I'm a beginner. Haven't done any journals yet i'd like to see junk journa! Made from gift bags
I would love to see a tutorial on a junk journal from a gift bag, sounds awesome
Yay!! It’s in the works!! 💗💗💗
Dang every junk journal video is some nice cute old lady making a junk journal 😊 and then theirs me a 12 year old trying to start junk Journaling 😭
Hey I'm there with you! I'm in my thirties not 12 but I was thinking dang I'm getting old lol
Most, if not all, of these items, can be found at a local thrift store. It's hit or miss just at a dollar store but at a thrift store, you have the existential happiness of knowing you are buying things that might end up in a landfill while usually benefitting a charity and the practical happiness of knowing you are spending a little less money. I try the thrift store first but if I can't find what I need (and do I REALLY need it?), then I definitely try the dollar stores. TFS.
A tip from non-US viewers like me, please check outsome of these alternatives!
-Thrift/Second-Hand/Charity shops (my personal go-to and favourite, especially if is a charity shop and the proceeds are donated, and stuff isn't thrown away to landfill)
-Tiger
-Poundland
Wow, your Dollar Tree is stocked like crazy! Unfortunately mine isn’t. We live in the country, so we have to either go to the small towns around us which do what they can for supplies, or drive 4 hours to the biggest city to get whatever I want. I don’t get to the city very often, so I make due with my cute little shops. I’d love to be able to spend hours and hours at a fully stocked store. I’d be in Heaven!
This actually isn’t my local store and yes this one is very nice! But i bet your town is very beautiful and serene 💗 What you miss in local box stores you make up in charm!
@@karatootie , yes, our little stores are priceless. 1 battery package, 1 package of fish, 1 row of magazines. I wouldn’t want it any other way. I love the slow life and have always been a country girl even though I’ve lived in the big cities too. Nothing like living in the country in a tiny hamlet of 150-175 people.
My daughter and myself will start Junk Journaling this summer and this video was AWESOME for us beginners!! Thank You
That is awesome Brenda! I will be doing a series where I make a junk journal using dollar tree supplies soon! 💗
Yes, I'd love to see a gift bag junk journal tutorial:)
I love these ideas. Thank You for these tips. Paper tape who’d a thought.
Awe you are so welcome!! ♥️
The small organization containers are fantastic! There are also little drawers that I used to organize my Pom poms!!
What a great idea with the little drawers Ann! Yay for pom poms 🥳💗
So awesome! YES, I want to see tutorials on ALL THE THINGS!!!
Your wish is my command! 😂💗💗💗
@@karatootie at least somebody says that to me🤣🤣
Yes to this!!!
New subscriber in Atlanta and tippy toeing into junk journaling! :)
Oh yay! You guys have the best dollar trees! I’ll be posting a tutorial for a little junk journal made of all dt items this week…so be on the lookout! Thanks for stopping by!! 💗💗💗
the gauze tape is excellent to reinforce spines also. Very flexible and strong :)
Yes!!! Honestly every time I go in dollar tree I feel like I need to get more! 😂 I just love the look and feel of it!
@@karatootie 😂me too! Always come out with more than I expected! I just can't say No 🤭
I want to see you make journals with these supplies
I would love to see how treat bags can be a cover
I’ll add that to my list! Thanks Kristine 💗
@@karatootie yes plz
Love to see a junk journal made of a gift bag
Just got the perfect one! Video coming soon! ♥️
Yes someone you love ❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰
Would love to see junk journal from a gift bag!!
It’s in the works 💙💙💙
Love to see a junk journal out of a gift bag. First time seeing you. i really enjoyed you.
Oh thank you! A BIG welcome hug to you!! I will be making the gift bag journal later this month! Stay tuned! 💗💗💗
great ideas. I never thought of using make up blending tools. I will get one next time I go to Dollar Tree.
Thanks!! I love the makeup brushes for paint brushes as well! 💗💗💗
Hi. I love Dollar Tree videos, so loved your video, too. But one tiny suggestion: please move the camera much, much slower. When you pan it up and down and right and left, it is very stomach churning! I stopped the video for a minute to get oriented again, and I'm going to go back and watch the rest if I can. Other than that, the video is great!!
Awe…I will definitely take your suggestion in! I hate getting motion sickness as well! 💗
@karatootie i know this was a year ago, but for any other creators: use camera stabilization or video stabilization in post!
