So Much Free Craft Paper | Harvesting Junk Mail Envelopes
For a free art course and printables, join my community, here: https://helencoxbooks.com/subscribe To access my printables shop, click here: https://payhip.com/HelenaBird In this video, I harvest craft paper and collage fodder from ordinary junk mail envelopes. Window envelopes, security patterns, postage marks, and interesting typography can all become valuable materials for junk journals, glue books, art journals, and mixed media collages. Instead of throwing these papers away, we’ll harvest useful textures, shapes, and design elements that add character and authenticity to your pages. This is a wonderful way to save money, reduce waste, and train your eye to see creative possibilities in everyday life. Join me as we transform discarded paper into inspiring supplies for your next journal spread or collage project.
