The Delight of the Stuffed Pocket: A Tiny Treasure Trove
If junk journaling had a secret weapon, it would be the stuffed pocket. More than just a folded piece of paper, this little creation is a magical mix of form and function—designed to hold snippets of your story, tiny works of art, or found treasures waiting to be discovered.
At its heart, a stuffed pocket is exactly what it sounds like: a pocket you attach to a journal page, then joyfully stuff with ephemera. Think vintage tickets, tea-stained tags, stamped mini envelopes, washi-taped scraps, or a folded love note from yesteryear. The joy is in the layers, textures, and delightful surprise of pulling out each piece.
They’re not just pretty—they’re practical. Use them to store journaling prompts, secret messages, or extra embellishments. You can make them from book pages, scrapbook paper, old maps, or even fabric—anything that folds and holds.
So go ahead: layer it, fill it, and let it spill over just a little. A stuffed pocket isn’t just part of your journal—it's a place for hiding treasures and the fuller the better.
Happy Crafting
