Junk journals are fun to make for our own journaling and for gifts. The best part is they are made from junk that is around the house - scrap paper, spiral notebooks, books that are falling apart, light cardboard boxes, old calendars and greeting cards, pieces of fabric or lace, stickers and craft supplies - anything that is no longer needed. The possibilities are endless. In this class, learners will turn junk into a beautiful and functional work of art. In this class, students will use their supplies to create their own, unique masterpiece. Students should bring to class a spiral notebook, various types of paper, a paper punch, glue (hot glue works best, but any glue will work), twine or thick string, and any supplies they would like to use to make their journal beautiful (fabrics, lace, stickers, greeting cards, calendars, photographs, etc.). Students will be taught to use these supplies to create a basic junk journal. Students will be given time to create their journal and share the results in class. This is a hands-on class. I will teach this class by modeling and explaining the procedure of creating a junk journal. I will bring my own supplies to class to create along with the students. I believe students learn best when they enjoy learning. I will emphasize there is no wrong way to create a junk journal. Students can be creative and express themselves.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students may opt to utilize hot glue in this class. Hot glue must be handled properly to avoid burns. Students will also be removing a metal spiral from a spiral notebook to create the cover of the junk journal. Care will need to be taken to avoid being poked or cut with the point of the spiral. Students will also be using a paper punch to punch holes. This can be difficult for young learners. Small items and glitter could pose a choking hazard if ingested. This class is not recommended for students under the age limit listed.
Supply List
Students will need to bring to class any supplies for making their junk journal. Required supplies include a spiral notebook, needle nose pliers for removing the spiral (unless students do this prior to class), a hole (paper) punch, a pencil, various kinds of paper, glue (hot glue works best, but any glue will work), and twine or thick string. They should also bring whatever supplies they would like to use to decorate their journals - craft supplies, glitter glue, stickers, old calendars or greeting cards, photographs, pieces of broken jewelry, silk flowers, buttons, etc.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

My name is Kandy Crosby-Hastings. I teach history, classic literature, and writing classes. I have two sons who were homeschooled from preschool through their high school graduation. I also have experience working in the public school system and as an online ESL teacher. I hold bachelor's degrees in education and religion and master's degrees in human services, history, and professional writing - all from Liberty University. I adore student-directed, critical thinking-based, fun learning. I believe students learn more when they enjoy what they are learning and are fully involved in the learning process.
Some fun facts about me are I began my professional writing journey by interviewing country music singers. I self-published my own magazine for a few years, in addition to freelance writing. Now, most of my writing takes the form of historical research. One of my most recent published articles tells the story of Thomas Hutchinson, a Loyalist during the American Revolution. My favorite historical era is the nineteenth century. Some of my research in this area earned first place in a 2018 research symposium.
