Junk Journaling with Paper Canopy

Finally do something creative with all the little mementos you've been storing up!

Join The Paper Canopy at Mercantile & Mash for a creative, modern take on scrapbooking! In this beginner-friendly 1.5-hour workshop, we’ll explore the endless possibilities of junk journaling — where everyday papers and found treasures become something beautifully personal.

You’ll learn how to:

• Create a simple junk journal from scratch
• Layer papers, textures, and ephemera with confidence
• Design two colorful, personalized spreads you’ll love flipping through

This class is perfect for anyone who saves ticket stubs, postcards, packaging, maps, magazine clippings, or little bits collected on travels and throughout the week. If you’ve ever thought, “I should do something with this,” this is your moment.

No experience needed — just come ready to cut, glue, layer, and play. We’ll guide you step-by-step and provide everything you need.

You’ll leave with a finished journal, new creative skills, and fresh inspiration to keep gathering and creating long after class ends.
