3 Easy Swing Elements That Hide Secret Journaling Spots!

Discover Swing Elements! Want to add a little surprise to your junk journals? In today's tutorial I'm sharing three easy interactive swing elements that add movement, hidden journaling space, and extra storage to your pages! We'll create: 🌿 A swinging envelope with a hidden journaling area behind it 🌿 Oversized swing tags with secret writing spots underneath 🌿 A beautiful swing cluster that hides a pocket beneath the embellishment These interactive pieces look decorative at first glance, but each one reveals an unexpected surprise when you lift or swing it open. I installed all of these elements into my Garden Whispers Journal using a varitey of peices from the Collection,. These techniques will work beautifully with any paper or journal theme. If you enjoy creating journals with hidden details, interactive pages, and practical pockets, I think you'll have so much fun adding these ideas to your own projects. ✨ Supplies Used: • Garden Whispers Collection : https://www.etsy.com/strfrnt/skbllxl2... • Vintage book pages • Ledger paper • Tea-dyed papers • Seam binding • Brass fasteners • Basic junk journaling supplies If you enjoy interactive journal ideas, don't forget to subscribe so you won't miss future tutorials! 🩷 Join the Silver & Sparkles YouTube community & memberships: Ā Ā Ā /Ā @silverandsparkles2474Ā Ā  ✨ Helpful Links & Favorite Supplies ✨ When you shop using the links below, I may receive a small commission—at no extra cost to you.
