FAQS
You have junk journal questions. And we want to answer them!
Take a look below to find answers to common questions.
WHAT IS A JUNK JOURNAL?
A junk journal is a handmade or altered book with pages created from many sources: recycled materials (old sheet music, maps, illustrations, notebooks, etc.) and also printable images (such as junk journal kits from Etsy, etc.). It can be made of paper, fabric, etc., and usually includes ephemera (things such as old stamps, receipts, tickets, postcards, etc.).
You can learn ALL about junk journals, supplies, terminology and what to do with a junk journal in our A-Z Glossary.
HOW DO I BUY & DOWNLOAD PRINTABLE FILES ON ETSY?
It can sound scary at first, but downloading and printing files is completely do-able!
