I hope you enjoy this Altered Book Flip Through!
This is the book that threw me into the whole junk journaling world. By accident U Tube sent me the video of you first deconstructing and building this journal. My eccentric daughter wanted books without jackets that she wasn’t going to read but loved the raw spines being lined up and displayed on a shelf. I made her one and haven’t looked back. Thanks so much for being the gateway drug that brought me into this whole world!
The same for me...when I saw this video I fell head over heels in over w junk journaling...
@@tcovington0711 It’s a hobby I never expected to have but love it so much.
I could listen to you talk for hours . You are a wonderful story teller. The book is a story of pockets .beautiful book ❤️
Thank you so much :)
Natasha you are precious. In the moments I am watching and listening to you I am uplifted into that yummy realm of creativity. The worries of the world melt away. You are a gift. Thank you.
Natasha, you tickle me 😂. I am always inspired and amazed by your creativity. I love EVERYTHING you do.
Thank you so much!
Wow! Natasha, you were quite the free spirit in this video. I love it! I hope all is well. Keep “destroying” old books in this positive, creative, and most useful way!🎉💝
Thank you Debra!!
I was blessed to be able to purchase the altered book Natasa made. Whoever purchases this one will love it, as I do mine❣️❣️
You’re always inspirational Natasa, and I love your sass 🥰 You’re definitely not destroying the book, you’re beautifying it 💗
Thank you so much :)
Your work is beautiful, your accent is charming, and your personality is just delightful! Every video inspires and uplifts...thank you!
Thank you so much!
Uneven torn pockets, love it...now I need to find a thrift shop and get a book like that to make a pocket book. THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO, no all of your videos are, treasures indeed :) ❤️
Thank you!!
Back you go little , with the little shorts. That cracked me up. Who here reading this remembers stubby shorts in Australia. Gosh they were awful 😂😂😂😂 This style of altered book , I just love. Great for storing all your favourite things for certain. Tfs . 💜🙏💜🙏
Simply ADORE your channel!! I am making four junk journals for Christmas gifts and constantly need inspiration. Your creations and ideas are truly helpful. I recently found a bunch of antique post cards at a flea market, some have handwritten notes and 1cent stamps!! So fun! ❤️ from the U.S. Edit: OK and now I need to buy loads of washi tape!! The fat cats had me 😄 🤣
I'm a booklover too, and am happy to repurpose books that are not wanted! Love all the ideas - so clever!
'enjoy the journey ' yes I enjoyed the tour of this absolutely beautiful pocket, which are like secret inserts of crafting :)
I adore the skipped stitches!!! It coaxes you into looking at it more carefully without impacting the splendor AT ALL. If I could figure out how to force my sewing machine to do that, I would!!!!!!
Natasha, You make me laugh... I so love watching your videos. You make my day. onto another video.
Devine Pocket Book. Positive Healing Vibes and prayers for everyone in Ian's path! You can hear those tropical storm weather outside our place. Be safe💕🐞 Namaste 🥰
You're number one on youtube for me! Thanks❤ for all your wonderful, inspiring videos.
Yay! Thank you!
I enjoyed seeing your beautiful work of art. Interactive pockets are so much fun to fill with treasures.
What a fun mood you were in doing this video. I always love seeing that side of you. I remember when you did this book originally for tags. You have turned it into a lovely Journal now. So full of ideas. You are a whiz
THAT is absolutely wonderful! I love all those pockets and pockets and pockets! All the do-dads here and there. And that missed-stitch on the zig-zag gold sheet is actually full of character. Adding the straight stitching makes it all look very purposeful. SO many ideas!! Thank you!
Thank you so much Jenn :)
“I just stuffed in another envelope to put more things into, it makes total sense”. ☺️ Such a lovely Natasha thing to say. Unique. X
Thank you!
I know this video is old, but seriously!! I do have to stop watching your amazing videos. They are so informative and fun. I feel like I am sitting in your work room having a chat. I have 4 journals on the go....
Thank you again, not only for the beautiful ideas and creative energy, but for your sweet soul, always lifts my spirit! 👏👍☺️🌼
Thank YOU Cindy :)
I really enjoyed this video. Such inspiration and so much fun while creating what you love. Have a super fantastic weekend, Natasha. Sending love and big hugs Sherry ❤
Natasa, I’m deeply grateful for all the fabulous inspiration you provide each week. I always look forward to each new video! Many thanks.
Thank you so much!
I agree. I have loved books all my life! Altering a book that would otherwise be discarded honors the book by giving it a new life.
Pockets, pockets and more pockets! You're so funny - and so inspiring 💗
Love your humor ❤️. Love the pocket book idea. Flip out pocket attached to a pocket for more journaling nick nacks. 📖
Thank you 😊
So fun to see how your book finished up. It’s funny I always say I am giving books a new life too- and many I save from going in the bin! Thank you for always inspiring ❤
So true! Thank you :)
Thank you for all these wonderful ideas for pockets! Your creativity is off the charts!
