Unless your journal is something like a Moleskine then it most likely doesn’t have a pocket to hold ephemera. Ephemera pockets are a must for my own journaling practice so I add them to all my journals. My favorite way to do it is to use a manila envelope. Here’s how I do it:
Step One: Find your envelope.
Step two: Trim the flap and fold it in half.
Step Three: Cut to the fold and trim.
Step Four: Decorate. This is optional but I like my pockets to match the rest of the journal. Cut your decoration to be larger than the folded half of the envelope and glue it so that it overlaps the fold. This will reinforce the fold on the pocket so it lasts longer. Trim the excess.
Step Five: Glue into your journal. I glue mine on the inside back cover.
There you have it! Super easy and very practical addition to your journal.
