So many great ideas!! I’ve been a DIY’er my entire life..sewing, painting, etc..I’ve just started this junk journal rabbit hole several months ago..I am hooked! I had knee replacement surgery last Thursday..I’ve been binging on UA-cam videos with all the ideas..going through your Playlist..you’re a great Teacher..your enthusiasm and happiness just makes me smile!! Thank you for being such a positive person in our junk journal community!
I’m getting my “friend”..the sweet one that got me over 20 Little Golden Books after my surgery..to now start saving junk mail stuff..he just shakes his head..lol I’m working now on my first Little Golden Book..hoping to put little goodies in it..The Nutcracker for my Pastor’s little girl!! Soo excited to save the spine..it’s what makes it a Little Golden Book!
I love to collect the cereal bags that are inside the boxes. Naturally, I will cut them so they lay flat, and then wash and dry. They are my most loved "junk" because I use them when I need to glue, use Mod Podge, or if I'm using any mixed media on my projects. Nothing sticks so everything can be removed without damage to your projects. Thank you as always for sharing.
I also save Paper brown packaging for rewrapping gifts, (embellished clothing tags are great for this too!) cereal wax paper trimmed and wiped out ( I make little cookie size bags from them to hold all kinds of trinkets) , old art books or photography books that are outdated for the images! Love all the recycled material you also talked about! TFS ox
It must have been in the water when we were growing up! I save all this... except tissue boxes.. love that you keep the tops for frames. Might have to start saving those too. I just can't keep up with making my crafts. My favorite thing to save is the animal cracker boxes from Target! 🥰
Hi Lillian! I came across this video and it hit home with me. When I first started journaling, I really became obsessed with anything and everything I could save for a journal. I finally went through all my things and I decided to rid alot of it because as you said "there will be more coming in!" I am now more selective on what I keep. I have a very small craft room and occasionally I have to have a cleanout or I become very overwhelmed. Thank you for sharing your information and for your encouragement of what to do with all the stuff. I really look forward to more of your videos.
Hi It is so nice to meet a fellow recycler. I also having been doing this since I was a kid. I make jewelry. I also made my display cases out of old wine crates too.
I also save most of what you have shown here. Another great item to save are occasion cards like Birthday, Valentines, Thank you cards and etc. I will include cards as pages in my journals and just embellish what I want to change, or cut out sentiments or words or maybe pictures on the cards. I also use the heavy plastic bags that sheets or etc. come in and use them to store my collections. Another thing I love saving are tea bags to use in embellishing. We could go on and on couldn’t we...lol.😍
LOL - love this. I got so excited when Wal Mart delivered my groceries the other day and Town House has a new box! It is the family size and it is no longer long and skinny, it is thicker. Oh the things that excite us. LOL Look forward to seeing other videos.
Hi, I just started making Junk Journals and I love it. I was given some cookies packaged in a bakery bag. I kept it and am using it in my journal. It's the perfect size
Hi Lilly love & re use all of these items as well. I had to think of something you didn’t mention 😂 one of my favorites is paint chips for tags but the other I want to share are the glassine like packaging that the utensils come in from our local Chinese place it has a pretty image and I like to fold it in my junk journals for tuck spot on one side and the image on the other. Thanks for sharing all your ideas- my favorite is saving and using my card stock scraps I keep my magnetic holder full of my small dies just for this reason. 😊
Oh, I missed a bunch of things, hehe but Iove hearing about new ideas like the glassine bags from your local Chinese restaurant. That's a fantastic idea! I love using up those cardstock scraps too! 😊 I am now craving Chinese food. ;D
great ideas thank you so much .. I'm new to your channel and absolutely a fan love love your personality it brings the love out of your awesome work!! God bless you!!
Cartón corrugado estoy enamorada y cajas de cartón 📦❤también las guardo lo último es que aislé del frío 🥶 una gallina con sus pollitos ayudando así a mantener el calor y la luz 💡 de las otras gallinas realmente el cartón es buenisimo no puedo tirar nada de cartón lo uso para ponerlo afuera para que los gatos 🐈 se metan en las cajas 📦🙋♀️
I save 2 liter soda bottles. The clear, plastic ones with straight sides. I fill it with gifts. Great Baby Shower gift idea. I’ve done a bunch of those! I’m betting there’s a tutorial out there somewhere on it. They embellish easily & are so stinking adorable ❤ wish I could share a photo.
I save the thin paper from packages and wrap up my home made cards to send via the mail. I do this because the little casitas are hard to fit into an envelope.

Love your ideas! Yes, to the cereal wax paper. Brown paper packaging is the best. :)
I make bookmarks out of coffee shop “heat resistant sleeves”. I add an eyelet, a ribbon, dangles, charms and ephemera to jazz them up.
That is a brilliant idea for reusing those sleeves! How clever!

It's definitely a common "thing" for crafters. So many things so little time! hehe - I'm continuously finding new ways to use the old. 😊
