Wax Paper Resist Technique  | Junk Journal Start to Finish Project | Idea Journal | Fabric Covered
Channel: Two Old Crows Mixed Media
Date: 06/02/2021

We are beginning to decorate the pages of this journal and I've decided to make it a reference book or an #IDEAJOURNAL.   As we complete the journal, we will learn and explore techniques and different ideas for page layout.  Each page will be labeled with the technique and the name of the video on my channel to reference for a refresher if needed!  
 
The playlist for this project is Junk Journal Start to Finish https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-pw1-ClhRrRGVdZ6tre8BXp4JQ3YNvYD for the journal construction and Idea Journal for the contents inside:  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-pw1-ClhRrSjmOotfTPYjJ_-ob_56LR8

This #Junkjournal is covered in a 100% cotton fabric and is an evolving project - It will be created start to finish.  When I first started creating these journals there would always be one little thing I needed to learn to get the book completed and to find it I would have to watch unlimited minutes of other stuff to find the direction I needed.  Therefore, in the creation of this book, I'm trying to break the process down step by step so the videos can be referenced in the playlist for just what you need!  

The playlists will be divided into three components
Journal Construction | Journal Page Layout | Journal Ephemera

Construction
1.  Create the Cover  https://youtu.be/-YgyGQ2NKfQ
2.  Create the signature covers with the gel press. and generating additional sheets to be tucked away in the project folder for use when decorating the pages 
Putting the signatures together -- choosing papers, inserts and trimming and sewing on embellishments that must be done prior to binding the book.  https://youtu.be/GQzTv8VWxII
3. Cover and Decorate the Inside Front and Back Covers https://youtu.be/RYM9VtdNCjM
4. Binding the signatures into the book
  
Page Layout
5. Laying out the pages (page design) and decorating 
We will be going through each page of the journal creating decorative borders and interest on each page.  Tuck Spots, Pockets, Bands, etc.

Look for a host of videos as we walk through the journal designing, and creating each page.  We will create the page layout - set up the structure, then flip over to an ephemera video to fill it up!

Ephemera
6. Making the ephemera 
     We will be creating  notepads (waterfall, concertina, expandable). bookmarks, journaling cards, altered paperclips,  baubles and all kinds of things to decorate our journal ending with our spine jewelry
