In today’s post I am sharing a window I made in my newest junk journal that is going to house my paper doll. I grabbed some magazine pages and tore them into strips to make what looked like wallpaper. Then I took some corrugated cardboard and cut it into strips to make the window frame. If you are going to do a scene behind it you may want to wait to glue these down until after you create the scene but as I was figuring things out as I went I didn’t do that.
You also would want to paint the cardboard strips first before gluing them down.
I had picked out a fun sketch to use as the view from my window and adhered that with another piece that looked like sky. I used matte Mod Podge to glue and seal everything down. Then you can glue the cardboard frame to make the window. I used Tackly Glue for this and it worked great.
I then cut some pieces for the criss cross of the window and glued them with the tacky glue. I finally added some scrap fabric to make some rustic curtains and there was my junk journal window with a view.
In my next video I am going to make our girl (who needs a name still) some clothes and I am pretty sure she will need a closet to hold them in-what do you think?
Until next time…
