Hello Ms Amy, I'm so excited for this project. I'm crafting with you.👍👍👍
Yay!!! Thank you Elaine.💕
Hi. The ruler idea to tear out the pages is Genius. I love how nice it looked! Thank you for sharing. X
Thank you so much Sue. I haven’t made one in so long But do love them.❤️Amy
Great idea of leaving that little bit of book page to keep the spine from falling apart. Thanks for the tip! Looking forward to this series
Wonderful! Thank you so much. I’m glad you like it.❤️Amy
I really like watching altered books. Can't wait to see your creative additions 👏👏😊😊
Thank you Dawn. They are fun.💕
😊 Thank you 😊. Good morning ☀️😃. I hope 🤞 are having a great week.
You too. Thank you ❤️
So glad you are doing an altered book. Will get mine as far as yours is before I watch part 2. Thank you for this series Amy. ❤️⭐️❤️
Yay!! Thank you for joining me.💕
This is a nice change of pace. I have never made an altered book. Thanks for sharing your ideas 💕😍🌴
They are quite fun and I forget about them. Thank you Annette.💕Amy
So happy your doing a altered book, my first one came out to bulky and didn’t like it, and I just used scraps to create it; a test run. TYFS of not tearing the page all the way. I like making different pockets and I also watch Carol Laws, she has great ideas too. Have a nice evening. 👍🏻🌻🌻🌻😻
Thank you so much Pat. She is so kind. Altered books are very fun. Blessings, Amy❤️
Love your explanation of how to tear our pages. Back to square one for me to alter my book.
Oh don’t start over on my account. It’s just how I do it. Not the only way. Thank you.💕🙏Amy
Really informative Amy! Can’t wait to see you decorate it with the Mushroom papers, love them! 😊❤️🇦🇺🍄xxx
So kind. Thanks you my friend.💕
Oh MAN - this is what I’ve been HOPING for. My dream has come true. 👏👏👏
Yay!! Thank you 💕
Great fun! I did a Halloween book years ago where I glued pages together and it is like having sheets of heavy cardboard to decorate!! I really like this idea much better -- thanks so much for sharing!
Yes! My first attempt that way was a mess, as you saw. This works much better. Thank you Faye.💕Amy
I love my metal ruler but haven’t used it to tear pages to begin an altered book. Thanks. I enjoy and am inspired by your craft.
Thank you so much.💕🙏Amy
Thanks to your video, I'm starting my altered book, too!! TY for the 'medal ruler' tearing of the pages--so much easier, neater & uniform for all the tears TY TY TY
Woohoo! Enjoy! Thank you, Amy ❤️
Fantastic idea I 💖 it
Thank you ❤️
Thanks for explaining everything so well
Thank you very much.💕
Thanks for sharing. I've been wanting to tackle one of these!!
Woohoo! They are quite fun. Thank you.💕Amy
I plannen to make 1 for a long time now, but never got to it. So I like how you explain why the do's and don't work the way they do.
Thank you very much. We will see how this comes out.😁🌸
@@craftycat7212 I am sure it Will be as beautiful as always
So happy 😊to see your video making an altered book. I did Natasha video which was beautiful but had a problem trying to find the book she suggested I’m going to try your method with a smaller book for the first time so if it’s a mess my time won’t be wasted. Looking forward to seeing how you decorate your altered book. Thanks for sharing 🥳💕
Thank you so much April. Enjoy ❤️Amy
Amy, you explained everything so well! I like your method much better than some I’ve seen. I’ve made a few which i love how they turned out. I’m going to use your method for my next one, thank you so much for doing this and for sharing, i so appreciate you! I’m so looking forward to this book build. Take care my friend, ❤️🤗
Wonderful! I’m so glad you like it. Thank you for your support.💕Amy
Hello Amy, it's been quite a while since I have done an altered book. I have a great book to do one it also has glued pages, I leave a bit of the torn pages too. Will look forward to seeing you work on yours. TFS
Thank you Denise. They are quite fun.💕Amy
I use my razor for the glued in books because the scrappy stuff bothers me a little. Although I think if I was doing a grungy one if the scrappy stuff was inked it would look great! Hmmm something for me to remember! Oh brilliant to use your ruler! I had not tried that before!
