If you have ever wondered what to do with all your leftover craft materials, like old cards, fabric scraps, wrappers, buttons, lace, etc., then look no further than junk journalling.
A junk journal can be endlessly added to, making it a fun and inexpensive hobby to have. With no strict rules, it's an ideal craft to come up with endless creative ways to turn scrap materials into artful journal pages.
Part 1 - Make a Junk Journal:
In the first class, we will hand-make a soft-cover junk journal from hand-dyed and intentionally distressed pages, giving the journal an old-fashioned quality. We will design the covers using vintage stamps and distressed inks and then add vintage elements like stitching, lace, buttons, and trinkets to make the journal a one-of-a-kind piece unique to you. This journal will be sturdy enough to use for a variety of creative pursuits, including writing, sketching, painting, and of course, for housing all the vintage ephemera magic coming up in our next class!
Part 2 – Junk Journal Pages:
In the second half of our class, you will create pages and pockets for your junk journal by incorporating vintage images, stamps, paints, stencils, buttons, ribbons, lace, stamped pieces, doilies, text, and sheet music, transforming them into designs of yesteryear.
You will have so much fun learning ways to make all these elements come together to fill your journal with artworks inspired by the advertising, luggage tags, sewing cards, old letters, and time-worn book pages found in your Grandma's era.
By the end of these two classes, you will have crafted a beautiful junk journal and designed several old-fashioned styled pages within it. Take home your new hobby today!
