I just came across this video and I am in AWE ... what an amazing tutorial thank you so much for sharing one day I am going to try this ... I have just been introduced to pocket letters and flip books so won't be ready for this for ages but I did save it to have when I get lots of practice :)
You're a wonderful teacher! Thank you :)
I really enjoyed your tutorial Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Tonight I've learned a lot.

Love love it!! Thanks so much!!
very cool cool video I am impressed thanks for the info and challenge'
Your video's are so Great!! You give such easy and detailed instuctions that even a beginner like me can follow :) Thank you
Thank you very much Teri! my favorite corner punch that I use most of the time is by EK success.
Thank you for the great tutorial. You give the directions so clearly. I really enjoyed the one you are doing on the Altared Vintage Children's book and am trying one of my own.I am so excited! But I can't seem to find the post from Feb.15, part two). Do you have it on TH-cam yet? Do you do the binding the same way as you did on this tutorial?
Thank you Patia I will check it out. I am a horid sewer but Im up to giving it a try =)
Lol...I should hope so. I certainly wouldn't keep my real nails like that, nothing would ever get done! Thanks for watching =)
Wow, you are a wonderful demonstrator. Thank you for the step by step. You speak at a good pace Not to fast, where we have to go back & try to understand what is said, and not so slow it’s boring.
So hooked, it took a day and a half watched all your video's. Loved them. I love that corner punch. Who is the maker?
Great video
Some of your comments are so rude...you don't have to watch ....Great tutorial ...nails and all...😘
I agree! Some people can be so fragile and whiny. I learned a lot!
Gwen M. Casteel What’s so rude about commenting on the sound? I for one was fine with it. Almost all the comments I saw were totally positive!!
I really love this! This is going on my to do-list!!:)
Thank you LaSharown! Glad you found me =)
Your very welcome Ada! hope to see you on here soon.
great clear instruction, thank you
Love this video! I have watched it several times as I am in the process of making my first altered book. I am interested in the links for sewing the book binding (mentioned in your reply to Collette Landwer) if you are still willing to share. Thanks!
Wonderful tutorial. I loved nearly everything you showed. My only concern would be the thread ... Even if its the strongest, all it would take is for one section of thread to snap and the whole book would fall apart. I suppose to minimize catastrophe, you could sew each signature separately, even tho it might be more time consuming. Beautifully done. (And who cares about your nails, I was looking at the tutorial nor your manicure). Still looking for the video for how you decorated it :(. Thanks for the info!!
Hi Collette, the thread can be tricky but so far I haven't had any catastrophes (fingers crossed) I am like a mother hen with my books =) I have made books for friends and family recently by sewing the binding just like old books are done and I really like how they are turning out. If you are interested in learning how message me and I can send you links to some really good tutorials.
Also, instead of just using a normal polycotton thread you can use a boot makers polycotton thread (almost impossible to break)...just a thought
I learned some good techniques. tfs
Do you have a written version of a tutorial like this anywhere, like on a blog? So i can quickly refer back to it without having to watch the whole video again? it isn't a problem if there isn't :)
where did you get that retractable craft knife? GREAT video! Sandy
If you do this with the books a lot you should check out Raffaele De Dominicis's Four videos on hand sewing books. I warn you though it is all in Italian but you get the gist of it while watching the videos. I have tried it myself with some success although not as elaborate a setup as he has. If you do it I guarantee that your books wont fall apart, and it seems it might be easier then your current method.
Thank you!
Sorry; the paper that you used inside of the "dividers" --- was that just copier paper?
Any double sided sticky tape ive ever used never hold right!! what are you using for brand?
Hi Kelly! I have tried lots of brands and the one i have had the most success with is Score tape. www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Scor-Tape-1-4-Crafting-Tape-45094?currency=USD
Now I want a scoring board.
What kind of paper is the yellow paper? Thank you
Oops what brand of thread or type is strong enough?
The volume is very low. I have the volume on my iPad up all the way, then I switched to my laptop volume up all the way and I could barely hear you voice. It makes it hard to want to come back for other videos. I enjoy the topics.
Sandra L. Agree
I have no problems with volume
I didn't do any written directions for this one sorry. I know what you mean about having to watch em over and over. I cant begin to count how many times I watched the video teaching me how to crochet a flower!
Thanks. The sound was unclear in places but I still managed to pick up the process.
I have my sound up and can barely hear you....what I can hear sounds great and loved watching the video but can't always tell what you're saying.
If you are going to give tutorials on altering books and deconstructing books... I would suggest learning about book binding so you can use accurate terms for the anatomy of books, which would benefit your attempt at educating viewers.
wheres the shopping list you kept mentioning? i can't find it :(
WoW ^_^
Please turn up the volume.
Thank you so much for this lovely tutorial. I just subscribed! Now I am going to attempt to make one of these. Come by our channel when you get a chance. We do a lot of crafts n hauls. Have a blessed day… Karen
The nails detract from everything!!
I wish your video has better resolution.
Why don't you just use Chip Board ... don't understand...😳
Volume is too low to hear you!
Sorry but I can't hear you even with the volume all the way up. Gave up watching
I can't barely hear you and on top of that those nails, is a no no.
Can't hear you. Enjoyed what I could hear though.
Thank you!
