How About Some Paper Crafts?

It’s Easter Sunday, and I’m sure many of you have plans today. If you do not have any plans, I hope you have a relaxing day doing whatever makes you happy. We’re still on our biweekly video schedule for the time being, and it happens that this is an off week. Well, kind of (Bree is totally working on a video as I write this). Still, the next new video will be coming next week. We can’t wait to get back to weekly uploads, and hopefully that will be sooner than later. As soon as we go back to weekly uploads, I’ll certainly post about it here.

Aside from catching up with some family, I plan to get a little drawing in today. If there’s time, I would also like to spend some more time learning how to use some tech I recently purchased for a future project we have in the works. But that said, I might just catch up with the fam and do some relaxing, low stakes, sketching in my journal—it is a holiday after all. Either way, you can be sure I’ll have videos playing in the background the whole time.

If you’re like me and plan to spend some time today doing creative work with YouTube playing on the side, let me suggest a playlist. Check out our playlist of Paper Crafts and DIY videos at the link below!

Junk Journal with Me Episode 4

A new Junk Journal with Me episode is live today! Today’s video might be pretty useful, as Bryonna discusses using the journal for goal setting. With the new year upon us, it is a good time to think about our goals. One of my personal goals for the year is to finally finish some of the books I began reading this year (I tend to put books down and take far too long to pick them back up again!).

What goals do you have for the new year? Watch the video below, and get some inspiration for how to record them!

We're Back!

We’re back, baby! After much effort, we’ve finally gotten to a place with the big studio move where we can get back to business as usual. That was kind of a wordy sentence, but I’m going with it. Grammatical considerations aside, I’m excited for the next chapter in the 1134 Press story; I hope you are too. 

We are looking to add a slightly different style of video to our YouTube repertoire. There will still be the videos that you are already used to, but we are flirting with the idea of including more process-oriented videos; these would be a little shorter and primarily focus on the construction of various papercrafts. 

This week’s video (posted Wednesday evening), is in the style described above. I think the video has a chill vibe and is good inspiration for creativity. Check it out at the link and subscribe if you haven’t already!

Thanks everybody, and we hope you’ve had a happy and safe holiday! 

Eco Dyeing Paper for Receipt Collage

I think our most recent video might be my favorite. Bryonna tries something new this time, and the results are varied. Ultimately, something really cool is produced. Without spoiling anything for the video, I’ll just say it was quite the science experiment.

The video is linked below. Check it out for more paper-crafting inspiration, and learn some fun techniques for eco dyeing paper! Also, the handcrafted receipt dispenser that Bryonna shares at the end of the video is so cool—you have to check it out!

Making a Mini Booklet for Your Junk Journal

Last week we posted the first part in a series of videos. In the first of the series, we went through how to make a junk journal. This week, we add to it. We like to fill our junk journals with a lot of fun stuff. With that in mind, a great thing to include in your junk journal is a mini-booklet. The options are limitless, but in this week’s video we show you how to create a booklet with a window in the cover (there is also collage involved, so … fun!).

See the video below and follow along with Bree as she creates a mini booklet for the junk journal. Like, follow, and subscribe to catch all of our videos when they come out. Also, feel free to send us a message or leave a comment. We would love to see any suggestions for book projects!
