Hey Goblins, uh

Did you know, that you can make an AWESOME journal for your adventures ALL ON YOUR OWN from a cereal box and paper/scraps that you likely have at home/can get from friends or family/you may find around your environment?

They’re called Junk Journals and they’re my entire life.

Im gonna do my best to walk you through how to make one! First, get you a mini cereal box! I use boxes from those cool multipacks of cereal that you can find at Walmart!

And then cut it out so it looks like this! (I already had one cut, so I’m gonna use that)

That “nutrition facts” side is gone become your spine!

Next, find some paper to use to decorate your cover! I was lucky enough to be gifted a bunch of scrapbooking paper, so I’m gonna use that, but you can also use newspaper, paper from books/magazines, junk mail, napkins, paper towels (excellent texture), etc!

Go ahead and glue that paper to your box (to cover the cereal logo) and cut it out! It’ll look like this;

Next you need to find your pages! Again these can be anything! Junk mail, envelopes, receipts, food wrappers, magazine/book pages, scrapbook paper, computer paper, construction paper, ANYTHING. Just grab a whole bunch!

You’re gonna want to fold them in half and cut them to the size of one of the covers of your box, and layer other pages inside of it to make your signatures, like this!

Each signature should be about 7-10 pages. You don’t want them too thick, otherwise the inner pages start sticking out when folded in half. You’re gonna have a LOT of these signatures, as you wanna fill the area in the spine as best as possible. For this one I’m using 7 page signatures. Here’s a pic to show just how much paper you’ll need

Each of these signatures are 7 pages, 6 signatures have only filled about half of the spine, so I’ll need probably 6 more.

Next you gotta figure out how you want them in your journal. Personally, I like to sew them into the spine, but you can also keep them in the spine with rubber bands, so you can have removable pages! (Be weary that rubber bands may break over time! So you may want to always keep extra bands near it to replace in case one snaps. This is why I prefer sewing them in) I find it best to look up on YouTube how to sew in signatures, just because having someone walk you through it where you can see what they’re doing is easiest. If you can’t access YouTube, there’s plenty of text tutorials on how to sew in signatures online, or you can message me! I’m not gonna go too into detail, but here’s the jist;

Okay so I’m a forgetful gob and I hecken forgot to take pictures as I was going along kahshshshsh

But essentially, I sewed in the pattern similar to the one I drew. The dots are where the needle goes all the way through to the back. I also like to use rubber band as an extra mode of support but you can do one or the other. I also like both cuz I can tuck stuff in em between the pages. Since I didn’t take more pictures; I’d really recommend looking up a how-to on YouTube or w/e if my badly drawn diagram isn’t clear enough (heh sorry about that)

Next, I glue fabric to the spine. It spruces it up quite a lot and holds the rubber bands in place, plus it give more support to the spine since there’s gonna be a lot of strain on it.

Only 10 photos per post, so I gotta post this and reblog it with the rest.

Garden claws! Very useful both for digging and for Black Panther impressions!

Ok but that thing when you start camping with your Pokemon and they’re right up in your face at the start because they love you so much

Eternatus’ face never changes but I assume he was smiling too XD

OMG THEY KILLED CURSTALE! Those bastards!

That happened today. And I know that already some people are wondering “what the heck.” So here is an important update and I’d really be grateful if you can spread this!

@cursetale tumblr has been terminated and Cursetale & I still don’t know why it happened. We also completly don’t know if it gonna be reactived or not. So, just in case, Cursetale is moving to deviantart (@cutthroat-jutsu).  They likely gonna get more involved there now, in case tumblr decides to do this again in the future. I think you can understand why they can’t pull full trust in tumblr after this.  > [ HERE THEIR ACCOUNT TO WATCH ] <

I count on your for spreading the word, guys. >u<

Here you go, I had this in mind for a while since people keep asking question about Koh. Spirit totem are supposed to represent you, which is why they came in many shapes and color. Koh is just one among many. The choice you take for the design must mean something to you. It can be related to your personality in general, desires that you want to achieves or event that marked you.

Spirit totems are growing at your side acquiring all your traits. Koh is a moth wearing a bird mask but they can take any sort of animal shapes, mixing it into a strange hybridization that is proper to you and them.

RULES

Only one by person.

Don’t make a Koh2.0 you need to be original.

Totem are anything that have a signification to you, Spirit Totem are an amalgamation of thing that represent you and yourself only.

No more then one mask.

This species is a concept, a persona, do not use it for stories.

Rp are allowed but keep in mind that they have YOUR personality.

They’re asexuate, which means, they don’t have a gender despite reflecting you. They don’t need to reproduce. They can refer as she and he however.

How to design it ? 

It must represent yourself, your personality, your flaw, your qualities.

Only YOU know how to design it. It’s based on you.

For design inspiration, look up at your own culture, Spirit Totem aren’t native american ! Example: you’re Egyptian, how about inspire yourself of the hieroglyph ? Or the scupture you can find ? You come from Ireland ? How about those amazing celtic pattern ?

Go toward things that you like and your own aesthetic preference.

It doesn’t have to be an animal ! It can be inspire of objects and plants, literally anything ! 

Use symbolism, what does certain things mean to you ? Use those elements to tell a story with them !

If you plan on making one of your own, feel free to sent it to me, I’m curious to what you will come up with.
