There’s just something amazing in your voice and commentary that makes me feel as tho I’ve known you my whole life. Your so very talented in everything you do, not to mention a great teacher! Thank you for your time and sharing your talents! Big hugz & tons of love sent ur way!
Wow! Thanks Stephanie! I feel very connected to all of you! I am so glad we share this time together to create things! Much love and many hugs to you too! :)
I kicked with you to the end.
I usually don't respond. but i'm so glad i found you. someone who is who she is and does what she does because she likes it. because of you I now use a lot more things a second time. and I have even more fun making things. Thank you
I've been watching through your videos the last few weeks. I really love that you laugh at the mistakes and repurpose them into something more positive and still beautiful.
Hi A Fry! I am so happy you are out there! :) Pam :) !!
How can anyone not just love watching you . And the other morning I went on your fb page showing and asking suggestions about a cover of a journal that I glued it on upside down. I’m telling you guys I was on the edge lol but every one was so supportive and giving suggestions so I love this community and you are great
This is one big happy crafting community! I love that too! :) Ah! I remember your post! :)
i remember your post. Did you get it worked out?
Yes I just went with it it looks great
You are lucky to be in the US as where I am in the U.K. finding supplies such as magazines and papers second hand is not easy. I wish we had these Things as easy to hand. You make creating seem so fun an easy.
I binge watched all the way through! Thank you for sharing! As soon as I finish unpacking and organizing my craft and sewing rooms, I will be making one of these!!! I can't wait! Thank you again!
Hi FabricPaperAndBeads! You just rocked my world! Thank you so much! :) Pam :)
I have nearly finished a big book, I did 5 signatures, its for my dearest friend and I have loved every minute creating it!
So happy you enjoyed the process! It is so much fun to make a big book! :)
Just found your page and am in love with all your projects-- ( the ones I have watched so far, anyways lol ) I've always wanted to make a Tome but the video I watched long ago scared me off from it , with ancient tools and leather stretching machines etc . You have totally convinced me I can make a nice one and I appreciate your detailed steps that is in laymen terms :) I have some torn printer - tea- coffee stained paper drying right now for the FOLDER cover type book to start with . I'll be getting some chipboard soon for the BIG ONE !!! Thank you so much , God bless !!
I am so glad you're doing a video on the whole process of making a book and a tome is great. You teach so that it is easily understood and go over things more than once, thanks Pam.
hospital packaging for sterile products is often made with a Tyvek like material. I am a lactation consultant and I re-appropriate these tear offs from breast pump supplies. Its great and is otherwise discarded. I am glad to keep stuff out of landfills and love free supplies!
Im a nurse and am always on the lookout for free materials from medical discards!!! Thank you for what you do for your patients! Bless you!
👍 I am barely watching this and I like how you do it
You have a contagious laugh! Thanks for teaching!
I love 💕 big books and I cannot lie😆! This is so fun to watch and learn from you, Pam. I love actually holding books and I miss going to the library😳! But I have so many to read in my own collections 😁 and not enough time. One of these days...! In the meantime I watch and do my paperwork chores. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and joy of making books. I’m off to part 2💕🤗!
Kimberly Howard - OMG 😱 now that was funny AND I have that song stuck in my head LOL 😁 (🎶 I like big "books" 🎵 )
Same! This is a great comment!!
Hello Pam, I haven't watched all of these set of videos yet, but have put them in order in my private playlist so I can watch them in succession. By the way, Dollar Tree sells a 2 pack set of large yellow legal pads for a buck (of course) and the back covers are very thick chipboard, alot thicker backs than the ones at Walmart. Just FYI for anyone. And Pam, I just want to let you know how much I appreciate your video series like these. Because I just can't afford to pay for online classes to do these same things. So BIG, HUGE HUGS. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope you and your crew are doing well. I sure would love to have someone like you in my neighborhood, I'd be in seventh heaven. Take care and God bless.
Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Hi Becky B! You make my heart sing! :) Pam :) !!
I’m making my first junk journal and this is a very good in depth video to help me !! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
About the cardboard...I bought a heavy board as you are using here, and had it divide into to pcs after I put glue on. It was a water-base glue. So, I ended up having to glue it back together. I figured, "Oh, I can do that with cereal/cracker boxes!" Cut the pieces and glue together. I like to alternate the grain of the cardboard for strength. A 3-ply is really strong!
I love your tutorial here, and am sure I'll learn lots! I love to make books! You're so thorough and clear in the presentation. Thanks, Pam! Hugs!
Thanks so much Peggy! Your ideas are vert helpful! :) TFS! )
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE that Valentine Journal with the Rose on the front of it. These journals are just wonderful. It's just amazing the things you create. Thank you for showing us all these.
