 Hello everybody, welcome to my channel. It's Eva from Bohemian crafting. Thank you so much for visiting me today I've got here this beautiful Atlas book page and I think that it's the best start for making some kind of travel folio some small travel folio or maybe Penpal folio if you want to do Traveling theme for your pen penpal envelopes or folios So what I would like to do I could hear a bunch of cards and mini booklets Which I made from my collage paper. I Had few sheets with kind of same design or I mean same colors So I cut them on pieces and I do have here these booklets the size is 17 and a half Centimeters by nine and a half centimeters in inches it is Just let me have a look six and seven eights by Three and three quarter they are kind of similar ish So I'm gonna use this bunch of my booklets and tags like my measurement and I'm gonna start to fold my my beautiful double-sided or Double-page and I think I want to have this inside and this one outside like I'm guessing so I Would like to create some pockets and maybe some nice openings. I'm gonna place my bunch of those cards Close to the corner and I'm gonna use my sewing machine. So I'm gonna count You know space for my sewing here and I'm just gonna simply fold this one over my these cards and matching the the page here and Fold that rest Just like this And I'm gonna place it back so here I can Create a pocket for this bunch of booklets so that rest I'm gonna wrap around To make sure I will have their Pocket big enough to store Bunch of these cards So I'm gonna wrap it all around and that will be starting of my Mini folder or mini booklet. I'm a Kind of watching those sides to match them to make sure that that folding will be good and Also with this folding I'm kind of making a little bit bigger space if you will notice here. I do have kind of like a bigger space To make sure once I will put something inside. I will hopefully have Big space to close this and this one. I'm gonna keep like it is for now That will be probably closure. So what I'm gonna do now. I'm gonna open it Take my scissors and Where there is a fold here. I'm gonna cut these folds just to that middle fold I do have cut these Folds like this and Now I need to extend this one a little bit because here it's not going till the end so I'm thinking I I'm gonna Take off this one and here I'm gonna just rip it off You can use scissors and cut it straight, but I don't mind if that edge will be a little bit ripped off First I'm gonna kind of design the pocket and then I will extend this one Here I would like to have Two pockets so what I can do I can just fold it this way and I will have pocket here and pocket here or I can Cut the part of this one and that's what I'm gonna do this has 6 and 3 quarter of inch. I'm gonna take my centimeter Much more better with centimeters. I'm gonna make a mark. So first pocket First pocket will be shorter that second pocket. I want to make a little bit longer. So first pocket This is 17 centimeters. So first I will make 7 centimeters that next one will be 10 centimeters and here again from that fold 7 And here I'm gonna cut it with my scissors This one I can draw here because that will be inside So I'm gonna cut this Like this. So I will have one pocket and this will go behind So that will be second pocket and this one I think I'm gonna take it off as well So right now I do have one longer here one short and one piece here And I do have those two pieces one. I will use Here to create pocket from this side and I will use a part of this to reinforce the fold here And I will also reinforce the edge from one side. So here one side. I'm gonna just fold it by hand I will say about half inch fold And I'm gonna glue it together to reinforce the edge of this pocket. So here I'm gonna Glue it And I because I would like to have that also sewing effect. I'm gonna take my sewing machine and sewn Here is that reinforced edge. So I'm gonna sew here here and here just decorative stitching And I'm gonna do exactly same with this small one. So I'm gonna Fold it a little bit by hand Glue this top and do exactly same stitching So I did zigzag sewing Not sewing sewing zigzag sewing all around of those three edges And I also used distress ink from ranger walnut stain distressing and I kind of distressed the edges to make them a little bit more visible and darker I'm gonna save those two pieces for now one that large one will be here that smaller one will be here Here on this small one It's kind of you know Losing that visibility. So I'm gonna make it a little bit more visible I'm gonna use this linen t dyed paper And I'm just gonna glue that paper On my piece here, I will actually use that map As a background for this linen paper that linen paper. It's I think half inch smaller Then is that map On this side Or on this this measurement it's half inch smaller here is a little bit longer But I don't mind that will be hidden behind So this way That map will be just like background paper. So it will be like this here And here on the top Again, I would like to use that map as a background holder So I'm gonna use I think this pocket This is my very small collection. I do have there one more sheet somewhere here For travelers And I'm gonna cut this. This is like pocket. So I'm gonna use that hopefully that will be Big enough. So I did fussy cut out that pocket and before I will glue it down. It's actually exact Exact size. That's good Before I will glue it on on my base. I'm gonna do that sewing Uh zigzag sewing on this part as well and I'm gonna distress it as well to kind of, you know, match all these together I do have my zigzag stitching here done as well. I went a little bit here You know that sewing will reinforce these edges. So I'm okay with that So I do have zigzag stitching and I did also that distressing with same distress ink Now I can take a glue and glued that pocket right here Like this I'm gonna let it dry and with this I will have one pocket here So my pocket it's holding and now I can work on that rest. I do have here the pocket for here and Pocket for here. I'm not sure if I will place it straight away I may will Okay, I'm gonna Place a glue Here will be entry So I'm gonna place a glue on this side on the bottom and on this side And I'm gonna place my extra pocket