It might be easier to glue the gusset fabric on the outside of the cover before you put on the paper cover if you see what I mean great idea

That's a great tip to use the sanding block to smooth out and age the mod podge bubbles! I'm really liking these storage 'books' and am thinking they would be really cute to give with a handmade journal... decorate the storage book to match the journal, and attach a simple closure over the opening to hold the journal inside.

I love listening to you. You have an amazing personality. The crafting is a bonus. You make me want to create.

Love! Please more diy for junk journal storage. So fun!!!

2 years later! I did the whole thing with double sided tape. I also did cover with fabric as well. I made a larger storage folder with an Amazon box. Never thought I could make it, but went stoically on, and voila 1 hour later, I finished. 😅thanks Pam for all these videos. Making things I never thought I could possibly make. 😂

I so enjoy crafting with you because : 1- I always make a mess! (and no longer mind it) 2- Have fun being creative with you. 3- Finally using supplies I have had for years. 4- Using everything I have and not buying anything. Encourages me to be more creative. Thank you!

You have one of the best vocabularies I’ve heard in a long time!

I love this idea! My mom would probably cringe at a lot at these crafts because she is a retired librarian and bibliophile! I love books too, but I have NO problem tearing one up for the sake of art! As far as sewing the gussets to the book cover, you'd want to pre-poke all the holes for sewing and hand stitch it. You could probably machine stitch it, but I personally wouldn't want to risk missing the holes and messing up my machine. Love your videos!

You can spritz the paper with water before glueing that might help with the wet bubbles. Great idea!!

It is good that you share it with us when you struggle. Makes us not feel so bad. Suggestion : doing it over 2 days would be simpler. You glue one side, then wait until the next day to do the other when the 1st is stable.

Pam, you could totally turn these into purses! Add straps or handles, and a closure, then BOOM! A gorgeous, one of a kind purse! :D

I adore just listening to your voice Pam! And now I am hopelessly in love with that little bird!

I simply love watching you create! You really enjoy what you are doing and has inspired me to broaden my horizons! Thank you.

This is a great idea! I keep alo of my paper in frozen Pizza boxes.

I just don't have any books to do this. But I will watch for any I find. Great idea.

Those copper scissors are so beautiful! ✂️

Fitting oxymoron for stolen book yer using: UNBORED !!!! Have you ever been???? Hubby just got a shredder so I had to put up “NO TRESPASSING “ signs on My three rooms sewing/crafts/writing office. No entry and no snitching my scraps. My scraps equal my sanity. But in his Amazon Mail were two boxes with two generous spines and lovely overlap so pretty paper will be protected. Found an old Hermès bag that had survived a savage cat attack. 💼 handle will be lovely on my paper holder. TYFT

You make the coolest things! 😍

I'm making one of these using the box from my dog food. I may have went on a pocket making spree last night 👀, so now I need a place to store them 😂

i like this tutorial i feel inspired to try and take it a step further and see if i can make a purse like this

That’s a good idea! I will do that after my injury heal first. Thank you, Pam. Have a good day.

This is a great storage container. I may try a couple. I'm going to cover the spine with the same cloth used for the 'gusset', but I'll glue the fabric down on the outside of the cover to avoid all of the hassle of trying to get the fabric right on the inside of the cover. That would be a personal nightmare for me. It would also do away with having to try to gesso over the edges and spine too. If the decorative paper to use on the outside covers is too thin to glue smoothly over the fabric on the edges, I'll use chipboard, cereal box salvage, or manila (or heavier) file folders to glue the deco paper on before adding it to the outside. Thanks for sharing.

He he he . Chocolate is my friend. I lurv the technique with the cracks . And sandpaper is very handy TFS.

You are hilarious, so funny. I talk to my project and I dont make videos. Praise it when its working out and tell it off for being naughty ..... lol When you were gluing i wanted to dip my hand into the screen to help you out. But you had it covered. I love this idea, its going to be a big hit in crafting land on you tube. A huge thumbs up from me. well done!!!!!!!!

17:46 Ok Pam, I had a brainstorm while watching this old video. If you put a book or box inside the cover with the “width of choice” and almost as tall as your book cover, you can pull your flaps up and over, then apply glue where you need it, close the other cover on them to get them squished onto the glue and tada, gussets are done! Not sure if that made sense to anyone, but it sounds good in my head!

Brilliant Idea Pam Thank You For The Inspiration, Will Watch Part Two TYFS Hugs Lynn 🤗🦋🌸🌈🇬🇧

Smart idea Pam 🤗🥰😘

I was wondering whether you could have glued the fabric gussett to top and bottom and then put the text block (pages you removed) back in place to fold the gussett fabric onto it, place glue and then close book cover. Wouldn't this alleviate the need to use the ruler etc to make a tight connection between gussett and book cover?

That was pretty much my idea, except I was thinking you might not have the text block so was thinking of making a jig of sorts or use another book to drape the fabric over, with glue on the book or on the fabric....either way would work. But..... MY way is going to be even easier hahaha I'm not going to make one muahahashga not that way that is. I'm going to lay it down with the front cover being the lid and the walls and dividers will be cardboard to organize my little bits like washi, paper clips, pens, etc. 🤗

I liked yours so much that I subscribed to your channel. TFS

What a clever storage thingy - and looking GREAT aswell. Absolutely looooove this. If I ever get any time to craft again (have had the collie puppy in the house for 4 days...!) I'll try to make one. Good job, Pam! /Ditte

Hello Pam! Long time ago a professional cutler told me to clean adhesives from scissors and other metal blades like exacto knives with a little white vinegar on a piece of an old t-shirt or other lint free cloth. Reason: it will not pit or cause your blades to rust. Second suggestion is to use a citrus based cleaning oli found at most hardware stores or places like walmart. I use one called Goo-B-Gone

I love this!!! I’m new here and I can watch glue dry all day 🤣. I also thought a great big one with added handles would make a beautiful artist portfolio.

Great idea...tfs

I have used Mod Podge on large canvases where I put a poster on the canvas with the mod podge. When the bubbles popped up I just put a tiny pin hole in the middle of it and press the air out of the bubble. Smooths right out. 😁 but it is cool looking to sand them bubbles out!
