how can we use them in the journal? just for decoration? what can we put inside? my brain has been stucked... 😄😄

[@jenjournalswithjunk1054]

No problem:) This is basically an item to make a page more interactive, interesting or decorative. How I use them in my junk journals is on pages that have a lot of pictures then I will paperclip this folder to the page with the date, places and events inside on a piece of paper. I also like to sew on both sides of the folder and use it as a pocket for smaller pieces of ephemera I have gathered from an adventure. I then just glue the back of the folder on 3 sides and then you have a double pocket one for a tag and the other for the ephemera or both for ephemera and then just journal around the pocket. I use them a lot with just a little piece of paper inside that has something I was grateful for that day and paperclip it in. Next, I use one of these folders in my daily planner. Post-it sticky notes have small rectangle papers that you can stick 4 in this folder, two on each side, and I write lists of gifts that I don't want my kid to see what I'm buying them or my husband especially around birthdays and Christmas. I haven't had one look inside the folder
yet:) You can also sew papers inside the folder like a little booklet and tuck it in a pocket after you journal in it. If you had a mini picture printer 3x2 I know those pictures will fit inside and you can stick a picture down on one side and journal directly on the other side of the folder. I hope these few ideas will help. Good luck.
