Turning an Old Happy Planner into a Junk Journal | Repurpose & Reuse | Daphne's Diary

[@Anne5440_]

Interesting idea. I'm not much for junk journals. But I think I could do this to make a scrapbook of places I have been when I was young. I have boxes of pamphlets and postcards I collected before I was old enough for cameras. Hmm, I saw some big planners cheap on clearance. Those would give a big scrapbook. I need to brainstorm this.

[@pnutdolly]

Yes! Sky's the limit! We can have so much fun customizing these creative books!

[@blanchesplace]

Omg omg omg! Thank you for creating this video. I have so many old hp pages 8 don't want to throw away and books of papers. I buy them simply because they are pretty

[@pnutdolly]

Yes! Me too! So nice to find a fun, creative use for them.

[@pamelacanton8856]

Would love to see more junk journaling using happy planners, etc. Great video!

[@pnutdolly]

Will do!

[@curly_gurl84]

I would love to see this progress! Makes me want to try it in a mini version since I’ve never done one before. Great way to repurpose the planner!

[@pnutdolly]

Yes! Any size you want! Go for it!

[@lynetteplans7974]

I've been wanting to make a junk journal, but have been intimidated by the sewing. I have plenty of discs and old planner covers that I can use. Great idea.😊🧡🍁

[@pnutdolly]

Yes! No sewing required in the discbound version. Unless you wanted to sew on your pages.

[@lynetteplans7974]

@@pnutdolly I don't want to sew on a button. Needle and thread make me break out in hives.🤣

[@roxyjinks9643]

I use a stapler to bind my journals, I’m using a happy planner note book to junk journal in!

[@LonitaFraser]

I just used a regular journal for my current one, a sketchbook for the next one. Also check places that sell yearly/dated planners - they usually sell stuff off cheap when it's part way through the year. I've got a couple of those for my next junk journals.

[@robinboodhoo3223]

I have been keeping junk journals for several years and I’ve actually never heard of these papers. Thanks so much for sharing and I would love to see a flip through as you continue to add to your beautiful project.

[@pnutdolly]

I think I saw a junk journals using her magazine on KZbin and I was hooked, later finding her paper. Stay tuned, I'll definitely post some more junk journal videos.

[@bchluvr7]

LOVE this! I have too many happy notes and unused planners…wonderful idea!

[@pnutdolly]

Right? I have so many I've bought on sale. Glad to have found a use for at least one of them. 😁

[@Rosepineres]

That's how I started my #happyjunkjournals

[@sherylwickenheiser2582]

I love Daphne’s diary. Got my first one at Sam’s club. Now I subscribe. Great video.

[@pnutdolly]

Such a gorgeous magazine!

[@rspringsplanningandesigns]

Love this! Trying to hold myself back from buying "all the things". So this project is very motivating to use what I already have. 😊 Thank you for posting this!

[@pnutdolly]

Yes! One of the reasons junk journaling is so great! As crafters we already have almost everything we need to get started. (Besides this project) most of my junk journal supplies I either already have, or are bought at used book sales and thrift stores.

[@cindycarmichael9768]

Thank you, that was so refreshingly different! I get weary of grunge after awhile. Your work was whimsical and delightful!

[@pnutdolly]

Thank you so much!

[@Laanwa43]

I love this! I just got an expired old happy planner in my Michael’s five dollar grab bag and I did not know what to do with it. This is perfect! thank you

[@pnutdolly]

Yes! Repurpose it as something fun! Thanks for watching!

[@Crafting_Whimsy]

Excited to see what you come up with….i just began junk journaling and I love my happy planner I’ve been thinking about merging them together and your ideas give me inspiration!

[@pnutdolly]

Wonderful!

[@donnazwerus4706]

A great way to transform an unused planner.

[@pnutdolly]

Right? Thanks.

[@joseduijf-arets1422]

I love the idea. I will make some of my own. I have an old happy planner, so I can use parts of it. Thanks for the nice idea.

[@pnutdolly]

Thank you!

[@betsy2668]

Omg I loveee this i have sooo been wanting to make a junk journal for a while now and the thought that I can use my happy planner to do this is simply amazing

[@pnutdolly]

Yes! Go for it!

[@stephaniebrand3472]

Thanks for showing this. I've always wondered how a junk journal would look in a Happy Planner. Now I'm going to add ot to my list of crafts to do. I hope you will continue to share the progress and inspiration.

[@pnutdolly]

Thank you! It's definitely a different look and feel. I'm used to the pages being sewn in to the book so they're very snug. This will definitely take some getting used to.

[@stephaniebrand3472]

@@pnutdolly Well I can't sew so this option will be perfect for me. LOL. Thank you again for sharing

[@pnutdolly]

It's definitely easier to just punch the pages than to sew them in.

[@user-on7zd8yi8g]

Wow, this is perfect! I love that you can arrange the pages anyway you want, thank you for posting, great idea!

[@pnutdolly]

Thank you! Yes, so customizable!

Right? We gotta recycle those old planners somehow. 😁

[@mamajo1515]

I just stumbled upon your channel, I love happy planners/all things planning but also, growing up I had a cat named Peanutty and I’ve never ever heard anyone else use that name before now! Just thought that was a cute little coincidence, it made my day 🥰

[@pnutdolly]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, when I was a kid my parents called me by my first and middle name, then Peanut Dolly. Sometimes I wouldn't answer unless they addressed me by the full title. 🤣 My older siblings brought the nickname back when I was in high school, but it's shortened version of "Peanutty." They still use it. My sister's kids even call me, "Aunt Peanutty." 💕

[@jenniferschooley5760]

What did you do with the planner guts?

[@pnutdolly]

A lot of the pages I cover with patterned paper or paint over, cover with maps, ephemera, etc.

[@lbferreira07]

Hii!! Where do you buy the magazines?

[@pnutdolly]

You can usually find them in Joann's and Barnes and Nobles. Check the link in the description for information about subscriptions.

[@queenbunnyfoofoo6112]

You can also find magazines to use in your junk journal in thrift shops. Also some libraries have a free magazine section.

[@yoisita1]

What do you do with the inserts?

[@pnutdolly]

So far I've used one for swatching ink pads, one to put washi samples on, and one to glue papers/ephemera to. Make sure to check out my junk journal playlist! 😁

[@specialk8927]

I don’t think I would want the word prejudice on my cover

[@pnutdolly]

That's true. I wasn't even thinking about each individual word, just that I like the book. Hmm.

[@queenbunnyfoofoo6112]

Pride and Prejudice is a novel by Jane Austin.....that's what the cover says.
