I don’t understand people getting upset about repurposing an old book for a journal. It is being used and useful in a beautiful manner. A pocket book like this is a wonderful gift! People read books online and on tablets these days, so old books are not being read as much. Repurpose! Thanks for sharing your lovely project! 🌸
Oh, I understand why! As someone who writes, every time I rip apart a book for reuse my heart breaks for the author! I know how they have poured their soul into their work. Every time start a new book I say a silent “I’m sorry” to the author! (BTW, Rumer Godden is a lovely writer. I’ve enjoyed her work over the years.)
@@BonesAndButtons but that book can be read online, on an iPhone, on an iPad, on a tablet. So the printed books are getting thrown away. I am just saying that I find it beautiful to make something pretty and reusable out of an old book versus having it end up in the dump. The written word is beautiful. Not disputing that. I agree.
I have to agree...I worked for a charity shop, and the number of books that were disposed of was so sad. Yes..there are readers of books left in the world, but to re-purpose 'unloved' books is wonderful. Imagine an 'out of date' book filled with beautiful goodies?...eg, ..a gardening book where you can put seed packets in the pockets = yes please :)
@@TwistedArtdesigns Me too! I'm absolutely addicted to making junk journals and altered books! So much fun!
I too felt that way for a long time until I discovered how many books are just gone in the trash…we give them a chance to be held and cared for again…the spirit of the author remains in the book…great old books can be rescued and kept on your bookshelf…enjoy this journey 🌻
People get upset about the silliest things. There are SO many legitimate reasons to be upset: neglected and abused children, starvation, violence, etc. Instead, we can appreciate the beauty and therapy this altered book lesson creates.
You are awesome! As an AVID Book reader and retired English teacher, I love seeing old books being repurposed instead of being trashed or burned. These author's words have been saved digitally for a life time, and now can have another life with someone who may not have read their words. Just a bit of text can inspire someone to search for the full text and read it! Love your channel and your incredible creativity!
People need to understand, books that are sold at library sales or charity shops or give-aways have been given death sentence. If they are not rescued and up cycled they are not granted a second life! I love up-cycling old books and making something beautiful for others to enjoy!
Thank you!!!! That is absolutely correct!
@@TreasureBooks dumps the books onto the floor giggles runs off 😂 😂 😂 😂
My sentiments exactly!
❤
exactly.
Natasa, you are such a beautiful person. You have a loving soul. Anyone who has such compassion for a book, ' never making it's destiny,' has an incredible love in their heart. Thank you. You truly bring sunshine to my day. Love. X
Thank you so much Sherrie :)
Thank you for this!! Very inspired!! I am still in the "go out and thrift buy everything and anything!" stage. I'm trying to create, but not quite there yet. This was a great video. Thank you SO much. Love, love, love the ending! 😂
This is the best altered book tutorial I’ve seen. Embellishments we’re great too. Thank you ❤️
Thanks so much 😊
I agree❤
How is this women so detailed and generous. Again thanks for sharing your blessings!
Thank you so much 😊
Loving this!! So many different ways to make pockets!! I am one of those that doesn't like to cut up books. But, I once you pointed out the details of the books, and the type to use, I don't have such a problem. I love the way you were saying how you are going to give it some purpose and not just totally give up on it. 💕 There are other ways to make these albums, if folks really don't want to do that to a book. But, I sure do like these ideas on what to do with the pages for storing embellishments.
Thank you so much for all the little tips for the altered books. Very helpful. Charity shops and libraries that can't re-sell unwanted books send them to be pulped, or even worse, landfill. By upcycling and re-using, you are extending the life of the book. Thank you for sharing your skills and preventing waste. Since watching your channel, I have been more careful to consider possible reuse before recycling. Keep up the good work!
“I might read a few sentences to make it feel better.” You are so cute!!
I really love your ideas… but your personality is just charming and sweet and you are a joy to watch!
hehe thank you so much Sharon :)
I laughed so hard when Natasha said she would read a few sentences to make it feel better 😂
Best part of the video!! LOL
I thought that was so cute too!
😊
You make me smile. I agree it has fulfilled it's purpose very beautifully.
Awesome book! Great tutorial. Thank you for this amazing video 💖
WOW. You really hit it out of the park with this one. My niece has a new interest in making altered journals after seeing some of the ones i have done, and now i know exactly what i will give her for Christmas. I think i will make a book of pockets like you did on your tutorial, and i will put twice the amount of pages. Then make all the pockets as you did. THEN flip the book over and starting with the back cover which flipped is now the front cover i will make all the pockets and embellish them to give her an idea on how to use her new found pockets. Thank you so so much for your wonderful creativity. I will also let my niece know that you are the one who had all these terrific ideas and give her your channel name. THANK YOU !!!!
Very neat idea. I loved the explanation at the beginning about how to find the right books. I thought all books were bound, but apparently I didn't know the meaning of the word until this video. :)
Hehe all books ARE bound. I just kept messing up and saying "bound" instead of SEWN!!