Really gorgeous! I love big journals like this! 🥰
Thanks! Love your channel name! :)
July 2022. Blazing hot in Canada. I have missed watching and learning from you. Re-subscibed today. Want to make a chunky out of a wedding dress. Remembered you do it all. Thank you🤗
Hi Pam. My name is Cindy and Im a craftaholic! And I just bought a Big Bite and a Fiskars cutter and Distress Ink pads, etc... you are my mentor!!
I have never ever made one like way and I’m absolutely obsessed with the way you did this and I can’t wait to try it myself Thank you so much for showing me that I can technically include art journaling techniques into making a journal cover because I’ve never done that before and this video is going to give me the courage to do that. Thank you so much. I love this video. I love the design everything about it you are absolutely amazing thank you.❤
Love the dry brushed one the most
Pam you are an absolute joy!!! A couple months ago I had never even heard of a junk journal!!! Today I am totally in love with them and your tutorials AND I am making my own journals!!!! I did it!! All because of you! Thank you so MUCH. You are such a joy to watch and learn from.
Nothing makes me happier than to hear this! Sarah!! :) Have so much fun you could just pop! :)
@@ThePaperOutpost Thank you! I can promise you that I will!! Lol
I love it when show us how to do new things. You are fantastic. I always am so greatful. Thankyou for sharing.
I have been binge watching your videos! I am addicted! How fun!
I love your energy and how you talk with your hands. Thanks for sharing!
Just an FYI, the tyvek tape that you are using, isn't the actual Tyvek woven fiber. It is a different type of plastic, like packing tape. It does However have stronger adhesive and is alot more durable... but not as durable as the tyvek. My farther owns a construction company and I've worked for him sine I was 13. I hope you have a wonderful day 😊
Wow! Not sure liking this alone is enough, but can't find the right words to give justice to how awesome this is. It's totally inspiring, I want to make one, just as epic.
The pink one. The pink one. The pink one !!!!
The blue one looks like blue jeans. Like it too, but still the pink one. Lol
I really enjoyed watching and listening to your voice it very nice and the teaching is great too.thank you very much.
Love your tutes, you keep it all very real and I love that your workspace isn't shiny and pristine and new but more like mine and I would imagine a lot of other crafters, unless I'm just a messy bugger lol
A well loved craft space! Ah! Home! :)
Ooooo, ahhhhh...yummy and fabulous, love the cover!! I have started a grand master project, which will end up being a tome in multiple volumes, 'cause I 'don't do gator mouths' 😅
This is so clever. I use to have so much time and loved to do little crafts like these. I miss those days. Might get back to it once I’m old and retired 😂
Make time for fun! Its that important! :)
You do such a wonderful job at giving instructions, it makes it so easy to replicate 🥰
Sincerely, thanks for your feedback! It helps me a lot to know if my message is coming across clearly :)
Not sure if you enjoy wine or not, but box wines like Franzia make great covers for large tomes! Love your videos and you have an amazing voice for video and radio!
Awe! Thanks dear lady! Good to know on the Franzia! :)
So awesome thank you
Great tutorial, Pam! Great teacher! TFS the inspiration!
Absolutely loved all 4 videos!! I'm making my first ever one, all thanks to your fab tutorials! Off to binge watch all your others now, it's like crafting with a friend, I adore the way you chat and explain things xx
As always your inspiring. I use carpet tape. It is two sided sticky and hard, hard to tear. I get mine at Walmart for less then $6 It can be painted on but has a texture. Love you Pam
Hi Angela Sanders! Fantastic idea! I love it!!! Thanks so much for sharing! :) Pam :) !!
I love your videos! I made my first journal a couple days ago out of an old copy of Little Women, and I love it! I'm going to a used bookstore today to grab more books for journals. Thank you for all that you do!
Hi Jamie Fleming! Thanks for this! That means the world to me! :)
Thank you for your fun tutorials! I watched Kate at The Last Homely House East of the Sea making a journal and caught the bug, and then I found your RUclips channel. I’m a fiber person, have never done anything with paper. But now I’m gathering supplies and will make one (or more!) junk journals as soon as I finish hand quilting my current quilt. I appreciate all of your tutorials, you make everything look like a fun journey.
Hi Sue Graham! I am all sunshine and roses because of you! :) Pam :) !!
I bought dome Tyvek tape because of you, so far I’ve used it to repair the split leather on the drivers seat of my 15 yr old car🤪🤪🤪
Great idea! I have split leather on the driver seat of my car and never thought of that! I always learn so much from you guys! TFS! :)
Thanks for all hints
Fantastic and affordable🙏🙏🙏🙏👌👌
I love that you are NOT a neat-nick!! I'm a messy crafter too. I love your videos, your style of crafting. BUT, I'm fussy about keeping my stamps, inks, and daubers clean.. No cross pollinating over here!!!😂😂😂
Love that black/gold and the pink book cover
Hi Special K! Thanks bunches! :) Pam :) !!
