Junk Journal Journey
A Teen Creative Gathering
Create. Collect. Express.
Turn ordinary brown paper lunch bags into a one-of-a-kind junk journal filled with pages, pockets, color, and personality!
During this hands-on gathering, teens will build and decorate their own journal using scrapbook paper, stickers, washi tape, tags, ribbon, and creative embellishments. There are no perfect pages and no artistic experience is needed—just space to create, experiment, and make something uniquely yours.
