Are you wondering what a junk journal is? A junk journal is a type of art journal made from found materials and ephemera such as old book pages, tickets, receipts, and other items that would typically be considered junk. It is often used for creative expression and reflection.
How are Junk Journals made?Junk Journals are typically made by folding papers into signatures. The signatures are then sewn into an existing book or a handmade cover and spine. The pages are then decorated with found items such as magazines, old books, antique ephemera, textiles, and more. Some people also enjoy using a Digital Junk Journal Kit such as this pretty poetry and flowers kit:
