5 Easy to make Art Journals
In today's video we look at a selection of 5 mixed media and recycled art journals, and I show you how I have worked in them and some of the supplies that I have used. With the number of items that we have in our supplies or just around the house, you will probably find most of the things you already have without going out to buy anything else. If you don't have that particular item, then substitute it for something else (that is where the fun really begins!
Materials - remember to substitute if you don't have:
- Cardboard
- Tetra-pak (milk cartons)
- Old greetings cards or packaging
- Fabric Scraps
- background papers
- Paper ephemera that you have made or source images from an old magazine
- Brown paper/wrapping paper
- Glue
- Embroidery thread to stitch the books or use yarn
What You will learn
I hope to take out the hesitation for creating an art journal, waiting for the right supplies, the right weather or whatever the excuse may be and get you putting something together by the end of the video just for you. You don't have to put it all together in one sitting, savor it and come back to it.
Reflection Prompt
What supplies or recycling materials have you been sitting on that you can use in a creative project today?

I mention when making some of the small art journals the digital papers that I have used. Each month on my I create a set of digital download papers across different tiers that can be used in the art journals or creative projects. I also create a set each month that are FREE until the end of the month for you to download and start creating.
