVE IT! For your arthritis, try using those rubber finger covers on your thumb and index finger. (office workers use them to help them turn paper pages quickly) They will help you pull your needle through without having to squeeze so hard.
Hi!! Thank you so much for stopping by and for the great tip!! 🥰🥰
Das ist ja eine so schöne Idee 🥰 das muss ich unbedingt in mein nächstes Journal mit Feinarbeiten. LG Silke
Danke! ❤️❤️
This is so pretty! TFS HUGS

Turned out very pretty great idea
Cecilia Jimenez thank you so much! ❤️😊
Great inspiration... I have crocheted so much in my past and then I began having issues with my fingers too, but a little crochet here and there is a wonderful option! TFS!
It sure is! Thank you, Judy 💕💕
Wow this is so pretty- I loved it on the envelope edge.. maybe someday I will learn to crochet- thanks for sharing

Linda Stead thank you so much, Linda! ❤️😊🤗
This is outstanding! I crochet also….will be doing this!
Awesome! Thank you for watching! Happy crocheting! 🥰🥰
Wow! Looks complicated lol. Guess I need to watch the “basic” video. These are very pretty and you are very talented!! TYFS! Oh....I wanted to say...I think it would be fun to add some small beads to the blanket stitch part. Anyway...this video has a few wheels turning lol. ❤️🦋💜
Cindy Henry oh my goodness! Beads! Guess what I’m going to do today? 😂 Thank you for that idea! ❤️😊
I love this! I crochet & knit, & I'm very inspired by this video & can't wait to add this to my journals. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Hugs from Ireland.
Hi Pamela! Thank you so much! Hugs!
Your work is very pretty! I love the envelope! You have inspired me to try it.
Thank you, Shawna!
I have done this a few times, It looks amazing and everyone tends to love it. Yours looks amazing too.
Thank you, Julie! ❤️❤️
Loved this and you are right it looks vintage. Marilyn from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you so much, Marilyn 🥰🥰
When I was younger my Nana tried to teach me to crochet but gave up declaring I was a hopeless case. A couple of years ago I taught myself the very basics (thanks YT) and was able to crochet a really bad doilly LOL. Thank you for inspiring me to pick up the crochet hook again to rediscover how bad I still am, but at least willing to give it a go. Not sure I will be including any crochet in any of my junk journals any time soon, but maybe in a few years LOL.
Paula Lynne you can do it, Paula! Practice makes perfect 😊 Big hugs! ❤️❤️
These are beautiful!
My Mom and Grandmother used to cut shapes out of old Christmas cards, crochet around them and make ornaments for the tree.
Thank you, Shera! That’s a fabulous idea! I might need to do that this Christmas 😊💕💕
Thank you so much for the fun tutorial!!
Ginger Pana my pleasure!
Loved it, Emily! Love crocheting, but never thought to do it on paper.
Thank you, Isabel! It’s a lot of fun, and it’s a quick little project 😊💕
I thought about this the other day! I'm so excited to actually find that someone did this
Oh yay!! I’m so glad I could be of help! Happy crocheting 🧶 💗
I've been crocheting since a child. I love the envelope so much!!! Words cannot describe! TYFS!
A Adele Smith thank you very much! 😊❤️🤗
You are so welcome! TYFS ❤️🙏🏽
Crocheting is such a nice touch to ephemera.
Thank you, Debra!

