JUNKY JUNE: TRANSFORM CARDBOARD PACKAGING INTO A LUXURY FOLIO?JOURNAL UPCYCLING PROJECT

Hi guys, welcome to "Junky June"! This month, I’m diving into a world where we turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. The theme is all about reusing, repurposing, recycling, and reinventing items we usually discard. Think of it as a trash-to-treasure adventure!
In today’s episode, I’ll show you how to transform a simple piece of cardboard packaging into a luxurious, fabric-covered folio/journal. It’s a perfect project for anyone looking to creatively reuse their household junk, including all that junk mail that piles up.
So, let's roll up our sleeves and convert our trash into treasure. This is a beginner-friendly project, so everyone can join in and create something beautiful from the mundane.

Remember your tutorial on making frames the other day? I used an empty Kleenex box to make the frame base....worked perfect.

This is absolutely beautiful. It helped so much that you showed how to do different closures, how to score for a file folder pocket, and doing the dangles on the spine. I haven’t seen how to do those things until now. Thank you! ❤️