Thank you. This is the first hidden spine journal I’ve done, hope the fabri- tac glue holds. I’m using a real old book. I’ve watched the whole thing first..great instructions...& details on sanding, etc...it really worked well..
I am thrilled for you! I think this will open up worlds for you now that you have done a hidden spine journal! :)
Thank you for inspiring me to make my 1st junk journal. 🥰
What a lovely BIG book! haven't seen anything this size journal made before- i am always learning! Thankyou.x
You can make them as big as you dare to go! :)
I enjoyed this
Hello!I'm new to the whole journal thing. I won't be able to start until a while but I just want to say you're an amazing teacher and you are really calming to listen to. I'm so exited to start when I do
Hi Ok Boomer! Welcome to the family! I am so excited for you on your new journey into junk journals! It's a very friendly community! Come on down the rabbit hole with the rest of us and have some fun! :)Thanks for watching! :) Pam :) !!
Great tutorial. Love the fabric!
Hi Anita! That's awesome! Pam :) !!
I'm loving this! You getting the gesso out is giving me a hankering to finish the altered tin I've been putting off doing the next stage! That's the colour over the gesso'd things I glued on. I've been putting it off because...well let's face it I'm scared!!!!! Lol!
Today may just be your day Julie! I say go for it! :) Be bold!
@@ThePaperOutpost thankyou I will try!
I am so happy I found this video. Thank you so much for this!
love the valentine one !
Hi Laurel Gibson! Much appreciated! Pam :)
The blade splitters are on the butt of the cutter. It's good to use when there are no pliers nearby.
Fantastic! I love watching & hearing you. You are so educational & fun to watch, thank you!
Hi cheryl2455! You are the peaches in my cream! :) Pam :) !!
Loving this video Pam!
Hi Virginia Storey! So happy to hear you are having fun! :) That means so much! :)
Enjoy watching you work!!!! I've decided to do the 5 prompt challenges also! What fun!!!!
Hi Sharon Petty! I am excited for you! :) Pam :) !!
To tie my spine to the covers, I use cloth medical tape. fairly cheap and strong! love using it. Thanks for the tutorial! Love your work!
Hi Jackie Gfeller! Fantastic idea! I love it!!! Thanks so much for sharing! :) Pam :) !!
The cutter for the knife pieces is in the black piece in the back of the knife.
Thank you Pam for sharing all of your wonderful ideas!! Amazing as always! I look forward to viewing all of your videos, and I can't wait to get started soon. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Debbie Hannan! I really appreciate your input! :)
Pam, I enjoy watching your videos. They are very informative..
What a great journal series, Pam!🥰 This will make a nice little chunker!📚
Or a great door stop! LOL
@@ThePaperOutpost 🤣🙃
Loved this video. I have made a few books but there is always something else to learn and I love the way you put your together. I am inspired. Thank you
Hi Meryle! Yes this craft eternally stretches and grows! We all learn from each other! :0)
How did you evermfind time to make, not 1--but 3, big books? You are AMAZING!!!!! TYFS
It does get easier with time :) 2 of these books were in my chest already made ;)
Haha! You did it again! You were humming a tune from an old TV show, I think it was one of those cop shows like Mannix or Mission Impossible (but I checked and alas the tune eludes me)....care to elaborate? Love this Tome....hope to make one soon.....
Hi Cindy Henry! You are the peaches in my cream! :) Pam :) !!
I believe the TV show was called "Dragnet".
Yay for binge watching 😃😃
Hi Terri Delaune! You are my angel! Thanks kindly! :) Pam :) !!
Hi Pam
I loooove your videos. Your so peppy, cool and creative.
I was wondering what would be a good way to seal the cover?
I am afraid not to after using the stencil and modeling clay.Thanks
Thank you lovely for sharing this and u r sweet and funny.
Thank you very much.
You know, Pam, I have not thought of the books being digital, but you are right....I love holding a book in my hand...I will never get rid of my books, but new books will be put in the computer.....Thank you for making us aware of how they are being replaced....BTW, I love that you are wearing an "old fashioned" watch...hahahahah
lol...thanks! :)
I'm going to make one using either cow or deer hide
Hi sweet lady, I was wondering if you know how, or have any ideas on how to make a rounded spine on these big books? Like the fancy tomes from the medieval times.
Your great.. Thank you for this video
Also try Gorilla clear tape or colored tapes they are strong like tyvek look like duct tape.
Pam I am starting my first big journal next week. The past few days I've been getting paper and cover fabric together my spine will be 2". Should I do 3 or 4 signatures? Thanks so much Pam.
