Learn How To Make A Junk Journal At The Farm!

Fargo Antiques & Repurposed Market is super excited to announce our first DIY events: Junk Journal Workshops with Lil Muske!
Picture
Part of our January is National Hobby Month events lineup, these workshops are like a Junk Journaling 101 - an introduction to the basics of making your very own junk journal. And, yes, you will leave the workshop with your very own handmade junk journal book! 

For those who don’t know much about junk journals, they are similar to scrapbooks - with the major difference being that junk journals are handmade books primarily made with found & recycled (or repurposed) materials. As such, the process makes the books a combination of paper (or mixed media) arts and journaling, whether that journaling is for the written word, drawing or doodling, photos, or some combination thereof.

In the words of Chelle, the creator of Art Journalist, a junk journal is “a book which is often made through found and recycled materials to be used as a way to collect and record memories, thoughts, ideas, and inspiration.”

If you’ve ever enjoyed flipping through vintage scrapbooks, you’ll love junk journals!

Shown above are some old scrapbooks as seen in Scrapbooks: An American History by Jessica Helfand. 

Below are some pages from one of Zelda Fitzgerald’s scrapbooks, described by Jessica Helfand as “a series of marvelous makeshift collages that combine fund matter with drawing & writings,” and a “compendium of letters, photographs, clippings, reviews, invitations, gossip, and idle chatter.”

​Yummy!


Who knows, one day, someone may be as enchanted by turning the pages of your junk journal as many of us are looking at Zelda Fitzgerald’s scrapbook!

Because you create junk journals, the books are as individual as you are. Junk Journals can be shades of vintage ivory & white, full of crazy wild pop art color, soft & romantic - they can be about journaling your travel, planning your wedding, documenting your life - or your pets’!



Other junk journal ideas include, family reunion or other event gifts, gratitude journals, and motivational goal journals (equal parts workbook, journal, & planner). The possibilities in themes and purpose are as endless as your creativity & materials!

Instead of buying an artsy journal, fancy leather notebook, scrapbook, or blank book, you can make your own junk journal at the Farm!

In our Junk Journal Workshops, Lil Muske will walk you through the basics of making your own journals - you will leave with a bound book to continue your journaling fun!

There are a few books available to buy on how to make a junk journal, as well as video guides and tips, but in our hands-on workshop, you can ask questions as you are making one!


​Of course, at Farm we have lots of old paper, ephemera, ribbons, bits & bobs to continue embellishing your journal - and start new ones.  

These are Junk Journaling 101 Workshops, but those who enjoy making them may want to come along for the time to get their DIY on - & it’s a great way to introduce your friends to the junk journaling magic!

There are 2 dates for the Junk Journal Workshops, and seating is limited, so please reserve your spot today at our Eventbrite page!