Thank you for this tutorial! I've been playing, then pausing and cutting, then playing again. Tis is one I'll come back to time and again. Thank you especially for your clear instructions.
So brilliant! I see so many books thrown in the bin so this is precious. I used a book that was square so some of the folds I couldn't figure out but I just kept folding and found some other neat solutions:) I am so impressed! This will help me with my junk journaling as well! Thank you!! Wonderful tutorial, I am over the moon!🌙
I LOVE this tutorial!! It finally made me realize that I don’t have to copy the style of the creator of the tutorial. My style is quite different but your great explanations and examples made me feel that I could make a journal I am proud of sharing. You are very gracious to provide your diagrams for making your great pages. Your variety of designs make the journal more attractive and inspiring than any I have seen. I can actually picture myself doing this now and having fun. You are an excellent teacher and video maker! Thank you!!!
I understand your view on unwanted books. I've been an avid reader and book lover my whole life but the thought of a book being completely destroyed is terrible! I use broken books or those headed for the bin and we're giving them another life! It's heartbreaking that your book was never even opened! It can now be loved!
I worked in a charity-shop It was my job to dispose of old books. I threw away around 50 books a month or more. People have brought books en masse sometimes. Nobody can and wants to read such quantities, especially old novels or outdated non-fiction books! It's a wonderful way to make JJ out of these books.
To be honest, I hate it when people buy brand new books (cheap) to destroy. I'm all for destroying discarded books, old books that nobody wants to read anymore and second hand books, or books that are falling apart. But new books? I would never!! Haha
Tremendous tutorial - thank you! So many ideas, such clearly explained method, yet thoroughly inspiring and freeing. Those things are hard to combine, but you did it so beautifully.
Thank you! I am going to attempt making these for Christmas gifts for family. This book is so special and would be a one-of-a-kind treasure for someone who receives it! ❤️ Kristina
I am so grateful for you. So generous and such a warm presence. Thank you!
Thank you so much Veronica :)
I grabbed an old book I had laying around and followed your tutorial this afternoon. I had so much fun cutting, folding and gluing. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wonderful! Thank you Lisa :)
Off I go to find the perfect book for yet another one of your amazing projects. Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial 😊💚
It’s a wonderful way of giving an old, discarded book a new purpose. Thanks for the great tutorial 😊
Thank you so much for watching Dragana :)
Thank you so much for this video!! I'm inspired by all these great ideas, you are a great teacher and as a beginner I love to learn from you. Greetings from Germany 👋😍
Thank you so much!
Came across this video last week and have made 2 already! I ripped a couple of pages in the 1st one and used washi tape for decoration and repair. The 2nd one was a bit of a cheat. Jessica Seinfeld wrote a cookbook Deceptively Delicious that's spiral bound...so no bulging.
I'm loving this pocket journal, though, that humble title doesn't do this fabulous book justice. Thanks for the ideas, the tutorial and your willingness to share.🤗
Thanks so much for sharing the type of book ideal for an Altered Journal. I was about to teach a class like one I took years ago, but wasn’t educated on the ideal book to use for this purpose! Your videos seem to be timely in more ways than you can ever imagine. Thanks!
Wow this is such an info packed, gem of a tutorial.
You must have invested quite a bit of time, planning, testing, and editing as well as creative talent 🦋 in this video ... brilliant effort 👏
Thank you sooo much 😘
I can't wait to try this! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful creations.
Edit: I did this yesterday! So much learning and fun. Starting to decorate it today. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ 54:49
Thank you so much for the inspiration; you have such a sweet spirit.
Love this idea!
All I can say is……Thank you!!! Absolutely, wonderful job
Thank you for this tutorial! So very explanatory and the drawn diagram is a huge plus. The possibilities are endless.
AWSOME! A great teacher. Love all of your projects.
Thank you so much!
I loved this video and I made my pocket book while I watched you make yours. I had to pause the video a lot but it was great to do it this way. I also loved how you explained the differences with how the books are bound. I found this very helpful. I work in a university library and the books I'm using were going into landfill. I'm delighted I can give them a second lease on life.
Thank you so much. Its quite sad how many books get destroyed, but what can you do......
This is so awesome. I love it Natasha. And you are an excellent teacher. You are easy to follow along with.
Wow, what an awesome beginning of a tutorial am sitting here this morning with my cuppa just catching up, my goodness how precise the beginning of this was so informative, NOW I KNOW what I have been doing wrong its ALL the little details you explain that make a difference of understanding, so now I have to wait till tonight to watch the full tutorial, you are giving this book a second chance and what a transformation....tfs my friend
Oh thank you so very much Christa. Your channel name is so perfectly apt for this project :)
I just cant wait to get a book so I can make one of these I love it!
Thank you for showing me how to make this altered book. I am totally on board.❤
Thank you so much!!!
