How to make Junk journal covers with fabric and decorate with beads.

A little tidbit to throw out there to everyone. I bought a package of fabric covered elastic ponytail holders and they work FABULOUSLY to hold small booklets together. They come in solid black, various solid colors, bright colors with silver metallic thread, etc. inexpensive. Walmart and Dollar Tree.

Your uncontrolled wing it playful experiments are inspiring me to LET GO something I can’t seem to do as a new creator who lived her entire life in her logical controlling brain. I’ve spent years as a wannabe artist collecting mixed media supplies, now retired I’m having a hard time to play!! And I keep asking myself why am I making art. For the fun and discovery of the process! Thx for encouraging my art adventures.

Aloha! I've been following you for some time now. I don't always comment. I just wanted to pop on and say again, how much I appreciate you taking the time to share your processes with all of us! Especially when I heard that you are doing all of this before walking the dog and going to work! Oh my, I do have to put it to you, girl. A huge pat on the back for that! I do also want to mention, and I may have said this before...you have such a lovely voice. I always feel like i've got a friend in the room when I turn your videos on while I am doing my own art. Thank you again for taking the time to share with us! Oh, and by the way, I am a fellow messy creator!😅 Have a beautiful weekend and always look forward to your next video!🌈🌺🙋‍♀️

I dearly love using the medical tape. Inexpensive, bright white, works well in holding things together.

Love love these mini journals 😊😊

Loving your fun process. If you pour your glue off into a low, wide mouth jar with a lid, it’ll be easy to access and clean up every time and when you close the lid put some saran wrap over the mouth of the jar before puting the lid on, this makes it easy to open each time.

Thank you! I love making mini journals and your process is inspiring. ❤️

Thanks for the tips on the beads at the front page.🥰

Love how you create something so cute and fun with scraps! Thank you for sharing and for the inspiration! Take care x

Never thought of threading beads with clear élastique… Those tiny journals are just adorable. I just love your calligraphy fabric. That was such a great find… Merci 😊

I’m always excited when I see you’ve uploaded a new video! I enjoy watching you work and you’re always inspiring! I too am a messy crafter ~ when the creative juices are flowing there’s no stopping to clean up! 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing Michelle and have a great day too!

Very cute mini journals. Using what we have is good advise. Hugs and stay well.

I love coming up with changes as you go. I think when I start with a structured plan, I keep judging myself and don't have as much fun. I craft along in my round robin journal while watching today.

This is so good, what a gorgeous idea ☺☺

I love your journal making process. They are so cute and yes I'm inspired to create.

Creative and fun, thanks Michele. Sending best wishes 😊

Very cute! Love these journals! I need to create some smaller ones, so this was great inspiration! THANKS!!

I love you video's. So relaxing. 👍🧡💐
