Oh my goodness. I remember sitting in my son’s Kinder class (he’s 35 yrs now) having a tea party and listening to Love You Forever. I will forever remember that moment.❤️
Ok, now you've really started something! I just went to Goodreads and copied and pasted the thumbnails of several of my kids favorites to incorporate into their book charms for the journals I'm creating for each of them!! One, Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue, Fish, Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock, Tikki Tikki Tembo, Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type, Kay Thompson's Eloise, Where the Wild Things Are and Too Tired (by Ann Turnbull - my youngest's absolute favorite, lol!) Thank you Leah! You never fail to inspire me, I appreciate you so much!
Oh I love this question!!! 📚💖 lately since I’ve been collecting thrift store kids books or goodwill in the kids section for my kiddos I came across my favorite nostalgic kids books “The Berenstain Bears” I’ll never forget growing up and my start of loving the library that had these books I could check out at school and always loved mama bear papa bear and sister and brother bear, & especially their tree house! It brought comfort to escape as a child looking back from a broken home and til this day love them. My toddlers love them now and the books especially 🥲🐻🏡💖💙❤️💛. 80s baby here so I’ve a lot of cool old school books, but now thank you! I’m going to look up charms to make too of other sweet nostalgic books 🥹🎃love your content and big heart, thank you again for sharing your love of things old and new, a kindred spirit and community I love in you and others❤.
Those are so darling 🤩 Can’t wait to make some for my journals. If I could choose any book it would have to be Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Love that story.
Thanks you, that will be something great for my children (school) at the end of the school year for graduation. Definitely is a great Idea. Thanks you very much
The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland and Tha Labrynth! My favorite movies as a kid and still to this day! Both are great books and have a permanent place on my bedside table 😊 Love your videos, I am learning so much!
Love this idea! I can’t wait try it!!!! I would love a Richard Scary book What do people do all day or the velveteen Rabbit!Those were my favorites as a kid!
I absolutely love Jan Karon's Mitford series of books. I would create several charms depicting the iconic parts of the book (Barnabas the dog, the orange marmalade cake, etc.). Since the series has several books, one could have so much fun creating a journal per book. Thanks for sharing and inspiring me. By the way, I love your scissors!
A wrinkle in Time was a favorite when I was a kid. I love Anne of Green Gables and Harry Potter . I also love some good thrillers and creepy thrillers. Those would make for some interesting book charms 😂.
Super cute idea! I would make something from my tween/teen years. Nancy Drew, Babysitter's Club, Sweet Valley High. One of my favorite books as a child Miss Susie as well.
Ohhhh, you really did make this look easy!!! My 8 yr old picks The Wild Robot, and I pick either Memoirs of a Geisha or go retro vibes with Mickey Mouse's Picnic.❤
I need to make cupcakes and bribe my way into using my friend’s printer 😂 My dream book charms would be all the Richard Scarry books I loved as a child, especially Busy Busy Town ❤ Thanks for this tutorial!
I would definitely do the Twilight series, Outsiders, Anthem, Sundays at Tiffany's, Where the Heart is,and the classics like Emma, Wuthering Heights, etc. Maybe all my favorites. I saw someone turn their 2024 book list into lil books and shove in ornament to document their 2024 reading list . Cute idea.
oh my goodness! My daughter is a teacher and they are having a book character parade at her school and she is going to be the pink crayon from that book💖 She's even going to carry a little crayons on strike sign😂
Panda Cake by Rosalie Seidler. It is a treasured book from my childhood and it took me forever to track down as an adult since I couldn't remember the title. I'm so glad that I was able to find and share it with my kids, who also love it!
Thank you so much for the book charm idea. It's so fun! I'm a lurker stepping out of the shadows to say "hi!" 😊 Also, one of my favorite childhood book is "There's A Monster at the End of This Book" starring Grover. I own three copies and I don't care that I'm 57 and do so! 😂 And I do like your thrifting vlogs, as I am a thrifter as well.
Bravo, Leah! I am so going to do this for my next book club meeting. I had a hard time picking just one book: I would do the old man and the sea by hemingway. I love the simplicity of the picture and the different fonts.
I’ve made lots of mini books for my dollhouse. I would like to make the books I read for the year into little charms or make them to keep in a jar to commemorate my reading list.
What a great idea and it really is so easy for such a WOW statement. I would like to try it as the Better Homes and Garden series of binders, specifically the Recipe Book.
Very cute journal charms. Thank you for sharing the tutorial. I think I would turn golden books into charms, my favorite golden book was one that I loved as a kid, and it was the Red Riding Hood one. I think there was more than one Red Riding Hood, so probably the older version. I'd also do a Harry Potter one, but I think I have done those as a charm before or bought them as a charm. I don't think I would have a favorite. I like all little mini books. Maybe whatever the theme of the next journal I'm making, would be the theme of the mini book I could make as charms. Have a great week looking forward to your Vlog.
