"ʜᴏᴡ ᴛᴏ sᴛᴀʀᴛ ᴊᴜɴᴋ ᴊᴏᴜʀɴᴀʟɪɴɢ?" ᴅᴇʟʟɪɢʜᴛғᴜʟ's ᴊᴏᴜʀɴᴀʟɪɴɢ ɢᴜɪᴅᴇ, ᴘᴀʀᴛ 𝟷

Hiyaa everyone! Today we'll be talking about: "ᴊᴜɴᴋ ᴊᴏᴜʀɴᴀʟɪɴɢ" 

Let's get into it!                         (There's pictures of different kind of junk journals in the very end)

Basic information!:

"Junk journaling" is practically like scrapbooks, but with junk!    

for example, you collect various "junk" for a month that you want to mark in your diary. For example, store receipts, fruit labels, polaroid camera photos...

Junk journaling is an awesome way to keep your little memories safe! And it's the best feeling to read the text's and look at the pictures after some time!

Sometime's the "junk" doesn't have to be things you would throw in the trash.. You can add anything you want. There's no rules

You can do Junk journal just how you like, there's no rules.

Some people make their journals very clean, romantic, very finished

or if you want, you can make your journal look messy, unfinished and look homemade! Both style's look awesome <3

"What all tools do i need for junk journaling?"

Just owning these gets you an good start!

- A pair of scissors!

- Glue or tape to attach the "junk"

- A notebook! (Or you can use the same journal you have been using!)

- A marker! (Or two if you want :>)

Tips:

When you are buying an notebook for scrapbooks, junk journal or even diaries, the best decision would be to buy an notebook with a string/tie on it. Scrapbooks and junk journals are usually very thick (depends on what you put between the covers!)  So then you can keep it closed :>

Don't think too much about how it is gonna turn out.. Just do anything you feel like, it's gonna look awesome!

Every page can look different from each one, it's very fun to read too then!

And if you want your journal to be a little more unique, you can add these too!

- Any kind of stickers ( Stickers make your journal super cute! )

- Colorful markers, watercolors... (Acrylic paint isn't the best idea for paper notebooks... sadly)

- Glitter ( I always add looooots of glitter, but it is a tiny little bit messy..)

Important:

Everyone can do their journals with just the way they like, there's no "right or "wrong" ways!

Yup! That's basically it!!!     

Feel free to ask anything related to journaling in the comments (Or just something that comes to your mind :>)

See you in the next blog!

This one is an great example for using receipts for your junk journal!  And it feels awesome to read the old receipts after some time! It's fun to feel "nostalgia" when reading them lol!
