Turn an old book into a no-sew junk journal Beginner-friendly tutorial

i also have that lil green Observer's book for altered book journaling. it's so cute. it's one of my fav sizes, paper colours, images. i had to redo the end papers cz the glue on the spine was crumbling.
wish books had a more standardized size system w common sizes based on regions. like actual paper sizes.
finding smaller books is difficult.

❤❤❤

Awesome journal.❣ 😃👍🏼

Love it, thanks so much for sharing!

Like the book cover for this type of journal❤

Fabulous tfs❤

Thank you for sharing. I have enjoyed watching you put the no sew journals together. Pritt glue stick is also my favorite glue stick. 🌸

Love this!! Especially how chunky it gets with all the little journals inside!! And using the book covers for the outsides is SOO great!! Love it so much!! <3

Ooooh. I do love these that you make ❤

Thank you for showing how to make this. Love how it turned out! Great idea to add the other weeks journals in it.

I get so excited to see your videos. They are just so much fun. Love you did an explanation of making the concertina journals. I love the idea of the old book cover. I made a cover for mine from a pie crust box covered in scrapbooking paper. I just tied it with a strip of hand dyed cheese cloth. You have been such an inspiration to me. I love these no-sew journals and like you have some I work in continuously. Thank you for teaching us. ❤

Thx for Inspiration

Lovely, thank you

Love this Meg. ❤️🫶🏽❤️🫶🏽…

You find the best floral books at your thrift stores!!! I haven't had that much luck and I am always thrifting here in Long Beach,California!!!

That was a simple and cute little journal ! I started one using all brown paper bags as a base. Now I need to do something with it! TFS🤗

Love this ❤❤😊😊 Thank you for sharing ❤️

I am amazed at your creative ideas for this ‘make as you go’ accordion book, I love it!! The overlapping and all the different papers make an awesome workspace to begin the last of the prompts! I think it is a great plan to keep all the journals in this hard cover book if it can work🙂👏. TFS❤️

I love that your last journal for the month is. A journal that can hold all the other little journals. That makes me so happy to think about it!

Really liked how you used the book covers ❤

this is such a creative way to do a junk journal. thanks so much for sharing the process with us 😍

Really love this idea Meg of containing the other mini no sew journals in one book. Can't wait to see how this one comes together.
Lovely as always.

Absolutely BRILLIANT! Well done!!!

This turned out nicee, I like the little pocket added 👌🏽✨✨

❤ this Meg. I've watched lots of your no sew accordion journal making tutorials. I found this one most the helpful because of the larger scale. I finally got it 😂 I'm definitely going to give it a go. Thank you ❤

What a unique idea and concept to use up your scrips and scraps. I will be giving this a try . You area genius. Thank you so much!

I have many old little books & love how you add scraps for the pages , can’t wait to try this 😊 Thank you Meg ❤

Love the twist of book covers with the accordion style. Sweet blue color too:) Really been enjoying the no sew challenge as well and what a cute bundle putting the little journals inside. Thanks Meg for the inspiration and another fun challenge!

Love this idea! So imaginative ❤️❤️. A journal with journals within it is awesome

Nice!

I looked up this book on line and it was 87.00 usd! It’s beautiful though

Meg: I really like that idea. This is something I might try. I really like the fact you don’t have to sew. I love gluing. Thank you. Carol from California

Love this! I have never used book covers but I have the perfect book cover to do this! I’m going to try this and will try to post a picture in one of your videos.

Meg, I absolutely love the accordion book inside the book cover! It really looks amazing and so finished! 🍁🧺🦃 Trish

Thanks so much for this! Just sent you a small thank you!
I love “no-sew”s! You not only made a no-sew, you made it into a concertina! Thanks for this! Well done!

Loving this journal Meg! Busy filling up my old sketchbooks from the '90s/2000s but I will definitely make one of these! So cute 😍
