Going Green: Journals From Junk at Artful Dimensions

Like "Journals From Junk" at Artful Dimensions. Shredding paper works and throwing it in the recycling bin is helpful, but here's a great example of a way to reduce your trash by un-trashing it.

In this class we will use discarded books, cereal boxes, papers form the recycle bin, junk mail, used security envelopes and paper bags along with papers that you design yourself using paint, paste and collage techniques.  From this assortment of supplies you will create a NEW special journal/book to be used for whatever you choose.

You will stitch your new groups of pages into your journal using needles and sturdy twine to create your unique journal.
