Eco Dyeing Paper for Receipt Collage

I think our most recent video might be my favorite. Bryonna tries something new this time, and the results are varied. Ultimately, something really cool is produced. Without spoiling anything for the video, I’ll just say it was quite the science experiment.

The video is linked below. Check it out for more paper-crafting inspiration, and learn some fun techniques for eco dyeing paper! Also, the handcrafted receipt dispenser that Bryonna shares at the end of the video is so cool—you have to check it out!

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!
