Nik, you're a veritable genius! From the unnecessary (but totally necessary) mitered corners, using wrapping paper to decorate the sides of the box, to the ribbon lift, I was/am in awe of all the little tricks I learned in this video. Thanks for an awesome project idea!
Another great project. Really useful if you have an embellished cover on your book that could be damaged rubbing on neighboring books when you take it off the shelf.
Nik...I love your detailed videos! "Just me being me" shows you really are a dedicated Booksmith where details are important! Those book boxes are as beautiful as they are useful.🤗😍
Liking the video before I even watch it because I know it’s going to be great! I always do a little happy dance (not literally, just in my head) when I see a new video pop up!
Have you ever made one of those boxes that actually look like a book? Would like it very much if you did a tutorial on that. Have been watching a lot of different ones but I would like to defer to you as you are as precise as I am. Thank you so much for all of your videos they are fantastic! Keep on going!
Fab! I can see so many uses for a sturdy box like that. It could also make a fairly mundane book gift look extra special couldn’t it. I pleased to hear your voice sounding much better - hope that reflects how you feel!
You make everything you do look so easy, I have been looking for a book box tutorial for ages, I handmade books for my grandkids Xmas presents so this is just what I needed, thank Nick x
I always thought I wasn't interested in box building, but after seeing this, I at least have to try it. Your lovely book is very deserving of the beautiful box.
I normally don't comment on videos, but this tutorial is awesome! I have several old books that I would like to protect and this seems like a great way of doing that!! Thank You!!!
I made a box for a huge old Bible and it was a nightmare! I wish I had used tape. I had glue everywhere since I had no idea what I was doing. I think your instructions were SO much easier than any I saw! THANK YOU!! I might actually try making another box for a different book.
Nik… one video a week is not cutting it for me anymore. Seriously, you need to do a weekly live video or something. Just turn on the camera while you work, doesn’t even need to be edited. Just a live Nik rambler. We needs it, man. We needs the “welcome back welcome back” more often.
that came out beautiful - what a lovely idea - and again lol your tutorials are so well done that i feel like i can actually do this!!! thanks Nik - and you sound so much better - hope you are feeling well xx
I wish I could put this box together as simply as you make it look LOL 🤣 But I will give it a go, because that's just a genius idea! Thanks so much for sharing, Nik! ❤
Many thanks for this lesson Nic. I have an Oxford Shakespeare that lost its slip box years ago and I’m now inspired to remake it. It’ll be less detailed than this but you show the basic principles.
Fantastic. Thank you for the clear directions. 🥰 Knowing how to customize the box size will be really helpful when I make boxes for my gift books and journals. 📚It just makes them look so much more special. 🤔I think I'll add a bit of a flap-closure to the inside box top (with a magnet on it and on the box side) so that it can close easily. People I know don't like the 'fussiness' of tying ribbons. I have some that are magnetic snaps and would work really well with this.
Love, love this!!! I was wowed by your attention to detail when you lined the last stripe of chipboard to compensate for the space between the spine and the box. This kind of experience is priceless!!! Thanks for your generosity!
Love this! Fab instructions and, the details are good. Makes total sense, I think. I was also drooling a bit over the book you made the book box for... what a beauty! Thanks, Nik, for the inspiration! :)
This was a great project and your voice is so soothing I watched it and fell asleep :) But I woke up and rewatched it again with coffee! Can't wait to try it.
Thank you, Nik! I make book boxes, but your technique is GREAT! Your videos are wonderful and the way you teach is amazing. I am doing to try making one this weekend .. I just bought a book to give to a friend, so this was perfect timing to see your easy-to-follow video!
I love boxes and I can think of several uses for a box the size you made. Your videos are always interesting and I learn so much from them. Of course I'm going to attempt to make a book box. I've been finding out that the projects are not as easy as you make them look. LOL 🤣
Beautiful work, as always! Love this book box so much. This comes at the perfect time, I saw a video for a corner tool by We R Memory Keepers and they showed a box like the one you made, but not how to make it using their tool! I really wanted to know how to make this kind of box - and now I do. Your method seems way more straightforward than I imagine it would be using that corner tool. Thank you so much for sharing!
Another beautiful project!! I love it!! I got a new Bible and it came in a box it has that ribbon in the center back does really help to get the book out of the case.
This is gorgeous as just a BOX. Though I might make it out of a little bit sturdier cardboard especially if I want to make a big one. It would be cool if it had a flap that you could attach a magnet to to keep it closed rather than the ribbon.
What a great tutorial! I love decorative boxes and now if I'm capable of making them... watch out honey I need a room added on for more boxes! Yeah this could be dangerous for me! Lmbo! TFS! Hugs from South Dakota.

