Tip! If y'all want free books to craft with, check with your local library! They often throw out boxes of books. They're usually in good condition.
I am a retired school librarian, so I love, love, love books. I have gotten some great old looking hard back books at the Goodwill. My home is filled with books and book décor. Love your ideas.
Excellent video. There isn’t anything that you make and create that I don’t love. Today the books, the pickle jar amazing. I look forward to getting a notice that you have a video up.
You have a zillion thumbs up from me!
Thanks for sharing.......
You're just dynamite all the way around! Personality, crafts and inspiration. When you mentioned your "husband and kids" I thought to myself she must've married when she was about 3! Lol. Keep up the great work!
So did I, lol. No disrespect intended but when I saw her, I was like look at this cute teenager with her own channel!😊 Great ideas!
I just love the books you painted and applied photos to. You have not ruined the book, I think that would be great to do with a book that was gifted to you with a pic of the person who gave it to you put on the cover. OMG I love my own idea I am gonna run with it honey.
I am a book lover who hates to throw books away, so this is a perfect idea for me! One of my favorite videos that you've done.
This Puckin Liberal yes me also, I love my Books 📚
Great ideas! Thank you!
You could even soak the covers in tea and coffee make them look older . Love your diys , great ideas
Loved them all but the pickle jar was by far my favorite!!
I just started collecting old books to cut up and use for various projects, like making junk journals. Thanks for some more awesome ideas. I also use a lot of the pages for collages on tags and envelopes for the tags. Books are wonderful, not only for reading, but also for getting one’s mind to think outside of the box.
How do you make or how do you use a junk journal? Sounds an interesting
Love all of these ideas! Just made the stacked books for my bedside table. Used "Let's stay in bed" for the wording. Now I'm going to have to empty out a pickle jar!
I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DID TODAY!! Thanks so much for sharing!!👍👍👍💞
I absolutely loooove these! I've got old books on hand
I agree - Brilliant designs and final result!
Honestly, at first I was apprehensive about crafting with books. After watching your video I am now looking forward to trying 😊. Thank you for sharing ❤️ and the inspiration!
Perfect!! I hope they turn out great! ❤️
I love all your crafts. I wait till another one comes. I feel like a kid at Christmas...lol. I have been crafting since Valentines Day. I find it helps with stress and depression. The videos actually relax me. Thank you for all your hard work. Much appreciated. 😊💝
Agreed - Love reusing things to give them a new life!
I love all these creations, very clever. I am going to make the cut out books and leave messages for some of the special people in my life to find years fromm now
Fantastic job of presenting your ideas. Your presentations went quickly without a lot of unnecessary chatter. The DIYs were perfect!
You are so refreshing,clever and a delight to watch
🤗🤗🤗 you are too sweet! Thank you!
I love what you do!! Watch you faithfully!!!
For those with issues about tearing up/destroying books: first, you wouldn't do that to a rare, valuable, or first-edition book; second, unsold books eventually are tossed and destroyed anyway.
Seen this done before from some other youtubers, and I agree about the books, just get them at godwill
I hate defacing any book, but if it’s a case of, having something pretty made with the book, or it rotting away in landfill, I’ll go for the pretty option!
Well, when you have beat up outdated books, you could put a current dust choice over it and it looked like a new book. I don't and never have torn up good books.
Loved them all. Especially the first you put pics on and the last one with secret compartment in it. Thanks for the DIY’s
You should do more crafts with jars from groceries! I always save them and then don’t know what to do with them. Love the pickle jar idea!
I love all of them but I think my favorite is the books that say “ Let’s stay home “ I really love that one ! You’re awesome thank you for sharing your ideas and talents sweetie ! ❤️
I LOVE those book frames! Great ideas, Katelyn.
Comes for bookish crafts. Constantly pauses to add these books to my TBR list.
I am not into farm house decor but I love watching these videos. Great content and ideas.
Love these! I’m going to using some old sheet music to decoupage the books 😬😬
Perfect! ❤️❤️❤️
Such a sweet idea !!!
