I never knew I could use scissors to help fold a piece of paper. This will help so much with various projects. Thank you!!!

All are my favorite! I especially love the leather technique! I will have to try it. My daughter and I have always been fascinated with crystals and geodes. Happy to see your crystal book! To repeat myself another enchanting video! Thankful and grateful for your videos!

I loved all of them, specially the hard cover ones.

I love your "leathering" technique! I will definitely be using that on my projects. Lovely simple idea for covering books too.

Thankyou so much! It really works a treat and I've even started to make different books sketching into the 'leather' and it makes a lovely embossed look!! I'll share it soon! 😊🌲✨

They are all so magickal but the one I love the most and I stated in the video for it was your book of shadows. That can out lovely. I’m going to try your method for that one as soon as I can get what I need to do it. Love love love your videos . I never watch videos without fast forwarding but for some reason I’m able to watch yours straight through. I think it’s because there is no, what I call jibber jabbing. You stay on track and do not stray from the mission. Lol. I really enjoy listening to your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your magickal work with the world.

Hi Dawn that is sooo sweet thankyou so much. I know what you mean about the 'jabber' I learn from some videos not to put that in 😂😂 it's so funny that you say that today when I have literally just uploaded a 'new book of shadows' makeover!! Thankyou so much for such a beautiful comment - it means so so much - I hope you have a lovely day! Blessed be 😊🌱🌳💚

Love your video! The Books Look Beautiful! I especially loved your softback books with the illustrated covers. I noticed your Gorgeous Geod as you were showing the finished hard back Books. I Love Geodes! I have been collecting Rocks and Earth Gems since I was a little girl and Geodes are my favorites! 💚💙🌎🌍🌏💙💚

Geodes are so magical aren't they?! I love how they are so natural and have such a contrasting hidden suprise in the middle of them!!! Love looking for them on beaches too! Thankyou for a lovely comment sweet 😊🌳🤍🌲💚

I've always felt my witchy book collection looked rather strange compared to the rest of it, but it never once occurred to me to do this. I'm definitely going to try my hand at these. :-) I was taught in school how to make a paper slipcover for my hardcover textbooks, though I've forgotten it now. I might do that for my hardcover books (not the ones purchased blank) once I either look it up or ask a younger relative. These are so beautiful!

Wow they all look so good 🙂 I feel so inspired to remake all my books now..

I love absolutely all your videos, I am binge watching them these days, everything is so magical and inspiring and you are sooo sweet! 🥰

Another cool option for the clay: paperclay or airdrying clay! 😍

Such a great idea. I would have covered the whole front of the crystal book in just Crystal's that would be neat

I like the first leather look book the best. Love your technique to do leather I am going to try! Thank you

Love how you’ve done all of them. I especially love how you did the eye 👁 on the hardback book 💚

That was cool! I hand sew journals. I'll have to try the techniques on a couple of those.

@@AlwynOak oh I make them with a hard cover. I meant that I sew the pages.

The hard back books are so unique!!

Beautiful and creative idea

Already watched the book of shadows makeover and loved it - especially the leather look technique, it has already given me ideas on future projects. I'm just starting out with witchcraft so am using a very basic notebook I had laying around. I like the last book you did with the eye and the black and gold. I've seen really nice notebooks with gemstones on the cover on etsy and ebay for almost $30, and I can't justify paying that for a notebook.

Masking tapes are also great option to create the "leathery" effecf

The eye. It's so cool.

I love them all! Again I think you could sell your gorgeous diy goodies, they’re amazing 🤩✨🧚‍♀️💖

I like the three center books actually I love them all

Both types were great book makeovers. Again im inspired. 🌿🌻

at the moment I'm creating a cover for my book of shadows, using scrap book technique and stamps i got in a craft set bohemian style, it's looking good so far. I'm also getting back to nature and working on meditation in the mornings, I have to say it's really working for me.

I like the soft back book and the leather look with just crystals, you given me food for thought.s💖🐩🐩💖🐾🐾🐾👍👍🌹🌹🌻🌻🕊🌈

They all look amazing but I definitely love the hardback ones the most. this is so inspiring!

i can't say which book i like best they are all so perfect !!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Also, stencils!!! Omg stencils + gesso are great as a base

I love seeing you make new things. Hi from Lutz Florida USA

Great idea I just love it 🥰😊❤

I can't even begin to choose a favorite. These are so beautifully done and thank you for the inspiration. I totally understand how you felt about the outside of the book not really matching your style. I feel the same way with my new bookshelf and some of the books on it. Love your idea I will be doing this myself soon.

This is brilliant, going to try it on my crystal bible book. 🍄

Looooove that! The eye ... hmmmm!

So fun to catch up on these magical book transformations! I may try a small one in the future!🎇🇨🇦Happiest New Year to you!
