3. Glue or Tape. Depending on how you’d like to attach your paper to your journal, a simple binding material like glue or tape will be required. Sometimes liquid glue can leave your paper looking a bit wrinkled or warped, so be careful on the amount you use. Using a brush to spread the glue out in a thin layer helps avoid those problems. Glue sticks are also super convenient! Here’s some from Amazon that will work well for your first ephemera junk journal! Be sure to purchase a good amount so you don’t run out mid journaling!

If you’d rather go the tape route, Washi Tape is a fun way to add some color and texture to your journal. This tape comes in a variety of colors!
