Huge Treasure Book Using JUNK Only! - Start-to-Finish Tutorial 

O yes please, more of your junk drawer creating. Why? Not only are your creations delightful and imaginative and therefore inspiring but the process answers a bunch of dilemmas about what to do with, how to do and etc. and eliminates guilt about a bulging junk box I have. AND gets me using them at last. I love this!

Natasa, you are so creative my number 1 top JJ maker, and I'd watch you doing the washing lol. Anything you make is always a Treasure. We are all very lucky to have you here. ❤

I am a recent subscriber. I normally craft with wire to make jewelry, bookmarks etc. But I am a full-time elementary teacher and have been teaching for 29 years. Over the years, I have accumulated many paper scraps from left over student projects, gift bags from student gifts and even bulletin board odds and ends. I couldn’t bring myself to throw any of it away because it is still good stuff! I did not know what I would do with it. It all is cluttering my drawers, closets, etc. Teachers often give away these types of things when they retire or change sites. We also have books from old curriculum that often get tossed or remain cluttering storage areas. Your video came up in a recommendations list. I was attracted to the beauty. I am on summer break and have been binge watching. I finally have something I can do with all these things that I have available to me. I am very grateful. Thank you.🌼

Inspired? Oh my! Bubble wrap? Clothing tags? Not having fabric or ribbon the entire length of the page? Your ideas are incredible! ❤

I am totally in awe of how you decimated that pile of scraps and created something amazing with them!! Yes please I would love to see more of this. It's inspiring!!

Love this "Junk Drawer" type of video. Very inspiring that you don't need all new stuff! Thank you!!

First of all, the Junk Drawer Chronicles sounds absolutely amazing. Your joy in creating this little masterpiece was palpable. I think this video illustrates beautifully what junk journaling is (or can be) and that you can most definitely put your own mark on making something, because this project has that very distinct ‘made by Natasa’ touch. Gorgeous in every way!

ABSOLUTELY want to see more of these!! FASCINATING!! Your “timed” 15 minute creative sessions with junk would be AWESOME!! Let the ideas flow!!

Fabulous, I now know how to make ‘pages’ by gluing stuff together instead of using A4 type stuff. This has been so inspirational and ‘freeing’ I have a plethora of junk I can now utilise to make something different. Thankyou so much Natasha and as I’ve said many times before I’m humbled by your creativity and imagination. You are amazing! 💐💕👏💫🌈

Oh, definitely do a junk drawer series! Best drawer ever! Aside from the sewing and the 2x speed😂, it did look like it came together quickly because you had all the stuff. It's really inspires me to pull out my scraps. The combo pages that you sewed together, especially the tag page, are so cool!

YES!!!! Please add your junk drawer to the fun. I always watch your tutorials. It's amazing to watch you create. Your ideas are fantastic. 🙂

What a fun video to watch! And, you know, dear Natasa, that we all have the box of scraps that we can't bear to throw away! I think the challenge of the scraps is why I like making journals! Well done!

Natasha that was brilliant! You showed us how to make a junk journal without any fancy trappings. I think your sewing makes a 100% difference. Thank you for taking the time to design and layout this work of art!!! ❤

Natasha, this journal makes me so happy watching pieces that would have been thrown away by someone else, put together in various ways to create a cute, fun-filled little journal. Everything is used up, and now you have a chunky little journal that will give you many, many years of smiles. Thanks for sharing your process, your inspiration! ❤❤❤

I would never have believed it was possible to create pages from those scraps. You are so creative and so inspiring. The sewing made a big difference

Definitely, I would like to see you use up all the scraps. You inspire us immensely. I have looooots of scraps; most of them, I have no idea to do with them. Besides that, I love all of your inspiring videos. Thank you for sharing so many with us! 💖

I get so excited when I create something amazing from scraps but then bummed when I see all the paper pads I have untouched lol. Beautiful project TFS

🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉 Please do more videos like this. I’ve done many projects with my cutting machine, mock-ups and finished projects, and I have so many scraps I don’t have the heart to throw out. This is an excellent example of what to do with them. Thank you.

Natasa, you are inducted into my imaginary Junk Journaling Hall of Fame! Love, love, love you sharing your talents!!!

This was so fun! I love when you are in the flow and we can see your creative process. I also love how candid you are in your videos. It feels like we are there crafting with you. I think more of these videos is a fantastic idea.

Dear Natasa, it's France 's national day today and your video is yet more fascinating than the fireworks we had yesterday evening! You're incredible! MERCI BEAUCOUP!

