August 22, 2025 Trying nature-themed crafts and junk journaling ideas 🌸 What actually works?
Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast with Daisy (@MyGreenCow) and Meg (@megjournals) 📖✨

In this episode, we put some of the internet’s most popular nature-inspired crafts to the test to see what *really* works! 👀

All of the creative projects we attempted are beginner-friendly DIYs. From pressed flowers and shadow drawing to eco dyeing and colour palettes, we’re chatting through the whole process of these sustainable art ideas. See what turned out well... and what was maybe not so Instagram-worthy!

We also dive into how we used these DIY nature crafts in our junk journals and share tips for making your pages memorable without spending a fortune. Grab a cuppa (though maybe not with boiled petals), get your supplies ready, and join us for this crafternoon!

Let us know if you have ideas for what we should try next :)

August 08, 2025 Are we REALLY junk journaling? A deep dive into craft trends & consumerism
Today’s episode is a bit of a hot topic in the journaling world… with junk journaling having her It Girl moment in 2025, what does this mean for a hobby rooted in rebellion and sustainability?
We chat about junk journaling supplies, how different trends and styles have evolved over the years, and our approach to documenting. We also discuss consumerism in the craft space and Meg flips through one of her first handmade journals!
Disclaimer: We are absolutely not here as 'journal police', your journal is yours! With the sudden rise in popularity of junk journaling, branded as a 'TikTok trend', we thought it would be an interesting discussion to chat about journaling trends over the years, including creative journaling, art journaling and scrapbooking.
We hope you enjoy joining us for this crafternoon!
