Springtime Reverie Junk Journal Series | Cover Decoration, Handmade Paper Flower & Hidden Journaling Spot

In this fourth installment of the **Springtime Reverie Junk Journal Series**, we’re bringing the journal cover to life with layers of texture, vintage charm, and beautiful details. I’ll walk you through my process for decorating the cover, including how I build up layers to create a stunning focal point.

We’ll also create a handmade paper flower—a delicate embellishment that adds a lovely handcrafted touch. Then, I’ll show you how to make a decorative hidden journaling spot, perfect for adding secret notes and extra writing space to your journal.