So glad you mentioned your store was not always as well stocked as the one featured. Mine is a good store but not as clean or as well organized...made me feel better. Loved this video.
Yes! I have seen some stores that are so amazing but where I live they are usually either not that clean or not well stocked. For example we JUST got the peg board system although I saw it on YT MONTHS ago! Through all of that, I still love dollar tree though! ♥️
Wow! This Dollar Tree is amazing!
So much fun!!! Love all the ideas, especially the paper tape!
Glad you enjoyed it Terri! Thanks for your comment!! 💗💗💗
Ooh thanks for the information about the paper tape!! I ❤️ the dollar store!
Thanks for watching!! You’ll love the paper tape! 💗
Awesome haul! Yea would love a video of examples you’ve made with these supplies! Pretty please!
Absolutely! Anything in particular you’d like to see first? 💗
Dollar tree nail polish and eye shadows are good for adding pops of color also ❤
Thanks for Sharing 👍
I enjoyed the tour throughout your Dollar Tree Store. I am going to start journaling soon. I need Alot of tutorials.
How exciting Benita!! Make sure you check out my instagram and pinterest. I do a lot of page spreads over there ♥️
Fun ideas! 🤩
Glad you like them! Thanks for the comment!
GREAT ideas!!! Thank you!
You’re so welcome Cindy!! Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet words!! 💗
I am currently working on a junk journal made out of a small 6x9 flat bag. It’s super fun.
That’s awesome!! I just saw some small gift bags at dt today and I thought they’d make awesome small journals!! 💗💗💗 (if you post on ig…tag me)
love this 😊
Love the idea of utilizing Dollar Tree, especially as I’m new to the junk journal trend.
Yes! It’s such a wonderful resource for beginners and experts alike! Plus you don’t have to worry about messing something up that is expensive! 💗💗💗
Best tip for new junk journalers, don’t collect too much stuff. Use what is already around the house. Buy minimally, maximize your making! Some people start out as crafters and turn into collectors/hoarders.
Wonderful video! 🥰. This Dollar Tree was fantastic! The art and craft supply aisle at ours is pretty well stocked, but there were things at yours I wish they had! The bead selection was so much better! And I’ve never seen watercolors at ours either!
I saw the little silicone covers for your fingers in one shot…I have those, and they are a life saver! Well…a finger saver! Lol! I always need to hold down a piece after I glue it, and I tend to use my finger instead of a silicone tool…so having this on my pointer finger and thumb works great! 🥰
Thank you for the awesome shopping trip! So many neato ideas! 🥰❤️
Aweee THANK YOU for your kind words! You just inspired me to use the little pink silicone finger thingys 😂 I have them, never use them, and always get burned!! 😂 I guess it’s the equivalent of wearing your sunnies on top of your head instead of on your face! 😂😂😂 Glad you enjoyed it! I have a couple more newer ones as well 💗💗💗
What a fun video. I loved how relaxing and entertainign it was. :D
By the way, could you do a video on the different uses of paper tape? That one is new to me (I'm used to masking tape and washi tape).
Sure! That is a great idea! I’ll add it to my list! 💗 Thank you for your kind words 💗
@@karatootie You are most welcome :D
Ok a couple things…I make a lot of my travel journals out of bags… my AZ one I just did used on, such a great tip! paints 👎 there are several video reviews. Also…mark making tools for the win! Thank you, this is a great tip! Love the video!
Good to know about the paints! I saw a tutorial where you can add (cornstarch?) to thicken them??
I would love to see the gift bag cover idea, please
Always paper tape, makeup brushes, notebooks, glues, so much i use.
DT really is awesome! at get continuously step up their game and add new items! Love them!
This is awesome!!! Thank you!
You're so welcome!🥰
I'm totally new to junk Journaling. I'm just in my research phase so I'm watching videos to see if this is something i want to get involved with after the holidays. Right now I'm doing fall and Christmas DIY's. So, I'm in search of any beginning junk Journaling videos from supplies to getting started! Thank you for your informative video! I have subscribed so I can keep up!

Oh, you are starting a wonderful journey!
SHEIN is great to get stickers and stuff for cheap
I wish my Dollar Tree had all these supplies.
Some are definitely better than others! My local one isn’t great either ♥️
absolutely beautiful store. Unfortunately my local dollar tree is pretty big, but it doesn't seem as well as stocked as this one.
My local one isn’t either! It would be nice if they all carried the same things, but the scavenger hunt is fun!!! ♥️
I would love to see a video on using a bag to cover a journal
Will do! I started a series and lost it somewhere! I’ll have to do another! 💗
I know that I'm a year late but yes please !
