Hello my friends on youtube I'm sharing this very easy tutorial on how to make an easy journal book and at the same time that looks great and unique, I had a hard time loading up this video, youtube still has not giving me the 15 min. standard for everybody, although my account says that I do, well, I don't it only takes 10 darn min. and it's driving me insane, so here is the part I could get in, hope you all enjoy it, I will load up a picture video of this particular project so you can see a finished work. cheers
Material needed:
4 middle tab manila folders
2 12x12 designer paper for covers
1 12x12 medium chipboard
1 piece of grunge paper cut at 53/4x4
Page binding fasteners rings made from paper and color them to look just like the tags fasteners
2 metal ring binders 1 ½ size
Measurements:
Pages and covers for book are the same, 8x53/4
Make holes on the pages and coves in the same place
To adhere the grunge paper to covers I use hot glue, and to add the decorative paper to covers I use my ETG gun and cover all (just front and back covers with matte medium gel)