Yes. Please. All that you do is wonderful, inspiring, smart and funny(love your Arnold). Your own personality shines through. Been watching you for a long time. Thankyou

You always say, "Oh well, it will get covered." 😊 and thats what i live by in the junk journal world. 🎉

1:17 -- "I have this massive junk drawer...I know it looks horrendous." -- Girl, that's not a horrendous junk drawer! Like most Southerners in America I keep my junk drawer in the kitchen. In addition to paper and fabric scraps, bits of ribbon or twine I also have the dead, but I'm not sure they're dead batteries, pens and pencils, twist ties, the random birthday candle, old keys no one know what they go to anymore, rubber bands, paper clips, a clothes pin, and of course the extra buttons that come with sweaters which you’re never going to use but keep anyway and eventually forget which sweater they go to. 😉 It would be fascinating to see what could be created with those odds and ends! 😂❤

Whatever you do next, I’ll be watching. This video blew me away! You are such a master craftsperson! I’m still sitting in awe! 😮 Thank you so much!!

I love “real junk” treasure books!! You are the best at making junk to treasures!!

I consider you one of the most inspiring creators I have found. To be able to watch you put something together ' on the fly' with your thought process is invaluable. I hope you do many more of these types of videos🌻

Yes! It is always amazing to watch what comes out of "nothing" 🧡 todays outcome is wonderful

Yes, I'd love to see more videos of you creating journals made out of only junk 🙏🏽

I want a whole series of this type of videos, I absolutely adore them ❤❤❤

This project is right up my alley. Yes, please make more videos like this, it was most excellent. Love the scraps, utilizing what's around, Love the hodgepodge, helter-skelter style. It was GREAT! Missed Banjo.

I love the Junk Drawer Chronicles! I would definitely like to see more videos like this. It gives me ideas of what to do and what I should be saving. Thank you!

I love this “creating on the fly” style of video. We all have drawers/boxes/bins of leftovers that need a bit of inspiration. ❤

I LOVE this video. I’m so bad about saving everything for junk journals, but rarely use them. More of these videos, please. 😊

I love this video. I enjoy seeing how you can create just using everyday items. I learned so much about creating pages in this video. I would not have considered doing this. Please do more of this kind of video. I really enjoy hearing your thoughts, how your mind creates. How you take mistakes and make them into creations. You don't have to have perfection to create.

Hell yeah. Sometimes I don't know what to do with it all. I can't throw anything away. I love your artwork.

YES PLEASE!!! 😍 A series of real junk journals would be wonderful 🙂

I smiled throughout this entire video. It just really made me happy to see you create this journal from scraps!

I honestly feel this is the most inspiring type for video for me, please feel free to do more - I love that it’s not about the products or getting any particular ‘look’. Just fun

Just a joy to watch, my fave part was how you created pages, esp your 'Franken pages' tee hee. A revelation in spontaneous creation using what's at hand. Bravo!

I'd love to see more videos like this. I always feel like I can't come up with a plan to start. Seeing you start with no plan is really encouraging.

Yes, please continue to show this type of process to us. I spend TOO much time thinking about a page rather than being spontaneous. Thank you!

Oh my gosh if this is what you create out of nothing then YES PLEASE MORE!!! What a beautiful creation and from what most people would throw in the bin. I love your projects, they always inspire and get the creative juices flowing. I would look at all that stuff and wonder what on earth to do with it but now I have a starting point as to what to do with my stash of hoarded junk 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for sharing your amazing creativity and for doing it with great humour too. 💗 xxx

I really love this. The franken pages and use of whatever you pulled out of your junk drawer is really inspiring and shows how beautiful a true junk journal can be without tea dyed pages and printed journal kits.

To answer the question if I want to see more of such junk journal creations out of contents of junk drawer - absolutely, certainly yes. The less dependency on fancy crafting instruments or supplies the better. Here I see pure creativity in play which is the best fun, for me at least.

Please do more of these types of videos. I also loved the video you did 3 years ago titled "Idea for END OF PROJECT Scrap Leftovers". You created a small package of leftover scraps and showed what you could make from those items. It really helps me see things in different ways and starts my brain looking at stuff creatively. Thank you.

Yes please more of this, Junk Drawer Chronicles would be an awesome name. I so love your videos. I love your silliness that you sneak in from time to time. I love it when you say yumminess. That is the perfect adjunctive to use for junk journaling. Thank you so much for taking the time to film for us.

Yes, please do more junk drawer creations. I love the Frankenstein pages where you combine paper scraps together to create a page.

That was PHENOMENAL!!!!!! Inspiration on steroids!!! I could watch a thousand of these “Trash to Treasure” videos!!! Thank you so much! ❤️

I love the fact you have remained TRUE to junk journalling, you don't use fancy digitals, its all stuff we would have thrown away! I just love your channel! Thank you Natassa!

You have done it again and I love how you talk us through it. You have an Excellent way of teaching! Thank you! You are my inspiration!

