Yeah for thanks for the idea! ❤ I started a book using your method from the previous video but I’ve yet to glue the pages. So I’m going to add pockets to it! I’m going to cut the notches first before glueing 👏🏼👍🏼
Iris, you are genius! Yes, punch out the notch before gluing the papers together. That makes perfect sense! Thank you!!
"Ditto" cut the notches first!
@susanwhite6406 Yes!
coucou Lili , je viens de faire a l'instant avec vous, de sauver un livre et le modifier. Quel merveilleuse idée. merci de votre partage avec nous. vous êtes un rayon de soleil, pour toutes vos abonnées. je vais décorer ce livre,et l'offrir a ma petite fille qui va bientôt avoir 3 ans. des photos d'elle,depuis sa naissance. mille merci. Christiane.🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🤩😍😁
Thank you so much! What a beautiful gift this will make for your granddaughter. I appreciate you following along and crafting with me. Wishing you a beautiful day! :)
Hiiii 👋🏻 here from “K is for Karen” channel ❤
Hello! Welcome and thank you so much for being here. 😊
Oh my goodness! How did I miss this posting. Must try this one . Couldn’t believe how the tissue box cover with pink flowers 🌺 matched perfect! 🌺
How perfect it was. I'm so glad the topper was still sitting on my desk so I just reached for it. Thank you for watching!
It makes perfect sense! I am so glad to have this. I plan to follow the video and make one just like it. Thank you! I love the pink too. 🩷
Wonderful! Thank you 😊
You are so right! I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets annoyed by the buckling of the pages.
Sometimes it's just inevitable. :)
Love the hot pink! As always I love it!❤
Yay! Thank you!😊
Love the pink book
I know! Isn't the color just fabulous?! Thank you for watching. 😍
I love the pink!! Also, I decorate/cover my pages before I fold. Sometimes that makes it easier to cover the print. Love the video. Thanks Lilly!
So many great ideas!! Thank you 😊
I have a suggestion. If you know you want a 2" notch in the top, you might try punching the notch prior to gluing.
Yes, that exactly what IrisN said, lol! I love how y'all can see things I totally space. 😆😁😄
Pretty pink book!!
It is a beautiful color. :)
The pocket idea is brilliant 🎉 one day I'll try this 😅
Yes, do it! ;)
Love seeing your process!
Thanks so much. I appreciate that. :)
Loved this post. I am just beginning my adventures in Junk journaling. K is for Karen referred me to your channel & I am so glad she did. I look forward to learning from you.
Awesome! Thank you so much for coming over. I am so happy you are here. :)
Have you read this book? Make sure you cover up some of the more graphic wording. Lol. Thank you for making this easy to follow video. I make junk journals but for some reason altered books tend to be a challenge for me. Looking forward to more inspiration
Thank you and I do hope you give it a try. It's not so bad. :) In this video I show how I cover up the text pages. kzhead.info/sun/abZrmbCSeqSkf3k/bejne.html Thank you!
I love this idea, thank you!
You are so welcome!
Great tutorial! ❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for sharing this.
My pleasure! 😊
Hey Ms. Lilly, another good video. I saw your Christmas junk journal and I had to try this. I’m a big reader so that 1st page was hard to rip, lol. But I made it….hand was shaking the 1st couple of pages 😅. But I like the fact that you use every part of the book and you show how to use the ripped out pages as journal tags or pages to write on❤ Thank you!! I really enjoy your channel.
Thank you! I'm a reader too and I try to alter book that are really used or ready to discard then I don't feel so bad. :)
👍 interesting
Thanks for the visit :)
Looking forward to see a flip through these beautiful pink journals!
Thanks so much. I will try to work on these soon. :)
What a fun way to alter a book. I think for the holidays this would work out well for presents. Thank you so much for sharing!
It really is! Would truly make a great gift. :)
Great video very useful ❤
Glad you think so! Thank you😊
Love it! I can’t wait to make one. Thank you for sharing 🤍
Thank you! Go for it!
I love the pink cover 🤩
It is gorgeous!
Love it! I plan on trying this great idea for a book!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes! That's great! 😊
BEST altered book tutorial that I have seen. You make it look doable for me, thank you so much for explaining everything in detail! I feel like I can do this now! However, I have a question for you on another video. It was one of your recent flipthroughs, not sure which one, but you mentioned you sealed the digital paper on the cover with mod podge. I tend to use a lot of digitals and I am wondering how to do this process of sealing with mod podge. Would it be possible to make a short tutorial whenever you are working with digitals again? I love your channel! You are such a joy to watch and listen to. I love your positivity and your smile!
Thank you so much! I sure will! :)
❤❤
Thank you!
Muy bonito color, me encantó 🎉🎉🎉
Gracias! 🥰😘🤗
❤
Thank you. 😊
😅 looks easy
Give it a go. The hardest part is starting. This video had me tongue tied. 😆😁😄
I don't take out so many pages in between gluing them. I think that's why pages buckle (too much space in between them). I may glue 2 or 3 pages together, then take out 2, or take out one, in between 2, and glue them together, hiding the torn out edges. You can also cut out 2 pages, in different lengths, leaving about an inch, or more of a page, in the spine, then glue a scrapbook page, in between the 2 cut out pages. You can also add one scrapbook page, or a variety of other pages to every 2 cut out pages, with some made into various types of pockets, as you go. I think having various lengths, evens all the pages out better, hiding ripped out ones, rather than collapsing the spine, or making the spine too thick, by taking out too many pages, if that makes sense.
These are great tips. Thank you for sharing your techniques. I've altered many different ways and my methods will continuously evolve. The best part is experimenting. Thank you!
Absolutely obsessed with your stuff! You’re great! I think I watched your Christmas altered book 1st before I discovered this one. Because I asked how to pull out the pages from that one. Ha ha ha. Anyway, I do have a question, though about the front and back inside covers do you change those papers or do you just leave whatever the book has in there? If you do change the colors of those inside pages, can you tell me how you do that? Is it just one piece, or do you peace them in? Thanks!!!
Hello and thank you so much for your kind words! The inside of the book was already lined with this amazing paper however, I have lined the inside covers with decorative paper. I measure the height and width of the inside cover and cut accordingly. I may leave a 1/4" border all around and then glue in place. I hope you find this helpful and give it a go. Thank you for being here and watching my videos. 😊
What if you punch your pocket notches before you glue pages together?
Yes, that's what I will do moving forward. Hehehe 🤭
❤
Thank you!
