My World of Mini Junk Journaling
Built from packaging, scraps, and whatever’s nearby, mini junk journaling is where I create without planning or pressure. The pages are quick, intuitive, and become small records of ordinary days.
Mini junk journaling has slowly become its own small world for me. They’re built from whatever is already around me; packaging, scraps, labels, bits of paper that would otherwise be thrown away. I like that nothing here needs to be a certain way, and every spread is always so fun and different.
Because the pages are quick and rely on my intuition rather than something I "plan for", the pressure stays small too. I’m not thinking about composition in a big-picture way or wondering if something “worked.” I’m just responding to what’s in front of me. The scrap next to that one, this color beside another, and thinking like "oh hey that looked cool last time".
It’s fun work and helps me identify the elements I'm naturally drawn towards!
Over time, these mini pages have started to feel like a record of everyday life. Little visual timestamps of ordinary days. When I flip through them, I see moments!
A mini junk journaling practice doesn’t need specific rules, convoluted themes, or a need for self-improvement. It exists exactly at the scale my attention can handle, especially on days when everything else feels loud.
This is my world of mini junk journaling.
I am an artist who loves to work with her hands!
Some of the textures and papers I made and use in these pages are available as printables. You can find them here if you’d like to work with them too → Shop
