Art Journal Technique: Make a Junk Journal

Using the simple figure 8 stitch you can use just about anything to make a journal. IN this video I make a junk journal out of a Starbucks Via recipe booklet. I remove the staples and use thread to stitch it.

To complete this technique you'll need:
heavy thread
wax (bee's or a candle)
Needle with a large Eye
Binder Clip or some sort of clip

Remove the staples from the booklet and use the thread to stitch the journal.