here We'll make sure That it will don't go over those folds here and here This last fold I can you know, I can manage that later to kind of Oh, how is that right word to adapt it To the book once it will be a roll it together. So this this fold here I can adapt To the rest of that booklet I'm gonna let it dry here And I will work on this one. I'm gonna use my distress ink and to make sure I'm I'm feeling comfortable with all this I'm gonna use my distress ink and distress all the edges all around so I have distressed From all sides And then now I'm gonna build it up. I can Extend this pocket. I'm gonna take just some t-dye paper. I've got here some leftover from From calender. So that will be perfect. I guess Oh, that will be perfect this way I can place it that this way Okay, I'm gonna use my page from calender and reinforce or extend That Atlas page with that I will be missing here small piece. So I will probably make a layers You don't need that big. No, no I will glue this all piece Where I need to put glue here is ending My Atlas page So I'm gonna put a glue On that rest Which is supposed to be like underneath So somewhere here will be finishing my Atlas book and I want to see these Like a cute embellishment here In this part where I can use that I already Fuzzy cut out those images from my Small collection for for travel So maybe I can use something from here Why do not use this one? I think I can and I'm gonna Place it On that corner So I do have extend all this piece And because I didn't glue it everywhere. I'm gonna use my sewing machine and do sewing uh here And around this label And I have used again a zigzag stitching here. I did the zigzag from this point to the end of that the Atlas page and here I did the zigzag stitching around And before I will sew it on these two sides to create a pocket I'm gonna take my Atlas page and I will create pocket from here The part of that Atlas page will go over this fold to reinforce it And also make this pocket a little bit shorter because if I will glue it here it will be kind of long Here I'm gonna use a glue put a glue On these two short sides And on the bottom of this page And here I will put About one inch. I think it was the space which I which I will layer over So it's on the opposite side Where I made that Fold And I'm gonna put a glue also here where I do have fold here So now I can place my Atlas page over it the way I think I want it. I think yes this So you think my pocket It's nearly dry. I'm not gonna Move it yet Properly. I still have space here and I can use maybe some picture From these and I also glued a strip of From this collection here like decoration You can take some picture Something small Or maybe that boat I think I will need to make it shorter because then when I will wrap it up I don't want to ruin this picture. So maybe I can make it a little bit shorter and use it here Okay, I'm gonna decorate this top one before I will sew it. So that's uh that boat or that That ship I'm gonna cut a little bit not both The ship this is quite bigger So I'm gonna cut it here just slightly to make it a little bit smaller This fits exactly so I can place it straight away So I did cut the boat or that picture To the side so which can fit here. I'm gonna put a glue just slightly on three edges And again, I will use stitching this time. I will use just straight stitching Because I like that look With stitching so I'm gonna put that boat here Or that picture So pocket will be from here, I'm gonna sew So this with straight stitching on these three sides And I decided to go with the thrumbling from the opposite side Here so I'm gonna First glue it and then also used stitching I think because on this side I don't have any stitching. So here I will probably use the zigzag stitching And it will be also holder for some tuck I'm gonna place it there I do have done stitching the images on those three sides So as I will have pocket here pocket here pocket here and pocket here I'm thinking to use this also as a pocket from both sides And I'm gonna use also this sheet So first I'm gonna kind of Unsewn wrap it up As much nicely as I can at this moment I like this here. I'm gonna Mark Where it's ending and I'm gonna fold it a little bit more Inside to make sure That the top piece will be Not longer over this edge It will be somewhere here that will be good This one I'm gonna use like a pocket from here And this one I would like to use somehow like pocket here. I think this way I'm gonna just Fold it half glue it together to make it stronger I'm gonna make Straight stitching all around and distressed this piece. So I do have straight stitching around. I did distress it From that travel collection. I'm gonna take this label And I will fix it here, but before I will fix it. I'm gonna put eye not eyelets Brats Here so I'm gonna punch those dots To make a holes here I fixed those brats to this label. Now I'm gonna glue it Not be this way So I'm gonna glue it Well, I think I mean I will glue it here on the bottom of that like on the bottom of that pocket We'll try to place it in the middle And I will use also this pocket As a holding for closure for closure. I'm gonna punch One inch circle I've got here this piece. I used Seriali box, which I covered with the book pages. So first I'm gonna punch the hole three 16 of inches somewhere on that Piece like this. Now I'm gonna take one inch circle punch Place that hole in the middle. I think I'm Right there And here Somewhere here draw inch hole Right here, and I think it will be good to reinforce it from the bottom I did glue two pages together, but still it's just paper. So I'm gonna Reinforce it a little bit You could hear these plastic reinforcing circles and I'm gonna use Just one of them and just glue it around from inside of my pocket Just like this that will that plastic will reinforce That holding now I'm gonna take my circle one eyelet And this one millimeter elastic cord I'm gonna put my pocket right here where I will Sew it later on I'm gonna place The end of that elastic cord here Oops, I should keep it there, right? So somewhere in this spot. I do have that hole I'm gonna go this way on the end of my Of my pocket and go back And right here here. I'm holding it with my finger right here. I'm gonna cut that should be