A very gentle rub of fine grain sandpaper might be enough to give good adhesion from glue for books 👍 great video mind 😀

Great idea! Sanding the glossy covers of the books will help the adhesive grab onto it and make a stronger hold! Sometimes it’s hard to remember all of the different techniques! Especially being a newbie like me! I guess the more you do the more you learn! Thanks now I need to pick up a sanding block or at least find some sheets of sandpaper in the garage!

100% agree. It's called junk journaling for me. Agreed with your entire comment. I liked no thrills/chatter -- this is a tutorial.

I used to do that with my math exercise books! Well, not as detailed and neat as yours, but I used to stick the covers of the books together with tape (a bit like your taping step, but I wrapped the whole length of the cover). Every time I filled a book, I would just stick it to the back of the (math journal? Lol). At the end of every school year, I would have this massive tome of hand written maths problems and equations and I would be very proud of it. It is just so satisfying to use massive tomes for guideline or reference

Johanna , one week ago I became interested in your channel because making journals by using scrap material inspired me alot. Because I have a lot of old beautiful pages ,covers and wedding invitations ( in india alot of money is spent on weddings and even on the wedding invitations . They are so extravagant). I learned to sew sheets by your tutorial and I have started making my first journal. Every day , I watch some of your vedios to get more ideas from your vedios. Indian wedding invitations are boxes , cards ,sweets etc. And many other gifts can also come along.. I love to collect these pretty boxes and cards because they are made of great paper and cardboard quality and are so beautiful. But people usually throw them away because after all they are just invitations to someone's wedding.. 😕 Lots of love from India and I just love your way of explanations, ideas and work 💜

This would be a good way for them to physically do there budget and see what's going where. What they have to do,what due when and write out there thoughts without holding them in. If religious they can write down stuff for them to focus on. Especially since each section can be for one specific topic. Or something for children to do for school

This was one of the first videos that I watched from Johanna's channel. It inspired me to start to make junk journals and this led me to Juni Desiree's channel - another aussie! Thank you to both of you for your amazing videos and the hard work that goes into bringing new content to us.

Hi, Johanna. I am a book and paper person, and I love pens and ink and all things to do with writing,. Since so many of the people I know do emails exclusively, I feel like my life has turned into an episode of Fahrenheit 451. I am so glad to see that there are people who value the written word enough to build themselves a Journal/notebook/whatever to write in. I enjoyed the project and the video made it very clear and understandable. Thank you, and keep up the good work!

I recently found you in my recommendations a while back, and ever since I started watching you I've grown a passion for this kind of stuff. Thank you for helping me find a new thing I love 😊

I'm so surprised with the idea. How simple but ingenious way to use plain note books. I jot down all my ideas for makes and often run out of journal space ending up with several books a year so this is great. Thanks for such a clear technical tutorial. Stay safe too!

I kept a few of my sons exercise books from grade 1 to grade 7 just as a memento, ( they are both now in their 30s) now i will bind them a book each, love it , thanks for the inspiration

Love this! You could use a tab punch and decorate card to decorate where the covers are back to back, like dividers xx

I've been making journals quite a while and never saw anyone build one like this! Brilliant.

I love this!!! Gives me an idea for next year’s garden journal! Stay healthy and practice social distancing (except where your kids are concerned). 💕

Just a thought, gluing things like that together it can help if you lightly sandpaper the surfaces first

I'm so glad I learned how to combine more than one composition book to make a larger book. I can't wait to get started. Thank you! 😊

I loved this. It's a less expensive way and really creative and cute. I really don't get people who dislike this kind of video. It's satisfying and really a great idea on a budget.

This is an awesome idea! I love it! Such a refreshing burst of sunshine in these crazy days. God bless you and your family.

Thank you for this! I love it and will be trying to make one myself as soon as I can get ahold of the supplies! I love your journaling, style and taste! Thank you for all the inspiration! ❤️

Finally a simple and easy journal for those of us that do not have lots of free time. Thank you so very much. Love it.