Fun tutorial! I would make mini Better Homes and Gardens Cookbooks! I have three copies of that book - the 1950s copy, my Grandma's 1970s copy, and my mom's 1980s copy! (Yes there is some variation to the recipes, the covers are different, and the photography inside is different!) ❤👩🍳📚
I would definitely have to recreate a Junie B. Jones charm!!! Those were my favorite books as a kid my mom ran around trying to find me every single one! I was a wild little girl just like Junie B. 😅
Oh my gosh was this fun to watch. My head was spinning with ideas. I would love to find the Grinch, Oscar the Grouch or anything Suess. My friend came for a 4 day visit and I set us up to make dangles. We made about 100. They are nothing like yours, which are ALL BEAUTIFUL!! But YOU inspired me on your short. The clinking sound got me. TFS and inspiring ❤
Oh my goodness, TYSM for sharing this. I want to run home and make some RN !! ☺️ I would want to do Charlotte's Web OR A Christmas Carol. 😊 But I want to make soo many book charms now P&P, Father of the Bride, The Portrait of Dorian Gray, & The Counte of Monte Cristo would be fun to make. thanks again 💖
I love the book Santa Mouse. My kids always left out cheese for Santa mouse. I just remember those times when they were young and we read the book and left out cheese. Memories. I would love to make a mini book of that.
Thanks for this video Leah. I can’t want to make some Christmas book mini charms for the holidays. I would turn a retro 80’s Strawberry Shortcake book into a mini book charm if I could pick any 🥰.
So cute! I'd love to do a whole little bookcase of tiny book covers but it would take forever (i read a lot). In the meantime maybe i'll do one of my fav childrens books - Catwings. Thx for the tutrial.
I’d create The Little Red Hen. I have very clear memories of my mom reading it to me when I was very young. She passed when I was in my 20s.😢. Miss her!
I’m starting my gratitude journal for November. These charms will look cute on it. 😊I’m looking forward to see what Christmas book charms you are making! ❤ I would make a little women book charm or a little house on the prairie book.
I love Richard Scarry books. I read these to my children when they were young. And even painted the walls of a nursery at my old church back in 2006. We painted different scenes from the books. The kids loved it. But as a child, I loved Chicken Little and The Little Red Hen. I just loved those two books and still do. These book charms are so adorable. You’re making me crazy 😜 with all these cute charms. I am constantly looking out for anything little that I can make into a charm. 😁Thanks for sharing. ❤️😘🤗💕
Love these lady!!! ❤ I need any retro Christmas mini books, and Thumbelina if we are being super specific. (can’t wait to see what November brings 😉). Cheers to another month of crafting and inspiring all of us!
I would make a Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day book charm or The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, both were childhood favorites of mine. I'm looking forward to see the next Vlog. Thanks Leah! 🥰🥰🥰
So cool! I can’t wait to make some of these! I’ve been making charms out of the tiny toys my now 19 year old daughter used to play with! She is the 1st generation of the blind box, so we have a ton that stuff. :) Love this video!
I just found your channel and am in love with your junk journal ephemera and charms! I would make ANY Wizard of Oz book as I am a collector of all things Oz! Also Little Women would be lovely!
These would make great book club gifts! Finding the covers of the books read during the year. Probs fav book(s) would be any Dr Seuss book or The Chronicles of Narnia collection Thanks for sharing this easy tutorial !
Also my daily journal that I’ve been doing for years always includes a gratitude portion. It helps keep the cares and anxieties of life, in perspective
Live these charms! I think I would choose Green Eggs and Ham because my Grandmother loved to read that one to all of us grandkids. Brings back great memories♡
Hi. Leah thanks for this video. These are adorable. I'm not sure if you ladies have seen the Dr Seuss book erasers at the Dollar Tree. They perfect for charms. Have a great day!
I'm going to make a twilight one even though it's not my favorite I just want it 😂. I used to read alot of Wattpad now all I read is school and kids books. I can't want to see ur vlog!! Tysm for the video
I'm actually going to create this book into a charm now - thanks for asking!!! The answer, for me, is Eloise! The book about the little girl who lived in the Plaza Hotel in NYC. I used to take my four year old there for special occasions when we lived in NYC for 3 years back in 1986-89!!
These are so adorable! I can see people using them on gifts or even as a tiny Christmas ornament. Love the idea and thank you for sharing. :o) If I could turn any book into a charm I think I'd choose Little Women or Pride and Prejudice. :o)
Are you there God it’s me Margaret, received it as a gift when I was 9, I still have it 51 years later. I would also love to make Little House on the Prairie Books, the covers are beautiful
I love fantasy books! So i would chose my favorites and classic, like brandon sanderson or robin hobb. Or cult movie books like the one in hocus pocus!
Oh my goodness. I remember sitting in my son’s Kinder class (he’s 35 yrs now) having a tea party and listening to Love You Forever. I will forever remember that moment.❤️
