Viewer Request: Turn a Difficult Book into a Pocket Book Journal

Today’s project was inspired by a viewer request! I’m creating a pocket book journal using a book that many crafters might struggle to use or overlook. Instead of letting it sit on the shelf, we’re giving it a new purpose and turning it into a functional and creative pocket book. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through the process step-by-step, sharing tips for working with less-than-ideal books and showing how even challenging materials can become something beautiful. If you’ve ever wondered what to do with books that don’t seem suitable for journaling, this project might give you some fresh ideas! Let me know in the comments if you’ve made a pocket book before, and what unusual books you’ve transformed into journals. 👍 Like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more junk journal tutorials, book upcycles, and paper crafting inspiration. #junkjournal #pocketbook #bookupcycle #journalmaking #papercraft #junkjournaling My Etsy shop HTTPS://Www.etsy.com/shop/shabbydabby...