Thank you so much!!!
I bought all those washi tape and stickers. I love how you used them. Here I go to find the tutorial to make one.
Great video with so many fabulous ideas. The reason you watched bees is you have a similar work ethic. You always come up with great content, keep busy creating concepts, and spread joy to others (the honey part). If they were hornets....stay away!!!
Hehe I love this comment. Thank you :)
Positive Healing Vibes and prayers for everyone in Ian's path! You can hear those tropical storm weather outside our place. So many books in the library end up on the free shelf, then if someone doesn't take them they are burned because they have outlived their use. I've gotten books from the library that have never been read to. I feel like we are saving these books I just wish I could take more. Be safe💕🐞 Namaste 🥰
(4:20) I love the idea of decoupaging napkins with glue mixed with brown watercolor. The very first dramatization piece about books and travel was awesome (a treasure I am always looking for in videos of creative people). (8:46) When I cut corners for tags, I should also glue those off-cuts to page corners (for either décor/cohesiveness or function of tuck spots).
Wow. Love how sharp, clean, and spare it is. I've never thought to just leave the pages! Also, a great way to cut down on bulk (so important with altered books as you can burst the spine). Just wonderful. You're a wizard!
Glad it was helpful!
I loved this flip through. Natasha, I love your humor! I was giggling through the video. 😊. I will rewatch the video of you making this. Love it! TFS! ❤️
Natasa, this video made me smile the entire time I was watching it. I missed your original video, but now I'm going to have to watch it. I'm LOVING all these pockets. It's like going on a mini treasure hunt. So many wonderful, fun things to find as you search though each page. Thank you for sharing this video! It has gotten my muse very excited!! I too am a book lover, and what you've done to this book is beyond amazing. You've shown us how we can easily take a book that would probably have been thrown into the trash, and make it into a beautiful gift for a friend, a loved one or for ourselves.
I think you’ve given new life to the meaning of ‘’pocket books’’! I love when you read the short inspirational quotes ! Congrats to Inspirational YOU!❤ 👍BFE
Your comments are lovely! I can watch your videos just to hear your voice! But you stimulated me to start digging all my saved stuff and start gluing and folding. Thank you for the inspiration!
I'm so glad! Thank you Irina
Fantastic book and video. A lot of inspiration and creativity. Thank you so much for your positive attitude and for sharing your talent. ❤️🥰😘
Thank you so much!
I love this book so much. I have several old books set aside to make altered books with but I never thought to just leave the text visible like that. For some reason, I thought it had to be hidden at all costs. I also love the different pockets. Seriously gonna be using this book as inspiration for a while. Thank you for being so amazingly sassy.
Love this! And that your machine decided to have a little party of it's own. Mine likes to do that, too. Love your enthusiasm, Natasha, plus your expressions, that you say, so relaxing and entertaining. It's like having a cup of tea with a friend, while you are showing your latest project to us. Thank you for your explanation about giving the book(s) a second life, because it was never allowed/able to fulfill it's first life. That eases my mind. I don't get angry at those who use maps .and books this way, but I know it would be difficult for me to do so. That is, unless I were to find a book or atlas that was not constructed or printed correctly. That was a lucky find for you!
I love this video as much as I loved the original one where you taught us how to do this. I'm hearing you about the love of birds. The older I get, I'm 60 today, the more sentimental I become and birds and bees are right up there. As someone who has worked in a library all my life, I can tell you that these days old books, especially the ones that don't get bought in the book sales end up being shredded. You/we really are preserving their lives. 🌷
The skipped stitches make it so much better. They are charming, unique, quirky and make this an individual piece. Not destroyed book, its an altered book.
You are so cute! Love your work. Thanks for letting us into your world and sharing your ideas. Always an inspiration and full of practical ideas and I appreciate the way you explain everything. Plus you are funny!
Thank you so much!
I love watching you take trash and make something extraordinary love you sunshine
Thank you so much 😊
I’ve nearly giggled myself off my chair…thank you for the best start on my day in a long while.😂😂😂❤
Absolutely loved this video. Not only are you creative but you explain everything with such ease and I loved your humour on this video. I am definitely going to be watching this video again. Well done for a brilliant video.
Thank you so much!
Natasha … 1.) I watched your 1st altered pocket book tutorial & I still love making them! 🥳 I fill them up with goodies to share with crafty friends in happy mail. ♥️ 2.) I love your silliness in this video 😜!
YOU are amazing, darling Natasa, and dont YOU forget it 🥰🥰🥰 I'm organising my craft supplies since I'm moving house and this has inspired me for a way to keep all those little bits of treasures I really dont want to throw in the recycling
Thank you so much :) Good luck with your move :)
The skipped stitches gives it character! I love it! Nothing in life is perfect.
