Creating Art Tags for Your Art Journal

Play Along Journal Series Week 8 Part 2

 
 
 

For me, one of the biggest perks to working in a handmade journal or creating your own handmade journals is you can make all the pages different sizes. You get such a fun, organic feeling to your pages that they don't all have to be uniform and the same.

I'll let you in on a little secret: these art tags I’m adding to these journals add a touch of creativity to my pages and serve as convenient placeholders or little works of art in themselves.

I’m always moving a tag from one page to another because the colors don’t quite mesh. This is a perfect example of how art journals allow us to change our minds and experiment freely.
