Journal Bestie Summer Camp

Journal Bestie Summer Camp is your excuse to go full goblin-mode with stickers, sparkle, and chaotic creativity—no apology, no perfectionism, just pure fun on the page.

On June 20, 2026, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, Make at Rosie transforms into a cozy, craft-filled camp for grown-up journal lovers and crafty chaos gremlins. If you’ve ever hoarded supplies “for the perfect spread someday,” this is your moment to actually use them—and add a few new handmade treasures to your collection.

Here’s what you’ll get up to with your inner journal bestie:

• Shrinky dink charm lab – Design and create your own shrinky dink charms to clip to your journal, dangle from your keys, or decorate your tote. Think doodles, mini inside jokes, and tiny versions of your favorite things.

• Nostalgic prize ribbons – Remember those over-the-top award ribbons from school carnivals? You’ll make playful, personalized versions for grown-up achievements like “Got Out of Bed,” “Did My Emails,” or “Didn’t Buy More Washi (Yet).”

• Bedazzled journal clips – Build sparkly, embellished clips to mark important pages, hold ephemera, or just add extra flair. Gems, shine, and maximalist energy very much encouraged.

• Big cozy journaling session – After crafting, settle in for an unhurried journaling hang where you can use all your new goodies: decorate spreads, write, collage, or memory-keep with your freshly made charms, ribbons, and clips.

All the supplies are handled for you, so you can walk in empty-handed and still leave completely decked out.

• Included materials:

  • Shrinky dink sheets, charms, and tools
  • Ribbon, trims, and embellishments for prize ribbons
  • Clips, gems, and all the sparkle your maximalist heart can handle
  • Plenty of general craft and journaling supplies to experiment with

You just bring yourself—and maybe your favorite journal if you already have one you love.

• Who it’s for:

  • Adults 18+ only
  • Beginner-friendly—no art background required
  • Perfect for journal lovers, sticker collectors, and crafty besties looking for a playful night out

The vibe is relaxed, social, and very “craft party with friends.” It’s an evening workshop, so you can roll in after your day, crack open your notebook, and sink into a few hours of creative play.

• Good to know:

  • 4:00 pm–8:00 pm camp-style workshop
  • BYOB: bring your favorite snacks and drinks to sip and snack while you craft
  • Hosted at Make at Rosie, a community-focused makerspace with air conditioning and a comfy, creativity-first atmosphere

You’ll head home with:

• Custom shrinky dink charms
• Nostalgic prize ribbons celebrating your most “you” achievements
• Bedazzled journal clips ready to glam up your pages
• Journal spreads filled with memories from camp—and probably a few new friends who also obsess over pens, paper, and stickers

If your idea of a perfect evening is glitter, laughter, and pages full of colorful chaos, Journal Bestie Summer Camp is your summer highlight in the making. Grab a spot, bring your bestie energy, and get ready to make something unapologetically cute.