Agreed!!
I watched the videos as you made this, but I love seeing the whole thing together and how great the variety of pockets is! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Love it & I can't wait to play with an old forgotten book & make it a lovely pocket book with loads of hidden secrets!!
Wonderful!
I love hearing all the details and you have a beautiful voice so it is also a “treasure” to listen to. Thank you! You have so many beautiful and creative ideas! I can’t wait until I can carve out the time to explore them more in my crafty space. 😃
Your missed stitching looks to me like a temperature chart! Love the book, so clever.
This is Beautiful! I'm a book lover too, But all those books that the library is throwing away does need to have a new life. When you give something new life then pass it on it does have another purpose. Nothing wrong with putting small gifts in the pockets. Thank You. Here's to wonderful wonderful you. Take care and be safe
I love hearing the details!😉
I LOVE this journal! You have the most original ideas. Your videos are wonderful. Love your voice. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love this book of pockets. I like your split pages and split pockets and the one that has the three pockets but on the back has the stickers without pockets that that you cut up, that's just a superb idea. I always love your stuff.
Thank you so much!
Just amazing, love love this book idk how you come up with so many beautiful ideas. Many people just put books in the garbage you are saving them and making it beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Oooh, I'm going to watch this so many times! So many fantastic ideas. I felt like a chef in a gourmet food store looking at all the goodies :) You are a treasure!
So glad! Thank you so much lovely Ann!!
OMG I love those book quotes u mention 📖 yes!
❤️ love pockets, pockets, pockets :)
Love, love, love what u did with this POOR UNREAD book. People will say what they want. It’s how we take it, and your answers to this comment - WERE DEAD ON. Good for u, Natasa. U go girl !! ❤❤ Darlene … I love how u say it - like it is.
Thank you so much Darlene :)
More pockets, more fun…. That‘s true dear Natasa. I get many old books, only decorated outside. Now do I know what to do inside. I‘ll have fun. Thank you, with hugs from Germany 🙋🏼♀️ Sabine
I LUV LUV LUV this idea!! Your creativity is absolutely amazing!! I need to make one!! And who knew there could be so many different ways to make pockets?!! Fabulous!!😁👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much!!
Ok. There is nothing you do that I don’t love completely, but this is honestly one of my all-time favorites. It has a bit of everything and is really a repository of ideas as much as wonderful “junk”…..!!!!!!! As always, thank you so very much for sharing your humor and talent. (BTW. Loved the comment about your sewing machine having its own party - laughed out loud on that one….!!!!!)
Haha thank you Janie!
Lots of wonderful ideas!!! Thank you! 😊
am stuck at home with shingles. Watching this video gave me some relief. Its interesting, educational & entertaining. I love your style & sense of humor. Thank you for being an inspiration, Natasha!
So sorry that you have Shingles.....it's a terrible virus, so painful. I know several people who've had shingles; my mother had it twice. Our son had chicken pox at 7 weeks and shingles at 18 months. It was so bad! Get well and make journals.
Thank you so much! I hope you recover quickly, I have heard that shingles is very painful :(
@@marilynmccormick3731 thank you Marilyn ❣️ and now there's a hurricane heading my way! Ugh! I see lots of creating in my future...and praying. Lol
@@TreasureBooks thank you
I just love your style. You have amazing taste. The way you put stuff together is so elegant and classy.
I love your comments as you do your tutorials and flip throughs. You're such a sensible, down-to-earth, highly relatable person! I love all the repurposing you do - super creative and resourceful! I agree with your idea: "Those who read travel the world." Some of us don't have the financial means or the physical ability to travel the globe. But books have so much to teach us about the world!
I totally agree. I'm not much of a traveler, can't think of anything worse than traveling around with a suitcase here and there ... But I'd love to see the world. I just don't really want to leave my house. So that's a bit of a problem :)
I love your altered book and how you use the pages as background and lots of pockets! I'm also impressed that you don't use digitals...I don't have a printer either... So this is very helpful and inspirational! I'm going to watch this again and take notes! TFS🤗
I’ve been wanting to make my own pocket folder book since I first saw the other video. Seeing yours filled puts the need for me to make it as soon as I finish with the 3-signature journal I’m making for my daughter. I love the zigzag stitch-straight stitch combo on the cover journaling spot card! 💝🧵💝✂️💝 Love your personality shining through in your videos!!! Thank you for being you!!! 💝
i really like this. I have so many books to use.. HA.. A real good project if you are bored and have excess 'junk'.. I love bees.! jo
I must say your washi tapes are the prettiest I've seen. I usually pass on washi and never use all that I have. Shame on me. Must embrace my washi and use it. Now I'm going to have to go to your video of how you made the pocketbook originally
Oh my gawd Natasha...you are hilarious!🤣 I love, love, love your videos...because they are informative and inspirational but mostly because you are so damn entertaining!! Good on you for trying to educate the naysayers about how we artist's give books a new life by repurposing them and saving them from the trash bin or an idle lonely life of sitting on the shelf of some dusty used book store, never to be read again! And a huge thank you for keeping me company while I create at my art table. Hibiscus Hugs to you dear lady💞🤗🌺🙋♀️
Endless of inspiration, yes! Thanks! Love this channel, it pulls on the heartstrings of my creativity :). Blessings everyone. Happy treasure booking :)
Ripped washi tape -- I will certainly try that--- I like the look of that. I have created two books from your original video --but neither are completely finished yet...I'll get back to them today! Thank you for the inspiration.
