Misc. Junk Journal Ideas

Mini file tab pocket folder using one 6 x 6 single-sided sheet of paper
Find it here.  #Septeria18  (really great for gift card holder)

Shanouki Art makes a "waterfall" notebook/stack of papers that fill the page from top to bottom.  Looks great!  Check out the video.

Shanouki Art also makes Index cards with Tim Holtz numbers - the background of the ordinary index card looks SO fun....first a few collaged tiny pieces of book pages, then a little white gesso wiped on with a finger....some spray Distress ink, splats of white and black acrylic paint, then some Tim Holtz numbers.  Very cool!  Here's the video.

Root Pursuit came up with lots of ingenious ways to use Christmas washi tap to make all sorts of cool ephemera in her Lots of Great Christmas Washi Ideas video.  Absolutely must make a mess of these.

Shanouki Art makes simple simple simple page corner to glue onto random junk journal pages when prepping the journal.  Wonderful!  See how here.

Okay, THIS is COOL!  Crafted by Christy takes long, torn up (plain and with words) strips and puts them into a container (could be a cardboard box, could be a dollar store 9 x 13 plastic...) then sprays them with different colored distress sprays.  You could even dribble on acrylic paint.  She wears cheap- plastic covers so that she can use her hands to mix all the papers up between sprayings - this distributes the ink all over.  After they all dry, she collages with them!  Gorgeous ---- and FUN!  Here's the YouTube.

Happy Paper People uses six layers of paper, circle punches, and paper glaze to mass make paper buttons!  Her 8-minute video is here.  

And Shanouki Art has her own take on this, gluing layers of cardstock together and then putting glitter (using double stick tape) around the outside!  You don't have to use the glitter, and her way to glue the layers together using a paint brush is super!  Try it....here!
