Love your tunnel book. The only one I've made was a birthday card for my daughter and made from card stock. Hadn't thought about using multiples of the same postcard or picture. Definitely will be now. Thanks for the video.
Cool thanks for watching don’t forget to subscribe! Also be sure to share a link to what you made!
Thank yooou I loved it!
Awesome thanks for checking it out and leaving a comment!
How about giving us some instruction on what you do not just a speed video
?
Yep watch this one th-cam.com/video/m5P9zyWwil4/w-d-xo.html thanks!
Que idéia incrível, parabéns 👏❤
Thank you!!! 🤩😘☺️👍❤️
Interesting, great looking tunnel book demo, but not really teaching someone else how to do it, step by step.
Yep agreed for some reason TH-cam is pushing this video instead of this one How To Make A Tunnel Book Step By Step Tutorial, Monster High, Book Art
th-cam.com/video/m5P9zyWwil4/w-d-xo.html thanks for the support.
You don’t show the view looking down into opening…where you are gluing…to flat paper or in crease!

th-cam.com/video/m5P9zyWwil4/w-d-xo.html try this one. Thanks for checking out the video and interacting with the channel.
That is so cool, what a brilliant idea and I love that you use recycled and found objects. Hey I have an idea for you - how about selling printable tunnel book kits on your etsy shop? I would definitely buy them. Would love to see how you make the bags as well. Thanks for sharing, it was a real inspiration :D
Printable? like the images are on the pages and you would just cut them out? Like a cut by numbers? That's an interesting idea. I guess what makes it complicated is you need to print on think paper for it to work right... regular card stock isn't that great. I don't know if it would work but it's a good idea I will think about it. Thanks for the feedback! Let me know if you make something based on this video! :)
Yes like that, maybe it could be printed out then stuck onto recycled packaging card before cutting out. You could maybe include measurements or a template for the framework. I've already been rooting through my stash of old books and comics ... lots of ideas bubbling away now - thanks again for the inspiration :) I've subscribed, looking forward to more videos :D
Yeah I have done that laminating myself before and it never comes out the way I would like. that's kind of why I used found objects such as postcards because I have not found a way to make them from my own images in a way that I like. I just bought a new printer nothing fancy but it's new and I was planning on tackling the concept again. I'll be sure to post a video about it when I do. :)
Look forward to it !
You can get your images printed onto heavy photo paper at Office Depot for just a couple dollars. I made a fairy jar with a picture of my cousin's toddler (that I altered by making her into a fairy) and was surprised to find that heavy photo paper was even available and not expensive. It's really heavier than card stock. So take your own artwork and get it printed to make your next tunnel book! 😊
This is as cool as all hell. Can't believe I am only now seeing these books! How clever! Love it! Thanks & Bless
Awesome glad you like the books!
Never saw a tunnel book before, have seen cut out 3D framed prints and was fascinated by them. Very cool. Would be fun to do with a family photo of a birthday or holiday, wedding etc if I could get multiple prints on thick enough paper stock. Now I've got lots of recommendation to watch. Another rabbit hole
Cool! Thanks for checking it out!
Awesome! Thank you. Beautiful, yea!

Awesome!!!!
Thank you and Femingos for this amazing idea ♡
Thank you for checking out the video and the comment!!!! Super rad! Femingos!!!!
Newsprint breaks down and becomes very brittle. If you like texture, I would recommend using heavy watercolor paper or some other heavy mixed-media paper that has "tooth" to it. If you're really interested in having the print on the page, there are plenty of scrapbook papers with print on them but are acid-free. If working with paper is your medium, then check out tons of books from the library that cover all types of mixed-media, altered art projects that will inspire you! That way you will learn many tips about tools, how to incorporate artist-quality products such gesso, gel mediums and texture pastes, etc. One other suggestion would be that you check into making your own paper! It's not that hard, you set the ph level yourself if you're using recycled paper and then you have no worries! It's fun and will give you great pride in knowing you have created the whole project from beginning to end! Handmade papers have texture and you can add flower petals or glitter or be marbled... endless options. Hope you're encouraged! Looking forward to whatever else you make! 😊
Thanks for checking out the video and the feedback! You are not the first to tell me about newsprint breaking down. I am kind of attached to using found objects. Maybe the breakdown of the material can be part of the "story", part of the art! In fact that's what it's going to be for me :). thanks for your suggestions!
That's awesome. So clever
Cool thanks for finding this. digging in the channel archives!!!
Very nice! Go Seahawks!!
Thanks! Go Hawks!

