Did you know you can turn plain envelopes into a beautiful junk journal in less than 1 hour? No fancy tools - just envelopes you probably already have in your stash. I'll walk you through every step of building a gorgeous envelope journal from scratch. This is a beginner-friendly tutorial, demonstrating the Lark's Head stitch. If you used to do macramé...you can do this stitch!
