Damn, this is pretty awesome! Never thought about using leather from boots! I should definitely look into this. One more modification I would personally do to complete the stressed out leather journal though is to maybe age the paper a bit with coffee or tea.
Totally Awesome! What a great way to upcycle! Haven't been to a thrift store in quite some time but another place to look for leather is in the skirts and jackets. A mini skirt would be cheaper though, but probably not as interesting! Good job!
Brilliant!!! I've been tempted to get into leather work yet the expense of the tool "kits" have been out of reach. The over all process your tutorial presented takes the intimidation I "previously" had for leather work. So looking forward to my next visit to the 2nd hand store. Totally INSPIRED!! Finding your channel... priceless! thank you for sharing your time and talent. Looking forward to more videos.:-)))
Absolutely Brilliant!!! What a Capital idea! I use to do volunteer work in many countries. I came across an old camel hide that I made an art portfolio out of. It was a daunting task but lasted and held up, until my home went up in a blaze from an electrical storm. 😢 Everything happens for a reason. We lived through it!🙏🏼 I am impressed with your work. I will continue to follow. 🌸🙏🏼
I’m glad I found your channel. I have a pair of white leather boots in my craft room and I was wondering what to do with them. I love your book projects. I’m now looking for a book press.
Oh, I've once made a book cover for my LoTR out of my mom's old suede boots, and your Traveller's Journal looks quite similar, exept my cover has a beads mesh on the spine and more variable embrodery. Upcycling is really fun to do!
I really like the leather journal you made, I also go on scavenger hunts in the thrift shops where I live, thank you for sharing. Cheers from Tasmania!
Cool idea! I‘m planning to make leather gaiters with material from an second hand jacket come winter. I love A.S.98 boots, but they are sooo expensive. I figure the look should be reasonably easy to copy, though! Leather is an amazing material for upcycling, since it often looks even cooler when distressed and reassembled 👍
Great idea for recycling! I think an improvement could be to design it as a cover for regular notebooks, so you can change the book out for a new, when the old book is full. And maybe add a pocket for cut outs, photoes and a pen.
This inspired me to get started with leather working. Just finished the same project: An old pair of leather boots, turned into a travelers journal. :)
fabulous work. I just made a note book made from a $10 leather jacket.... but also made Lagerthas leather armour from it and other parts of her costume arm bracers etc it was a large leather jacket and fab to reuse something so old and ugly to something beautiful
so very talented!! you are living the life i wish that i had as i absolutely LOVE everything Medievel and Fantasy but have 0 talent thank you for sharing!!
your brilliant! do you have your own store! that is amazing that is a talented gift ya got. I thought that was creative! I tried to make THE JOURNAL see if I could learn to make them to. because you make it look so easy! it was hard to make! but it was a fun project!
I'm definitely going to try this! I have a boot company and ball glove company in town that will give me their leftovers, so hopefully that'll work for it!
If you have any furniture stores near you that sell leather furniture, you may be able to talk to them about getting some of their scrap either cheap, or free. My dad has to do service repairs on furniture all the time, and an up side to that is I get worn leather that may have a cut in it, or a scratch, but I get it absolutely free. I don't get to be too picky with colors, but I've spent maybe $40 on leather total, but I have a closet with several boxes of leather. Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to check out a scrap yard, if you could get leather from the seats of a junker car, that could also be a good source, might have to pay a little, but I can't imagine it being too expensive considering it's likely to be extremely used and worn.
this is a great up-cycling idea, my wife has at least 3 pairs of old worn out boots she never wears and i want some leather bound books on the shelf
It's always a good idea to ask her permission first. lol.
Heh, it really would be a *traveler's* journal if you've walked in those boots.
Well the boots were second hand, so
Someone did wear those boots since they were second hand so in a way it is still a travelers journal
Amazing and beautiful!!!
Thank you 😊
Damn, this is pretty awesome! Never thought about using leather from boots! I should definitely look into this.

