Old books lying around are great to re-use for collages and art journals. Find your creative side and imagine what kind pictures and designs you want to make inside!

The only things you need are an old book, scrap materials that can be found around the house, and art supplies such as scissors and a glue stick.

Instead of throwing away magazines or newspapers, save them to cut out shapes. Add color with markers or paint. Throw in some glitter or stickers!

Here are some ideas for journal entries:

Make a collage of your daydreams or what you dreamed last night.

Use pictures to record what you did today.

Illustrate your favorite poem.

Make up your own story and turn your art journal into a storybook.

What will YOU put in your art journal?
