One of my favorite - and super easy - videos is Shanouki Art's tutorial on using a granola bar box as the cover and lots of leftover scrapbook paper as the guts. No nonsense! It's only 10:22 long, easy to follow.....let's do it!
She also has a video showing exactly how she chooses, then puts together the pages to make a double signature junk journal. It's really interesting to see her collection of books and to hear her thinking about all aspects of the creation of the journal. That video's here.
Margarete Miller makes a very cool (and easy) journal from a package of alphabetical 4 x 6 index card dividers. She puts it together *with masking tape!), creates an easy cover, and then decorates her first two double-page spreads. This could be made from any consistently sized heavy duty cardstock or even a lightweight cardboard. Will definitely give this a try. She's making hers for Christmas. Video here. She's one of my favorites ... fast forwards through lots so you don't have to keep going faster yourself.
This isn't exactly a "Junk" journal....all the pages are the same size and it's binding is glued together, not sewn. It's called "Christmas Hard Cover Journal." The pages are 8.5 x 11 kraft paper folded in half with a piece of patterned paper dividing the pages into thirds. It's glued heavily on top, covered with muslin, then covered with a paper binding. LeNae shows every step and how easy it seems to be. Easy-to-follow instructions are found here.