I love this!!! I have kept a journal since 2010 and I never thought to make my own but I am going to try with my next one!! It is so fun and you can customize it!!

I live your tutorials Johanna!! From a beginner paper-er, I appreciate these, thanks

I love this project. I made some covers a few years ago, but didn't know how to add the tablets. Wish I'd have been watching crafts on here back then. I still have one of the covers and will be able to finish it with this technique. Fave the other one and it's paper pads to a friend back then.

Nice! I used to do that, when I was at school; forgotten all about it, and now I found you here doing the same kind of crafting. I am really delighted

I absolutely loved this video! Has a really chill and calming tone. I also love your voice! This video inspired me to make my own journal, I’ve even journaling for a long time but I’ve rarely made my own. Nice video! 👍💕📓

I love this journal, anyone can make it, but with your guidance and talent for ideas, Thank you I appreciate the work you put into this one and totally love it, Thank you xx💚

Johanna, you never fail to inspire me, and many others. Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy life. Stay well and safe💗

This is so great and so doable. I can’t wait to make one. What a great gift for someone.

I love decorative books and always wants to make my own. I have crafting material and thanks for showing that you don't have to spend too much to have such a lovely book that can be for myself and for gifts...Thanks

I will be doing this today! I feel the need to write about my thoughts about this current situation. Even just writing down the price of groceries at this time, about time spent with my mom as she is dying, and about my son coming of age. He will be 15 this summer. Also my happy memories with my husband, how we make creative dates that don’t cost money. You have a new subscriber! I like how you made this easy and interesting. Not to mention, affordable. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

This is amazing Johanna!! Absolutely loved this simple idea, will definitely give this a go after I've used the ones I already have, thank you for sharing 😊❤️

Thank you for this tutorial. Your instructions are so clear, that I'm going to go through it again and pause after each step as I make my own. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Finally found a tutorial on how to make a cute journal💖 all the others always required so many things that were expensive and sewing. I can see but sewing on paper...not the way to go. This is something I will definitely try ✨✨

This is genius I love love love this journal I'm definitely gonna try my hand at this one ♥️♥️♥️♥️

oh i love this! it could be used as a story writing book, in which a story is written in every exercise book! Then u have them all together, like a collectors edition!

I love this video so much. Sometimes I get overwhelmed just trying to get started and I just absolutely love how you make things that even beginners can have success with. You are amazing

Looks really pretty and I like that it has sections. Perfect. Thank you.

I love this journal, style vintage, so charm.

Such a wonderful idea! Thank you for sharing!! Blessings during this difficult time.

I love how you created a journal with such a practical method. You picked easy to find materials and everything you did seems doable. Now I’d like to learn some practical ways to fill the interior of the journal, and then I’ll be all set. 😊

I just used this to turn my old barely worked in exercise books from school into a 206 page notebook! 😄 really simple instructions thank you so much 💚

I am going to try this. I've made orhers, but I love the look of this one. Thank you for the tutorial.

Watching this at 4 in the morning. My eyes are failing me. I really love the design of wat you made, very affordable and pretty

This is my second time watching this video. Brilliant!!! Thank you for showing those of us who aren't real "artsy" how to make easy journals.

I have seen so many craft videos that are cool but that I would never actually do. Not the case with this one, I want to make one of these! It came out so beautiful!!

This is neat. I have different stories that I come up with & I can't find the tablets right away or much later, but this is great 5/6 stories in one book at once with space for doodling. Thanks for the new project.

This is such a good idea. Yours turned out beautiful. Thank you for such inspiration.

It's a beautiful finished journal. It may be doable. Thank you for sharing Johanna Clough.

This brought me back again to journaling daily. I will definitely try this to my notebooks for a more personlised writing.

Just love ALL your videos💕 Love this idea-I think these are like “composition” books sold at the Dollar stores here-great idea!!! Sending blessings from Arizona USA🌵❤️

Being bored at home really makes me wanna do crafts so I've been making stuff like this it's really nice thank you for the video!