Yes I would like you to make a video
Wow! My Dollar Tree doesn’t even come close. Nice store
Neither does mine! 😔
Im throwing a graduation party in july abd we are looking for a guest book but they are expensive can you do a video on making simething like that please or link if you have one
My DT doesn't have all that stuff. I went yesterday looking for doilies. Only Valentine one's.
Did you check out the party section? That’s where I’ve found them. Also sometimes they are in end caps 💗
Green stripe
green stripe??
My name is Ingrid too!
That’s awesome! Love your name!! 😂 There are few of us! 💗
where in GA was this? i want to go to this store!! thank you for the tips
I believe this one was in Alpharetta 💗 but all the DTs I went to there are great! I think the one in Kennesaw may have been my favorite!
When you do a composition book fir a journal. Could you show how to do the front. Do you just cut out a picture and glue it on? How do you keep it on?
I can make a video…but in the meantime, I usually add glue the the book itself and then add paper on top. I will cut around the the edges and finish it off by decorating 💗💗💗
@@karatootie Thank you. I thought so. Wasn't sure after you glue the picture on. If you applied anything else on top. Like extra glue. Thank you for taking the time to help me. I want to make journals for.my family. Right know I am getting ideas for my pages and buying supplies. Thank you again and have a great day 😊
@@kathyfarnsworth9610 Awe! 💗 They are going to treasure them!! I’ll tag you when I post! 💗💗💗
How do you add charms to a junk journal? I use composition notebooks
There are several ways. For a composition notebook I would either hole punch the front cover and add a dangle there, or add some like a bookmark! Let me know if you’re interested and I can add it to videos to make 💗
I would like to see bag for front.
Kathy do you mean the bag made into a journal? I should be releasing the video for it soon! ♥️
Red
Red? I don’t remember anymore 🤦🏼♀️😂😂😂

The tube paints quality is not that great. The 2 best paints from dollar tree is the d.t brand of puffy paint/ fabric paint which I use on stuff besides fabric also. And the other is the Crayola brand washable paints in the smaller round containers. The rest have all been a miss 4 me due to them being very watered down. Also sometimes dollar tree has shoe polish and I have used the brown to distress my books and pages and stuff.
What great ideas!! I’ll be on the lookout for the paint…but I LOVE the idea of the shoe polish!! Thanks!! 🥰

My dollar tree always looks like a train wreck
😂 I went to a pretty bad one the other day…I’ll be posting soon!
What’s Dollar Tree? Is it like the UK Pound Shop?
Maybe? It’s a store where almost everything is 1.25 💗
Be patient with me please ~ What is the purpose of a "junk journal," especially if you have to buy stuff? Doesn't seem they can be used as a writing journal - I am crafty, but confused here ```
No worries! I think that the original junk journal was using “junk” or items that you’d normally discard. There’s now a whole community of people that use it more as either an art or writing (or both) journal, a little more like a commonplace book. There are also people that use it as a collage book. Junk Journal is more of a broad term. Maybe kind of like self-care, that can mean many different things to different people. Take a look at my page for some ideas of how I use them. I also have a video named Jink Journals 101 that may be helpful 💗 But either way a lot of the items I’m showing from dt are great for other crafts for sure!! 💗
I would love to see all your videos
Do u have or belong to a fb group?
NonIm not really on fb at the moment but I post regularly on pinterest an instagram 💗
I'm guessing you picked red.
That was so long ago (actually even if it was yesterday) I don’t remember what I was picking?! 😂😂😂
@@karatootie I just came across it recently. I'm sorry lol
Oh no problem at all! I just couldn’t remember? Was it the paper bag?
don't buy paint at DOLLAR TREE. THEY'RE BEUTIFUL IN THE BOTTLE, BUT HAVE VERY LITTLE PIGMENT. THEY WORK AS A GLAZE, BUT NOT FOR PAINTING.
Anyone use stencils, anymore???
I think so. I recently used one of the DT stencils using distress stains on a dt junk journal (video is on my channel) and I love the look! 💗
Yes please send tutorial... Thank you
Working on a journal using a gift bag right now. If there’s anything else…let me know 💗
Hi! Love your channel, but may I suggest you lower your music even more.....as it is difficult to hear and concentrate on your voice and what you are saying. Thanks.
Will do! 💗💗💗
