My Must-Have Junk Journaling Supplies, Supplies for Junk Journaling, Junk Journal Tutorial 

I prefer sepia distressing on my pages. It’s the perfect shade of brown. Another indispensable tool for me is a corner rounder. I seldom leave a page squared. I have a great paper cutter that uses a rotary blade. It’s not a brand I’ve ever seen before. I inherited from my sister-in-law. Art glitter glue and Fabri-Tac are my go to adhesives. I use double sided 1/4 inch tape sometimes. I have a nail polish bottle with a rounded cap. I use that cap daily to add pressure to glued pages to make sure it adheres well. Every journal has at least one place I used texture paste through a stencil. Most often it’s on the cover. After it dries I sand it very smooth with rough sandpaper. Sometimes I tint it with a bit of acrylic paint or ink. Sometimes I leave it white.

Thanks, Anna, I learned a trick with glue stick from Cory Dahman, creating with scraps. When she uses glue stick, after applying the glue, she then runs the items through her laminator and the heat activates the glue, making the bond very strong. This has been very helpful to me. I often sew as well.

I love to rubber stamp on my pages. I have a boatload of them. My favs are Steampunk, vintage, and flourishes.

Besides all of the above, I use a brayer. After glueing items together, I run a brayer over it to help spread the glue and make it stick. Thanks for doing this video, it's a reminder of what I have available and should use!

I try to make alot of own emphemera. I have the kit for sewing in signatures and 2 sewing machines. One is tiny fits on my desk well. Inks and daubers, old books edith Holden also alot of craft paper, decorating scissors stamps. Try to organize everything so its handy cos I dont have the craft cabinets and shelves alot of craft rooms have. But that's me. Love the video. Thanks Anna. Have a great week.

I have that Flowers book from when I was 2 years old. My Mom bought it at the Fort Worth Zoo. It is a cherished part of my childhood.

Gosh love those books, Music paper I love music paper, I just got 26 encyclopedia's 4 large tomb encyclopedias Free. Take care.

I've been looking for a tear ruler. Never thought of making one. Cool idea!!

Like the ruler new to me

I love your creations and your videos! Thank you for posting the names of the books you used above. I’ve already found a couple on eBay. I love it when I find a full-size book with nice, heavy sheets of paper. I’m like you, I don’t care for glossy pages much, either.

Love your video. Dictionary pages is my must have.

I have two of those compartment boxes, which are good for all the little things

Love the labels. My must have items for making a journal, are mainly the same of yours. This year I've incorporated dried flowers and leaves. I love and respect nature a lot, so I kind of wanted to show it in my journals. I don't use white papers for the pages, I use recycled acid free sheets, a little more expensive, but worth it. Tfs! :)

Oh that green book that fell apart. What a find. Love it.

Thanks for sharing! Many of my must-haves you mentioned. I would add my corner rounder, Crop-O-Dial and eyelets and my supplies for coffee dying.

Interesting that we each have our 'perfect' distress ink color ;-) Mine is brushed corduroy and bundled branches. PVA glue- usually Art Glitter Glue, SookWang double sided tape in 3/8" (and other widths used less often), along with FabriTac are my must-have adhesives. MY 'Daylight' desk lamp is a must for me. I love being able to see every detail, no matter the time of day or season. My stack of favorite books is much loved as well. Thanks for this interesting video!

This was very useful. Thank you for doing this

Hello, loved these ideas and really drooled over some of your books. Especially, The Arabian Nights! I just LOVE old, beat up, vintage!

I watched nearly your whole video without realizing who you are. I just bought a handful of digitals from you maybe a month ago, and I'm loving them! You are very talented. Thanks for the video of your go-to items! So many fun ideas (:

Thank you for sharing your favs. It's mind blowing sometimes when you see everything that's available for journaling. Have a blessed day 🙂.

You melted your plastic ruler to make a a fabulous tearing edge?! That is truly brilliant.

Thank you so much for your valuable input.

Thank you for your time. May you and yours be well. Love the calmness of your video and no overpowering music where I can't hear your voice! I was in attention the whole while. I am now a follower. So excited!

