Thank you for this demonstration. I love how you are showing your process, from start-to-finish: starting with looking at the kinds of paper and envelopes and bags and such; then showing the tea staining and drying. I am so grateful.
Thank for so generously sharing your process and also for showing us how you tea-dye paper. (I read in one of my gardening sites that the tea leaves are beneficial to plants, so I save the contents of the bags in a container and when I have enough, I work it into the soil around my flowering plants. I hope this info is useful to other gardeners.) I am looking forward to the rest of the work.
It is amazing how much stuff we collect I use to throw stuff away but now I look at it and think what I can make with it so I can’t seem to get rid of anything,love to watch what you make with it
Love the way you’ve done the cover, it’s so neat. Looking forward to seeing the whole process. Also thought that the way you used the scraps was great. I’m one of those who doesn’t like wasting even the cutoff pieces. Thanks Andrea.
What a real joy this was andera i love the tone on tones idea. I absolutely loved how you made your journal cover. What a great way to use up your scraps and using amazon paper and then layering. Thankyou so much for sharing all your tips its just amazing. Cant wait to see more andera xx
I’v thrown a lot of mine away just before Christmas, but no doubt I can find lots more, brilliant knowing you can make some thing out of all this junk mail TYFS Lynn X
I want to give you a great big THANK YOU for this video (and the future ones, I'm sure). I so appreciate you bing so detailed and I can't wait to try one of my own. I have so much 'stuff in the hutch' myself and this is the perfect way to use it. And I've never tea/coffee stained anything before so that's a big tip as well. I wouldn't even have know where to start without your help and this video. Can't wait to get started and watch the next one too. Again... THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Count me in! Late to watch but no problem, I'll never catch up, but I'll have fun trying😉. I've been missing the junkiness of making junk journals because I love the digi's, too, but my first love is the unexpected fun of reused stuff. Your timing is perfect for the new year for me. Love the piece you made for the cover so I will be searching that process out, too. Glad you're doing this series! Thanks, Gina C. In Texas, USA
Ooooh I like this idea. I'm joining in. I have loads of junk of toned papers and pages. That front piece for you cover (with butterfly) is beautiful and inside cover too. I really am intrigued by your cover and inside tucking in on sides...going to try. I like that this is only going to be one signature as well.
I've just started making this type of journal & coffee stain my paper. I put the papers I want to stain in my trash can & then pour my coffee over them. Pull them out and let them dry. I thought you might get a chuckle out of my staining method. I'll try to post a picture of my completed journal.
Oh thank you Andrea! You’ve answered so many of ?? I had with this type of journal!! I’m going to make one along with you! Amazon junk is everywhere here lol😆👍♥️
I love watching and listening to you craft. I have spent almost all day with you in various videos as I reorganize the leftover Christmas chaos and get my address book updated. You have inspired me so much.
Love your series of junk in the trunk or “how to”! So helps me getting into the creative mode with anything! Really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing!
It looks great allready I am so looking forward to the rest, thanks for all your great video's. A little tip if I may, if you tuck in the paper it wil lay flat easier if you cut a little strip of it at the sides. Love the papers you make with the "waste"strips I am going to do that for sure. Loving wishes Aya.
Love this making something from nothing project! Everyone has a house full of this stuff and it's great to get the creative juices flowing and use up some of your rainy day pile to come up with something beautiful! It's also very good therapy! 😊
First i want to wish you and your family in lovely Cornwall a great, creative and healthy 2020. You’ve starten with a project to my heart because i love to recycle too. Thank’s for showing us your proces of tea staining, love to try that on my junk mail. I love to watch this serie without using a digital kit. Have a Nice creative week. Greetings from the Netherlands Maia
I love that base paper that you made with all those strips of paper, looks like fun to do too 😁Looking forward to seeing how this latest Junk in the Trunk project goes 🌹
Told you I would watch this as soon as I settled for the evening.... this looks like fun.... I am currently working on a journal using vintage photos.... will attempt to leave SOME pages plain....❤️❤️❤️
I love this! So intrigued to see what you do next. I want to try making a cover like that and was wondering what to do with all my strips of plain paper- great ideas!
