A writing board is a flat, sturdy surface inserted beneath a journal page to provide a smooth and stable writing area. It is particularly useful in junk journaling, where layers of embellishments or bulky elements can make it difficult to write on individual pages. Writing boards are often customized to match the journal’s theme or design.
Techniques
- Construction:
- Use chipboard, heavy cardstock, or plastic as the base material.
- Cut the board to slightly smaller than the journal page size for easy insertion.
- Decoration:
- Cover with patterned paper, fabric, or paint to match the journal’s aesthetic.
- Add laminated or sealed surfaces for durability.
- Customization:
- Include a tab, handle, or ribbon tab for easy removal.
- Personalize with stamping, inking, or layered embellishments.
- Dual Use: Use the back side of the board for notes, measurements, or as a storage pocket.
Use in Junk Journaling
- Writing Aid: Ensures smooth and even handwriting on layered or textured pages.
- Reusable Accessory: Easily moved from page to page as needed.
- Decorative Element: Can double as a decorative insert when not in use.
