Junk Journal Meetup Tailgate Edition October 11, 2025

Get ready for the ultimate crafty kickoff! Join us on Saturday, October 11, 2025, for a football-themed junk journal meetup inspired by the OU/Texas game. Whether you’re cheering crimson and cream, burnt orange, or just here for the fun, this event blends crafting, community, and gameday spirit.

What we’ll do:

• Build Your Journal Base: Start with a sturdy cover and learn easy binding techniques
• Add Pockets & Tip-Ins: Create secret flips, tuck spots, and side-loading pockets perfect for tickets, recipes, or memories.
• Make a Shaker Page: Use acetate, sequins, and ephemera to build a festive interactive page.
• Decorate with Flair: Embellish with OU/Texas-inspired papers, ribbons, stickers, and die-cuts—or go neutral with vintage football vibes.
• Tailgate Touches: Include recipe cards, journaling spots, and tags to capture your favorite snacks and gameday memories.
• Community Crafting: Swap ephemera with other participants, enjoy snacks from the shared tailgate potluck, and cheer while the OU/Texas game streams live during the event.

By the end of the meetup, you’ll walk away with a chunky, personalized junk journal full of fun pages, and a ton of new ideas you can keep building on long after the game is over.

No experience required — beginners and seasoned journal makers welcome. All tools provided, and kits are available starting at $20.
