This project began as a small box of forgotten things and slowly became something else. In this video, I turn a junk journal into a wall-hanging cabinet of curiosities, attaching it to the lid of a handmade box and filling it with tiny objects, textures, and memories.
This isn’t a traditional junk journal tutorial — it’s about working with one object, letting it lead, and allowing a journal to become part of the space it lives in. Create your own Cabinet of Curiosities journal in this inspiring junk journal tutorial!
If you love art journaling, mixed media, bookbinding, or vintage-inspired crafts, this DIY project is perfect for you.
Using thrifted treasures, eco-dyed papers, aged ephemera, and unique found objects, I’ll show you how to craft a journal that feels like a miniature museum of wonders.
This step-by-step tutorial is designed for crafters of all ages who are passionate about junk journals, scrapbooking, slow crafting, and upcycled art. Whether you collect vintage paper, trinkets, pressed flowers, or handwritten notes, this journal is the perfect way to display your keepsakes in a creative, meaningful way.
We’ll explore collaging, layering, distressing, and embellishing techniques to bring an antique, old-world charm to your journal. Perfect for those who love eco-dyeing, botanical prints, and book arts, this project transforms everyday materials into a one-of-a-kind handmade book.