I’ve watched literally hundreds of tutorials for journals, junk, art, etc., and I can confirm that YOURS are the best and that they are copied all over the world, but your originality, WONDERFUL CLEAR instructions, beautiful gentle voice (not overexcited!, shrill, or delivered as to a small child or visually challenged people! 🙄 e.g.: “I’m holding a bottle of glue and I am going to glue it”! 😡) makes it a pleasure to watch!

I've had bookmaking experiences, but failing when I watched this video made me experience the booking process and I managed to get the book thick enough to succeed.

I really liked how you did that, great job! and it looked very simple and quick!

I am seeing this for the first time in 2022. I just want to say thank you for taking time to share this demonstration. I just recently started learning how to make stitched junk journals, and I am glad you posted a no-stitch version, too. I really like your videos. They are informative, entertaining and relaxing. Thank you for being an inspiration. I look forward to seeing more posts by you in the future. Keep making and creating. Sincerely, K.

Beautiful, as all of your projects are❣️

This is so fracking smart, I haven’t seen anyone do this! Thank you so much, also so gorgeous !🧡

I absolutely love this idea. I'll definitely be making a few of them soon.

My kids high school teachers have been teaching their students to glue their notebooks together....so they'll have them all together for note taking for the year... The teachers are onto something awesome... I never thought to cover those big chunky notebooks to make them look better... Thanks for the tutorial 💜

Woooow it is sooo beautiful!^^ U are really talented! Just luv it! :3

You're so talented ❤ what a fun video. Thanks so much for sharing❤

Thank you for this video. I really like the idea of doing a journal with composition books. I will do one for my son. He was told by his therapist to keep a journal. Personalizing one would make it more fun. Have a terrific week.

Love this, oh the creative ideas people possess. Great job

I just loved the creativity of this book. We can almost find all the material in our stach and get going. Thank you for sharing. Love it from Canada!

I made 2 of these using 3 composition notebooks and just love how they turned out. They are so fun to make.

Thank you . That is very nice and the material and paint make it look pretty.

I made a small notebook yesterday! Thank you so much! It worked out perfectly.

Love it. It's a great idea. Gonna use lots of notebooks I already and do this kind of book binding. Thank you so much for all your inspiration. Always perfect 😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

So beautiful. Even for junk journaling in

very cool and widely customizable methods. All the best ! Thank you !

Thanks so much I use your video most because I normally just use lots of videos together and make my own book yours you’re my main one because I love you craft so much

I always admired the picture of the finished book when I was looking for DIY journal and finally took a look - well done! It is absolutely lovely. How is it holding up to usage? Anything that would make you design it differently next time?

Brilliant... ♥️thank you so much for sharing- this would be such a fun project to do with the kids :))

So Lovely! I'm going to make a junk garden journal...you were my inspiration! Thank you!

I am going to give it a try. It really looks so beautiful. And the finished product is all of you.

Lovely tutorial! I love how "yummy" the journal looks! LOL. I suggest a light sanding of the covers would allow for better adhesion.Thank you so much! I want to try this!

I used to do this for my history notes in school though later on I just started buying a 500 pages notebook with a hard bind. Regardless I just wanted say you have a very beautiful voice.☺

Definitely trying this, all the other homemade journals are way too complicated for me to bother with but this looks great

This is going in my “research” playlist ... this is amazing and so easy and I just have to do a few different to make it the way I want ... like with sewing a lot least than making it from scratch and then use leather for the cover 🤩 I’m so excited to try

I just figured out what I'm gonna gift to my bff.. thanku 👼💖💖💖

How do these journals hold up after using them for a long time? I’m concerned about the glue & tape holding everything together. This is a great idea so much easier and less time than others I’ve seen. Good job. Thanks for sharing.

Just ordered stuff to make this tomorrow. Looks great. Thankyou for sharing

I love the way you created this journal! Great ideas! Tyfs!