This is an amazing altered book. So amzing.
Thank you, this is a great way to store ephemeral that I get from other people. It’s perfect.
that is true, our library tears up and destroys many books each week and we have a very small library. I have even called university libraries and they have this same process. this is a wonderful way to keep books alive.
Thanks so much for this tutorial, Natasa. I was inspired and did this yesterday, used an old coffee table book, which of course, the pages are huge😆 But I am very happy with the outcome. Now I still need to embellish it. Love your videos, thanks for sharing, happy crafting🤗
Thank you so much Dorothy :)
I am making my first altered book just now so this is super for inspiration, thank you for sharing.
wow, I love this. I havent done any paper crafting in years but this project makes me so excited I am definitely going to try it. Thank you, watching from Brasil.

I made one of these following your video. Thank you so much. I just love it. I'm be making more. I made it as a journal to use.
I will do this on the book I made. I love all these ideas. Thank you.
Love, Love, Love this Journal ❤
Thank you for sharing I want to alternate a book but I have started on a notepad as a journal first to get my confidence and gather ideas too
I absolutely LOVE this tutorial! Everyone can do this and learn from it and the way you taught it!!! Thank you so much for sharing this! I just found you and your channel! I watched the video where you told about your childhood! You have had an amazing journey!
Thank you so much 😊
I watched this today cause I’m working on one with Cindy A. Lewis. Your pockets are beautiful.
Awesome! Thank you!
I absolutely love this video. I am going to make one of these books, too.
i think that you are a design genius! so inspiring!
Thank you! 😊

Theola
Thank you Theola ❤️
Thank you for sharing your creations.
This is fabulous! Thank you, merry christmas
Thanks for sharing how you made this. Of course the journal like this sold in the blink of an eye. I'm not surprised. I pray that you and yours are doing well. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Thank you so very much Becky :)
I love looking at and in every pocket! Kids would love to make their own too. That would be a great project They could clean their rooms and look for things to tuck in all of those pockets. Just sayin’. 🙌🏼👍❤️
I love this idea! This is my next project.
I give you a grade of a A+ Plus the video was inspiring the tutorial was superb so creative design. This looks like so much fun one of the best tutorial videos and so inspiring I have not seen one of this quality in a really long time I really want to try this. Looks like one of the projects you just have to have a little patience and not being a rush after all good things take time. Now to try to find the book. Thinking I might try to find some old Reader's Digest or thick magazine to practice first or even a thrift store large child's book easier to practice on a large book for trying to do it on a nice vintage book
its a great idea to have the class do in the art room.
So gute Ideen für ein Buch aber auch als einzelne Pockets um es in ein Jounal einzufügen.👍🙋♂
Natassa...you are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING GORGEOUS LADY!!!...love this video so very much...Huge huggles sweetheart and loads of love....Maxxii-Michelle....Perth....Western Australia xxxxx
Thank you so much!!
I did something I always do since I was a wee one in elementary. I moved along without waiting for instruction. 🤦🏻♀️ I didn't start ripping pages from the middle. 🤷🏻♀️ I should have known better as I was sent to sit in the hallway when I started that clock ahead of the rest of the class by putting the numbers before listening. What was worse was my bullies copied from me and were sent right along. LoL ack! Thankfully no bullies here and hopefully my book won't be too awful. Just a little pocket heavy in the rear. Maybe a sign of good things to come! 😊 Praise be. ✋❤
Thanks for sharing this video. I have altered two books while following other videos you made. However this one was more helpful for explaining the page removable. I’m off to find a “better” book to alter following this! I love to see your methods and your thought process, again thank you!💗
How interesting regarding the different styles of binding books are. I'm sure the average individual is not aware even the avid reader like myself. This is a valuable thing. It is, sad when a book such as this particular "Thursday's child" a subject on children and it hasn't even been gone through. Wow. Great project and great instructor. Canada
Thank you so much Danuta :)
Thanks for sharing this beautiful journal 😊

I'm off to find a Unicorn book, or a dinosaur book and fill it with treasures for the grandies...a voyage of discovery..or fairies, dolls, flowers, planets.......:) All from my local charity shop ( we have three)
I love this 🥰 I will definitely make one, if I find a book that is suited for just this project 🤞 Most of the books in second hand store is glued, but I will look there and at the library 👏 Thanks for sharing 😊
What a gorgeous tutorial, very beautiful idea, I just love it ⚘💖💟, thanks so much. I will definitely make one💛💚
Thanks for watching :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial. You do an excellent job of explaining.
Thank you. A fantastic video.
Somepeople feel the same way about painting furniture. Usually, beautiful, well made furniture is not painted, but if someone has a piece not being used and it needs a new color to fit into an existing style, then it makes more sense to paint it and use it, then leave it "as is" but leave it in the attic. books are the same.
The book becomes a star in it's second life.
