Craft with Me - how to make an open spine Junk Journal

Love this process and the simplicity of this.

Thank you so much for teaching how to actually make this. I do appreciate it!

You had me at “I like my journals messy”. Me too!!!

Love the simplicity of this journal and it is very pretty 💕

Thank you so much!! I like that your tutorials aren’t too long!!💕

Love this style, your style. I’m going to run off and make this. Thanks for sharing!

😂It hurt to see you cut that ribbon so short!! But it is a beautiful Journal and I’ll definitely be trying this out tomorrow!! Tfs

This is so cute! The best thing about this journal is, you are so right that we always want room to grow our journals! This method is very flexible so it can grow as you work through to the finish. <3 Great idea!!! I know Im commenting a year and a half later, but I just found you. I have a couple of thoughts to make this easier to do so I wanted to share them with you. First tip: To make stabbing the ribbon holes easier, just put the middle of the folded pages into an open phone book (or old book that you are using for scrap pages) and into the crease of the center. Doing this will cradle the fold for an easy pierce with the awl and saving you workspace from piercing scars. Second tip: to thread the ribbon (or cord, or whatever) buy a package of floss (yes for teeth) threaders for like $2 and get a whole bunch of re-usable threaders. I'm going on 5 years now and have most of the package unused! They have a huge loop for whatever you are using to sew with, and a stiff narrow end to push through the hole. Easy peasy!

I can't believe I'm just finding this video! Oh, how I love this, Heather. Thank you for sharing how to create this beautiful journal.

thank you so much for this video! I’ve looked around all over YouTube for the “perfect” junk journal starting video.
