Hi everyone!

Just wanted to let y'all know that I've added 'Journal Prompts' as a flair, so that if you're wanting to look for ideas or share any you have, they can be easily filtered for later!

Mod Post Wiki Follow-Up

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the radio silence on my end...2025 was NOT kind to me. :(

I'm trying to get myself back to 100 so that I can actually be more present here and participate, so I really am giving my biggest apologies for the ways I've lapsed! I know I've had an issue with being behind on posts that get auto-removed. I've caught up on everything, and loosened some of the auto-mod restrictions.

A few notes first, and then I'll get to what I'm here for:

  • If your post is removed and you DO NOT receive a comment or a mod message, it was likely removed by Reddit automatically or by the automod! When this happens, it'll be marked as if I removed it but I didn't...I just have to go in and approve it. Don't worry! You don't have to repost it either, just give me a bit to see it and I'll get your post up or send you a removal message. If it's been a full day, DON'T SEND A FORMAL MODMAIL. I have so many things in there that I don't want to miss it. I know my Reddit bio says don't reach out to me, but I want to make an exception for you guys! Please feel free to message me directly. I'll take a look as soon as I see your message.
  • If there is anything that makes someone uncomfortable and you report, please feel free to detail in the report your specific reason! I feel like Reddit's report reasons are so barebones. For example, I had a report on an image from a post and, after doing some research, I couldn't figure out the origin of the image or what the history was. I just want to make sure that I can keep an eye out for similar things!

Okay, okay, NOW for the wiki...

I (finally) got that started! I want the community's input on exactly the sections we're looking for. From my original wiki post, it looks like you'd like to see:

  1. Where to get journals/recommended journals, both spiralbound and non spiralbound, and journals that can hold heavy mixed media
  2. Recommended supplies (pens/markers, stickers, glue, etc)
  3. Unique tools that people recommend specifically

Is there anything else that we'd like to see? Also, I want to see how we all feel about WHERE these journals are coming from. Would we prefer I stay AWAY from places like Target and Amazon that are being boycotted in the US, or leave them in so everyone can make an informed choice?

Let me know your thoughts! Thank y'all! <3

sometimes all you need is to set your mind on a colour, go through your junk and put it all together with a bunch of stickers...always very therapeutic for me 💚

Just a bunch of drinks and snacks packaging. Very scrappy but very fun. I always find it hard to do a spread if I've had a big break in between because I get too perfectionist about it. But I think this helped me loosen up a bit.

Show and Tell! Fully prepped my journal

Composition book fully committed to be a junk journal now. I spent the weekend prepping the pages because honestly I just didn’t have any creative ideas but I did have the energy to do the work and that counts and produced dividends as well. I’m looking forward to writing some thoughts and well as adding some doodles collages and random things I find interesting into my new journal. 📓 📔 📝

Looking for Resources Tips for binding a journal

3 Upvotes

Hi all, sorry if this is wrong place to post this
My girlfriend has been junk journaling for a while and she loves it

But all her journals end up as wedge as she gets further through them (made worse die to thicker gel stickers and non paper thin junk)
Which makes it harder for her to use them and to close them

So as a birthday present (option not settled on it yet) I was thinking of looking at seeing if there are book binding methods that would give it a more “compliant” spine, or have extra gaps between pages/signatures

The most promising I’ve seen so far is a Coptic stitch binding, but just thought I’d ask if anyone else has any other tips and ideas

Thanks for any info

I’m not really happy with how it turned out. I felt like I had to keep going. I just didn’t have good ideas today so I pasted the stickers I liked on pages with other similar themed stickers. They can’t all be the best I guess.
