Bryonna's Junk Journal Process

In our most recent video, Bryonna shares her junk journal process. Bryonna made vintage ephemera that she sews together with her new sewing machine. She’s never used a sewing machine before, so this was a bit of a learning exercise. 

Also, in this video, Bryonna uses paper scraps to collage with rather than throwing them away. While showing the collage in progress, Bryonna also discusses art journaling.  Watch the video below to see the junk journal page constructed. We hope this video inspires your next junk journal page! 

Making Paper Look Like Leather

Our video series on making a junk journal continues this week with a new addition. The evolution of this junk journal project brings us to a new and interesting book design. This week, we create another mini booklet to fit inside the junk journal. Only this time, we make faux leather using cardstock. It is a relatively simple process that produces impressive results. 

Bryonna also shows even more ways to use ephemera to decorate the journal. Oftentimes, we bind our books by sewing. There are, however, other ways to bind. This week we will bind the booklet using staples. 

Check out the video below for some bookmaking, journaling, and papercraft inspiration.

Let’s keep in touch!
