 All right, hey guys. Here I wanted to show you what you could do with some of those fabric scrap embellishments we've been working on. So here I'm literally at a little tray table because all of my work surfaces in my office are full of fabric scraps and sewing machines and bits and pieces and craziness. So anyway, we're at this little tray table and I've got my magazine journals here and I've got them all made and covered except for the spine which I left to last. I'm using YesPaste not only because it's a really strong PVA sort of book binding glue, but because it has a long drying time, a long working time and I can really play with pushing the fabric around without worrying it's gonna dry on there too quickly and I'm gonna hate it. If you don't know what a magazine journal is, I will link a couple of videos in the description below including the video live stream recording from the originator who is Dee Dee William. I think she's Inkwell here on YouTube and a couple of my friends who have followed suit and we all find her technique for this fascinating. So we're all kind of doing the same thing as her following her idea, following her lead if you will. So I went ahead and made mine and now I'm taking one of my strips of fabric scrap embellishment and I'm gonna decorate the front edge of the spine. I could leave it there with the plain canvas. I did cover it with the plain canvas but I wanted to just pretty it up just a little bit. So I put down some YesPaste and I'm putting my little fabric scrap embellishment on there and then taking a damp baby wipe to wipe the extra glue off. I do have a boo-boo there on my front cover. I don't know what happened, something wet got on it. So I'm taking another little piece of halfway art and I'm putting that on the cover and see you already have these pieces done and ready and ready to go so that when you work on a piece like this you can just quickly add them on and decorate your page or a journal cover and have something really interesting. So that was really quick and easy and I'm just, yeah, I'm just getting all the little extra globs of glue off and then set that aside. Now YesPaste does take a really long time to dry so you have to leave it overnight. I have another one there that I wanna do. One of them is a magazine like Didi uses in her video. This one here is actually one of those financial statement books that you get in the mail every once in a while when you have financial investment kind of thing going on or 401K or whatever and this one was pretty thick and made out of actually nice paper which is not the norm. So I thought, huh, that would be interesting to use that and it's just full of text in the background so it would be interesting to use. So I glued it together and I covered it with some random scrapbooking paper that I just had in my stash. I'm actually not sure where that scrapbooking paper came from. I don't remember buying it. Might have come in Happy Mail, I don't remember and I'm gonna cover the spine with another piece of the plain canvas that I have and these are just scraps and things that I had. I'm gonna make sure all the edges are glued down there with the yes paste with my palette knife and then wipe away the extra glue, the excess glue with the damp baby wipe. Then do the same to the front cover, wipe it away with a baby wipe and then add a piece of another scrap embellishment. This is a different one that I did. I don't know that you saw me make this one on camera. This is another one I broke a needle on because of all those beads that are on there. A lesson to be learned there is don't sew beads on beads because be careful, you'll break a needle. And I'm going to make sure I get all the pieces and parts sewn down. I'm gonna shove a little extra glue under where the beads are so they don't unravel and come off and push it down, wipe it away with a damp baby wipe and there we go. So I hope this gives you some ideas of what you can do with your scraps and your halfway art, your scrap embellishments. And if you wanna watch Didi's video, I'll link it in the description below. If you wanna join one of my Facebook groups, send me happy mail, send me an email, shop in my Etsy shop, support my channel that way. Any of those things, check out the video description. The most important thing though, you all know what it is. Go out and I want you to have a great day, make some art, create some journals, do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later.
