Today, we're going to make some side tucks, which are really nice for holding extra papers, ephemera, and anything else extra that you want to put in your journal.

We're gonna do something super easy, but fun, that will help get rid of some of those beautiful notecards we've been hoarding. I'll show you a few different ways to use them. (This did get cut off just slightly, but basically in the part that got cut off, I just showed you how to use the paperclip we made to hold the card in, letting the beads dangle on the side of the journal.)

Let's make a belly band! (It's not what it sounds like!) I also show how to make a very simple bookmark.
Binding in a couple days:
In addition to the items I mentioned that you'll want for binding your journal, I forgot to mention binder clips, which you can get at the Dollar Tree or WalMart. Get the large ones!!! We will be binding in a couple more videos. For this step (not today, but in a couple days), you need:
An awl - https://amzn.to/2DWxmdM
Twine or other binding material - This is the leather cord like I used (lots of color choices here): https://amzn.to/2JtkgIz
Crewel embroidery needle - https://amzn.to/2VJWr6b
Beads (optional): https://amzn.to/2VNeLeD
Binder clips: They have these at the Dollar Tree. Get big ones! If you don’t want to leave home, here they are on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2VoEkTH
Something softish-hard to put your journal on while you make the holes. (I use a piece of relatively soft wood. Some people use books that they’re taking pages out of.)
The printed trims I used in this video were from the MelodiMade kit I'm using throughout this journal. You can find the kit here: https://melodimade.com/product/floriculture-digi-kit/?v=7516fd43adaa&fbclid=IwAR3r3ahmkPTEc-mB_OmMUicEBaBs0Amh6mmEK4t3cISDAgN8ftPN0WpuYVY

One of the easiest and most useful things to add to your journal is a Rita Donnelly flip. In addition to those, we make one of the pockets from the digikit. This video does cut off, so I'm posting the second part, which is short, on the same day, just a little later so it's not confusing about which comes first. Sorry about that! The second part is here: https://youtu.be/4C656dIu7Ro It's only a couple minutes, but I do show you how to make this into a side pocket.

We're going to put a small lace belly band on a pocket for our journal. Then, we'll put our pockets into our journal. Some will be top loading; others will load from the side.You can glue everything instead of sewing. You don't need to have a sewing machine to do great junk journals!
Remember to have a box or tub to keep your scraps in! There are so many ways to use them!

Let's add some words to our simple pockets, then figure out where to place them in the journal. You could do this with poetry, quotes, or just words ... but do you see how it adds to the interest of the pockets?

We're going to create a few very, very simple pockets in this video. (I'm sorry about the vertical orientation again. Still trying to figure out how to avoid that. It looked horizontal when I was filming.)The pages I reduced and recolored for this are from the kit. They are the rose page, which is the 16th page in the kit, and the 19th page which is an ecodyed page (looks kind of like marble). I used GoogleDocs to reduce and recolor. If you don't want to do that, you could always just cut up one of the pages to make pockets.

TUTORIAL/CRAFT WITH ME: Exploring the new MelodiMade Floriculture junk journal digikit. (Part 1/30 )
Let's talk about digital kits (digikits): What are they? How do I use them? I'll be taking you along with me for the next 30 videos, as I work on this journal, with step-by-step tutorials geared especially toward newbies.This kit is now available! You can get it at https://melodimade.com/product/floriculture-digi-kit/?v=7516fd43adaa&fbclid=IwAR3r3ahmkPTEc-mB_OmMUicEBaBs0Amh6mmEK4t3cISDAgN8ftPN0WpuYVY
I asked Melodi about how she made these pages. This is what she wrote: "The images are vintage botanical drawings. The background is ecodyed paper, I grabbed foliage on my beach retreat and came home and boiled it with the paper then dried it, scanned it in and voila!It’s awesome because it’s unique💗" I agree!!
What's a design team (DT)? That's just a group of people who have been given a work by an artist and asked to "do their thing" with it, to help others imagine how they might be able to use it. It's always fun and inspiring to look at the various design team videos. You can see how one kit can be used completely differently by various people and each person adds their own personality to it, along with items from their already existing stash.
I'm working on a separate series for new junk journalers, and will show you in that series how I gather extra images from various places, work on these things on Canva, make easier changes on GoogleDocs, etc. This will be a separate series sometimes later. If you have particular questions about anything about junk journal creating, please feel free to write those below. That will give me time to plan for those questions in that series ... and get answers if I don't know.
I referred to my Abraham journal. You can find the flip through for that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeuG7Z-ASZM If you want to see the entire tutorial series, it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94lu5H4nA7M&list=PL-qJGkcLR7n4w9HCuZ2NxR4jB8tLvaLOa

I don't have a lot of time, but I want to make a simple journal for a friend. Although I'm making this for a guy, you could easily make it for a girl or a woman by simply changing the colors. I'm going to fill this with blank coffee-dyed paper and bind it with leather.
Here's the cutting board I said I'd link. I love this board as it does it all! I think there are 13 or 14 functions if I remember right. You can get it here: https://amzn.to/3pcef4Z (Note that if you use this link, I'll get a little kickback from Amazon, but it doesn't cost you anything extra. Same with any other links to Amazon. It just helps keep me off the street and outa trouble.)