Love all that you are using thanks for all the videos

Thanks for sharing. I'm really interested in the pendant blanks because I have MANY from when I made jewelry. Would love to see what you do with then. Paper clips and safety pins that I rust up come in handy and look cool I think. The other item I can't live without is washi tape and also lace.

Great video!

Just ordered those butterfly tickets

Your video is very cool,love it,great for new scrappers

Great video. I really enjoy your time with us. You share so much with us and this was great to see your indulgences. Love the plastic box for extras. I have them all over and need one. May just trade my washi tape holder for these items. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Bearly Art Glue is the ONLY adhesive I use on paper!

Fun video, thank you for sharing.

Great suggestions. I am happy to say that that's them all and would be hard pressed to work without them. I would add vintage ephemera and aged book pages in different fonts, because I rely on them for the journals that I create.

Thank you SO MUCH. I have watched soooo many videos on what to use and yours gave so MUCH great info and ideas! New sub!! Thank you

Just found your channel and love your videos! I’m going to make one of those tear rulers! Brilliant! I use a lot of sari silk ribbon in my journals so that’s on my must have list.

Oh great video and ideas TFS 👍🏻

What a great idea ironing your ruler! I have been looking for something similar , as tearing rules are quite expensive, y added to mine one of these piecew that comes whit aluminium folder to cut it, but not the nice tearing effect, so thank you so much for sharing, going to look for that video explaining how did U do

Loved your video.

Love your video. I am currently on a bender using stamps, stencils, and dies. (I need to stay away from Amazon.)

I love my cropadile and I tend to use a lot of old buttons.

Thank you so much for this video!! What's the title in the huge flower page book? I have to have it lol

Sewing kit is available on Amazon Canada as well.

Great video, I have so many things in my junk journaling space. However I have not been able to find the slop punch, and I am wondering where you get all those adorable tickets and word sheets.. I usually bought that type of thing at Michaels but they have reduced their Tim Holtz section and their more vintage products. And the book of music sheets are so beautiful. Hope to see more of your videos..

I am in love with your videos! I had purchased a bunch of your kits before i realized it was you! Im newer to the junk journal world and im curious about your printer! I print a lot (i make custom drink tumblers) but i print on the BEST quality setting for my waterslides so they really pop as much as possible and i run thru ink like a mad woman. Do you print on best or just on regular to have a more "distressed" older feel? I absolutely love your work!

TO DIE FOR

New here thank you for sharing your go to items.

Anna - love your videos and digitals? Can you share the title of the green book that's spine broke? I would love to find a copy!

I love the info! I just spent weeks collecting and then had trouble getting started! Just do it I guess. It’s new to me, I have experience in other areas, but this is new and fun. Off topic , what lighting do you use? I have a channel that I am always trying to improve and I bought a ring light and it’s so cheap! I use my iphone!

Great video. Would you share what type of sewing machine you have?

😘🍄

Love you videos, do you have a video that shows how you .are the ruler?

Thanks for sharing. May I know the name of the gorgeous flowers book?

Hello I found you while I was looking for paper on Etsy. Are the sheets of papers you showed at the end of your video available on your Etsy account. Loved the video of all the items you use, thank you xx

Hi! New subbie here :) I like watching videos like this :) but I still haven’t made one myself 😅 do you know what the little silver colored oval sort of punch is called? I want to search if I can find it online, I’m in Norway so I don’t have all the shops you do ;) tfs!

I really LOVE your channel! Can you pleasee make a video about how to think of original ideas without reference? I noticed that for me working without planning and reference leads to amazing results but sometimes i spend too much time coming up with the ideas

Hi, I speak a little bit english. Can you give me the tutorial video for 8:20 ? Thank you

What are the names of the books? Thanks for sharing!

As someone new to the wonderful world of junk journaling, where all do you (and anyone reading) purchase supplies? I’ve looked on eBay, etsy and at Hobby Lobby. I suppose I am a bit overwhelmed and not sure what prices I should pay. TIA

What are the names of the brown and green books?

Pity we cant see the tutorial actually how your stuff works. Thanx for sharing

Do you purchase your lace on Aliexpress. I am looking for a place to get a good price. I am new to crafting in general and trying to build up a stash.

Lovely stuff 😍 please could you tell me the title and author of the book with big big flowers? I would like to look for in internet. Thank you so much for your help. Have a nice day 😘
