- HI Everyone
Today I will be continuing along with #junkjournaljuly2024. It is Day 14 and the prompt is Weather. My affirmation is " I am Part of the beauty and perfection of Nature". I will be using a brown paper bag to create faux leather and then make a pocket pouch to put in the journal. I also made a tag and journal cards to go in the pouch.
It is a challenge with a list of prompts that is available from @megjournals
• JUNK JOURNAL JULY 2024...
The steps that I took to create the faux leather were:
1. Heavy brown paper bag
2. Crumple it up
3.Spritz lightly with water
4. Crumple again
5. Massage Conditioner into the paper
6. Let it dry a few minutes
7. Crumple again if necessary
8. Lightly rub an ink across the surface. Start with lighter colour first. Use dark colours for more contrast.
9. Spray with water
10. Let air dry completely.
11. Add any touch ups to the ink
12. When completely dry brush on mod podge or I use a cheap glue I get at the Dollar Store
13. Let air dry completely
14. Make something with it :)
I hope you enjoy this video.

You are doing a great job on this challenge. I would have given up days ago. I commend you on your creativity each day and bringing new ideas or ideas that haven't been done in a while. I really do love this weathered leather look envelope; it does look really soft. Thanks so much for sharing and take care of yourself.
Thanks so much for your kind comments. I’m really glad you’re enjoying it 🌸🌺
Hi Mich 👋 I have literally binged the last 2 weeks of Junk Journal July, so please don't lose your mojo cos I'm eagerly waiting the rest of this series. I've learned so much & been inspired by you & your projects - for which I'm so grateful, thank you!
That’s awesome. Your comment has made my day. Thank you 🌺🌸
@michcrafty8664 good, am glad.
I love the way your false leather looks. Now I have to go and give it a try. You always have so many great ideas ❤
Thanks Nina. I hope you like how your’s turns out. ❤️
Hey Mich….. you go girl! Another fantastic page to your journal! Each day is such a treat from you THANKYOU for sharing your beautiful talent of such creativity,,, bless you🦋
What a lovely comment. It really warmed my heart ❤️ 🌸🌺
This faux leather idea is so cool, I am off to get my brown packing paper out my stash. Thanks Mich, once again for the ideas and your time
Stay safe in these times of severe weather changes... best wishes to you both xxx loving how this is all turning out. WOW is how I describe it. Xx
Aww thanks so much. Love your comment. Yes Chester and I are sitting here in front of the fan. It’s evening and thankfully it’s starting to cool off a bit 🐈🌺🌸
Thanks for the faux leather steps. I've never done that, so something else to try. Beautiful pouch. 😊
Thanks Joy. I really love the feel of it ❤️
@@michcrafty8664 ❤️
Love the faux leather, thanks for sharing
Thanks Norma 😊
Another great project… thanks for sharing Mich. This is one of my favorite techniques and your pocket is a fantastic addition to your journal. I was thinking it’s only July 14 and you are going to need a bigger spine😂… the faux leather will make the perfect finish to your JJ July. Yes we had a tremendous amount of rain in the past two weeks and enormous structural road damage. Sadly there was a fatality in Wolfville. So our prayers are with the family and the friends of the victim.
Thanks Wanda. My spine just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Lol. Yes it was a sad thing. Our weather really has changed in the last couple years.
Wow Mich, what an interesting technique, love the way it turned out. Not liking this humidity, don’t mind it hot but without it being humid. My thoughts are with the family in Wolfville for their loss ❤️🌺
Thanks Lynda. Yes I agree with you ❤️🌸
Hello from Southern Ontario! I'm late to the challenge but enjoying watching your videos as I add my own little twist to it. I'm going to try your method of faux leather thanks for that.
Hi Sasi! I’m glad you’re enjoying them. It’s great to add your own twist, for sure. I love the faux leather 😊
Mich, you can do it!! 👏👏 That faux leather paper looks fun! I couldn't help notice for your weathered prompt you used a "Wuthered" page!!😂 I'll see myself out......
Haha. That made me smile 😊❤️
Hi Michael just love the faux leather paper and will be trying this! Lovely idea and thanks 🙏 Lynne NZ
I love that!! ❤️❤️
Michael?? Where did that come from 😂 flippin auto correct!!
@lynnenewell6812 😂😂
Oh wow!!!! I just love that faux leather you made!! Great take on the prompt! I bet the journal you make with it will be awesome!! I made some faux leather policy envelopes similar to that for Junk Journal July 12 packaging. I just love this!! The way the inks went into the crinkles is beautiful. This turned out amazing!!
Thanks Artsy. It’s such a cool technique. As it’s hard to imagine it started as a brown paper bag. It would have been good for the packaging prompt too. I bet your journal is looking lovely. 🌸🌺
@@michcrafty8664 It is getting chunky with all the prompts. 😄
It's interesting that I just a few days ago made some faux leather to use on some faux passport booklets thingies I'm making to put into journals I am making for my grandsons (teenage). I love your pouch! Hang in there with this JJJuly, you're doing fantastic!
Thanks Lin. What a wonderful thing you are doing making journals for your grandsons. I wish I had been given a homemade journal when I was a teenager. 🌸🌺
@@michcrafty8664 They have always shown interest in my work and just recently asked me to make them each a journal. I was surprised by that. I'm doing a twig bound nature theme for my oldest and medieval theme for the younger. They are 19 and 17 years old.
That’s so awesome 😊
@@michcrafty8664 I think so too!
Took me half the month to feel like I was getting any mojo!😅
I got half way through and thought I was losing mine lol 😊
Mich hope you can solve a problem I’m having. I did my first MM collage in a Charlottes Web book. I didn’t use all of the pages but it is really fat and gapping open. So next Mm Journal I used a spiral bound multi media journal, I did use all the pages plus have the last 4 days just stuck in the back. Same problem. It is very, very fat gapping open. What can I do to not be so gappy? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks 😊
With a book like I’m using, I take pages out at random from all the signatures- front to back. That way the bulk is evenly distributed. The book I used last year was a moleskein and I ended up splitting the spine and added another spine. But for a spiral bound it’s a bit harder. You could try and take out the spiral wire and replace it with a larger spiral or large rings through the existing holes.
