Since we had just recently made my “ Layered Finger Jello” for my youngest daughter’s birthday, I had plenty of jello boxes (the recipe uses 6 boxes of jello). I followed all her steps carefully to create my own journals. Below is the” Making a Journal for Beginners” video that kick-started my desire to create my own journal: I highly recommend you check out her videos on YouTube. Johanna Clough has been a huge inspiration to me as I have thoroughly enjoyed watching all her junk journaling videos, from how to make a journal out of a boxed package, simple binding for beginners, and how she decorates her pages. Journals are a great way to reflect and document special moments, memories and the everyday activities and musings of our lives! ![]() ![]() I’ve always loved saving items like those, and junk journals are a great way to use and store them! I also think it would be neat to keep a junk journal as fiber artists to help us document our projects: you could include the yarn label, a snippet of the yarn, hook size, finished photos and journal why you chose this project, who it was for and any new techniques you may have learned along the way. I love how you can combine different materials and include items such as photos and ephemera (memorabilia that was originally expected to have a short one time use like movie tickets, train passes, etc). I never thought it was possible to make such beautiful books and journals from scratch! I fell down the rabbit hole of watching junk journal videos including how to make your own journal, decorate the page spreads and what to include in them – there are so many possibilities! According to “ Artjournalist“, a junk journal can be defined as “ A book which is often made through found and recycled materials to be used as a way to collect and record memories, thoughts, ideas, and inspiration.” Recently I have become captivated by a new hobby: making journals! I used to scrapbook as a teenager, and this new hobby has reignited my love for the paper crafts.
