Table of Contents
This christmas market junk journal kit brings the whole square home: wooden stalls strung with pine garlands, mulled wine steaming on the counter, gingerbread hearts swinging on their ribbons. There are 20 scene pages for the stalls and the crowd, 4 seamless background papers for stripes and straw stars, and 4 lined writing pages for the notes you want to keep from the evening.
Print the set on matte cardstock heavy enough to take glue without curling, run your printer on its best photo or high quality setting, and trim close to the edge before you tuck pages into your journal.
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.
Stalls and Crafts
Wooden market stall piled with carved ornaments, straw stars and pine garlands draped along the counter, set against a painted row of timbered houses under a soft evening sky.
Tuck a ribbon or a small paper gingerbread cutout onto this page, right beside the hanging hearts, so the page keeps a piece of the stall along with the memory.
A striped awning shelters the counter, with icing piped hearts swinging on ribbons and a small stack of wrapped parcels tucked to one side for scale.
Food and Drink Stalls
Pair this page with the mulled wine mug and orange slice background: lay the mug page on the left and let the pattern run across the facing page as a border of the same little motifs.
Steam curling off a copper pan of roasted almonds, paper cones stacked beside the cart and a market crowd softened into the background behind the vendor.
The usual mistake here is cramming the whole square onto one small page: let the carousel sit at an angle instead, with the tree and houses behind it rather than squeezed beside it.
A tall decorated tree rises past the timbered rooftops, with strings of lanterns linking the carousel to the stalls at its edge.
Stalls and Crafts
Carved nutcrackers stand guard over a row of wooden smoker figures and little painted angels, all lined up on a crowded craft table.
Good spot for anyone drawn to warm candlelight: give this page to the reader in your gift journal who always lights candles the moment winter starts.
A carved candle arch glows beside a turning wooden pyramid, both set on a craft table scattered with pine offcuts and a half finished carving.
Wheels of cheese stacked beside fat pretzels and crusty loaves, with pine sprigs tucked along the counter edge for a market that smells of fresh bread.
Give this five minutes: trace a single mitten in the corner before you leave, then come back later to finish the whole stall once the ink has dried.
Wool mittens and scarves hang from wooden pegs beside a basket of felt slippers, with a hand knit blanket draped over the counter front.
Light snow settles over a half timbered town square, where market stalls circle a worn stone fountain under strings of warm lantern light.
Write a short wish list of ornaments you would choose this year, or a line about the one glass bauble from childhood that still hangs on your own tree.
Food and Drink Stalls
A dusted stollen loaf rests on a wooden board beside small discs of marzipan and a scatter of whole almonds, ready for slicing.
Tear the edge of this page roughly before gluing it in, so the warmth of the scene gets a softer, handmade border rather than a crisp factory edge.
A couple shares two mugs of hot chocolate beside a stall stacked with beeswax candles, their glow adding a second light source across the page.
Little wooden trains line up beside spinning tops and tin wind up toys, all crowded onto a narrow counter under a string of paper lanterns.
Ask a quick question on this page: what did you eat first at the last market you visited, and would you choose the same thing again.
Small carved nativity figures rest in a bed of moss, lit by tiny lanterns set along the edge of a quiet corner stall.
Pair this with the mulled wine and orange slice background paper to line a pocket, then slide a dried orange slice or a cinnamon stick photo inside for texture.
Garlands of dried orange slices hang beside bundled cinnamon sticks and small linen spice sachets, their scent almost reaching off the page.
Square and Streets
A bundled up child holds a paper bag of roasted chestnuts beside a lantern lit stall, the warm light catching the steam rising from the bag.
Place this beside the timbered market hut pattern paper in your spread: let the snow on the roof continue visually into the repeat on the facing page.
A single wooden hut roof sits under a thick layer of snow, fir branches and small star lanterns weighing down its edge.
A tall decorated Christmas tree stands before a gothic town hall facade, pigeons scattered across the cobbles as market lights glow along the square.
Background Papers
Straw stars tied with red ribbon repeat edge to edge in this pattern, ready to back a photo of the market lights, line a small gift pocket, or wrap a cover.
A row of timbered market huts repeats across the page, useful under a stall photo, as a pocket lining for tickets, or folded into a simple cover.
Red and green stripes run the full page like a market awning, good behind a food stall photo, as a pocket lining, or cut down for a journal cover strip.
Tiny mulled wine mugs and orange slices scatter across the page, suited to backing a drink stall photo, lining a recipe pocket, or wrapping a small gift tag set.
Lined Writing Pages
A row of snowy wooden hut rooftops lines the top of this page, leaving room below for a gift list, a market day itinerary, or a short letter to next year.
Gingerbread hearts on ribbon run in a band down one side of this page, good for a stall shopping list, a cookie recipe, or notes on gifts still to wrap.
Small straw stars cluster in each corner of this page, ready for a wish list, a note on favourite ornaments found this year, or a line about the first snow.
A carved candle arch glows along the bottom edge of this page, suited to a letter to next year, a menu for mulled wine night, or a short market day diary entry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for a christmas market junk journal kit?
Matte cardstock around 65 to 100 lb holds the colour well and takes glue without curling. Lighter paper works too if you plan to layer pages rather than print single sheets.
What printer settings give the best colour on these pages?
Set your printer to its best photo or high quality setting on plain or matte photo paper. This keeps the reds and greens even and stops stripes or patterns looking patchy.
What size should I print the pages for a handheld journal?
Standard letter or A4 suits most printers and binders straight away. Trim pages down to A5 or a smaller handheld size afterward if you want a cosier, pocket sized journal.
What do I use to glue and trim these pages?
An acid free glue stick keeps pages flat without wrinkling, and small precision scissors make clean cuts around curves like the carousel or the candle arch. Tear edges by hand for a softer, handmade look.
Can I mix this set with other Christmas junk journal pages?
Yes, these pages mix well with other cozy Christmas sets if the palettes are close in tone. Keep warm reds and greens together and save cooler blues and silvers for a separate spread.
