How to Make Pockets for your art Journals

Why You Should Use Pockets in Your Art Journals

I've got a new video tutorial for you. Follow along as I create in my Skinny Mini Journal.  I'll show you how to add pockets to your junk and art journals (any kind of book, really) using vellum drafting paper.

Here are a few reasons why you should consider adding pockets:

1. Organize Your Keepsakes: Pockets are perfect for stashing small mementos, such as tickets, notes, or photos, keeping your journal tidy and organized.

2. Interactive Elements: A pocket introduces an interactive aspect, making your journal more engaging. Tuck in little surprises or mini-books for a delightful discovery.

3. Enhanced Creativity: Experiment with different papers and materials to personalize your pockets, sparking creativity and adding a unique touch to each journal spread.

4. Versatility: Pockets offer a versatile design element, allowing you to adapt and tailor them to various themes or styles within your junk journal.

5. Functional Art: Beyond their aesthetic appeal, pockets serve a practical purpose. They provide additional space for journaling or doodling, making your journal both visually pleasing and functional.

So, join me in this tutorial to unlock the fun and functional potential of pockets in your junk journals!
