- How to make an altered book art journal
Altered books are one of my all time favourite journals. Since the next Get Messy season (020! Season of Play) is using an altered journal, I prepared!
I'm using an old (not quite vintage) garden book that I found abandoned.
I go through tearing out pages and covering the outside and inside cover to make it more my style. I didn't gesso or cut any pages out, I'll do that as needed.
Feel free to ask questions!

What a wonderful book, the images are so pretty. I’d save them all to reuse, they’re just too precious to get rid of. I’d use the book pages in so many ways. Loved this video. Thanks for sharing👍✌️🙏❤️✨
This is so inspiring to see your creative process! I have an altered art journal in progress, and your video is giving me a lot of ideas.
My junk journaling community starts here thank you
Lucky find for me🦋! I have enjoyed every moment of this video🥰. And the music is perfect🎶💖. Thank you.
I found your video yet and it is so beautiful how you create this book, I love it so much 🌿🌷🌿
Very pretty! Those corners make a huge difference in making the book look finished. And oh goodness, I giggled at you saying you hate glue... LOL!! That I was the only one who isn't wild about it!!
YAY! Glue haters. We're a thing! I wish I could find more book corner styles. I have two and they're super overused in my journal stack.
My heart stopped for a moment when you opened that book and showed the illustrations 😍💕 SO beautiful! I wish I had as much luck (or skills? ;) ) as you when looking for vintage books with great illustrations 😅
HAHA. We have exactly the same taste. How's your botanical book going? THAT one was a score!
New subscriber. You did a beautiful job. Looking forward to seeing more of your creations. Thanks for sharing 👍✌️🙏❤️✨
SO PRETTY CAYLEE! I wish I could find pretty books like these abandoned... :) And I love the transformation you gave it. Pretty florals with gold foil are what life is all about. Can't wait to see what kind of beautiful layouts are you planning for this lovely book!
Aw, I'm really grateful for Germany and its copious amounts of older books. You're so right, florals and gold make life so much better.
i love your works Caylee! thank you for this video, i will definitely try this out!
Aw, thank you. Please do! It's wonderful.
So pretty! I’m definitely committing to making an altered book journal for this season, so this was super helpful! I’ve ever made one before. :)
Yayyyyyyy I can't wait to see yours!
Love the background music. Very enjoyable video. Thank you for sharing!
Lovely, the book and colors are beautiful. TFS
Love this, do you have any videos of the inside of it
love so much!! 😍 so cool, thanks for sharing! totally inspired to try myself. similar to this, i would love to know how you DIY/bind your gorgeous little journals as well (like the loving mama journal), with the mix of papers/sizes. seriously so pretty
I absolutely love this Caylee!! So beautiful ❤️
♥♥♥♥
I was so happy to hear you say "1965 so it's not that old" . 😁
It is my father's age so it is 54 yo 😂😂
So gorgeous. Thank you for the tutorial. I really want to try it now!
Yay, you should totally do it. You'd make a really beautiful altered book!
Okay.. I just looked for that book online and now bought all three of them 🙈
YASSSS, ebay!
SO PRETTY! I haven't even finished my Season of Kindness journal, I'm so behind lol. So I haven't picked/prepped anything for Play and it's just started. I'm terrible 😂 But your book is so lovely!
Haha! If it helps, I haven't finished Kindness either! I'm way more excited about this altered book.
How do you prep the PAGES for use? Paint? Cover with paper?
I don't prep the pages for use. I use them as they are because I mostly collage with dry, tape glue. If I wanted to use watercolour or acrylic (very sparingly, since wet media will make the pages crinkly), I use white gesso first in a very thin layer with a silicone tool.
Very pretty!

Lovely! May I ask ... What is the name of the black and white flower paper?
Thank you. The black and white flower paper is from Maggie Holme's Flouish collection.
Great video! What is the name of the song? Thanks!
Which one?
@@CayleeGrey The ones on the video :)
@@agila1313 it's from Epidemic Sound but unfortunately, I can't remember which exact song, sorry.
@@CayleeGrey Oh I see. A pity but thanks a lot for answering my message! And thanks for the video :)
So beautiful
Thanks Heidi.
Wonderful!
Aw, thanks!
New subscriber!
What is the name of track playing in the background? It adds to the inspiration
kvidales it’s a song from Epidemic Sound. I’m sorry, I can’t remember which one it was exactly. They have really lovely instrumental music there in general.
What’s the title of the book?? Thanks 💖
The old book? Here you go: ruclips.net/video/KfWTEf9kAYg/видео.html
That's nice tutorial
Oh, its a german book! Hugs angel.💓
❤💕❤💕
This had a lot of fluff but not enough technique. I was looking for some more guidance from this video honestly.
I'm sure you'd be able to find a video with more technique, it's so much fun playing in an altered book. This is just the way I do it.
