I’ve made some from the regular size books and used 12 x 12 patterned paper. I glue a ribbon to the cover before I cover it so it makes it like a real journal. I measure to be sure it extends beyond the book. It makes it look finished.
That sounds wonderful! 💜
I should have said I add the ribbon to the back cover. Thanks for all the thumbs ups❣️
I just came across your channel and what a blessing! This tutorial was exactly what I needed. Thanks for sharing it is greatly appreciated.
Just had surgery today, knew your voice, music and fun project would be perfect for comfor in hospital bed. Thank you Amber❤
6/8/24: To jazz mine up, I don’t necessarily use decorative papers for the front of my books. I print out pictures I like from Pinterest, like old magazine covers of celebrities from back in the day (Vanity Fair, In-Style, Vogue, Bazaar, and even Playboy! - for my guy friends who like that stuff, LOL!), and some current celebrities too. They actually wind up looking like mini magazines when done and they're definitely a conversation piece! I've even used personalized pictures of people I know (singles, couples, kids, family photos w/the dog, etc.) that I download in my computer and print out. And for kids, I print their favorite cartoon characters (Disney), or singing person/group, etc. (also from Pinterest). I size and cut them at 4.4" (height) by 3.15 (width) and glue them to the front cover w/2-sided tape around the edges of the pic and then Art Glitter glue all around it and in the middle. (We know how important it is to glue them down tight.) I then glue decorative papers to the back cover of the book and inside covers with the same method. I sometimes put small square or diagonal pockets on the inside cover. I have to admit that my technique may take a little effort, but once I get it going, it flows easily in putting it together, but boy, do they look nice when done!
I love how yours came out; they all look so pretty, but the only thing I'd do different is, the decorative paper where it’s butted up against the black strip, I’d add a strip of bling right down the middle in between the black strip and decorative paper from top to bottom to give it some pop and then go to town decorating the rest! I get my bling from Amazon, and I use them religiously. So, from one crafter to another, it's just an idea I thought I'd share, but no matter which way we doll them up, they come out looking SO nice. You'd never think they started from The Dollar Tree! Thanks for sharing yours. It was fun to watch! ❤
Thanks for this. I’m going to DT today and will give these a go. I have so much nice patterned paper that I need to use. I’m thinking of these for small gifts and maybe to put at my vintage booth. 😊
I started watching your tutorials a couple years ago because I wanted to learn a craft to participate in a craft show. I had never worked with cardstock before and now I can make so many wonderful things because of you. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing yourself 😊💕
This video is perfect timing for me because I was given a box of mini composition notebooks! Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE it when your videos pop up !!! greetings from northern ireland xx
So fun!!! A great idea for church craft shows!!! TYSMFS!!! You are so creative and generous with sharing your God given talent! We are BLESSED!!!❤️
Thank you so much, Rondi! You are so kind! I love church craft shows! They are my favorite. 💛
I am still a newbie here but I am loving watching your videos when I can catch my breath at this busy season.
This is such a great project and super cute . It's too late for Christmas but I am going to make a few of these for my 8yr old granddaughter for Valentines day . She will feel so grown up and really enjoy them . Thank you for sharing 😊
Love & prayers ❤️ 🙏🏻
I love Maggie Holmes papers. All her collections can be intermingled. Cute little project... simple, too. Tfs! 😊💗
I really, really like Maggie Holmes papers and collections. These are so cute, definitely look old fashioned😊 Thanks Amber!
Hi Amber! Thank u for always sharing ur ideas & creativity with us. These r some of my fave projects to do & I never get sick of seeing them. So many possibilities with how to decorate them😘🥰. Love hugs blessings & prayers, Donna🥰🙏💗
Amber- love how this turned out. I can’t wait to make a few with all my paper collections. Thanks so much!
So cute and perfect to add to gifts or gift baskets.
My sister and I used to do this with the regular sized composition notebooks, but I never thought to use mini ones! I love these and am so excited to make my own.
So glad to see you on. These are so cute. you make covering them so easy. Thank you for sharing.
Your tutorials are the BEST out of all the people I watch! Thanks for always sharing with us ❤️
Still one of my fave projects! Thanks for sharing it again!
Hi Amber, I love the way these turned out. So quick and easy.💕😀
I have covered tons of these little mini comp books. However, I had not thought to add a label to the front or stickers to the pages. Thanks! Amber. Love all your quick 'n easy projects. Cheers!
Very pretty Amber x
Awesome idea, thanks for sharing! FYI = you can find those kind of labels @ the $ 🌳, different shapes too, not just rectangle
Another Amber classic. Thank You
Adorable! Thank you Amber for sharing your great tutorial! Hugs ❤
What a great gift this will be Thank you for sharing!!!
