    Natasha - I just wanted to express my gratitude to you. I’ve been following you for some time, I own your book, and I have had gigantic sparks of creative inspiration and some of my best work all credited to your impeccable knowledge. This is an oldie but goodie, and this is the third time I’ve come to visit this video 😂
    Your love and passion for this craft is so evident and that passion can’t help but to rub off on me and so many others by way of inspiration!
    I just want you to know that I am so grateful that you are walking in your purpose on the planet and I just so happen to get to be here at the exact same time. Thank you for your impact on this community. It truly would not be the same without your voice!
    We all adore you! Thank You❤

    A suggestion for the Heat and Bond backed cloth. Cut the corners of the cloth off at a 90-degree angle to help reduce the bulk of the cloth. I suggest making the cut a 1/8 of an inch or 3ish millimeters from the corner of the cover you are putting it on. I do this and it makes the corners on books really nice.

    Saturday, February 17, 2024 I am viewing yet another wonderful tutorial from my favorite Natasha! Thank you so much girl. I have just acquired some beautiful, unique material that I ordered for journaling. I plan on covering several covers with this luscious fabric since I watched your tutorial. I know now how to prepare the material for my project. Thank you thank you you are so gifted and talented ❤

    I love the variety of ways to make book cloth you've shown us, thank you! I didn't realize butcher paper could be permanently ironed to anything, that's awesome to know. My favorite way to make book cloth is with the Heat N Bond. It comes in different thicknesses, and I like the heavy duty. You'll want to use thin paper with it like the Japanese calligraphy paper found at Daiso or even tissue paper. I like how sturdy it makes the fabric and how well it keeps the creases I make with a bone folder.

    • @anahurm4456
      @anahurm4456 Год назад

      I have some Japanese calligraphy paper I just started playing with. I did some gelli printing on them. I never thought about using it as a backing for fabric. Going to have to try that. Thanks for the idea!

    Your idea of the napkin on the paper for using inside the journal is very appreciated.

    I was intrigued by your comment of what the difference between fabric glue and pva is, so I asked google and got this reply back. Fabric glues are made with acrylic as a main ingredient instead of resin, like Tacky Glues. An acrylic-based glue is more water-resistant than a PVA glue and holds up better through washings, remaining flexible. It explains why some of my projects have been a bit dodgy, I have been reaching mostly for the pva instead of the fabric glue. I appreciate the way you experiment for us, saves so much time.😄

    There are thinner versions of Heat and Bond…maybe those would not be so thick. Great video!

    • @stellabella6839
      @stellabella6839 Год назад +10

      Yes, there is, it’s called heat n bond lite…. Great product.

    • @rebeccahesser8057
      @rebeccahesser8057 Год назад +7

      Heat and bond lite works fantastic for book cloth

    • @viviandibrell849
      @viviandibrell849 10 месяцев назад +1

      Also, you don’t need glue with heat n bond…..you need an iron!

    • @one_smol_duck
      @one_smol_duck 7 месяцев назад

      I use heat n bond lite with (acid free) tissue paper regularly. I love it and it is a lot thinner than the regular heat n bond, BUT it's still stiffer than lite interfacing would be. Personally, I like my bookcloth to have a bit of heft to it, but if you're looking for something lightweight I'd still go for interfacing.

  • @cathlynballard8409
    @cathlynballard8409 Год назад +13

    Love this tutorial. ❤️ I squeegee my glues on with those free “credit cards” that come in the mail ads and other cards like them, both plastic and hefty paper-ish ones - AARP and insurance companies are the most common ones we get. I also use old expired gift cards and old playing cards (which I also often use to embellish my journals - being near two casinos in our town, our Goodwill shop always has a huge supply of discarded decks the casinos donate). Saves me on brushes, cleaning brushes, and seems to not take as long as brushing.

    • @heikesiegl2640
      @heikesiegl2640 5 месяцев назад

      Also sounds wasteful :/ If you don't want to clean brushes i guess you are not cleaning the cards?

    OMG I tried this yesterday to make a journal cover for a gift for a friend, I used iron on stabiliser because I had a heap left from quiting - well I have to say Ive done sooooo many covers using techniques I learnt from you but Yes I had issues at times with glue showing through and Ive had to cover these spots up with some decorations or other. HA !!!!!! not any more THIS METHOD IS AMAZING THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU Not only does it mean the glue doesnt show at all, it makes the fabric so much easier to handle and it doesnt make it so thick its awkward to manipulate LOVE LOVE LOVE IT THANKS AGAIN NATASIA YOURE MY HERO

  • @dawnwalker4109
    @dawnwalker4109 Год назад +7

    Hi Natasa 😄 Thank you for sharing all of your examples, and also talking us through all of them. When you said "allow me to demonstrate" I thought Yes, Please. I just recently bought some fusible interfacing, and already have some heat n' bond. This video is exactly the inspiration I needed to get busy making book cloth. I learned a lot today, and very much appreciated you showing us how to cover the entire book. Your finished product is always so beautiful. Have a terrific day!!

  • @barbaragrace1992
    @barbaragrace1992 Год назад +6

    Using fabric glue is better than PVA as it's non acidic. The acidic glues can make the final product degrade a lot faster. I like the interfusible webbing. It looks and feels much easier. Thank you very much for this tutorial. 😍

    • @marlenejones6266
      @marlenejones6266 Год назад

      It's a much softer fabric to attach for sure. I have use 2 methods. I probably will stick to these two methods.

  • @peaceofjunkjournals
    @peaceofjunkjournals Год назад +18

    Great video, Natasha! The freezer paper is used to protect your heat press/ iron from sublimation ink and/ or DTF powder. Normally we’d use butcher for that, but now it looks like freezer paper companies have joined in! It won’t stick, only protect. Hope that helps any curiosity you might’ve had! Have a beautiful day! 🌷

    Thanks for giving us such a comprehensive test of all the ways to make book cloth. I did the heat and bond a little differently. When I used the heat and bond I did not add a sheet of tissue to the back. After I ironed it on the wrong side of the cloth, I ironed it directly onto the prepared chip board one side at a time taking care to put the crease in. It worked quite well.

    Thank you for this video on book cloths, and for all the experimenting you do, so that we don't have to. You save us so much time and expense, that I am very grateful for! I have some of the fabric bond stuff, though not sure what weight it is. Have to check. I never thought of using it to make book cloth with! I also have some butcher paper, and cling wrap, and fabric! Really, I had no idea these bonding papers and glues could be used for this! You are one amazing woman! Thank you for sharing everything with us!

    @canadianjaneoriginal Год назад +1

    I am thrilled you did this video. I know 8 ways. But 3 are antique methods using sizing or wax. I do it to my canvases to keep tradition. My preference is rabbit skin glue method but it is a whole process. It just seals fabric, but you still need to glue it down. They used to wax cotton or linen covers too. But I assume “dry” waxing methods. Melting would make it sticky as I tried. I like interfacing.
