Welcome to the Little Things Journal

This 100-day project began with a journal made from paper bags, gift bags, and binder rings. Each prompt is an invitation to make one small thing and enjoy the process. Start whenever you like, use the supplies you have, and go at your own pace. The prompts and free printables are here for you whenever you’re ready.

How to Get Started

Start with any journal you like. I made mine from paper bags and gift bags, held together with binder rings, but you’re welcome to use what you already have. Pick a prompt, make a page or a little piece of ephemera, and come back whenever you’re ready for the next one.

A Few Questions Before You Begin

Can I start the project now?

Absolutely. The original 100 days have finished, but the prompts and printables are here for you to use whenever you’re ready.
Do I have to make something every day?

Nope. Skip days, combine prompts, or take a break. This is your journal, and you can make it at your own pace.
Do I need to make a paper bag journal?

Not at all. I made mine with paper bags, gift bags, and binder rings, but you can use any journal or supplies you already have.
Are the project printables free?

Yes! The project download bundle costs $0. Shopify will ask you to complete a free checkout, then send the download links to your email.
Do I need to buy Britt Create Stuff products?

No. Use whatever papers, scraps, and supplies you love.
Do I have to share my pages?

Only if you want to. You’re welcome to share with our community, but making quietly for yourself is just as lovely.
