    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.

    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.)

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 Imagine an 'out of date' book filled with beautiful goodies?...eg, ..a gardening book where you can put seed packets in the pockets = yes please :)

    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!

One is bringing joy, beauty, and happiness to someone by doing that. Not to mention making the book happy!😇 How tragic a book was never read! It must have felt so,so sad. Then Natasa came along and gave it a reason to live!. I really, really like this project. I will make it when I find the perfect book to rescue, have the time and make myself happy. Thank you for another excellent lesson😊.

I plan to insert photos and documentation / history for my favorite family vintage keepsakes to be passed on to my daughter so she knows why they are so dear to my heart.

    I am obsessed with books and think it is sacrilegious to throw them out or damage them, but this? I think it is wonderful to repurpose them into something that can be used for a gift or something to sell and given new life. I have literally thousands of books in my house just sitting there taking up room and i think making altered books out of them is a wonderful thing. It's sad that that one didn't even get read, but I'm sure plenty of the same book by the same author and title got read, but it isn't like the whole book was just wasted. Keep up the good work. You are making something beautiful out of a book that would otherwise just sit on a shelf doing nothing.

What a genius idea to take the book and make all pockets. This is so inspirational, you have a whole book of different pockets to use in all your journals. You could make one and keep as a reference book and then have the fun of making the second and decorating as much or as little as you want. You have the best ideas Natasha, love it.

I even have books that I loved and that I read twice. It has a value to me, but I am not going to read it a third time!

    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

    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. :)

    I finally did it - slowly watched and made a pocket book along with you. I could not find a sewn-bound book! A great substitute was a spiral bound book. In the US we can find these in the recipe book section of Thrift stores. Church women's groups often put together recipe books as fund raisers. With the spiral binding each page is separate, none are fastened to each other. Worked really well for this.

    Great teaching, methodical explanations, consistent format of videos - you've established a clear 'brand' for your channel and I really enjoy watching your videos, your processes and listening to your commentary. You make it look easy but there's a huge amount of preparation, planning and editing involved. This is a great way to turn materials and objects that could have been in landfill into creative inspirations. Thank you.

    Hi Natasha, Made my first tiny pocket book journal. It is so much fun. This video is the greatest. Discovering exactly how each book is bound. Before that I never noticed that some books are without sewing. It has given me a total new approach to books. As I am not a big reader at all. Now I just love them for their Junk Journal uses. Next...a visit to the library for books and magazines.

    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 !!!!

    I love this! And I say that as a book collector. I wouldn't do that on any book obviously. I'd be mindful that the book is a common one, like a very overly published classic for exemple, in a very common edition. Also some books will never be read anyways and will end up in the trash so it's great to save them and turn them into a beautiful thing. I am inspired to try! Thank you!
