Junk Journal – First Attempt

So… Recently online I have been seeing a lot on my pintoes of things called a junk Journal.

For those of you who don’t know a junk journal is effectively a scrap book. Junk journals come in may different styles, however they are most often home made. One thing I loved the idea of is making a junk journal out of an old book, which is falling apart, as I think it is always a good thing to repurpose things, and give them a new lease of life.

Now I am not going to lie. I am creative person, however art, has never been my strong point, but this was something I Desperately wanted to try to do… so I did.

To being with I went to my local charity shop and bought two old, hard back books, for £2 each. I then went to the pound shop and bought two packets of card, one black, and one multi coloured. So in total for supplies to make my junk journal it has cost £5. Now if you compare this to what you would pay in somewhere like paper chase (and believe me I know because I love stationary), it is a good priceless you get the feeling of creating something yourself.

My plan is to use Junk Journaling as a way of a positive outlet. They are going to be filled with things which make me happy. Currently my first junk journal contains, song lyrics which inspire me, artists who inspire me, important musicals to m, and some pretty things which I find in my house.