Victoria Fortunato thank you, Victoria ❤️❤️
I love the crochet on ephemera, I have never done it on paper, Looks FABULOUS. Yay Nick ( NIKE ) Awe Pixie sending prayer's. Have a great day.
Thank you, Ann! 🥰😊
By soaking my hands hot Epsom salt water, hot as you can stand without burning yourself.Rince, dry then rub them with aspercream.wave hands in the air so not sticky.Wrists, elbows, neck and across your chest, above your breast.See if that doesn't make a difference.if convenient do it again I've had Arthur's for prb 30 yrs now and I'm still crocheting.
Thank you! 💕💕
Tfs this is so pretty
Sherry Vanderpool thank you, Sherry! ❤️❤️
So inspiring
Jamie- LOVE U MORE SOAPS & JOURNALS - thank you, Jamie ❤️😊🤗
About a year ago I used your tutorial to do a circle and a journal with crochet edges. I loved the way it looked! So I am finally making a journal for me and using a bee and floral theme so looked up you video again an watched again to refresh my memory and did a small tag. 30:23 0
Hi Phyllis!! 🥰🥰
Thankyo for sharing. Well done
BARBARA GROW thank you, Barbara ❤️😊🤗
Awesome.
Darcy's Misadventures with Mixed Media thank you, Darcy ❤️❤️
Apologies my husband is logged on... I love crochet as well. I love the edge you have put on your cards. I like to include sewing/crochet in my Journals. x Blessings x Mariana UK xx
Bossie Ackerman thank you, Mariana! Hugs and blessings ❤️😊🤗
I love to crochet as well. I too have arthritis on my right hand and since I'm right handed, it's hard for me to crochet as well. I've crochet a few ephemeras and put them away. Thanks for reminding me of them. I think I'll do some more. Thank you for sharing. GOD Bless and be safe. P.S. I take an Aleve 1/2 hour before I crochet. Most of the time it helps me. Maybe it'll help you too.
Thank you so much! Nothing seems to help my pain, so I just crochet in small batches ;-) Blessings!
Thanks for sharing.
It’s my pleasure 🥰
Thank you! I have been thinking about a way to use vintage crochet thread and forgotten how to crochet!
My pleasure! Have fun! xo
Amazing.! I love this. Too bad I can't crochet.
Sandra Jennings thank you, Sandra! Check out the link in the video. I bet you could learn! Hugs!
@@JunkJournalInspirations I certainly will. Thank you sweetie.
Hi Emily. I have a suggestion which may, or may not help, and of course, we all learn differently and do what works for us. I have arthritis too and had to give up some hobbies as well. I have learned to try to save movements with certain things to save my hands. When I learned blanket stitch, I learned by holding my holes to the side, not top or bottom like you’ve done in your videos. Holding the holes on the right side, you can save movement by putting the thread through the hole, and through the loop as you come through the hole. I don’t know if that makes sense, but it’s less movements. Also, if you wear a little rubber finger thingy (Clover has them), it helps pull the needle through without putting so much stress on the fingers. I have bad arthritis in my thumbs, and the pinching motion is killer! I love to hand stitch though, and saw Rachel (Roxycreations) use one and ordered immediately from Amazon and it helps soooo much!
Hope you don’t mind the suggestions and hope maybe one of them will help. Big hugs! 🤗
Just remembered one more thing, which I don’t do but you may want to try. Someone told me once to hold the crochet hook like a spoon instead of how you (and I) hold it. It takes some getting used to! As I said, I don’t do that but have when I’ve crocheted enough to make my hands hurt.
Martha Manigross thank you so much for all of your suggestions! I will definitely try holding the holes to the side! I’ll try anything for less pain 😊 I’ve tried to spoon hold when crocheting, and I can not make it work for me. But, again, I always love to get tips and suggestions to make crafting easier and more fun ❤️❤️ Big hugs!
Love this! Thanks for showing how to make this :)) Where'd you get your gorgeous vintage looking scissors? TFS :))
Cara Mia's Corner thank you! They are from Amazon! They are new and not very pricey. If you follow the link to some of my favorite supplies in my description you’ll find a link to them. Hugs!
Emily, I had to stop crocheting due to my arthritis also...but as crazy as it sounds I taught myself to knit n I can knit without it hurting my hands
Sissy Moss I can do Tunisian crochet without too much pain. And it’s very mindless. I can do it while watching TV. It helps with my anxiety 😊 I’m so glad you are able to knit ❤️❤️
Neat!
Amy Jo Evans thank you! ❤️😊🤗
Welcome
I love this idea and I also suffer from arthritis in my hands.
Thank you, Brenda. I'm sorry that you suffer as well. Take care xx
That is just beautiful Emily! I don’t crochet but love the look. Do you think it would be a close duplicate if I took some thin crocheted trim and just hand stitched it to the paper edge..somewhat like the blanket stitch? I might give it a try. Thank you so much for the idea.
Kathryn Helm oh, yes! I think that would look lovely! You should definitely give it a try! I’d love to see the results 😊❤️🤗
Well that is awesome. You went a little too fast and off camera but I think I got enough to duplicate. I haven’t crochet since I was a little girl. My mom’s step mom taught me how. Like you I have arthritis in my hands and would need to find a comfortable needle. I like the shape of your wood handle.
Melinda Wiley oh, I’m so sorry I was out of frame and too fast. If you need a redo, I’d be glad to do it 😊 The wood handle is definitely better than just the steel hook. My hands can’t handle the tiny hooks anymore. I hope you have fun giving it a try! Hugs!
Emmephemera's Treasures oh no need to redo unless you are getting more requests to do so. It’s a basic stitch and easy enough but thank you for offering. 🤗💜
You’re very welcome! I try to pay attention to where I am to stay in frame, but sometimes I get too absorbed in what I’m doing and lose track lol!
Love the tutorial. informative and I love the fact that you showed what you did up close. As a side note, I would love to know more about the "Danglies" on that glue bottle. Did you make them?😍
Thank you, Karen! I did but make the danglies, but you can find crafters who do on Etsy. Just search glue bottle pin. Unfortunately, I’m awful at fiddly stuff like beads and crocheting now. My hands have gotten much worse since this video was made. 🥰🥰
It's been a while since I did hand stitching but I think that if you sew FROM RIGHT TO LEFT (instead of left to right) on the blanket stitch, you can hold the loose thread towards you so that the needle comes up inside the loop so you don't have to take the time to put the needle through the loop in a separate move. Not sure how to explain this without showing you, but give it a try and see if it works for you. Love the items you made!
Nell Covington I’ll give it a try! I was taught the blanket stitch this way, so I’ve never thought to do it differently lol! Thank you for the tip!
@@JunkJournalInspirations Hope it works. Let me know. It's been a bunch of years since I did this so hope I am remembering correctly. 😊
Nell Covington I will! Thank you!
If your thread won't go through the head ofyour needle, turn the needlel head around just about every needle has a burr on it.If your needle won't go through the material run the needle through your hair carefully don't stab your head .see if those tricks don't help.
Thank you, Patricia! I will try that 💗💗
Will you sell any of these in your shop!! Beautiful!
Hi Joan! Are you interested in exactly these images?
No I just wondered if you had plans to put any crocheted work on paper in your shop?
I may do that at some point. With arthritis, I’m never sure if I’ll be able to crochet or not. I’d like to make more items like this. I will put it on my to do list and try to get some pieces listed soon. Thank you Joan 😊🤗❤️