I really like this idea. Rescuing a book and repurposing it. I’m getting a growing pile of ephemera, tags, envelopes etc for my first journal and a book like this will be perfect for storing them till I’m ready for assembly. Keep up your explanations of everything too. That’s full of invaluable for ideas beginners.
I love, love this video and all your comments ❤
You go girl! I love books all my life too. This is a book blessing...giving them new life. Blessings
You made me laugh so many times whilst I was watching this. Love your work and your sense of humour!❤
Thank you!!!
This is an awesome altered book!! Now I must make one just like it ! And you are so funny. I could listen to you all day! I love you!
Thank you so much!
I love birds as well they are so humble, sparrows are my fav
A plethora (big word haha) of ideas!! Your humor lifts me up and inspires me. I get excited when I see there's a new video from you, so THANK YOU!! I would love to make a book like this but as soon as I have the book in front of me, my mind goes blank. But, I won't give up!! God bless you and your family!! 😊❤️
Thank you!! I love the word "plethora" but I never use it. From now on, I will use that word. And when you hear it in my video, you will know its a little nod to you Cindy :) Thank you. Don't give up!! Once you start with one idea, another one comes, and before you know it, you have a plethora of ideas!
Hahaha that's wonderful!! Thank you!! 😊❤️
Hi Natasha! I love what you have done with this book. All of the pockets are quite clever. I have been following you on YT for a couple of years and didn't realize what a funny girl you are. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
I cringed 1st time I saw u rip a book 📖 but .. .. now I am lovingly turning tip books into keepsakes ❤thank you Natasa ❤❤❤
Hehe thank you so much!!!
Again, I’m so Inspired. Keep doing you!!! We love it!!!
This is a great update! I watched your first video last year and made a prototype book of pockets. It is so nice to see it embellished and now I am excited to continue with this project. Thank you for sharing all your good ideas, your cute comments and sense of humor. 🙏
Thank you so much!
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this journal. I have been looking for a no sew way to make junk journals, and had not found one that would work for me. I am limited vision so sewing is not an option for me. I have 19 grandchildren , and want to make journals for the older girls 9 6 of them) for Christmas. This will work so well for me. I love all of your videos , but love this one the most. Many blessings to you for sharing your experience and talent.
Eres increíble Natasha! No dejas de sorprender con tu creatividad infinita y tu humor inspirador para el ARTE en nuestras VIDAS. Thanks so much!! ❤Abrazote desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
I love your concise and well edited videos! And I always know I will see inspirational and creative new ideas on your channel. I also loved seeing your funny personality show up throughout the video.
Thank you so much!
This was inspiring and hilarious. Please carry on with your book craft. The haters can save their indignation for people who ban and burn books. It's not like we have a book shortage on the planet, and none of us are destroying or censoring information. We are transforming one object into another. That's magic. 📚 🎨
Agreed!!! I wish I could articulate it so beautifully :)
It's a wonderful companion book, such a great idea!😀💗
i love this book. So many good ideas. Thank you
Thank you so much :)
Hi Natasha, i love the quotes you have in your beautiful journal.
Thank you Lisa 😊
What an enjoyable video! I love to see all the imaginative ideas you have! The final style of the book is so interesting that it invites a look-through! And yes, I love books very much too, as well as original journals! ☺️📚🧡
How beautiful love your pocketbook journal you definitely as always inspire me with your creativity. It amazes me how people judge you about a book, they think your destroying but, your not your creating something beautiful and I ask myself🤔 what are they doing to things we may not like. To those who judge Ms. Natasha, “Judge not, that you may not be judged. Keep creating Ms. Natasha don’t worry about what people say or think about a book. Thanks for sharing 🥳💕
Mahvelous, Dahling! Simply mahvelous!
Haha thank you Julie :)
Hi Natasa - I made your Altered Book of Pockets and i love it - and yes its sitting here with empty pockets - but now you have inspired me to finish it - thank you for all you do 🥰🤗
Wonderful! Now the fun part begins!!
