I made my first upcycled junk journal! Beginner Junk Journal Ideas with Decoupage

I have a new crafting obsession: junk journalling! Hear me out: making your own journals out of recycled and upcycled elements has scratched an itch I didn't know existed. Using our favorite crafting techniques such as paper napkin decoupage, stamping, Chalk Couture and more, we can create beautiful upcycled junk journals for ourselves and others. Follow along as I make my first junk journal as a beginner - maybe by the end I'll have converted you to a junk journaller as well!
