UPCYCLE THAT PAPER! AN INTRODUCTION TO MAKING JUNK JOURNALS with Carol-Ann Hoyte
Junk journals are made from an assortment of new and recycled types of papers. Participants will learn how to
make a cover for a junk journal, create pages for it, and embellish these pages. These useful and attractive
books are a great papercraft, as they use multiple materials found around school or home. These creations can
be used for journaling and other types of writing, drawing, storing keepsakes, and more! Junk journal-making is
an affordable craft that allows students to be creative while also being a friend to the environment.
Themes: Other than Arts, the workshop incorporates elements of STEAM.
Materials: Food cardboard box, recycled assorted papers, elastic string, white glue, scissors, pencil, ruler,
masking tape, double-sided tape, embellishments (i.e. stickers, used stamps, playing cards, greeting cards,
used postcards, photos, magazine pages, etc.).
Grade Levels: Kindergarten, Elementary Cycle 1, 2, 3, Secondary Grades 7-11
