Put a cloth between the pliers and the book corners so that they don't scratch ☺ Great video!

Excellent tutorial! Very easy to follow and your journal is lovely. To avoid scratching the metal book corners, I cover the corners with a small piece of scrap cloth before clamping down with the pliers.

I put some fabric or you could use a napkin or something soft to put around the book corners before i crimp them down to avoid marks from the pliers❤ great video, happy crafting!

You can put some material over the wrench as a buffer as you squeeze the corners into place

Beautifully done- love the fabric on the cover

Glad I found you. Very well done. Look forward to seeing more 💕

Beautiful and looks easy. Great tutorial!

Place a piece of fabric under the pliers as you press down the book corners. That will prevent the corners from being scratched and misshapen. Great tutorial!

To keep the plyers from scratching put a thin small cloth on both sides of the metal. This is an old plumber's trick to keep from scratching faucets :)

Great explanations. Thank you!

This turned out so cute! I've been trying to make my own books and now I see a better way. Thanks for sharing

This is so awesome... Im definitely trying this... thanks for making it so simple 🤩👍

This is a neat idea!

Nice job...it's lovely. Thanks for this tutorial.

Super cute!!!

I know this is a few years old but I'm just getting into junk journaling so I've just started watching these. Anyway, ... you were asking about ways not to scuff the metal book corners and I wanted to let you know that they make jewelry pliers that have soft covers over them to prevent them from scratching the jewelry elements.

It came out so pretty 😊👌

I wish I had the patience. This is so beautiful

Very nice, pretty book, can't wait to see what you do with it! TFS

This was a great example of using fabric. I am so intimidated by the thought of having to sew in the signatures. I think it’s holding me back. I am very new to JJ. Thank you for sharing and inspiring. X-Susan

Hi Susan! I was intimidated at first too, but it is not as difficult as I thought. I have another video where I made a junk journal without sewing: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nn-s1NePnbWveNY.html. Maybe you can try this out first!

Can’t wait to see you use this journal. I just used this technique for my newest junk journal but, I took the spine completely out and replaced it with card stock paper.

@MalinaMak

Thanks! I haven't tried taking out the spine... Is the card stock sturdy enough?

Also, you can use the All to pre poke holes in the signature fold to make it easier for the needle to go through when sewing them to the spine❤

Just saw this video because I'm ready to do a cover like this. Thanks for quick, clear instructions for jogging my memory. Also, they sell jewelry pliers with small nylon blocks coating the pinchers that should protect the corners.

They make a pair of jewelry players that have rubber inserts on the prongs of the pliers. They work great for this.you can find them on Amazon for really inexpensively.

Have you tried slipping a strip of fabric between the pliers and the decorative corners to protect the metal from scratches?

How did you take the pages out of the book to protect the spine of the book please x

Those were beautiful papers you used. Do you know the name of the music one? I could see Discovery, but not the rest of it. I subscribed.

Hi Malina ,new subbie here from Canada. Thanks so much for this video, may I ask how do you attach the paper inside the cover over the fabric? Like right when you open the cover now ,you are going to add paper i imagine. What glue would adhere paper to the fabric parts?

@MalinaMak

4 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for your question! For attaching paper to the inside of the cover, I use some sort of liquid glue (like mod podge or pva glue). You can do a test on a scrap of fabric to make sure it will stick, but most liquid glue should work

Malina Loved your video, very easy to follow. Please can you tell me the name of the glue you used and the type of needle and thread used please x
