"In a world full of fast, disposable everything, there's something undeniably satisfying about reusing tactile materials and creating something with your own two hands. Enter junk journaling. A practice that has exploded in popularity in recent years, junk journaling is a hobby that invites you to dive into the world of collage and scrapbooking—all while sustainably using materials that might otherwise end up in the trash and keeping the pressure and effort low.
Think of it as a fun and artistic form of recycling. “You take bits and pieces of everyday life, things that might be considered ‘junk,’ and transform them into something beautiful and meaningful,” explains artisan Christina Argonish.
"If you are like us and have some orphan charm squares in your sewing stash, you can put them to good use by whipping up some Charm Square Fabric Trays. These fabric trays are a quick beginner project. I shared photos of some that I made last week on instagram and was asked to put together some directions. These zakka style fabric trays have been in Japanese sewing magazines over the years and can be made in a variety of sizes. They are not my original design but this is my way of constructing them." Comment from A Spoonful of Sugar Designs
Love this fabric tray so much!!! I look forward to making more than one of these.