Luckily the scrappy stuff gets covered. Except on the pocket I messed up on.😂 Thanks Jovi.❤️
I don’t think it’s a snoozer! I’m so glad you showed how to do it your way. Thank you.
Thank you Gloria.💕
Hi Amy! Been a while since I’ve done an altered book too. Been stuck in a bit of a rut lately so I’ve just been making ephemera but this is inspiring me to get out my books and get started! Thanks so much. Can’t wait to see how yours turns out! 💖💕Hugs!
Thank you Junell. They are very fun but I always forget about them.❤️Amy
I prefer your method. Thank you.
Thank you.❤️
Hi Amy😊
Ha, I did try this years ago with the mod podge and it did not end well. Love your process and its looking good, thanks for sharing. 🤗💕
Yeah, mod podge is a no. Thank you 🙏 ❤️Amy
I have an idea for you regarding your beloved Paris altered book. Take a very sharp knife and cut away all the pages. Then take some 1” fabric strips the length of your page height and glue these on two pages at a time leaving 1/2” gap between the pages. Do this to the front and back of the pages. When everything is done and dry stitch these two page signatures to a new spine. You know how to do the rest to get these back between your book covers. I think it would be an interesting experiment that will pay off in the end.
I’m glad you’re doing this project since I plan on having one of my art classes do an altered book project, and the more examples I can show them the better.
Wonderful idea I just don’t think I could sew through those pages, they are so thick and hard. Blessings, Amy❤️
@@craftycat7212 you would be sewing through the fabric strip that is glued to two pages. The gap in between the pages should allow for a needle to pass through. BTW, you convinced me with your stencils and I bought two sets from you just a bit ago. Such a great idea! You should do more of these stencils.
I've made. But now I know a better way. Tfs
Thank you so much Bette-Ann.❤️
Hi Amy, just wanted to say how much I love the snipet for the spine. I’m always struggling to find something pretty for that space.
Yeah it was a bit of a puzzler for me as well because I didn’t want to cover all the orange. Glad you like it.💕🙏Amy
Yeah, there's definitely no right or wrong way to do an altered book. You just have to go with the flow and see how many pages need to come out! But I do love how they turn out Amy!
Me too! Thank you so much Nancy. They are so fun.❤️Amy
Perfect timing for me as I'm starting my fall gratitude journal using a Reader's digest book. Thanks for a new idea, for me, of tearing out the pages. Looking forward to creating along! 🍁🍄🦋
Woohoo! Thank you. So glad you like it.❤️Amy
For you, it’s cat hair….for me, it’s dog hair, LOL. I have an altered book I’m working on….honestly, Im not sure i will make another one because I’m not crazy about the results. I got a cinch machine and found these really cool books (there was a set of 11 @ 99 cents each) that have a faux (I think) leather cover that is flexible and just feels yummy. I plan on doing both cinched journals and sewn in signatures with them. They are the perfect size for journals!
Well they sound like they are going to be wonderful. They you, Amy💕
💜💜💜
Hi! I just subscribed!! I have been so excited to make a book and you are explaining it so well! I haven't read the comments or finished the video quite yet (lunch break) but I wondered: when counting the ten to be torn out, etc does the amount of the pages of the book change? I know this sounds ridiculous but: say your book is 200 pgs is it still ten or if the book is only 50 pges how many would you recommend...I'm a newbie and don't want to get page tearing happy lol! Thank you! ♥️
Yes if the book is as small as 50 pages you will want to tear many 4-5 out. I haven’t tried a book that small so I’m not sure of exact number. I wouldn’t tear more than 10 out of any book. If you don’t want to decorate so many pages choose a book around 200-300 pages. Thank you and welcome.💕Amy
@@craftycat7212 I can't wait!!! Thank you so much! ♥️
