If you would like to learn how to make a pretty soft cover junk journal, join me for this easy-to follow process!




Hey Guys!


Welcome to my channel and to another junk journal tutorial :)


In this video we will actually be making a whole journal from start to finish! I chose to make a soft cover journal, with some gorgeous embellishments to the outside cover, and beautiful papers inside. I hope you will enjoy this process and find some inspiration!


This video is actually an official tutorial for VectoriaDesigns, showcasing their new paper collection. I loved this one, and as soon as you see the papers you will know why :) It is full of my favorite colors, beautiful images, and it makes a gorgeous junk journal.


Below you will find the links to the kit if you would like to check it in their shop :) Also, I am including a supplies list and all the measurements.




Thank you for watching and have a wonderful day!
Martyna
