Journals/Notebooks

[kate2kate]

Hi All,

When you make Journals or Notebooks, Items that will have alot of wear on the cover what do you seal it will. (I am Mod Podge Challenged if that is the answer) And what can you not put a seal over (pictures?)

TIA,
Katie

<----------- is curious...

i have made many of these and never put a seal on them.

I don't seal my journal.notebooks either. I just attach the cardstock with my SU Anywhere Gluestick!

I didn't seal my notebooks. I applied the paper with the SU's red sticky tape. It's still perfect!

I don't seal mine either. I'm not a big fan of mod podge.

You can use Krylon Perserve it, Matte Finish. Just don't put on a thick layer. I have found this works best if you are planning on or wanting to seal projects

I made a book once that I knew would get a 'lot' of wear to the cover so I did use a sealer on the outside part of the cover. I don't like Mod Podge myself, so I use Royal Coat decoupage. RC is acid free and cheaper than Mod Podge acid free and I think- less watery too. I put three coats on my cover and it came out great.

I've sealed a few with mod podge, and left the rest alone. To be honest, I haven't seen much difference in the wear and tear.

But the one sealed with mod podge tends to get a wee bit sticky in humid weather.

I used mod podge on mine. You can mod podge over pictures. I'm not a huge fan of the way mod podge looks, either, but it make them almost indestructable.
