Junk Journal Charms & Dangles Made from Scraps Tutorial Ideas Inspiration Tips Tricks Up-cycle

Check out these awesome junk journal jewelry pieces made from leftovers and scraps. I have a full tutorial for making a charm dangle with scraps of chipboard, papers and more. This video is full of tips, tricks, and plenty of inspiration with over 100 charms featured at the end with lots of suggestions and ideas for various ways to make them. Many have a vintage look that works well in junk journals. I used Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Crowded Attic Stickers for the back side of many of the charms.

Some suggested supplies: scrap chipboard, cardboard, papers, napkins, stickers, words, die cuts, snippets, etc.
For the bead dangles: pliers, cutters, jump rings, beads or some old jewelry to take apart.
To attach you can use: lobster clasps, bulb pins, safety pins, paper clips, ball chain, key rings and more.
