What is a Punch Junk Journal?

For free printables and a free art course, join my community here: https://helenabird.substack.com/subsc... Have you ever looked at a paper punch and wondered what else it could do besides make circles or shapes? In today's video, I'm sharing the wonderfully creative world of the Punch Junk Journal — a playful approach to junk journaling where everyday packaging, junk mail, magazines, food boxes and other discarded papers become abstract collage elements. Using a variety of paper punches, I transform ordinary "junk" into tiny pieces of art: faux postage stamps, colourful dots, geometric shapes and textured fragments that can be layered into unique journal pages. This is a simple, relaxing technique that's perfect if you: • Love junk journaling or glue books • Want to use up scraps and reduce waste • Enjoy abstract collage and intuitive creativity • Feel overwhelmed by a blank page • Are looking for an easy, low-pressure art activity No artistic experience required — just grab a few paper punches, some recycled paper and see where your imagination takes you. I'd love to know: what unexpected materials would you punch into your journal pages? ✨ If you enjoy creative reuse, collage, glue books and junk journaling, don't forget to like, subscribe and say hello in the comments. #JunkJournal #PunchJunkJournal #CollageArt #GlueBook #PaperCraft #AbstractCollage #junkjournaling #CreativeReuse #Upcycling #MixedMediaArt
