I am super excited to share a flip-through of my latest Halloween Junk Journal! This one was so fun to create!
I made this one big chunky journal! I created the journal by using an old book for the cover and then sewing the signatures in – there are over 100 pages in this journal!
Halloween Junk Journal Cover
The cover of the journal was made with just a few pieces of washi tape and some Scrapbook Alphabet stickers I’ve had for years and didn’t know what to do with. Spooky was the only word I had enough letters to spell out!
My favorite part about the cover though is definitely those googly eyes I glued in the center of the O’s.
I also absolutely love the spine on this journal! It’s made by tying ribbon, yarn, fabric, and mesh to the threads of the binding. I’ll have to do a tutorial on this soon!
Halloween Junk Journal Inside Pages
I had so much fun creating pages in this journal – I made sure to leave plenty of places for writing and lots of tuck spots and pockets!

I think it’s important to have lots of spaces for journaling in a journal!
Most of the pages were made from a mix of the ephemera in my printable Halloween junk journal kit along with washi tape, stickers, and magazine cut-outs.
I love this page with the girl in the fall – that image I actually scanned out of a Victorian scrapbook I recently aquired from 1882! I can’t wait to scan in more of those images!
I really love being able to scan artwork + then print it out to use in journals! You can use something more than once that way!
In the photo above, I took a picture of an owl I painted years ago and then printed it out. It’s so nice to be able to do that – the original was on a rather large canvas. I like being able to use my artwork without destroying the originals!
This journal was so much fun to make, and I hope it inspires you to create an absolutely Spooktastic journal for all of your Halloween memories!
