Charlotte Hall Library

Meeting Room

Make something beautiful out of random supplies, found items, and little trinkets you love!

Hard cover fiction & picture books will be available to serve as journal bases, with a small selection of fabric and felt to cover them front & back. Learn a simple way to bind pages inside them using elastic string. We will also explore simple techniques to texture the pages.

There will be a selection of "junk" and upcycled items to sift through as you get your journal started, but we highly encourage you to bring your own journal base (any notebook or old hardcover will do!), papers you may want to incorporate, & any "junk" you may want to use to get started. Think: labels/logos, scraps of letters/paper, stickers, images, bits of fabric, receipts, letters, maps, ribbons, little envelopes, buttons, etc.

Registration encouraged. Walk-ins welcome as space and supplies allow.
