Trying a Book Kit
A book kit can be a great inroad for the beginning book maker, as well as a fun project for someone who’s been at it awhile. This week, Bree received a book kit from fellow book maker, Former Housewife. Bree had fun putting the project together, and I was impressed by the quality of the finished piece.
The kit comes with everything you need to create your own journal, as well as instructions. Learn more about Former Housewife at the link below, then watch Bree put together and review the kit in the video!

How to Make a Junk Journal from Old Books
1134’s very first handmade book was a mini-comic called The Adventures of Blakbone. I made about ten copies and was stoked to have sold one to a reader all the way in Australia. Was I an international author at that point? Since then, we’ve made numerous handmade books of varying genres.
In recent years, Bryonna has taken our handmade books to a new level of creativity. Unlike the printed and roughly stapled mini-comics and zines of our past, Bryonna’s journals are made with creative intention. Each journal has its own creative spirit.
We thought that the next logical step would be to share the process of journal making with everyone. Learn How to Make a Junk Journal from Old Books in the video below; presented by Bryonna.