I wonder if hinges would be sturdy enough for a tome
Such an awesome work. Just a childish question. Where did you get the "heavy wight chipboard" from, if you dont mind? Tank you for your answer and time! 🌺🥀♥
I love this size! but feel like my life has been pretty boring for the last year. what do you fill your journals with when your days are repetitive?
What kind of sealer or protector will you use? Thank you!
HI there :) If i didnt want the cover to be black or white, can i just paint over the gesso? If so, what paint would be ok to use?
Thanks for this easy-to-follow tutorial! I'm in the middle of binging this series before I take that deep breath, take the plunge and make a junk journal. I really like the idea of making the tome vs. a small journal.
One question, as I cannot find the answer anywhere online: what is the difference between using gesso and using an acrylic paint like Folk Art?
Jennifer Bucher - I'm not sure exactly but guessing that gesso may have a more matte finish compared to the gloss/shine of acrylic paint.
Great question...in my experience they work in a similar manner. Both will attain opaque coverage. I agree with the comment below that the gesso may be a bit more flat than glossy like acrylic sometimes looks :) Both will work :)
@@ThePaperOutpost and @J P thank you! I have a few bottles of Folk Art paint that I'd like to use in varying shades of white, off-white, and black before I invest in gesso. Thank you both!
@@JP-xp6pf thank you! That makes sense. I've never worked with gesso, so this is all new to me.
Pam I have trouble putting signatures separate in center where we bound together they come out uneven. I sew it good but not signatures even together. How do I correct this.ty
I need book journals for dummies lol
Fun crip
This is fantastic Pam I need to do this tutorial
Gesso Ill have to make my own, gesso here is way exi like gold
1/4 cup Talcum powder,1 tablespoon white glue,1 tablespoon white paint,water to desired consistency
🤔wonder how that will work
Heres another recipe
1/4 cup water,1/4 white glue,1/2 cup white paint,1/4 cup baby powder
How could those recipes be so different
Anyone have any experience in making their own?
If I use my eye to position bits and pieces my book would be a winky wonkey, book😂
Cheers🇦🇺🌺
The little black piece at the end of your cutter is comes off and is used to break off the old blade. Just FYI lol
I’ve been wanting to make a book for a long time now. I’ve collected pretty much everything I needed to construct the book. I have a question for you about the cover. My grandson works at a pizzeria and while I was in there i was looking at the pizza boxes he was making and then I thought to myself, 🤔 hmmmm, these would be great for the covers and spines I think. That’s my question. Do you think these would be good for making a book? I can get as many as I want. Small medium and large. Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
If you use the fringe and back covers of a real book( no spine ,just the two covers..When you put the Tyvek tape on the new spine and then attach to book cover you cover part of the cover that you like...any suggestions?
Front and back..
👍
Question: Have you ever used the boards in binders? Do you know if the chipboard is the same as the type of board that fills binders?
I have not but I think those boards would be as thick as book board and those would work well :)
Please get back to if the book big how can I sew it
I love this book, l think l hear you say you can use black paint
Oh yes! You can use acrylic black paint or black gesso! :) I would seal it at the end with an spray sealer when dry :)
Thank you, trying to use things l have in the house, l am also using a old book for the cover, l had some lightweight spackling l am testing for the cover
Can you tell me if there is anything else you can use if not Chip board? To use in your journey to stitch on?
You can use old book covers or you can also use cereal box fronts and backs cut to size, if too thin then double or triple them up :)
@@ThePaperOutpost OK, so like using the chip board you showed to add and stitch pages on, you can cut a book for that? For the middle?
I wish I could share my journals and get your opinion....
Can I use cereal boxes in lieu of chipboard as I don't have money to purchase extra supplies and try to find things I already have 🙂
Yes, you absolutely can!! YOu can also glue a few together if you want extra thickness! Keep your eye out for any packaging or junk mail that may work as well! Not sure if you saw this video where I make a journal out of a magazine but here is the link! :) ruclips.net/video/MnW2ejLKbzY/видео.html Its a 3 part video :)...the rest of the links are in the description box :)
@@ThePaperOutpost thanks pam!!!!
My son teased me for fussing you when you couldn’t hear when you were cutting the spine parts. 3/4 is more than 1/2. You were saying to cut less than 1/2- maybe 3/4. That would be bigger.
Do they lay flat?
I have tyvek envelopes and carpet tape, what about that combo? If the only cover material you have is cereal type boxes to use with the front and back covers, how many layers would I use for the spine? TFS ❣️ Namesta ☯️🦋🕉️🌻💙🐌
HI Lala, great you are ready to have fun! I would suggest 3-4 layers of cereal box for a strong sturdy cover for a tome. Have a blast! :)
Pam you made a big impression on Lizzi Brewer, her last two live videos she talked about how she loves your videos. She tried the glue you use and loves it. She said she watches you all the time.💜🦄💙
I've made 20 signatures so far lol
Could I sell these on my Etsy?
