Quick Friday Makes #2 - Shabby Chic Window Pocket from Junk Mail Envelope
Today’s Quick Friday Make is a soft and shabby little treasure created from something we would normally throw away… a simple junk mail envelope.
With a bit of coffee staining, layering, and thoughtful details, this piece becomes a beautiful and functional addition to your journals.
This ephemera features:
• A windowed pocket on the back holding two journal cards
• A front flap pocket with an additional card
• A fold-out writing space tucked inside
• Soft, shabby chic textures with a slightly grungy, timeworn feel
This project came together in a calm, exploratory way—allowing the piece to guide the design rather than forcing it into something structured.
If you enjoy transforming everyday materials into meaningful journal elements, this is a lovely one to create alongside me.
Perfect for:
• Junk journals
• Memory keeping
• Tuck spots and interactive pages
• Using up scraps and repurposed materials
Thank you for spending this creative time with me 🤎
