What I Use To Make My Junk Journals

I recently spent some time making my junk journals for the year (!) and I thought I'd take the opportunity to document what I include when I'm making them. I find it easier to batch make these because the process of making the piles of junk is a bit time consuming, and as long as I'm making one I might as well make a bunch. Then they're all ready to go when I need a new one.

Learn all about my junk journal process, including how I stitch them, here.

Also, I do sell these, so if you're interested leave a comment.

▲ I print patterns from DigitalScrapbook.com on vellum. I often use templates for this,
rather than finished papers, because I want a crisp, black pattern when I print.

▲ I also print a simple pattern on the backs of the patterned scrapbook paper that I include.
I have lots of leftover scrapbook paper, otherwise I'd just print patterned paper from DigitalScrapbook.com as well.

▲ These pre-cut pages are one of my favorite things to include. I just set up a page in my Silhouette program
to the size of the notebook I'm making and then add a few simple shapes to cut out.
This Blackout Font is one of my favorites for using with a cutting machine.

▲ I also trim down pocket page protectors to include.

▲ Other miscellaneous things I include are: doilies,
plastic treat bags (which I prefill with sequins before I stitch, so one side has sequins),
wrapping paper, vintage paper, wax paper, and envelopes.