Great video! So creative and helpful for my next art project (:
Thanks appreciate this. If you post your art tag me on IG @_thezim or FB @thezimseattle 👍
I love this structure of creative books. I teach art to senior citizens and am thinking of doing a tunnel book class in the fall. I am seeing 5 card layers and 8 side pieces for accordion fold reinforcement sides. Is this correct?
Thanks here is a better step by step video th-cam.com/video/m5P9zyWwil4/w-d-xo.html. For a beginning process I would recommend leaving off the side strips. Thanks for supporting the channel, let me know if you have any more questions.
Amazing! I loved the idea
Cool thanks tag me if you make something!
Thanks for the redirect to your step by step! That is awesome. Looking forward to doing with my older grands!
Thanks for the support!!!
Vim por indicação da Femingos e amei!
I put your comment in google translate and I still don't understand what it means. Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment even though I can't give you any direct response to it.
Eu vejo o que aconteceu obrigado!
theZimvideo, a brazilian youtuber who has a TH-cam channel called “Femingos” was inspired by your video to make a work of art, so I decided to look for your channel! I suggest you watch her video “COISAS PARA FAZER EM CASA E SE SENTIR MELHOR”. She makes lots of cool videos! ;)
Lara Juliane yes! I figured it out and reached out to her on Instagram and left a comment on her video. So cool! Thanks!
theZimvideo, nice! :)))
So cool!! I loved 👏🏻💘
Thanks so much! 🤩
come from Flamingos, I´m going to try this too!Great video, keep it up :))
Sweet thanks for saying hi! also because of Femingos I made a better video on how to make a tunnel book check it out th-cam.com/video/m5P9zyWwil4/w-d-xo.html I got a lot of you checking out my channel :).
@@theZimvideo thank you, I´m going to watch it right now!!
That's great! I would give the newspaper a miss though, its horribly acidic. Tyvek would be a better choice.
Thanks! I did not realize newsprint was acidic I will have to look into that. I use it a lot becasue I like the texture, both tactically and visually with the print on it. It also usually relates to the piece I am making. I probably won't go with Tyvek because I work to maintain a "found object" aspect to these pieces and would not be buying Tyveck for them. Gals you like the video, thanks for the comment :)!
Right, I get you..... Tyvek is often used in envelopes, you may be able to get some used envelopes? I really like what you are doing.
Congratulations, this is so cool!😍
Thanks, appreciate you!!!
Now this tunnel book is awesome. Thanks for a new video!
Sure but this video is pretty old. I have other tunnel book videos on my channel 🤩
Well I watched you other video and perhaps this video just added to the other but it was clearer in my mind how you created it so thanks very much👏
@@paulannesorensen2395 glad it helped
That is so awesome! I love those post cards.
Cynthia Johnson thanks appreciate the comment! Glad to hear you like it!
that one looks super awesome!
arianna gillespie thanks Ari!
So freaking kool!
Thanks appreciate the comment!
Another video? I thought this was store selling books. False advertising.
Let me know how you got that idea so I can fix it. TH-cam is all videos so I am not sure where I could have lead you wrong. I sell my books on etsy. check it out if you like www.etsy.com/shop/Tunnelbooksbythezim?ref=si_shop Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment much appreciated!
