Kittywitty Papercraft | 'Stacks & Layers': How to Make a Ring-Bound Junk Journal Mini-Class for Beginners! @KittywittyPapercraft | Uploaded April 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Thank you for checking out this mini-class on making a ring-bound junk journal! This is a great first journal to make if you are brand-new to making junk journals!
In this video, I am sharing my signature page building method for putting the pages together in a ring-bound journal. There are no right or wrong ways to make a junk journal, but I've heard from many people that the process seems intimidating or overwhelming and that keeps people from attempting to make one, so I created a "formula" to give you a sort of framework to simplify the process. Hopefully, after you make a few journals, you can drop the framework because you will feel more confident!
(Note: I fizzled out by the end LOL so I have a flip-through of the whole journal with all the finishing touches on it, on the video right after this one on my channel.
SUPPLIES USED:
Approximately 10 each of the following:
1. scrapbook paper (I used Echo Park Happy Easter and Echo Park Spring--both are older collections)
2. ledger or notebook paper
3. book pages
4. ephemera (playing card size or larger)
5. journaling cards/die cuts (I used ones from KB and Friends: etsy.com/listing/776445879/retro-easter-spring-digital-ephemera?ref=shop_home_active_1&crt=1
* printable "coloring book covers" (front/back) from KB and Friends (optional): etsy.com/listing/782779845/printable-retro-spring-coloring-book?ref=shop_home_active_4&crt=1
* 2 pieces of scrapbook paper to mount to "coloring book: covers
* 2- 1 inch binder rings: amzn.to/3dPhE4H
* hole punch: amzn.to/2xOJxJt
* reinforcer punch: amzn.to/2X6k891
* double-sided tape or glue (for attaching cover to scrapbook paper): amzn.to/39HNgpr
* decorative items (optional: small ephemera, ribbon, fabric, etc.)