enough To go around then So I'm gonna take those ends place them inside Take my eyelet and that one inch circle And fix it all together I'm still holding those ends from that elastic cord and now I'm gonna fix it all together I'm gonna cut off these ends and I hope I said that right that it's one millimeter. I hope I haven't said one inch It's one millimeter elastic cord. I hope I said that right So now I am ready to open this My booklet This will be the top cover first. I'm gonna glue it on these three sides And then I will use my sewing machine and I will secure it with zigzag stitching So I do have a zigzag stitching all around. I do have here this cute envelope And I'm guessing I can actually use that so In the kind of like bottom of this small flap I've got here these bits and pieces I'm gonna do small collage for my bits and pieces So I decided I will glue the that envelope with the flap here on this flap like this So then it will be Pocket from here and it will be open this way like a you know unfold or Uncover this pocket here So I'm gonna distress it first again. I'm gonna use twalnut stain for distressing the edges I am going to grab my bits and pieces literally as you can see these are bits and pieces from every kind of papers And I'm gonna do small collage here using those bits and pieces I did my collaging from both sides now. I am ready to glue this on my flap and place that flap right here And let it dry here on the back side Right here I'm gonna lift this up I think this way And I'm gonna use Washi tape as well And it can go to that another part. Why not? Now I can take my sewing machine. I will wait a little bit once it's dry Yes, I'm gonna sewn with zigzag stitching All around with that zigzag stitching I will Fixed this side and this side. I will go all around this. I will have to Keep unfold it This way then I will glue it over. I don't want to sew probably through to here. Do I? Or maybe it will be good to have it sewn all Okay, I'm gonna put that glue and glue it straight away those two sides Here and here And glue it right there And now I can go with the zigzag stitching all around I made the zigzag stitching all around of this piece. So that way I do have pocket here. I do have pocket Here now I got to cut myself. I did glue it down. I do have pocket here and pocket here We do have one pocket here And this is not glued yet properly. So I'm just gonna take a small paper I do have one pocket here and another pocket will be there once it's Get glued. There is pocket there Behind that and now I'm gonna fold this flap Before I will I will probably stitch it here But before I will do so I'm gonna take my Envelope punch board Cropodile And I think I'm gonna take my envelope like a kind of like measurement or navigator one right here And one right here actually I'm gonna punch the hole and fix the eyelet Here and here I'm gonna fix their eyelets So I have fixed those eyelets and on those spots I marked. I do have here this strip This is kind of like folk's leather and I will go here To the eyelet And outside from this side and here to the eyelet and outside from the opposite side I need to make sure that it's straight Like this This will go around And this will go over it So these sides I'm gonna try to sewn. I'm not sure here because I do have that eyelet quite close to the edge So maybe I will don't get there with my sewing machine. I don't want to break the needle And I think I'm done with the base for my flopping penpal thingy or folio I can create some passport. I do have here Prints from my passport collection. So maybe some quickly I'm gonna put together some passport. There is so many images And photos and so many of these templates For passports, ID cards and also so many ephemeras all around and few different covers So I'm gonna probably do some very quick passports So I made ID like this with few pages and with the cover And I did make this kind of like ID card And I do have few Few small digital switch I can place into this small pocket for Decorating later this I can place here this I can place right here My ID card can go probably somewhere here. Who knows or I can actually use this front pocket for passport And this can go still here and I still have the pocket in there. Oh, I do have those cards I do have here my card for notes. So I should try and they are fitting nicely. So now I can wrap up my mini travel folder Close it all together And I'm done. I can decorate it a little bit more, you know with some washi tapes and stuff like that But for now that base it's done and I really like it. It's it's kind of fun. It does have so many pockets And I like all those openings here and pocket here And I do have there also writing spot I do have here those invitations to hotels I do have here a logbook Paper I do have here a picture and picture and ephemeras And this ID and photo and all that stuff. I think it's kind of cool to wrap it to that Map page. So this is my sharing for today. I hope you did enjoy it. I hope you will try something like this Just wrap up pages It's so much fun And to add those digitals It can be so amazing. So now I can just need to find the spot in my journal And I really think I can even add it to this botanical journal because you know As a botanist you can also travel Through the world to find some new species, you know something new To travel to visit some new places So maybe I can actually place it here. Can I might need some bigger? Bigger pocket. So I'm gonna find my bigger pocket. Where is it? I think it's right here. Yes And I can slide it there To my big pocket as a travel folder And I can leave it there It's kind of cool. I like it. So this is my sharing for today. I hope you did enjoy it Tutorial for this journal. It's now on my patreon including all digital collections. There is also The digital collections for those ID build an ID also this latest the travel collection So it's all on my patreon I will probably do some separate video on patreon because many people are asking me what is patreon about and what that means So I will make videos separately from this one. This is sharing just about that folder. Thank you so so much for visiting me today Thank you so much for spending your time with me. I hope you found some inspiration Have a beautiful day.
