Creative Composition Notebooks (Napkin Craft Tutorial)
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 08. 2024
- It’s that time of year again when you can get all of the best school supplies, which work great for crafting too! I am showing you how to get creative with composition books, adding all of the napkin art and embellishments to the cover. This is a great project to use up any leftover scrap paper, napkins, ribbons, and more hiding in your stash. My favorite notebooks are the half-size composition books, which make really excellent “little something” gifts, to-do list notebooks, planners, and more.
Come join me every Friday at 11am Central for my Craft-n-Chat sessions LIVE on my Facebook page!

These turned out so darn cute. I’m going to make some, but in a Christian journal style for my granddaughter.
That’s a great idea!
I would live to b a member of ur napkin club. These half journals I make them into recipe books. Great house warming gift. I am a very crafty person. Tons of cards, scrapbooking, junk journals, etc is what I make
If you can’t find the half ones, just have the office supply or print shop cut the full size in half for you.
These are adorable!
Thank you! I love creating them!
Travel journal, children’s writing books, craft diaries ..endless.
Amazon has half composition books that are portrait orientation. Love them.
can you post a link please x happy new year
Won’t let me add photo
So much fun watching you create,!! I'm inspired. I've always used scrapbook paper, but now you've opened an entirely new world to me!!!
So happy you watched!
Super CUTE! Thanks for sharing ... 💕
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
great idea with the ribbon storage thanx for the tip😊
You are so welcome!
Years ago our custodian at school would cut them in 1/2 for us. The half ones were all we needed for the subjects we journaled in. Amazon has them. You can also get the 1/2 notebooks in vertical orientation. We always called the black and white ones “moo cow books” because of their coloring.
I think you could make some dividers and make it into an address book.
Another idea would be a menu book. I make the menu every week and then that's what I make my grocery list off of. You could also make it into a master menu list.
Love those ideas!
Thank you for sharing this! Perfect i loved the way you were so passionate about your work and you didn't rush through it. ❤thanks
You are so welcome!
I stumbled across your video on my lunch break at work. I am in love and inspired by these! Tempted to develop a cough so I can go home and craft 😂😂
lol!! I know how you feel!! Glad you are inspired to create these!!
Thanks for the giggle!!
Nice sm note books. Can you just please start crafting.🎉 Thank you.
I love the plastic wrap idea ,you rubbed them completely out without tearing them.
Enjoying the craft but for me, too much talking and not enough crafting. Can't you demo as you go?
These are so cute! I love them!
Tracy you are a hoot. You instruct very well. Your laugh is so funny and sweet
Thank you for being so sweet! 🩷
Can I get more information on that napkin club? I really think it’s cute. Love what you’re doing with these have journals.

Thank you so much!❤ You have been so inspiring!❤
It’s my pleasure!
I am also a list maker, and I also do the same thing write down everything so that I know what I’ve done so now that’s not silly!
Hi I am viewing your video for the first time in 1/10/24 🎉. And like the idea of using those half composition tablets for different types of journals or scrapbooks. Thanks for the many great ideas!
You could leave one of these in the kitchen do it becomes a family message sharing book. Everyone would know where to look.
Yes…great idea!
Super cute.
I was just browsing and found your video. I have used napkins before on cards and coasters which always turn out so pretty. I like your delivery and your ease of putting your project together. I am now subscribed and will wait for a spot on your waiting list. Looking forward to being a participant.
Thank you so much! I hope to see you in the club soon!
Hi Tracy! I just came across your channel and watched this whole video! I was just mesmerized watching you work your magic with these Composition Books. I really enjoyed hearing the answers to questions you asked your live chat followers. Everyone had great ideas for the uses of these books and you gave tons of tips and explanations that were so helpful. I can’t wait to get started on a few for myself and then some for gifts. I look forward to getting an e-Mail when you have more openings for your Napkin Club. Much love to you, Happy New Year, and Happy Crafting! Julia ❤
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you will make a few of these!
Im a list maker too,i to add things ive done so i can mark them off.My daughter is getting married and she would love one of these.TY
Adorable ❤❤❤
Thank you. I had no idea you could buy half composition books!
Happy to help!
Ten pak, so I got 2 and I may get a couple more (:
Miss Tracy ---- this is my first time seeing you and i really like your style. Nice sounding voice, great explanations on how to do each step, great techniques, wonderful finished product. I liked and subscribed to your channel. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your creativity. OH ---- and i really like seeing you, too. Many creators only show their hands in the camera shot, and i really enjoy seeing you in person.
Thank you for the kind comments! Welcome to my channel!
#replay very cute !!
❤❣
Bible Studies is a good one I was thinking the same thing I go to two of them 🙏💜
Great for that!
Hello, I was browsing and come across your video , I like what you doing very nice , I make one 1/2 composition book , I have still few more , I will continue to finish them , you give me some idea , thank you Ludmila
Sounds great! Thank you for watching!
You could make a cookbook
I totally agree! Perfect size for recipes!
I really don't like half books. I rather see full composition books. I only do full size composition books because I really fill them up with so many decorations I add inside. My friends and daughter love them. But I do like your creativity.
Thanks for watching!
I used tabs to divide out sections in my journal
Thank you for sharing 1:12:48
@@nancyruiz5164 They are so fun!
What kind of pen do you use that wouldn't bleed on the napkins?
Are you using a micron pen for the outlining? If not, what kind of pen are you using? Adorable idea. Thanks for sharing.
I can't find them on Walmart website. What size are your notebooks? I'm finding on Amazon sizes are different. I'm happy I found your channel!
They are exactly half the size of the regular composition notebooks. So fun to create with!
do you have a video where you show how to make the pen holder for these half books?
Hi, Happy New Year, I just ran into your channel and I love what you do with the composition books, questions, what is the name brand of the paint you use & where can I find out more about you napkin club. Also I subscribed to your channel!
Thank you for watching! I love using chalk based paints for these. You can sign up for The Napkin Club here: www.misstracycreates.com/product/the-napkin-club/
I will put a link to the paint in another reply. ❤
Here is the link to the paint I shop.misstracycreates.com/products/country-chic-paint-all-in-one-simplicity-4oz-paint
These are adorable. I’m curious about how much you would sell these for if you did a craft show.
$10-$15
I ordered online from Walmart
I just found your channel this morning. Cute notebooks. Do you have a shop and can you shop on line?
I love napkin art. I make homemade cards with napkins so where do you find yours.
Yes, I do! shop.misstracycreates.com/
#replay Hi Miss Tracy!!
I’ve had problems with Modpodge staying sticky. I thought that I was doing it correctly, but can’t figure out what it could be? Is there a sealer which dries non-sticky?
Are you using glossy mod Podge?
@@misstracycreates I believe so. I’m traveling at the moment, but I think it is.
❤❤❤❤
❤
Can you use printed toilet paper??
Do you sell napkins too?
Use Gesso paint. 😁
What size is the Get Reddi sheets?
I bought mine from Amazon
Where do you get your plastic sheets? These are super cute. I found some 1/2 composition books, half the other way, 3/2.47 on Amazon on right now
They are deli/bakery plastic sheets and I get them on Amazon. They work great!
@@misstracycreates I found them! Thank you so much
Wondering about gesso to cover
White gesso would work great!
Please tell me how
I make lists, then reorganize/re-prioritize those lists
Me too!
