Once a Month Nature Journal Project
Collections – From the Archives
Looking back through my nature journals, I enjoy seeing little bits and bobs that I’ve collected during my outdoor adventures. I don’t often include natural items like flowers, leaves, or seeds on my pages, but they do create pages that are wonderful reminders of our adventures and discoveries.
Special note: I’ve often used transparent tape to seal an object onto a nature journal page. If you use tape that doesn’t yellow, it actually works quite well and stays in place for a period of time.
Nature Journal Page Ideas:
- Collect something to adhere directly to the page like a leaf, needle, seed, or flower.
- Press an item in a flower press and then adhere that to your page. Here is a video I created with instructions: How to Make a Plant Press.
- Create an envelope to hold an item from your nature walk.
- Create a pocket to hold an item.
- Laminate an item.
- Preserve an item in wax paper to adhere to your page. See this entry for instruction: How to Make a Waxed Paper Pouch.
