Hello Everyone,
This video is a quick overview of how I constructed this mini journal from packaging. I was so inspired by the packaging in the July 2023 Your Creative Studio vintage stationery supply box, that I just had to make a journal out of it right away. I used the packaging from a set of vellum papers as the cover for my little mini pocket journal. I stitched it together with embroidery floss using a 3 hole pamphlet stitch. This is a super quick and easy way to make a small journal. I decorated the back of the cover (and hid the packaging details) with some white handmade paper from the December 2021 YCS box as well as some patterned cards from the June 2023 YCS box.

I hope you enjoy seeing this idea and some tried and true tips & tricks that I have learned along my journal making journey!

Thanks for watching!
