Junk Journaling: Planning My first project in years.
I love making patterns, fussy cut stickers and pattern pages for DIY projects like cards and textiles. Some of them I add to my CircusValley shop at Zazzle for them to print and sell while others I save for craft projects and add to my digital shop.
I just love these whimsical ladies. Once I get a printer they will be downloaded and end up as junk journal note cards. I had a lot of fun tweaking the prompt using Midjourney as my design assistant.
The Doodlewell sisters :)
The Inkwell sisters will also end up in my first junk journal when I get my hands on a printer.

I know. These might not fit into my first junk journal, but maybe I can use them in the next one. A belly band can be both a page tuck as a belly band or it can be printed out on sticker paper or just be cut and glued as a border on journaling cards.

Even if you can make a junk journal without a pair of scissors, by ripping the paper making rough edges, a pair of scissors can be a valuable tool to have.
Scissors A must have when journaling
You need a glue and drop of wet glue can in some cases secure your knots almost invisible for the eye. Also good for when you want details to be a bit shiny. Testing different glues can be a good choice.
Aleene's 25115 Trial Pack Tacky Glue, 5pk
A glue stick does not last long. And the cheapest ones do not even last until you are done with the things you want to glue down. I like these. They do not dry out fast. Keep the lid on.
UHU Stic Permanent Clear Glue Stick, 12 Pack
I liked to add details onto pages with double sided tape. The paper will try to dry out the tape over time so checking in on journal pages where you use double sided tape can be worth your time. A dab of wet glue can be a quick fix for…….
KAIYUER Heavy Duty Double Sided Tape
Even if you can staple pages in a junk journal together or glue them together - poking holes in the pages and just sew them together often add nice details and are easier to do. Not to mention it is faster unless you chose to do the more advanced way...
KYUEWRT 25 Large Eye Embroidery Needles
I wish I had this one when I made ………… on my wish list now. It will save much time and make sure that the signatures can easily be stapled in the middle. Fold in half and staple along the line. No need to measure umpteen times.
Bostitch No-Jam Booklet Stapler, Black
A paper cutter of some kind will probably also me on my must-buy list for junk journals and paper craft. Even if I like the rough style with paper ripped by hand sometimes I need clean edges. Like for the envelopes.
Firbon A4 12 Inch Paper Cutter with Ruler
A must have. Rounding the corners off will pay off in many projects. Rounded corners are less likely to fold and get………… a cheap photo corner cutter can do.

Not only for shower curtains and curtains. Perfect for a lot of different craft purposes. Dangles for junk journaling spines, for hanging up wind chimes, hanging up wall art and more. Big package. Share with a friend.