I love the idea of using whatever comes out of the junk drawer in one handful. When I look at all my junk it is overwhelming as to what to do with it all. The way you have shown us eliminates the stress and intimidation, leaving 15 minutes or more of creativity and fun. Thank you!!

Whether well planned and thought out or flying by the seat of your pants, you never fail to inspire. I would love to see more of your junk drawer endeavors.

I came home from the mall to find Treasure Books book on my front porch and a video ready for me to watch. This is one of my favorite vids.

True definition of the "Junk Journal" ❤ your creativity!

You don’t ask an artist about his artwork „ and what you do with it?“ not everything needs a purpose, sometimes it’s about creating and having fun. Thanks for another very fun video❤

While I adore the fact that you create content mindfully, showing the result at the start, carefully have instructions written, showing you respect our time to watch. Creative videos as these are also welcome!! You always find a way to teach us something we didn't know we needed to learn yet are so grateful you did!!!❤

Natasha you have such a beautiful and clever mind. I definitely see your heart is in what you make. Everything you make has such a wonderful smile that they can inspire others. Thank you for all that you do and everything that you touch ♥️🥰🥰♥️🥰🥰♥️

❤Junk❤Flow❤Real Creative❤Frankenpages❤️Make do❤️15 minutes❤Don’t be discouraged❤️❤️❤️

Definitely need a tour of your junk draw. I get so many ideas from your creating. Things I would never of thought of.

Of course, yes please more of this. maybe a series called "Let's do mini Treasures with Natasa" or "let's Treasure this Trash" something like that. Thanks so much for always inspiring us.

The very one thing i have adored about your journals is the amount of writing space and pages you have. What im seeing here is more like what I'm seeing everywhere, picture books, and not so much journaling books. This last year has been a huge switch from true junk journals to digital picture books with hardly any writing space at all. I continue to be a fan of your creations because you never disappoint! Thank you for that! 🥰

Every time I watch your videos I get inspired. Tina, Al's wife

Yes, please! I knew I was saving all of those things for a reason 💕🤯 The very first video I watched of yours was the one with the cereal bags. I can't throw away ANY cereal bags now! That's how inspiring you are! 💞🥰

I love making a true junk journal. I am in awe of the many ideas you come up with as ephemera for the journal. You are amazing! Keep it coming, 😊Natasa❤️

Please YES! The people have spoken. We need a Treasure Books Junk Drawer Chronicles ❤️🗄️📜✂️📏🔖🖇️✨

Oh yes, please, make more videos like this! It's so neat to watch you problem solve and create in real time, and it truly is a junk journal. It's boring to watch people make things from digikits compared to this! Thank you!

Oh yes I would love to see more spontaneous creations using your junk drawer stuff! I love everything you do, no matter what. So you just do what you feel inspired to do. We will love it.

Yes, please! I love watching your creative process using only what you have on hand. Thanks Natasha!

Yes, please. I'd love to see more of this kind of thing. I love your ideas & how you illustrate. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Hi. Yes! Yes! Adventures from the junk drawer, or junk bags, big fun! There is a freedom in using what’s in front of you. New fun ideas pop up. It was great. 👍 ❤😊❤❤❤❤

Oh yes, please, more of these junky junk journals! I love these so much! l think this is what I really think a junk journal should be it's junk, junk mail or junk from whatever you have made! We don't always need digital kits, or stckers, stencils, or stamps. I've made an album with just scraps & i made flowers out of magazines like pockets, belly bands, corner tucks. I used old paper bags. Also made some pockets from yellow packaging & what my prescription comes in a neat, small paper bag, a coin envelope, junk mail envelopes! There's ton of things around your home to use. Just use your imagination! It's fun, really! You'll love it once you get into it. Yeah, I use the digital prints & stickers too in other albums. But I try to use what I have! So yes, please, more videos of these junky junk journals! Thanks so much for sharing! I'm going go to watch your other video you made doing amother junky junk journal! Thanks! ♥️☺️🫂🦋🌹✨️

Love this and would love to see snippet roll 10 more times. I just finally made one that I like, but need more ideas. I think people need these types of videos to see their crafting supplies don't explode if played with.

I don’t care what you make I love everything you do. I was just re-watching your videos waiting for you 😂

You could call it "Spontainious Saturdays"...Such fun !!!

You're the first person I've seen to take something from a treasure book and turn it into junk! Lol. The red straps. And you'll find a good use for them too. I'm sure. Good idea to work with "no plan' as well. It shows creative development. You are the queen ❤

Yes, I need more videos like this. it helps to use up stuff I'm stuck on how to use it. The store tags, scraps of fabric,plastic bags I have all these things in a box waiting to be used.

I have to say for me, I love your videos because you are well prepared and don't waste our time.. the 15 min idea is great yet it can be every once in a while..