Awesome junk! :) going to be beautiful I am sure! :) tyfs! Seems to be the thing to do this Jan? Dear Juliejulie has challenges every month too. Her's this month is very similar. These are so fun to watch. :)
I just made a cover like this, even in the same tones, I can't believe it. And just for fun, I must say that you are an inking addict! You inked the cover envelope for...? Lol! I love it and you! Looking forward to this series. Hugs, Stacy
Rockin' Stacy thank you, yes I could of just inked the corners but I must admit nothing I do is pre-planned so mistakes are definitely made along the way lol. Xx
What color green Distress Ink would you pick to go with your fern & mushroom kit freebies?? Got a lil money to get some distress ink and cant wait to order the tea dye and want a pretty green to stencil some papera for my daughter's birthday nature/art journal....she keeps asking me for a jj..lol Thanks! Ive got boocoos of coffee stained papers cards envelopes scrapbook paper.... Now im going to try my hand with tea stained as i found several boxes of old cheapo tea bags cleaning at my moms. Thanks for going back over the tea stain again. I never got around to doing it with loose tea. And being a Southerner I am quite picky about the teabags i use for sweet tea....and buy the pitcher sized ones. Lol aint sacrificing them even for art!
@@artymaze Right on! I am gonna shoot for the moon and just BUY some pre made gesso when i put my dick blick order in. They sell distress ink cheaper than anybody here across the pond. Finally ran out of my homemade gesso from back in summer. I didnt know gesso from gelato and the consistency was HIGHLY variable as I had never really worked with any kind of paint. I used real talc from foot powder...having worked orthopedics for years i have an appreciation for what just a lil dab of plaster of paris can do to your drains.... But next time i make it, i am gonna use my electric hand mixer. Maybe it will get blended better. Plus I will have played with the REAL THING so i will have more of a feel for it ya know??? Thanks again....been taking care of my mama and been in wifi wasteland..aint been able to keep up with latest JITT. Journal looks lovely!! Wish i had a printer!!! PS I LOVE Lorrie Marie too!!! PSS i have NEVER in my life seen GREEN shabby shutters and i have seen LOTS of shabby shutters in my day lol! 👽
Im a Newbie too and it took me literally a full six months to understand why do you put a layer on just to cover it up with something else??? But I'm new to art as well!!
Love the tone on tone idea, will definitely be trying this one. Quick question. .....could I use kraft-tex instead of ty vec (don't know the spelling)..is there any advantages of ty vec?😕
janet wallington thank you, Kraft tex is a lot thicker, thin fabric would be better, Kraft tex as the whole cover would be good though. Tyvek is a very strong thin material which makes it ideal to reinforce spines x
William Hawthorne spraying or dipping doesn’t really matter it’s your journal and you must do what you like, I change all the time but mostly paint on like I did in the video as dipping for me needs to be baked in the oven and I have no oven in the studio lol there’s really no right or wrong way just play xx
I just put whatever i want to coffee stain in a pan that fits inside my toaster oven and pour my leftover coffee over it. When I think it is dark enough (or when I remember lol) i drain the coffee off and put in a sunny window. Then i pop pan into toaster oven till they are dry and crispy. Works for me since my oven doesnt work.... But even if it did I couldn't do one page at a time like just about everybody does! Physically I couldn't bend over taking pans in and out oven plus the amount of time that would take! Just adapted the process as Andrea said. No hard and fast rules!
What I love about working with junk is that it stimulates the creativity. You have to think outside the box. tfs. :)
I love watching you work, Andrea. I always learn so much. You are the reason I save junk mail envelopes!😂
I enjoy your junk in the trunk videos so much.
A sort of plain start to an exciting new journal. Very fun. I love the tone on tone. Thanks Andrea. Take care.
Wonderful! Looking forward to part 2! TFS! Kelly
It is so exciting to start a new project with you. I love your JUNK. Such talent.

I love your work and your word...play! Simply wonderful. 👍
What a great project to start at the beginning of the year! Thanks, Andrea 💜
The cover was just amazing so beautiful! I love the way you did it before you glued it! I was blown away.
Thank you for this demonstration. I love how you are showing your process, from start-to-finish: starting with looking at the kinds of paper and envelopes and bags and such; then showing the tea staining and drying. I am so grateful.

