Tutorial - Junk Journaling
Paper is always something I have loved
to work with and growing up in my father’s print shop may have something to
do with it. In the print shop my father had
a big cardboard box with scrap papers.
He often caught me snitching papers for
various craft projects! I still love to work
with “scraps”. I like to figure out different
ways to reuse things instead of just throwing them away. If you ask my husband he
would probably tell you that I am a crazy
scrap hoarder! I think he has a point but I
prefer to see myself as a passionate crafter!
A heap of scrap or a bundle of opportunity,
it’s all in the eye of the beholder.
A couple of years ago I started to save
envelops and flyer’s that I got in my mailbox. I use them to make junk journals for
my bible studies. Reused envelopes are
very good for making prayer pockets and
to store study notes! I also love to reuse
old books, especially children’s books,
as many of them are made of thick cardboard.
In this tutorial I will share two ways to
make a junk journal. One from scraps,
using envelopes and flyer’s. The other
one from a stripped book-cover and scrap
papers that I have used as protective covering when painting or experimenting with
different art techniques.
