This is part two of my 99% upcycled JUNK JOURNAL DIY series, but you can bind any junk journal using the same technique. It's simple, quick and easy. Use a strong needle and crochet yarn, embroidery floss or something like that. Make three holes with an awl and start where you want to have your knot (inside or outside). Think about number eight, if you "get lost" :)
I set myself a challenge to make a simple, vintage style, grunge junk journal with lots of journaling space using as much junk as possible: old photocopies, old book pages, junk mail, old clothes, pure trash and so on. I'm going to use it as my bullet journal. If you like to see a flip through with voiceover, you'll find the video (Part 1 of my junk journal series) here: youtube.com/watch?v=fg1DD7X75GQ

They're quick and easy to make and they can be used as ornaments in Christmas trees as well.
I used grey paper twine to make my wreaths. It's great material for this kind of projects as it's pretty stiff. You could use other twines like jute twine as well, but in that case you're wreath may not turn out quite as sturdy as mine. In card making it doesn't really matter, as the background will be sturdy anyway.
You can decorate them with white paint or gesso, ribbons, yarns etc.

I used acrylic paints and mixed media techniques to customize a synthetic, black frame into a vintage, antique piece. The Ung Drill mirror from Ikea is still available at least in the US, but if it's not available where you live (it's not available in my country any more), of course you can use any frame and alter it like this mirror.
You'll need a black frame, white gesso (or paint, I used white furniture paint), bronze and gold acrylic paint to create a beautiful vintage look. I also used just a little bit of Inka Gold (color old silver), but that's totally optional. Great room decor / Ikea hack for those who love vintage shabby chic style!

Let's make wearable art for this summer - you can easily customize thrifted, old and new jackets, shorts, bags etc. using regular acrylic paints. Create your own style! Just mix your paint with fabric medium and you can turn your acrylic paints into fabric paints. The ratio is 1:1 - use equal amount of acrylic paint and equal amount of fabric medium. I used a German product, but there are other options available, too.
Let the paint dry for 24 hours and iron it carefully (at least 1-2 minutes per each painted area to be sure) with hot iron to make the painting permanent. After ironing you can hand wash your denim jacket or other cloths in mild temperature.
I also used a little bit of fabric paint with glitter. It's also washable after ironing. This jacket hasn't been washed yet, but I experimented with a piece of denim fabric and all paints did well in washing machine using the hand-wash program!

I used both regular and thick (160 g/m2) copy paper to print out the butterflies and handwriting. I colored them with water color, chalk pastels, Dylusions ink and coffee. The brown handwriting behind the turqoise butterfly is printed out and then dyed with tea and coffee.
Quick and affordable DIY home decor project and a gorgeous gift idea as well!
I also wanted to show how to fussy cut the butterflies with antlers just to demonstrate that it's a lot easier than you might think!

As my bucket list would be too long, if I stated every single thing that I want to do before I "hit the bucket", I figured out six main categories of things I want to do, and I made a "Polaroid photo" representing each category. The most creative and fun part of this project was actually finding symbols for each category.
I think it helps me to keep on the right track and it also helps me to appreciate all the things that I'm going to achieve even if there's not a detailed list that I could cross out. It's also better, because my wishes keep changing as I'm adjusting to things that come across my journey.
I printed out small Polaroid cards that I made myself, but you can also find templates on the internet, if you like to do something like this - or just cut out small rectangles from white paper. I used thick white paper (160 g/m2).
Great art journal page idea for beginners as well!

My interpretation of northern lights is more blue than the image that I used as my inspiration, so I used blue paint and just a little bit green. I primed the page with matt black acrylic paint. You could use black gesso as well. Pearlescent paints - or metallic paints - have lovely sheen when used on black background.

This canvas was inspired by the first snow this year that came this week. I just picked up some birch twigs and made a small wreath and then I added some alder cones with hot glue.
I used burlap mesh, wrinkled paper, stencils and sand effect paste to create texture. The lovely stencil with reindeer and the "glitter flakes" are from Aliexpress. The paint I used are acrylic paints made by various brands.
It's a great Christmas/Holiday project and a beautiful gift idea as well!

XOXO ----Flip through: ART JOURNAL from the 80s and 90sAuermedia Arts & Crafts2018-11-09 | Art journal flip trough - old pencil drawings and water color paintings etc. I made in the 1980's and 1990's and saved in a binder. I didn't call it an art journal when I started it in the 80's, but that's how I see it today. The oldest drawings were made while I was still at school and the newest art piece is from drawing classes I attended in 1996.
I thought it would be a fun idea to share my old art work. I hope you'll enjoy my video tour to the past!

