Table of Contents
A bunny junk journal gives you a whole spring garden to fill with soft little rabbits nibbling carrots, napping in flowers and peeking out of baskets. This kit has 22 scene pages full of these small moments, 5 seamless background papers, and 5 lined writing pages, so you can build covers, pockets and diary spreads without hunting for extra paper.
Print everything on matte cardstock heavy enough to take glue without curling, set your printer to its best photo or highest quality setting, and trim the pages to your journal size before you start gluing anything in.
Using these images: free for personal projects such as printing, coloring, cards, journals and gifts. Handmade items that include them may be sold up to 30 pieces per design. More than that is commercial use and is not permitted, and neither is selling or sharing the images themselves or passing them off as your own. Please ask before any other use.
Vegetable Garden Bunnies
Tuck a real seed packet or a hand-written planting list onto this page, something small enough to sit beside the watering can without covering the bunny.
Pair this page with the gingham background a few sheets along: trim a narrow strip of the gingham paper and glue it as a border under the wheelbarrow, so the two pages feel like one garden stall.
The straw hat gives you a natural spot for a tiny tag or label if you want to date the entry.
A bunny sitting among ripe strawberries with its own little basket makes a cheerful corner for a short summer memory or a jam recipe copied out by hand.
The usual mistake with a two-animal page is leaving one bunny looking like an afterthought: keep both rabbits close together sharing the lettuce leaf so the eye reads them as one moment, not two separate drawings.
Meadow and Field Bunnies
Give this page to the quietest person receiving your journal as a gift, the one who likes small still things more than big gestures.
Ask a short question on this one: what is something you wished for lately. A dandelion puff gives you a natural prompt to write around.
Place this page in a spread beside the dandelion meadow before it: let the lavender border run toward the edge of the page so the two scenes feel connected across the spine of the journal.
The five-minute version: cut around just the bunny and the nearest poppies, and glue the smaller piece onto a plain background page instead of using the full sheet.
A bunny settled among bluebells in a quiet woodland clearing suits a reflective entry, the kind of page where you write slowly rather than list things quickly.
Twenty-five words is plenty for a quiet pair like this: a rabbit and a wren sit together on a mossy log, tiny ferns curling up around their feet in a damp woodland corner.
Basket and Burrow Bunnies
A baby bunny peeking out of a wicker basket of tulips works well as a cover piece: it reads clearly even shrunk down, which matters if you are cutting it out for a journal front.
Write a short family memory here, or leave the space for someone else’s name if this journal is a gift: the burrow entrance under old tree roots gives the page a settled, homely feel that suits either use.
Keep the entry short if you are unsure what to say, the picture is doing most of the work.
Tear the edge of this page by hand before gluing it in, rather than cutting it straight: a torn edge suits the softness of a straw nest far better than a crisp line.
A bunny curled inside an old garden boot with a sprig of clover tucked beside it makes a cosy, slightly comic corner for a page about small comforts.
Pair this page with gentle rain written into the entry: what you do on a slow, wet afternoon, or a memory that happened during a spring shower.
Cottage and Tea Table Bunnies
Fussy-cut just the teacup and bunny from this page if you want a smaller embellishment for a different spread: the lace doily beneath it gives a clean edge to cut along.
A bunny sniffing a pot of pink geraniums on an old garden bench gives you a calm, simple scene for a page where the writing matters more than the picture.
Keep a bunny resting on a quilt in a sunny cottage window near the front of your journal, it reads as a kind of welcome page before the garden scenes properly begin.
A lop-eared rabbit sitting at a garden table with a teapot and a small plate of cupcakes suits an entry about a visit, a celebration, or simply a nice afternoon.
Spring Celebration Bunnies
Napping under a blooming cherry tree on soft grass, this rabbit suits a page about rest, written with as few words as the picture itself needs.
Glue a pressed flower or a dried petal onto this page once it is printed: a bunny peeking from behind a watering can full of daffodils gives a natural spot to tuck something real beside the painted ones.
This page suits anyone who loves a seasonal page more than a daily one: a bunny with a ribbon around its neck sits beside a basket of painted eggs, ready for a note about a spring gathering.
If you keep a separate Easter junk journal, this page fits there just as well.
Background Papers
For a second page on spring showers and rest, borrow a layout idea from the broader spring junk journal set: a plain weather scene opposite a close, cosy one reads well across a spread.
Line the inside cover with this soft all-over pattern of tiny hopping bunnies and clover, use it as a pocket lining behind a flap, or back a photo with it for a quiet frame.
Use this mint green pattern of carrots and fluffy bunny tails behind a garden photo, as the base of a pocket page, or folded into a small envelope for seed packets or notes.
This soft all-over paper of pastel bunnies and daisies works well as a journal cover base, a pocket lining, or cut into strips for borders around other pages.
Try this cream background behind a black and white photo for contrast, as the inside of a gatefold, or as the base layer under a lined page for extra texture.
Lined Writing Pages
A classic gingham check scattered with tiny bunny faces suits a picnic page, a pocket lining, or a simple cover wrap for the whole journal.
Write a kitchen garden list here, a few lines about this year’s planting, or a short note to next spring’s version of yourself tending the same patch.
Use the open space for a gift list, a short letter to a friend, or a few quick notes from an afternoon in the garden.
This page suits a menu for a spring lunch, a short letter to next year, or a simple list of things you noticed outside today.
Keep this one for a short, personal entry: a wish, a memory, or a note tucked in for whoever reads the journal next.

Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for a bunny junk journal?
Matte cardstock around 90 to 110lb works best, since it takes glue and watercolor touch-ups without curling or buckling. Thinner paper wrinkles when glued and lets ink show through from the next page.
What printer settings give the best colour?
Set your printer to its highest quality or photo setting on matte or cardstock paper mode, which keeps the soft pastel washes clean rather than streaky. Standard or draft settings often wash out the lighter colours.
What size should I print these pages?
Standard letter or A4 size suits most junk journals and lets you trim down to whatever cover size you are using. Print a test page first to check your trim marks before running the full set.
Can I color or shade the pages further by hand?
Yes, colored pencils or watercolor pencils work well over the printed washes for extra shading or highlights. Keep strokes light so the original fine ink outlines stay visible underneath.
What glue works best for assembling the pages?
A fine tip glue pen gives the most control for edges and small details without wrinkling the paper. Glue sticks work for larger flat areas but dry faster, so work in small sections.
