Back to School Crayon Box Junk Journal

Hi Friends!

Today I'm making a junk journal from a box of crayons-

Back-to school sales had these for .49 



I saved the crayons in a Mason Jar.




I found this card stock pack at DOLLAR TREE.



It reminded me of crayon colors



I used scissors to cut open the box top, bottom and
right side.





I laid the box flat to measure the paper for the inside.



I plan to make a hidden spine so I did not

glue the lining paper inside-


I measured and folded my signature pages. 

I wanted it to look like crayons.



Each folded page has other lined paper inside.





Each signature is sewn to the lining.

Some pocket pages were added.


Here's the spine-

I glued the lining inside the box.



Then the fun part-



I added rick-rack, paperclips, small pictures








This butterfly pin looked great with this paper.




Stitches are hidden



Here is the back side.




Here is the front!



And a top view-








Thank you for visiting !