I set myself a challenge to make a simple, vintage style, grunge junk journal with lots of journaling space using as much junk as possible: old photocopies, old book pages, junk mail, old clothes, pure trash and so on. I'm going to use it as my bullet journal.

If you're looking for quick ideas on how to make a mixed media shadowbox, this tutorial is for you! I really love the autumn/fall coloring of this collage - orange red with cardboard box brown on white background - but of course you can use whatever colors you want. You can also upcycle old book pages making this collage!
I hope you'll enjoy the video and get some ideas you can use in your own collage!
I started with drawing a simple lily flower using a Derwent Inktense pen/pencil (color Bark). I hoped using dark brown Inktence pen together with vibrant Dylusions inks and white color would create a lovely variety of muted pastel colors - and it did.
At first I didn't like the left side of the page, so I ended up using all kinds of stuff I hadn't planned. However, In the end I was very happy with the page and I really love the dusty pastel coloring of this page. I hope you enjoy watching the process!
The sentiment is cut out from a Project Life card (Peggy Higgins / Kristin Nohe Jucks)
I used a primed canvas, lace, ribbons, metal decorations, buttons, harlequin stencil etc. to create this mixed media canvas. I started with a rather simple layout and aimed at keeping it simple. At the end of the process I was really happy how it turned out. I hope you like it too!
I used acrylic paints, mainly Amsterdam.

This video is about general ideas that you can apply anywhere, anytime, whenever you need an idea on how to make quick & minimalistic card (Happy Birthday etc.) - without using much of your time - and without spending a lot of money - just use your stash!
I used square and rectangle card bases, drawing paper and watercolor paper, foiled vellum paper, water colors, acrylic paint, ink pads, markers, a small packet of die cut embellishments, gem stickers and a few other embellishments to create these cards.
It only takes 20 seconds to create the quickest card of all!
All cards are affordable and made of materials that are widely available.
I hope you'll find my video tutorial helpful or at least entertaining. Have fun and don't forget to leave a comment and give me thumbs up if you liked it!

See you in my next video! XOXOART JOURNAL: Collage page with magazine cuts, Dylusions inks and acrylicsAuermedia Arts & Crafts2018-06-23 | Mindmap - Bound to work - ART JOURNAL PAGE with magazine cuts, Dylusions ink sprays and transparent acrylic paints.
Instead of background stamping, I created texture with black and white magazine cuts and layered more cuts over it. I used pink (Bubblegum pink), purple (Pomegranate seed) and white (White linen) Dylusion inks on the top layer. I also used transparent acrylic paints (cheap paints from Flying Tiger) to color the bottom layer.
The bottom layer is covered with clear gesso by Dina Wakley / Ranger. I used tiny dots stencil by Balzer designs and another stencil with sand effect paste.
The focal point and embellishments are magazinecuts as well.
You can see the whole process on the video tutorial. Learn how to make a layered collage page and see how the inks and acrylics worked together!
I called the page "Mindmap" as I think it captures the essence of creating and processing ideas better than any simple diagram could. So it's the mindmap of an artist - with pretty colors, of course.
I'm quite happy how the page turned out and I'm certainly going to make more mixed media collage pages in the future!
This quick art journal page was colored with acrylics (stenciled brick wall background) and chalk pastels (details). The bike and flower stamp set was included in Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine (issue 183 June 2018) but you'll definitely find something to replace it, if it's not available any more.

XOXOART JOURNAL: A Hundred Years - winter scenery with acrylic paints process videoAuermedia Arts & Crafts2017-12-06 | The process of making the art journal page "A Hundred Years" from start (two weeks ago) to finish (today) with acrylic paints, stencils, effect paste and paper cutouts. See how to paint a winter scenery with acrylic paint!
As today is the independence day of Finland and the country will be a hundred years old today, the page celebrates the birthday of my home country. Reindeers, blue winter scenery and Fazer's blue chocolate are not only things associated with Christmas time - they are very, very finnish as well.
I used a willow wreath as the base for this simple Christmas wreath. Adding metallic looking, glittery stars turned it into kind of 'rustic glam' piece. You'll find a video tutorial on how to make paper stars here: youtube.com/watch?v=aJmyK0TQFSE

I hope you'll like this video and find inspiration to make your own art journal pages! I've included also the pages that I didn't film and that are not found in my playlist.
Upcycle a cereal box and make these beautiful vintage looking cogs and gears. DIY "metallic" cogwheels and other embellishments can be used in various projects: in cards, scrapbooks, art journals and mixed media art projects.
This art journal page was inspired by paint brushes, as I'm painting the walls of my new apartment at the moment. "Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life."