Being over detailed is my jam, lol. It's one of the things I love about your channel. You are always very clear about the tiny details!
Same.💗
"It's just me being me" = and please never stop being you- I love your videos!
Mitered corners are a thing of beauty. We all know we can Sense Them even when they're out of sight! 😁
Nik, you're a veritable genius! From the unnecessary (but totally necessary) mitered corners, using wrapping paper to decorate the sides of the box, to the ribbon lift, I was/am in awe of all the little tricks I learned in this video. Thanks for an awesome project idea!
I am a lurker on your channel and rarely comment. But I need to tell you how brilliant you are! ✨️❤️ Thank you for sharing your incredible projects!
Another great project. Really useful if you have an embellished cover on your book that could be damaged rubbing on neighboring books when you take it off the shelf.
That's a good one, I hadn't thought of that!
Nik...I love your detailed videos! "Just me being me" shows you really are a dedicated Booksmith where details are important! Those book boxes are as beautiful as they are useful.🤗😍

Years ago I worked in the book repair department at my university and we sometimes made boxes… this process seems SO much easier than what I remember!
OMG THE RIBBON LIFT IS GENIUS. I've solved my book box problem!
Have you ever made one of those boxes that actually look like a book? Would like it very much if you did a tutorial on that. Have been watching a lot of different ones but I would like to defer to you as you are as precise as I am. Thank you so much for all of your videos they are fantastic! Keep on going!
How wonderful...I have collected boxes of various types all my life. Not a huge collection but now, hey sky's the limit. Thanks Nik!
Fab! I can see so many uses for a sturdy box like that. It could also make a fairly mundane book gift look extra special couldn’t it.
I pleased to hear your voice sounding much better - hope that reflects how you feel!
You make everything you do look so easy, I have been looking for a book box tutorial for ages, I handmade books for my grandkids Xmas presents so this is just what I needed, thank Nick x
Just as so many stated, love the “over detail” one of the many reasons I love your channel 💕
I always thought I wasn't interested in box building, but after seeing this, I at least have to try it. Your lovely book is very deserving of the beautiful box.
My goodness, is there anything you can’t do? Gorgeous.
I normally don't comment on videos, but this tutorial is awesome! I have several old books that I would like to protect and this seems like a great way of doing that!! Thank You!!!
Fabulous project!!! You being you is why we watch! 👍✌️❤️😊
I make a special time to watch your vids. I’m always pleased and inspired!🦌💌❤️📚🙏
😊
...and, here comes Nik with another hit!🤩You're a rockstar! 💖!
Thank you for sharing your brain with us.💙💙💙
It's like you read my mind! I want to make a box for a book I just made. Thank you.
Excellent project Nik! Thanks for clear directions.
Hallelujah❣️ Your video was just the cure that I needed after a rough day 💗 Those book boxes are beyond beautiful.
I made a box for a huge old Bible and it was a nightmare! I wish I had used tape. I had glue everywhere since I had no idea what I was doing. I think your instructions were SO
much easier than any I saw! THANK YOU!! I might actually try making another box for a different book.
Wow…so cleaver and beautiful

That’s a lovely book box. Nice wrapping paper!
I LOVE the papers! So pretty.
Thank you Nik!! This is beautiful and looks very doable thanks to your excellent instructions and demo!!
Thank you so much for this video. I am going to be making these for all the journals I make for gifts.

So lovely. And a great tutorial.
Great tutorial. I love your wrapping paper. It looks like it's heavy paper, almost a wallpaper weight. Beautiful boxes. Thanks for sharing.
I love how the book box turned out. I would need some practice as I am not as exact. It is a lovely way to keep a book.
I love boxes and have made a few over the last couple months. This will be another one to add to the mix! Thanks Nik!
Your projects are always quality craftmanship. Thank you so much, I love to make a gift that lasts.
So elegant and you make it look easy. This is Next Level packaging!
This is genius!! What a great addition to gifting a journal 😍 you make it look easy 😍 thank you for sharing
I love how you are over the details.
Absolutely brilliant, I love this!
Thanks for this, really love it ! You can use various knitting needles (2mm,3mm etc) as spacers.
Thank you very much, Nik ❤️
I love that gift wrap. AND the box. Thanks 😊 you sound like you are feeling better! ❤
Love this! Fab instructions and, the details are good. Makes total sense, I think.
I was also drooling a bit over the book you made the book box for... what a beauty! Thanks, Nik, for the inspiration! :)
Wow! Love it!
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing ❤️🇨🇦
This was a great project and your voice is so soothing I watched it and fell asleep :) But I woke up and rewatched it again with coffee! Can't wait to try it.
Love the finnish you achieve! I am trying to be more like you! Thanks so much 🍁🤗
Thank you 🌱💛

22:32 - Always.
Brilliant, Nik!! You make it so easy for us to do our own. It would make a good ephemera box too. Thankyou!
Love this Process, Thank you so much
Excellent video!
Now this is what I’m talking about. Beautiful
Iy sounds like you are feeling better. I'm glad. Thanks for this great tutorial!
Awesome. Thanks

Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Another beautiful project!! I love it!! I got a new Bible and it came in a box it has that ribbon in the center back does really help to get the book out of the case.
Brilliant
Lovely idea. I love the paper you chose. Thank you.
At 12:56 when Nik says "Where's my- oh." I felt that to my brains' core😭
This is gorgeous as just a BOX. Though I might make it out of a little bit sturdier cardboard especially if I want to make a big one. It would be cool if it had a flap that you could attach a magnet to to keep it closed rather than the ribbon.
Or maybe you can even try both😃
Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking do a box to fit some cross stitch patterns I have and this is going to be perfect 🥰
I love your book box, I cannot wait to make my own. ❤️
Thank you!
Thank you 😊😊😊
Good one!
