Shabby Chic Mini File Folder Junk Journals

Three shabby chic vintage file folders created in an afternoon! What a great time I had putting these little cuties together!

It all came together when I had a few hours open, but didn’t want to embark on a large project. I wanted something that was easy and would use up some of my paper scraps.

Since the mini 5×7″ file folders were a neutral creme and black color, I decided to continue with those colors. All of my papers were laid out and cut to relatively the same size when folded in half. Here are pictures of the three finished journals.

The interiors of each journal are very similar as you can see in the following pictures. Sometimes when I don’t think too much about the pages and their order, the finished result turns out the best.

Each of the mini journals has only one signature. Two holes were punched into the center of each page (roughly two inches apart) and secured with ribbon and bow.

I think I am going to give two to friends as gifts, and maybe keep one for myself.

Glitter on friends,