Great video! TFS 💚🕉️💛☮️💚🦋💜💙
I love watching these JITT series! Loved this one too! 😊💕
Told you I would watch this as soon as I settled for the evening.... this looks like fun.... I am currently working on a journal using vintage photos.... will attempt to leave SOME pages plain....❤️❤️❤️
Can’t wait to see whole series
I love this! So intrigued to see what you do next. I want to try making a cover like that and was wondering what to do with all my strips of plain paper- great ideas!
Thoroughly enjoyed this process today! Lots of inspiration, now I just need the time! Tfs🤗
I’m in on this. Here we go.
I’ve made a start and coffee dyed some papers, doilies and envelopes x
Awesome junk! :) going to be beautiful I am sure! :) tyfs!
Seems to be the thing to do this Jan? Dear Juliejulie has challenges every month too. Her's this month is very similar. These are so fun to watch. :)
I'm a new subbie as of this minute. Thought I already was. Oops!😉
I dry mine on the heater too. I thought I was the only one
I dry them in the window or the toaster oven....dont have a heater or an stove that works
Rachael at Roxy creations thought it was a hoot!
I just made a cover like this, even in the same tones, I can't believe it. And just for fun, I must say that you are an inking addict! You inked the cover envelope for...? Lol! I love it and you! Looking forward to this series. Hugs, Stacy
Rockin' Stacy thank you, yes I could of just inked the corners but I must admit nothing I do is pre-planned so mistakes are definitely made along the way lol. Xx
I was wondering what could you use if you do not have wallpaper? Awesome ideas!
judy greene thank you, just use some scrapbook paper medium weight, the tone was perfect that’s the only reason I used it x
I love this, how on earth do you think these things up tfs xx
What color green Distress Ink would you pick to go with your fern & mushroom kit freebies??
Got a lil money to get some distress ink and cant wait to order the tea dye and want a pretty green to stencil some papera for my daughter's birthday nature/art journal....she keeps asking me for a jj..lol
Thanks!
Ive got boocoos of coffee stained papers cards envelopes scrapbook paper....
Now im going to try my hand with tea stained as i found several boxes of old cheapo tea bags cleaning at my moms.
Thanks for going back over the tea stain again. I never got around to doing it with loose tea.
And being a Southerner I am quite picky about the teabags i use for sweet tea....and buy the pitcher sized ones. Lol aint sacrificing them even for art!
ImpalaMama shabby shutters is a very nice green which is good for most things and I checked today yes perfect x
@@artymaze Right on! I am gonna shoot for the moon and just BUY some pre made gesso when i put my dick blick order in. They sell distress ink cheaper than anybody here across the pond.
Finally ran out of my homemade gesso from back in summer. I didnt know gesso from gelato and the consistency was HIGHLY variable as I had never really worked with any kind of paint.

Thanks again....been taking care of my mama and been in wifi wasteland..aint been able to keep up with latest JITT.
Journal looks lovely!! Wish i had a printer!!!
PS I LOVE Lorrie Marie too!!!
PSS i have NEVER in my life seen GREEN shabby shutters and i have seen LOTS of shabby shutters in my day lol! 👽
Beautiful! One question: What's the purpose of inking the interior of the cover if it won't be seen? Newbie here!
Bridget Dean it was only the corners that needed inking really as you will see a bit of white, me being me just inks everywhere just in case lol x
Im a Newbie too and it took me literally a full six months to understand why do you put a layer on just to cover it up with something else??? But I'm new to art as well!!
Hello do you sell your journals and where do you have them listed?
Love the tone on tone idea, will definitely be trying this one. Quick question. .....could I use kraft-tex instead of ty vec (don't know the spelling)..is there any advantages of ty vec?😕
janet wallington thank you, Kraft tex is a lot thicker, thin fabric would be better, Kraft tex as the whole cover would be good though. Tyvek is a very strong thin material which makes it ideal to reinforce spines x
I don’t have wallpaper. What would be a good substitute ?
Laura Sitlington just use some scrapbook paper medium weight, the tone was perfect that’s the only reason I used it x
Do you spray or dip when staining? Wonder if you think just spraying gives good enough Finnish...Lizzie x
William Hawthorne spraying or dipping doesn’t really matter it’s your journal and you must do what you like, I change all the time but mostly paint on like I did in the video as dipping for me needs to be baked in the oven and I have no oven in the studio lol there’s really no right or wrong way just play xx
