Let's Begin!

Are you ready to get started decorating the junk journal we assembled?

We've uploaded your first FREE printables to our ko-fi shop. You can either print this at home or at the library. I believe their price is 25 cents per page for color prints. 

NOTE: I'm not sure if the library offers cardstock for printing or if they only have copy weight paper. Either one will be fine for this project, but you may want to invest in a ream of cardstock for future projects. Let me know if you'd like a link to the one we use most often. It doesn't have to be super thick, but some parts of your journal will be more durable if you use something heavier than copy paper.

Here's a link to the free printable: https://ko-fi.com/s/2963c5e2bf

What you'll need:

• A page of the printable (or your own paper if you prefer)
• Glue stick or other glue of choice
• Scissors

We'll post an easy "how to" video soon, but if you'd like to get started, here's how:

1. Choose a page of the printable. You can print all 13 pages if you want, but just one will be enough for now. 
2. Find a page in your journal that you'd like to completely cover.
3. Spread a layer of glue all over the journal page (not the printable). A glue stick usually works fine, or Art Glitter Glue is fantastic. If you're using a wet glue like Elmer's School Glue or a tacky glue, we recommend spreading it out and just using a thin layer. Be sure to get glue all the way to the edges.
4. Glue the printable to the journal page. 
5. Trim off the extra edges of the printable.
6. Save your scraps!

Sneak Peek at the Upcoming Holiday Project

We're tentatively scheduled to have our next workshop before the winter holidays (just waiting for confirmation etc from the library) and I thought you might like to get a sneak peek at the project we have planned for you. It's a little holiday-themed tri-fold folio that we've designed just for you! It's about the size of a business envelope & I must say, we're kind of proud of how cute it turned out! 😄 

Stay tuned for the workshop date.

Bookbinding Kits

 You can find very inexpensive bookbinding kits on Temu, but I know not everyone is a fan of shopping there so here are a few links to the tools on Amazon. These are affiliate links, so we might earn a tiny commission if you order from these links but your price won't change.
