Handmade Junk Journal/Faux Leather Cover
I like how the cover turned out. It took me a while to make it but it’s worth it. I used a brown grocery bag, some distressed ink, coffee, and mod podge to create this lovely cover. Please check out the flip through video. This junk journal is available at my Etsy shop.

Handmade paper for the first time
Making handmade paper was quite fun. They turned out great and I used some of it to create embellishments, pockets, and belly bands for my junk journals. The only thing I don’t like about handmade papers they are not great for watercolors. Maybe there other ways to make paper that can work with watercolors. I will try and research more.

Handmade Junk Journal
Hello beautiful people! I think this is my 22nd junk journal that I made so far and many more to do. I remembered my first junk journal that I made it was a disaster. I was watching a youtube tutorials and they are using double sided tape to put together a junk journal. So I tried using double sided tape and at first I was happy because it was going so well but when the weather gets cold my pages fell apart. So I researched youtube for more tutorials and learned how to sew and found the best glue to use for the pockets and tucks. It worked perfectly and never had a problem with my pages falling apart. I never used double sided tape for any of my pages for years. Please check out my flip through video to see the inside of this junk journal.

DIY Miniature House/Tea House
I am always a fond of miniature houses because of their details. I came across this diy miniature tea house on Amazon and I bought it right away. I thought some of the furniture and tea boxes are premade, but I had to build everything even the thinnest pieces. At first, I was having a hard time because I am not used to putting together something that are too small, but I had fun. It will surely test your patience. Overall, it turned out beautiful. The tea house has lights and music box. Please check out Cutebee’s miniature houses on Amazon.
