How To Make A Junk Journal

[shirleygregory]

I love old books & buy lots if the price is right LOL! If I don't use a book in my journals, it becomes a home decor piece - just a few books with pretty covers piled up with vases of flowers, candles, vintage trinkets & dishes stacked on top! I love the look, feel & even smell of old books. I have the Victorian flower book as well - it's so beautiful. I rescue old dictionaries from the recycle bin at the end of the school year when we are all clearing our out classrooms no matter the age or condition. Our school library periodically clears out books that have been damaged beyond repair or haven't been checked out for a very long time. Some of the gems I found were books about early American history. The pictures of the handsome gentlemen, beautiful ladies, and old homes will be used to decorate journals and the mostly text pages will be wonderful for sub-straits for master boards. I've also discovered I can use glossy pictures by covering them with Matte Gel Medium (a product somewhat like Mod Podge) so they look less "new" and blend in with vintage papers better. I've also found older children's book with lovely illustrations - rosy cheeked children with short pants (boys) and dainty dresses (girls) from times gone by. Thank you for sharing your list of qualities you look for in books. I think I unconsciously looked for books in a similar fashion, so having you discuss these points will help me be more purposeful when looking at books (or I may just continue to buy everything I take a fancy to)! Take care!

Love this video! The folios are beautiful. My family tends to take books away from me when they can’t bear for them to be cut apart. I found a gorgeous book on Italian Opera and my daughter actually had tears in her eyes when she refused to let me use it for journalling!❤

[myzanyself]

I love this video. Of course, it makes me happy that I own some of the exact books you have shown. This is such a good list. My only additional suggestion would be a math or science book. I use them a lot for steampunk and masculine pages.

[lorenaashcroft]

I love your collection of books. I buy many at the Goodwill. Biographies from last century often have old photos or sketches that I like to use in my journals.

[lauragaudry]

All great books! I love old foreign language books and vintage children’s books with large fonts. The mix of language’s and font sizes add real interest in my backgrounds. I also find Field Guide books a great source for fussy cutting animals, birds, butterflies etc. Hugs and blessings, ❤️🤗🇨🇦

[suzettefaircloth]

I love my little GOLDEN GUIDE books, my chinese vocabulary book and my hand illustrated cook books for my journals.

[allisonjames]

I hope you scan & print that gorgeous Victorian Flowers book. It’s absolutely stunning! I couldn’t bring myself to tear those pages

[jeweltompkins]

Again, thank you. Watching previous videos has already altered what I look for when book shopping: things like size, paperweight, and how text is visually pleasing. This video put it all into context. I will be watching it several times.

[lucyb]

Thank you, very similar to mine. I also collect books from the 1800s. Rachel Roxburgh inspired this. I have a butterfly guide for fussy cutting and several floras.

[marmaz]

Love these questions, Joie! Thank you!

[karensmith]

Thank you Joie for sharing your top 10 books. I have made some really bad purchases so this is a great help.

[megjournals]

A great resource Joie! Inspired to spend my Sunday afternoon looking for books in charity shops :)

[angelastrozier]

Great video! Very informative and inspiring!!!!

[yolandakouwenberg-meijer]

[londicawthon]

YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Love all these ideas! A MILLION THANK YOUS!!!

[debboogaard]

Great collection of books! I agree on most of these… I seem to be particularly drawn to books with great drawings of plants and birds. Another I would add is a collection of children’s fairy tales - Grimm or Aesop, particularly the large format books. The font and pictures are brilliant!

[YvonneCook-gvpq]

I want to start journalling, & love books, so would happily have them floor to ceiling. My husband doesn't share my enthusiasm for books though, so this is a really useful guide. Thank you! ☺️

[Sheamarie]

Thank you so much for sharing this information. It is helpful.
