Junk Journal Making for Non-Crafty People is a comprehensive step-by-step class to crafting a handmade Junk Journal. If you can't cut a straight line or punch a clean hole, This class is for YOU!!! Welcome Welcome!
HERE, perfect is boring, and there's magic in mistakes! Led by an approachable instructor with a down-to-earth communication style, Kathy shares her own experience to walk you through the process of crafting a Junk Journal that you will love the process of making, love to use, that you'll be proud of, and that you'll be inspired to work in again and again!
Kathy provides inspiration and ideas for sourcing recycled materials to use for your Junk Journal. She uncovers ways to think about your creative process that will help you focus on considering what purpose you want your Junk Journal to serve for you, to help cut to the heart of your inspiration and avoid creative overwhelm!
