I found your video now that I'm trying one of these little golden books. I am in awe of your incredible tenacity! I would have given up so long ago it's pathetic. Kudos to you! You really deserve some sort of award for your efforts. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Looks Nice!!! I steam the golden seam off with my heat gun, Then I make the binding whatever width I want, and don’t cut or fold the original pages. It’s nice to have options 👍❤️
I started watching your channel to see how you did your LGB alterations, but you won me over as a subscriber by your sheer determination with the book that you had to redo so many times. You are awesome. Thanks for sharing the flaws as well as your successes. That is a major stumbling block for many of us that fear making a mistake.🤗
Good morning Kateryne, Thank you and Welcome! I'm happy you are here. I definitely want there to be transparency on my channel. It removes the pressure of perfection and allows room for freedom of expression and creativity. Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you. 😊😊😊
Hi Lily. I don’t know if I’ve messaged you previously or not but I wanted to let you know that I just finished re-watching your little golden book tutorial to keep the golden spine intact, and I actually was able to do it myself and although I haven’t sewn the signatures in yet, I’m looking forward to it. And I’m looking forward to creating other ones as well. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and creativity With us. I really do appreciate it very much. Thank you, Christine.
Thank you Christine. I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video on replay lol. :) I'm so glad you were able to create your own cover. Thank you for your kind words. :)
Oh my goodness! It did give me a little anxiety but I knew you wouldn’t have posted the video if it didn’t ever work. I’m so glad to see that everyone struggles now and then. Thanks for sharing that! Thank you!
There is a quote I came across years ago..."I made a mistake once but I was wrong" lol! ;) However, while working on these LGB Junk Journal covers I did make several creative mistakes but I persevered and the end result was well worth the trouble. I've now learned new things which will definitely help me in future journals. TFW :) (BTW, I do have a LGB Playlist linked in the description area) Wishing you a beautiful day.
Glad you got it to work and not have to tear into the golden spine 😅 you gave me a few giggles 🤭 looks like it all turned out great and glad you’re sewing machine didn’t break a needle. Thanks for sharing ☺️
It must be the pin I pierce and hold in place onto a dimensional tape on the side of the bottle. I have a Shorts video with my "hack" hehe th-cam.com/users/shortsPmQ_jqGwMaU?feature=share
Hi and welcome. Great question and Indeed that is exactly what I did. 😊😉 I've a Playlist on my TH-cam channel dedicated specifically to altering A Little Golden Books and saving the "Golden Spine". I invite you to check out the videos including my most recent flip through. Here is the one specifically showing how I create the LGB cover without messing up the gold binding. Enjoy and thank you for being here. th-cam.com/video/jDsATLKK8u0/w-d-xo.html
Helpful hint. Next time you need to remove any tape, use cigarette lighter fluid. It deactivates the sticky and completely evaporates and the sticky comes back. But you can remove tape, lift something that you've used a tape runner on, won't even hurt your pictures.
I'm laughing with you I to have had my bout with packing tape an Nothing sticks to it believe me it went out the door because I don't sew but I tried everything even E6000

Thank you so much! It gets easier with practice. Have fun creating yours even if it gives you trouble at first. :)
Looks Nice!!!

Yes, I agree. So many great ideas. Thank you for sharing yours and watching. 😊
So glad I found you! I’ve started down the golden book rabbit hole, and I too cringe when I see them remove the gold binding! Thanks for the videos
You are so welcome! I've a newer process video too!

I'm not gonna lie...It was challenging! Thank you for watching! 😊😊😊
I can relate. I giggled through your video in sympathy. The struggle is real. Thank you for sharing the journey
Hi Raquel, lol it was a little frustrating but a lesson well learned. I love these altered books! Thank you for being here. 😊
Thank you Lily. This was awesome encouragement and it turned out MARVELOUS!
So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for being here.

LOL! I had to laugh at all my mistakes too or I would have gone crazy frustrated hahaha My sewing machine is awesome! TFW
Oh very nice! Love this version! I’m new at this and I have from golden books to alter.
Hi Kelli, welcome to the junk journal world. 😊 I hope you found this video helpful in your new journey. ☺
cool video !!!
TY
How did you persevere the spine. I love that
Thank you! I have another video showing how I do it. This is it right here: th-cam.com/video/jDsATLKK8u0/w-d-xo.html :)
I want to try using a hidden spine on the little Golden books. That way the spine is not broken up with the piercing of it.
Yes! That is another fantastic option. 😊😊😊
Ok, what is the pin thing on the side of your glue? That looks genius, so I'm curious.
It must be the pin I pierce and hold in place onto a dimensional tape on the side of the bottle. I have a Shorts video with my "hack" hehe th-cam.com/users/shortsPmQ_jqGwMaU?feature=share
What happens if we're only putting one signature in so the holes would be into your Center reinforced piece?
Two signatures work best for the way I reinforce the spine. If I were to do a single signature I would figure out something new. :)
I am sure you already know this but I wanted to share that I heat the golden strip with my heat gun and it just lifts by it self and peels right off .
Hi, thank you for sharing that tip. :)
I’m assuming you didn’t see thru the actual book edge? Just all the binding?
I sewed the signatures through the spine.
Question how did you cut the book it seems the middle of binding the gold looks untouched?

When I add the paper to the inside spine, it bubbles. What am I doing wrong?🙈
I'll tell you what works for me. Make sure the glue is spread evenly and then make certain it dries completely before moving forward.
Helpful hint. Next time you need to remove any tape, use cigarette lighter fluid. It deactivates the sticky and completely evaporates and the sticky comes back. But you can remove tape, lift something that you've used a tape runner on, won't even hurt your pictures.

How about 2 sided tape?
Whichever adhesive works, I'm for it. 😉😁
I'm laughing with you I to have had my bout with packing tape an Nothing sticks to it believe me it went out the door because I don't sew but I tried everything even E6000
Ohmygosh that was nuts! Lol! The only thing that'll stick to it is the tape itself, haha 😄
