Got A Food Box? Transform It Into A Unique Journal
#junkjournal #junkjournaljuly #upcyclingprojects
I saw this type of journal being made in a video by @jennibellie and fell in love with the style. So easy to make and cute as a button.
This journal is perfect for a month long challenge like Junk Journal July.
I hope my videos enrich your day and provide you with some entertainment, and that you may learn something from my artistic adventures.

Thanks Jovi, looking forward to seeing your creations during JJJ. Am I imagining that they are a bit late in releasing the prompts this time?
Leigh this is a great journal, fun to watch. You figured it out in the end! I really liked your geli prints.

Thank you, took the scenic route but got there in the end. Left it in cause it's a good way to show how to overcome a mistake. Making lemonade from the lemons so to speak. Glad you like the gel prints, cheers.
Ive aleways folded mine in since i started journal making in 2019 xx

Thank you.
I have never seen a junk journal made like this. I love it! Having the signatures in each side is great! I even like the additional circle on gone back! You are already hitting home runs for jjj! Hugs 🤗❤️

HI Lee, i am trying to catch up on my favorite You Tubers. Happy to catch this one on time. I love recycling projects. Thank you for bring this idea to us.

I love this design, would make a great add on to a journal too. There is something very satisfying about transforming a box or other such recyclable item into something completely new. Thanks for watching, hugs.
Great idea and they always say to work in odd numbers so your journal is perfect! ❤❤❤

Thank you Selina. That's another way of justifying my senior's moment. I got a phone call when doing that part, so there's another one. (dog ate my homework)
Cute design for a journal! I can so relate to putting the closure on the wrong side-I think we’ve all done things like that before. It’s kind of you to leave it in bc it just helps normalize mistakes. I love your gel prints you used to cover the journal.

Thanks Theresa, you will find many of these types of stuff-ups in my videos, I like to leave them in so everyone can see how to work around them. (or come up with excuses, lol). So glad you like my gel prints, hugs.
Great project. I don't know that I've ever put the closure on the wrong side but I sure have glued a lot of papers upside down. I can imagine it's twice as hard when you're doing a video. However I think it turned out lovely. Blessings and love from New Mexico

Hi Judie, thank you. I really excelled when I put that closure there, honestly don't know how it happened, not concentrating I guess. They are great little journals, very easy to make and I love how the entire box is used. It's a cool morning but looks like we are going to have a lovely sunny day here in Queensland. Hugs & cheers.
❤Loved It! I didn’t see any mistakes, only creative detours!❤

Yes!!! Creative detours, love that. Thank you.
Would a brad fit through the eyelet? To even up the look. Otherwise fun and interesting!

Good idea, a smaller brad would definitely do the job. Cheers

Hi Dear - I am doing JJJ. Going Saturday on vacation (first one in many years) but back for all July. Let's see what it brings this year...!!! I'm still painting. I made a book of Gaza War Paintings, a coffee table book type thing... and now I am painting from the Colour Cubes of Sarah Renee Clark. Do you have them? I don't paint them seriously but I make some free associations of them and paint and paint... I try to get sizes and perspective right...

Hi Jackie, hope you have a lovely holiday. So happy to hear that you are still painting, art is a great distraction from all things horrible. I don't have a colour cube, they are expensive in Australia, but have thought they are a wonderful idea. Hugs & cheers.
Ahhhh I have a feeling that this journal might make you crazy because it's too flat and however will it grow and you don't cope with the thing on the back... I fear..

Too late, already crazy Jackie, haha. The book may be a bit too flat, will have to be aware of that if I use it for JJJ. Having said that, it couldn't be any worse than that scroll one I used a while back. Have been figuring out a way to make the same book with more room.
I am lazy about holding on to glued things. I cheat with old school clothes pins.

Yep, pegs are very handy for that, I'm impatient and often move forward too early.
I'm so glad it's not just me that makes boo bo's ,stamping backwards after I've finished the project is not always a surprise 🤦🏻♀️

Hahaha they are the special features that make the project unique. Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hugs
