Essential Junk Journal Tools

I use these items regularly, over and over again, on a nearly daily basis for making and working in junk journals.

Tim Holtz Ink Dauber

Fiskars Paper Trimmer

Crop-a-Dile Big Bite

For punching holes and setting eyelets

Crop-a-Dile Small Bite

For punching holes and setting eyelets. Unless you’re super into making junk journals, either this or the Big Bite will work fine; you don’t need both.
