Hybrid Journal Swap - Dangles and Clips

Reminder: you can join these swaps at anytime. If you want to participate in the completed swaps or prepare for the final swap - all the information needed is posted in the forums.

Welcome to the sixth swap for our hybrid journals! We are getting away from paper for a bit and moving outside of the journal to create a few decorative elements.

Dangles and clips can be found outside of the journal, like on the spine. Inside the journal, near the edges or hanging off tabs. To avoid them getting in the way, they can also be made removable.

Let’s watch This VIDEO for inspiration to create a Spine dangle for our journals. (More below!)

Here is a VIDEO for ideas on how to attach the spine dangles.

In addition we’ll be making 3 more dangles or clips using the videos below for inspiration. Find your favorite style or make each one unique!

Once you have your outside dangle and 3 additional clips or dangles made, send an email with pictures to your partner. You do not have to have them placed yet if you prefer to wait. In your email tell your partner which was your favorite design or video.

Have fun and let us know if you have any questions. And please let us know if you have ideas for other swaps. Anna, Jane, and Nickalli
