52 Weeks of Art Journals - Jigsaw Art Journal

Posted on the 06 July 2021 by Realityarts @realityarts

What can you do with a milk carton - make an art journal from it of course. Check out the video I share how I made it. Here are some close ups of some of the detail.

Stitching and buttons are on the front alongside some doodling. I experimented with some of the stitching and added French knots, back stitch and had fun with some faux stitches by adding the white lines with the acrylic pens.

I embossed the large jigsaw puzzle piece and pressed a stamp, then added a rub on to it.

It was great fun to make and a way to recycle the milk cartons.

I included 3 different areas to write so I could vary the activity in the art journal. Let me know how you create your art journals and if you use any recycled materials.
