      It’s so easy to start and so satisfying. It can be as easy as finding things you have around the house. The idea is to just start ❤️

    This is fascinating - I love it! I still have a collection of Little Golden Books from when I was a toddler - I'm in my 50s now! So this could be a great way to upcycle and get more use out of them. I will have to go back and watch this again, though, because I somehow missed the part where you made the spine WIDER. It was originally, like, an eighth of an inch or so - and now it looks to be about an inch & a half, maybe? Not sure on that because I never measure anything either, LOL, but you get my meaning, I hope. The covers are rigid, so I don't think they would fold well - and I didn't notice you splitting the foil part on the outside open to make it wider .. so I will have to figure that part out. I love the idea - these books have filled many lonely afternoons for me when I was a kid - so it would be nice to be able to utilize them again!! Thank you for the "thumbs up" video~!

      Thank you. I plan on making more videos using Little Golden Books. I’ll try to explain the size of the spine in the next video which will be a flip through of 2 that I made. Once you take the book apart it gives you about 1/8” more on each side of the gold spine so the book is about 1 3/8” or so. The gold spine is very thin so I reinforce it with 2 layers of chip board to make it equal to the cover thickness which is rigid. I wish I had my LGBs from when I was a kid, I only have the ones from my own kids. My next video will be a flip through I made for my son to use as a travel journal for photos and keepsakes. Thanks for watching my videos ❤️

    Put vaseline around rim of lid of glues or paints. This makes it easier to open since it won't stick

    It is so much easier to use a heat gun to remove the spine. Comes out intact everytime. Then remove the staples.

    • @sylviaesposito4757
      @sylviaesposito4757 Месяц назад

      Just point the heat gun on the side of the spine. It will start to left and you can use twizzers to to keep from touching . It will be hot. It should come up in one piece. I use a tape runner to Apple it back to the book once I decide how I want to bind it. It’s very easy.

    I also save the spines. I bind them with a ring binder or with a spiral binding using my Cinch. I just bought the new thermal Cinch so I might try that.

      Hopefully this translates properly. The baking soda is used in old books that have a musty smell. Baking soda gets rid of the odor. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have more questions.

      The book has a gold spine that is existing. I used a gloss over it to protect it. I really don’t know how long it will last on an old book. I think it would also depend on how you care for it. I’m working on videos to decorate. I do have a couple I’ve made showing how I make my tags, bellybands and playing cards. 😊💕