I am a true fan of your work... love the videos where you plan and write out instructions but this one helps me where I am presently... just pulling things out and making something with everything... Your creative mind is awesome, none of the varied materials stumped you. Thank you for sharing this.

Please more of junk drawer creations! Yes, it makes me want to go create and create freely. Everything you share is wonderful and inspiring.

Yes, please do more of these impromptu junk drawer sessions! I love it! 🥰🤗

Yes please, more junk box creations. I happily found you a few months ago and since then you have inspired me to make some junk journals, I've had so much fun since then making them. They're not up to your standard of course but my friends seem to like them. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. 💗

Incredible. Definately some " junky" ideas going around. You are the third crafter in a row that I've watched, go the way of the purist. You are the best ... always! Love your junk drawer ... wow, pull some stuff out and go for it!!!!❤❤😊

You give hope to us all who have a junk drawer of sorts, but possibly worry about how to use the pieces, I love the idea of just grabbing stuff ad making it! Love your videos and also get a buzz when I see a new video has arrived! Thank you again Natasa x

love your treasure book, looks like what young best friends done for each other

Oooh!! I’d love another session of the “Junk drawer Chronicles!!” Your creativity is over the top incredible ! Awesome job! I love how you can pull all this randomness out of a drawer and make sense of it!! Please continue!!

Oh my Natasha. Yes 🙌 yes 🙌 yes. More drawer creatively. You’re the #Queen of junk journaling. Much love to you. My sweet friend. Socompous. Yes. 🙌 ❤❤

Yes, yes! More please! Absolutely loved this video. The way you put things together. Overcoming challenges, sped it up then explain things with perfect timing, it was so natural and inspiring! Also love that you included the link to your finished journal. You get the wind beneath our wings, thanks so much Natasha! 😊

This is one of the most inspiring projects I have seen on your channel. I 100% would love to see more of this type of "junk drawer" makings. :) this is inspiring me to save all the "trash" that comes into my home for a month and then make a projext with it:)

Junk drawer chronicles, I like that. It definitely makes me want to sift through my scraps, junk and bits and make something pretty.

Scrumptious! Absolutely. I LOVE this session. More of the same would be so appreciated. From your new fan from Nova Scotia, Canada. 87 years old and having the time of my life with this new found passion. Got your book. I am now hooked. Line and sinker and it's all your fault. Love it.

That is so genius!!! I absolutely loved the whole process. I would love to see you create from your junk drawer again, please. I was very caught up in what you were doing. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

I loved watching you do this! This is how I unwind some days ... just using all the scraps from the box by my desk and creating a small book with ephemera or a big book depending on what's available. It can take anywhere from an hour to days. It was so nice to watch someone else get that kind of joy and love the results. 🥰

I'm currently making a English paper piecing quilt and watching RU-vid and stated to watch Junk Journal vids. I've started my saving. You are so talented, I loved this video. Thank Natasha.

needed to come back to say how grateful i am that you will continue this series - we all have bags - bins - and drawers filled with scraps - this is such an INSPIRING video - watched it several times already - thank you Natasa!!!!! xx

Loved it…yes!!!! Chronicles of Junk by/with junk. I would love to see it and try it myself😊

Another fabulous and great idea. You have brought scrapbooking to another level, I know we all love it, thank you so much for sharing with us, such specular crafting, enjoy your day.

Love and Love this! Its exactly perfect for learning, inspiration! I only use garbage (literally)... only purchase basic paints, markers, glue, pens, sissors and white copy paper for my journals. No kits, downloads, stickers. My only rule for myself; is to not purchase anything over and above these basic supplies. There are very few videos available that does NOT use downloads, kits, inks, store bought stamps, stickers, tapes, trim, fancy print two sided or one sided paper, etc. As a newbie to Junk Journaling, I have binged watched hundreds of videos to learn techniques, folds, layering, pockets, etc... learned the basics and different ways of how to build a journal from the cover up to a completed journal. Approx 98 percent of all how to videos use kits, downloads or store bought speciality tools, materials and supplies. Only about 2 percent is for a true junk journal using what can be created at home without having to purchase anything... Yes, the store bought stuff is beautiful... for me the real art lies in taking garbage or junk I have in my home and make it look as beautiful as the kits and speciality papers. Its a real challenge to create a journal from garbage that looks as stunning as the store bought kits and downloads. ..My only supplies are from my junk drawer that looks like yours... I do not have full sheets of fancy kits or papers or anything bought new, only true junk and garbage... Please make this a series... I would for sure never miss one! Its what I feel is traditional junk journaling! It would really help me to take my homemade junk/art journaling to the next level.

Yes I would love to see you 15 minute junk drawer makes. I love your videos.

Amazing, and so full of fun and life, even some memories from how you got the junk itself, before you write anything down. Neutral vintage journals can be beautiful, but they lack what this gives 😊💜
