This week’s Tiny Tuesday project shows how to create a no-sew tab-bound envelope journal using just a few envelopes and simple supplies.
This technique creates a small journal structure with built-in pockets and pages ready to decorate. Because there is no sewing involved, it’s a great option for beginners or for quick creative projects.
You can make this envelope journal in almost any size. Simply change the envelope size or the number of envelopes you use. Then decorate the pages with your favorite papers, inks, stamps, and embellishments.
In the video, I also share a quick trick for matting envelope flaps so they look nicely finished. This simple step adds a little extra detail to your pages.
If you enjoy making journals or exploring new binding methods, this is a fun technique to add to your crafting toolbox.
