Hello! Here is my method for how to make a no-sew junk journal! It's a super easy scrap-busting technique that you can use to make any size journal you'd like. I hope you have fun with this journal tutorial!
You will need:
~ assortment of papers and scraps (I use tea dyed paper, old book papers, packaging etc. Remember to make sure it's not too thin!)
~ glue
~ tape (washi, sellotape, packaging etc.)
~ scissors

So glad you found it helpful! Attach a thicker card or cardboard to the front and back pages. You could even poke a hole on the right side of each and thread some ribbon through for a closure! I can make a video to show some cover ideas if you’d find it helpful. 🙂

Love this idea. Just wondering...where do you journal? It seems like so many pages are printed leaving little room to write.

@megjournals 3 года назад

Thank you! So I add labels/journal spots over areas with printed text to allow me room to journal. I tend to work in little areas rather than text on a whole page.

@rainbowflowerfairy4369 3 года назад

Love this so much Thank you for your clear instructions Can anyone help me with what to use a journal for please Don't shout at me but I'm sure it will help my mental health to make and use them but I've no idea what to do with them and I'm too scared to make a mistake and ruin my hard work. I've never been a diary writer and am too old to start now so what else can I do? Really appreciate the time anyone takes to reply Thank you
