Hello everyone!  I hope you are doing well.  

It's time to roll out the festive Christmas crafts! Today I created some cute little Christmas junk journal clusters. I created these darling little junk journal clusters using junk journal printables from my shop, Calico Collage. These junk journal clusters feature my newest junk journal printable, Christmas Doors. I love how simple these are to make, so let's dive right in to this tutorial on how to make Christmas junk journal clusters.

How to Make Christmas Junk Journal Clusters. 

Here is what I used to create these cute little Christmas junk journal clusters.

Christmas Doors Junk Journal Printables (I printed out the next to smallest size)
Fussy Cut Christmas Ephemera Labels Junk Journal Printables
Christmas Holiday Sheet Music Junk Journal Printables
Lace
Tea bag envelope
Distress Ink in Antique Linen
Tattered Angel's Glitter Mist in Dazzling Diamonds
Glue (Aleene's Tacky Glue)

I printed the Christmas Doors and Christmas Labels junk journal printable on 65lb (176gsm) cardstock.  The sheet of Christmas Holiday Sheet Music I printed on 24lb (90gsm) paper.

I then fussy cut the Christmas doors and Christmas ephemera labels and then gathered scrap papers, tea bags, and lace.

Once I had everything I needed, I arranged my clusters on the Christmas Holiday Sheet Music as I wanted and then glued them down to the Christmas Holiday Sheet Music.

I let the clusters completely dry.  I placed a few heavy books on the clusters to ensure that they dried flat.

I ripped them apart once they were dry.  I did this sloppily to add to the vintage look.  Then ripped them a little more to make them smaller.  When you do this, it is up to you how much of the back paper you want showing.

I then inked the edges with the Distress Ink.

Then I sprayed them lightly with Tattered Angels. A small amount goes a long way! I think the hint of glitter makes them really stand out.

And there you have it! That is how I created these cute little Christmas junk journal clusters.