Ok can u turn a book into boots now
LMAO
보석Nat
Or a pair of gloves?
Knowing her she probably can!
😂
Them boots would be tiny!! 🤣😜
I need you to open an Etsy store and take all my money 😍
I think they sell some of the products in the videos on ebay occasionally
Weirdleftovers me to.....!!!
I agree
remaking boots to be more in my style vs making awesome note book
me: *panic in steampunk from poland*
I've been cutting up old leather coats and skirts for making leather bags for years, but hadn't thought of boots. Thanks for the idea!
Iv been collecting sofa leather you get loads and you get some nice worn-out bit
@@beacook8421 That’s a great idea! Thanks 🤗🐝❤️
This idea, recycling clothing for book leather, is ingenious! i've been tackling the same problem and it didn't even occur to me!
This is a great way to use unwanted boots, especially leather, and recreate a traveler's notebook. Turned out beautiful.
I used leather from skirts and coats, but now I will look for boots also, it is thicker for the traveler's journal. Love it! Thank you.
Love how resourceful and real you are! Deserve all your success

Wow what a beautiful journal! Such a clever idea. I have never thought to use old shoes/boots for this but I will now! Thanks for the idea.

How creative is that??? Looks GREAT !! LOVE IT! ❤️ Would never have thought of that.
Thank you! I am doing the same with a deconstructed leather jacket and needed inspiration.
Absolutely fantastic! Great teaching and beautiful journal!
I’m glad I found your channel. I have a pair of white leather boots in my craft room and I was wondering what to do with them. I love your book projects. I’m now looking for a book press.
this is such a good idea and you didn't waste anything and your ability to make something is beautiful
I think it really looks like a traveller would have made this on his way to an adventure.
Love the result AND it's practical in more than one way!
Marthha you have great English and express your ideas wonderfully❣️❣️ thank you for sharing 🌹
You are so talented!!!! I think I will try this first and the tome books after!!!!!
Oh, I've once made a book cover for my LoTR out of my mom's old suede boots, and your Traveller's Journal looks quite similar, exept my cover has a beads mesh on the spine and more variable embrodery. Upcycling is really fun to do!
I love this soooo much. Next time you should try tea staining the pages, it would look super cool
This looks so cool! Love the patchwork design!

Leather is an amazing material for upcycling, since it often looks even cooler when distressed and reassembled 👍
This looks great, and it ended up with much more character than if you had begun with new leather. Resourceful and stylish!
I cut some boots I never wore ages ago, I had a few ideas for it, but this is awesome. Thanks!
Thanks for this video. I have an old pair of boots that can't be repaired and I wanted to make a journal from the leather. This was so helpful!!!
Great job! I have made notebooks out of leather bags but never thought to try boots. 😊
Great idea for recycling! I think an improvement could be to design it as a cover for regular notebooks, so you can change the book out for a new, when the old book is full. And maybe add a pocket for cut outs, photoes and a pen.
Such a fantastic idea, I’m going to make one. Thank you so much for inspiring me 💙
That’s awesome! How creative... girl you’re good! Thanks for sharing ☺️😊
Oh my god, that’s so awesome! I’d love to have that. Thank you for the tutorial I enjoyed it a lot.
I really like how this kind of book uses recycled leather rather than using new leather.
Using leather from shoes and bags is an excellent idea. Your books are beautiful.
So gorgeous and unique!
The idea is very creative! Hope we will see more of this recycle journal in the futur?
Wow, that sure took allot of work to do all this. It looks great, well done !
Really nice! I like this way better than the tome!
Wow. Very creative & a lot of work to be giving away for free.
Love this journal so much! 😊💕

Beautiful work, girl! 😊
As usual, so creative and amazing!!🖤
I’ve been waiting for someone to do this
Looks fabulous- I work with second hand $10 or under leather jackets, skirts, dresses etc.... it’s fabulous and a lot more cheaper than new leather
WOW...So very nicely created!!! Great work & idea! Keep creating the awesome crafts...🙂👍🏻
you´re really great.. in my country you find leather everywhere and you can buy it very cheap.. love your bopks
I loved it I loved it from the beginning till the end, awsome thumbs up to you girl.

Another way to find leather is thrift stores--old leather jackets, purses and items that have a large surface would be great! Love this! :)
Que paique.te quedo fabuloso.bello.

Gosh, you guys, this is amazing creation. I wish I could have had this one. But, it's okay. I'll just have to make one for myself.
