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.