This is so way easier and it looks great! Love it, Amber n your nail polish color! Thanks
Grabbed mine at the Dollar Tree. Can't wait to make these today!
I really enjoy watching your videos Amber. Thanks for sharing.
I was wondering how I could jazz some of these notebooks up. Thanks for sharing this video with us. I’m excited to give this a try. 🦋
Wow this video came to me just at the right time. I was just thinking of making some of these and your process looks easy. Well truth be told, I can mess up anything😂. Thank you for sharing. ❤️🤗
Amber as I watched and rewatch a lot of your videos, I wonder if you would be so kind to do a video on how you display the different kind of notebooks you show us how to make. I struggle to find the best and least expensive way to do this.
Thank you for your time and consideration for this idea.
Such a sweet idea and inexpensive gift! Thank you!
I have several of these little books. Thank you for the simple and easy tutorial! TFS!!💕🌴😎
Perfect. Just in time I found your video. Just bought the mini composition books from Wal-Mart. Thanks for sharing. Excited to start making these cute books.
Thank you for sharing, I've been trying to figure out how to cover these mini's and your way has been the easiest, it covers out and in. But here's an Mini Composition Book update, the books new size are 4 1/4 x 3 1/4, and since I could not find them I had to order them online. I also started working on the little cover/booklet with the old measurements to slide the mini's in, now they're somewhat big, but they will work and no time to re-do them. Glad I waited for the mini's to cover them. Again thank you for the video, hope the new size helps others.
Hi Amber I absolutely love your channel and your crafting style❤thanks for sharing
Lorie you are so kind!!! Thank you so much for being so sweet and for watching my videos! 💛
Super cute! ❤
Love love love!!! Can’t wait to make a few
What a great idea❤ They also look so relaxing to make. Cannot wait to try this out. Thank you so much!
Just a thought, you can alter a larger marble notebook and make it a set!
So cute
Such pretty little journals Amber. Such a great idea! Love them! 😍🧡
Great idea. Super cute.
So cute.. I made the regular size going to make these too!
Very cute! Thank you for the inspiration!
Always enjoy your videos 😊
These are so cute,
Hey Lyric,I thoroughly enjoy your videos ! You are so good at crafting!
Any ideas to make a set with a pencil as far as packing the two? Thanks!
Love these! I just made some of these today although slightly differently. I’m going to try your method. Love it! Thanks for sharing with us Amber. Oh and I got a pretty piece of vellum in a pad the other day and saved your fancy envelope tutorial! Can’t wait to make that too!
Yay Kerrie! I’m so glad you are going to make the pockets!!! Have fun making these, too! 🩷
Thanks Amber
Thank you for being here, Jen! 🩵
So adorbs, love it
They are really cute
🎉really enjoyed the video so cute🎉
Super cute❤
How fun!
Thank you so much for watching, Carol! 🧡
Dollar general also have these mini composition notebooks 3/$1
I really enjoy your ideas. What would you charge for this item
I love the Walmart brand
Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching! 🩷
Amber, do you have a tutorial to cover the regular size composition notebooks?
Amber should I use scrapbook paper or cardstock with this? They are super cute 😁
Thanks for sharing. Around about do you sell them for in a craft fair? I’m doing one and it’s a perfect way to use my stash
Hello Amber, I love your videos and how you explain the steps. I do have a question. I have the clear bag wallets but I am having a difficult time getting the inserts that fit properly. I really don't want to create the inserts if I can purchase. Do you recommend choosing the inserts and creating the cover based on the size of the insert? I really hate to let the clear bag wallets sit here. It should be easy to get this done but I am having issues completing a good notebook. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Amber, This is sooo cute and looks so simple for a beginner (me). What would you recommend I do at the corners , that would look great, since I do not own a corner rounder of any kind. By the waywhere did you find yours and what size is it?
Thank you so much for sharing and in advance for responding to my questions.
God Bless
How do you price/bundle these to sell for a craft fair? TIA
What would your pricing be for this set at a craft fair?
Any ideas on where to get those labels or how to make them? They look so cute on the mini journals
You can find label stickers on most sticker sheets or sticker books with these collections…but if you don’t want to get those, I will link some label stickers in the description box from Amazon. 😊 Thanks for watching!
@@lyriclovercrafts great thank you so much!! None of my papers have stickers like that for the covers. What are the approximate measurements of those stickers? I saw the link you put up but those labels look way too big. Love all your videos!!
You could make them. Just use scrap paper, cut the corners off on your rectangle. You could matt it or just ink the edges to give it a bit more.
I don't see a link for the covers on this video or the original. Am I just missing it?
This little notebooks are stitched? Thanks
