Welcome back to the Crafternoon Podcast with Daisy (@MyGreenCow) and Meg (@megjournals) 📖✨In this episode, we put some of the internet’s most popular nature-inspired crafts to the test to see what *really* works! 👀 All of the creative projects we attempted are beginner-friendly DIYs. From pressed flowers and shadow drawing to eco dyeing and colour palettes, we’re chatting through the whole process of these sustainable art ideas. See what turned out well... and what was maybe not so Instagram-worthy! We also dive into how we used these DIY nature crafts in our junk journals and share tips for making your pages memorable without spending a fortune. Grab a cuppa (though maybe not with boiled petals), get your supplies ready, and join us for this crafternoon!Let us know if you have ideas for what we should try next :)Daisy's handmade flower press: https://www.mygreencow.co.uk/products/mini-flower-press-kitPinterest board: https://pin.it/381EGVeOl🗓️ New episodes drop every other Friday.

Today’s episode is a bit of a hot topic in the journaling world… with junk journaling having her It Girl moment in 2025, what does this mean for a hobby rooted in rebellion and sustainability?
