From Box to Book: Create a Journal from Repurposed Materials
Duration: 3 Hours

Turn your everyday recyclables into something meaningful and beautiful! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind journal using exclusively repurposed materials.

We’ll begin by crafting a custom book cover using a recycled box,  think cereal, cracker, or any lightweight cardboard packaging, then decorate it using collage techniques.

Next, we’ll explore creative ways to make the pages using reclaimed paper. Mix and match materials, add envelopes or pockets, and experiment with textures and layers.

We’ll bind the journal using a simple, yarn-wrapped technique that allows you to add or remove pages whenever inspiration strikes easily.

Whether you envision an art journal, a junk journal, or a clean space for writing or sketching, you’ll leave with a truly unique creation — a perfect keepsake or thoughtful handmade gift.

All skill levels welcome. Bring your imagination and your stash — we’ll supply the guidance and inspiration!
