How to make a Tarot Junk Journal: Part One (deconstructing a hardback book)

Join me all this week for a four-part tutorial on making a junk journal!
In part one of this series we will chat about what a junk journal is, how you might use it and then we will begin the process of deconstructing the book we will be using for the framework of my Queen Alice Tarot Journal.

I wouldn't cover that beautiful cover either. I love it!

How cool! I will confess that as a huge bibliophile it did hurt a little watching you pull that gorgeous book apart 😯, but I love your junk journals and am looking forward to watching the process all the way through to what I know is a gorgeous end result! The content you create and so graciously share with us is fabulous! Thank you Dawn Michelle!

I am so glad you enjoyed it. I admit, as a book lover myself, the first few I deconstructed made me cringe, but in the end, it's so worth it. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

I am so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@instagamrr]

Oh my god I would buy these. I'm such a paper texture fanatic, I just want to feel the pages!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

They are so much fun to work with. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

You would benefit from a tool called the Cinch produced by We R Memory Keepers which is essentially a book binding system for about 100 bucks. They're amazing. Making mini albums and journals and books of all.sorts truly becomes addictive. I'm sure there are a ton of videos for it. The Cinch. It's amazing g

This was fun! I have never tried covering a junk journal cover with fabric before, I should give it a go. I am looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. Thank you for sharing your process.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

My favorite is to make a journal and deck bag with matching fabric! I do have a fabric cover video coming at the end of this process as well. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

How cute is this Alice book!Thank you for the tutorial tips!xx

[@gloriamoore1205]

I love your videos and all your ideas. I have been involved in Junk Journaling for a couple of years, but hadn't thought about making a tarot journal. This is great! You are so clever. :)

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed it! Tarot junk journals are lots of fun, it gives you like a theme. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

[@etann999]

Not just this cover, but also the book block is so gorgeous! Oh, that gilding and illustrations, i would definitely keep that block and would bind in different book cover, to save those pages as a book )) with golden cover or fabric cover, imagine...? ))

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

That is a fantastic idea! I actually use several of the pages in the journal because they are so wonderful but I do have a second copy of this book, which will always stay in one piece because it's gorgeous! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@AmethystAscension]

This is just so beautiful, I’ve purchased books to use the pages & images in my journaling, but I’ve never thought of using the actual covers so I will definitely give this ago in the future 🖤 Your junk journals are stunning 🖤

20 minutos para sacar la tapa y pegar un trozo de lazo. Brillante...

[@loungeblogger]

why didn’t you keep the book as is and rip out pages to make it thinner and glue in new pages? wouldn’t that be a more efficient way?

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Yeah, sometimes I do that as well... just depends on what kind of a look I want. :)
