Create your Journal to Match Your Personal Style
You’ll Learn Inside this training:
Journal Building Basics – Discover how to build your Journal from scratch; Create a cover, fold papers, often coffee or Avocado dyed into Signatures and sew on to the spine.
Beginner-Friendly Strategy – Learn new skills as you create each Journal. There are so many styles of Junk Journals, we make a different style each month.
Learn to Re-Purpose Materials – We encourage using Brown Packing paper, Amazon packaging, pages from books that are falling apart and laces from thrift store garments to make many Journals.
Meet like-minded folks – Other students are drawn to creating with basic materials, paper and glue, items some people would call Trash. Join us to see how much you will enjoy the unique Junk Journal you produce.
"My goal as a Junk Journal teacher is to introduce the art of creating journals that incorporate recycled materials as well as new,
creating beautiful and useful unique pieces of art
that are called Junk Journals."

Get to know Ann...
Ann learned about hand-making junk journals prior to the Covid-19 shut down. She found a lot of Junk Journal teachers on YouTube. Ann discovered she could order supplies delivered, watch YouTube videos and stay completely contented during the pandemic shutdown.
She started crafting journals as gifts for loved ones. Ann taught at JN Long Cultural Arts Center in Cleburne for two years. She is now trying out her workshops at the United Cooperative Services Community Room, off I-35W just south of Burleson, TX.
Ann has been able to pursue her passion by teaching others how to make junk journals of their own. It is fun to watch other people get excited about creating their own Junk Journals.
The neat thing about attending a workshop is the new friends you will meet and make. Ann has made several new friends,over the last few years. All enjoy making Junk Journals and ephemera to add inside.
Here's what folks have to say about the Junk Journal with Ann's Experience!
It's about more than the Journals, it's about life.
"Thank you Ann. I absolutely loved learning how to make this from a paper grocery store bag, a scrap of fabric, textile medium, hand dyed paper, a piece of lace and some recycled rug fabric. I am having the best time transforming the inside pages with wonderful paper images of flowers, birds, butterflies, and many more of my favorite things." - Cindy M.
