Join crafting guru and founding member of Austin Craft Mafia, Jen Perkins in making junk journals from paper and ephemera you already have. Jen will walk you through the steps from making a fabric cover, creating a signature and a basic bookbinding stitch all the while making you laugh with her crafty insights and Jen-isms. Best yet, junk jounrnaling gives you some of the tools of bookbinding with the freedom of imperfection and a "just go with it" approach to bookmaking. This is a fun and freeing project for crafters of all ages.

I wanted to watch this and like the teacher but I really wish the screen with the demonstration could be full screen. It was hard to see. Maybe put the teacher in the corner as a small image or just in the beginning before the demo starts.