Please check the value of that old sheet music! Beautiful idea. depending on what you have you may decide to copy that music and make it look older ???
❤❤❤
Ohh great idea
You’re amazing Kaitlyn one of my favorite crafters!
Loved loved the books. Great ideas. Can't wait for the next ones.
Love dollar tree crafts that don’t look like they came from the Dollar Tree!
I am a new subscriber after watching all these beautiful projects today !!My name is Judy I live in North Eastern Pennsylvania ! 36 years ago I did my first & only mod podge project I took my wedding invitation & did it on a decrotive piece of wood then with roses painted around it turned out beautiful. You gave me a push to get started on a project thank you so much I have a lot of your past videos to catch up on !! Have a lovely day ( Judy )
Oh that sounds so pretty! I love wood wedding pieces! ❤️ Thank you!
Well, Miss Judy, you are in for a treat. Katelyn's videos are always amazing. I really enjoyed all of her Christmas DIY's this past season!
I use to hide my transistor radio in my book cutout. I took it to study hall and we could rest if we wanted to so I would lie my head on my book and listen to music and the teacher never knew.😁 This was many, many years ago.
That is so cool! ❤️🤣

@@KraftsbyKatelyn Not cool at all. I expect she complained about the teacher as well! Heaven help western civilization.
Lela Eber 😂😂😂. Clever clogs. Now why didn’t I think of that? 😂😂😂

@@lindawestmoreland2576 There is on Debby Downer, one Karen in every crowd. You are without a doubt a combination of both
Congrat's!!
Hey Katelyn! Love your channel. You are the one that got me into Dollar tree DIYs! I always love your content and your sincerity. I think people have lots of recycling these days. How about a video focusing on upcycling plastic bottles ,coffee containers, etc??? I'm sure you can come up with amazing ways to re use these items in a farmhouse style. ❤️
Great book video. The last one with the secret hiding place is very creative. I remember my grandpa used to hide money in books to always have money on hand 💗💗
Absolutely love it. I'm a book lover but love the idea of repurposing the dollar tree books. The pickle jar diy was just adorable!
I love your channel, you inspire me with every video. I'm glad you only talk about diy's I am finding alot of the DIY channels are totally now turning into to much sharing and no diy's. Thank you for staying true to your channel.
Thank you! ❤️
Phylicia Lockwood
I totally agree!! That’s why Katelyn is one of my favorite youtubers... she strickly sticks to DIYS and they are always amazing!! Idk what these other channels are doing but i get on youtube to watch crafts not reality tv😂🤣
@@KraftsbyKatelyn Hi
I’d rather watch this gal. More than anyone else. She’s got a cute voice and awesome crafting tips
great use of books! i love decoupaging with them, and pages make a great backdrop on a canvas before paint it as well
Loved these ideas!!! If the libraries get to reopen, they often have book sales to purge their shelves. A great way to support the library!
You did it again!!! HOME RUN 🏃♀️
These are so inspired! They are all adorable, but I am soooo in love with the books that have the photos on them! That goes beyond adorable to me! Thanks for sharing!
Wouldn't it be cute if you added copies of hand written family recipes on the little tin can? Then you could put it in your kitchen and put utensils, flowers, etc inside of it.
It’s amazing how the rope matches the color of the one that came on the pot.
R u kidding me with that bucket?? So stinking adorable and beautiful. I love it!!
I love these, especially the pickle jar!! TFS
Love resuing things to give them a new life!
I’ve got a pickle jar that I painted last week and just trying to decide what I was going to do wit it. You have given me some inspiration.
All the projects are wonderful.
I thought you were just a teen but you mention hubby and children wow! You look young ! I’m old 65 but enjoybthis very much. ♥️🏴England
Liked all your projects. My favorite was the tin pails covered with paper. TY for working on ideas during this time. Stay safe.
Love that pickle jar and the "Let's Stay Home" books, too.
Great video!
The pickle jar idea fantastic, really looks high end. Loved all the texture with the books. Totally going to do these. Ive ran out of rope, mod lodge, and round mirror. Have a great idea for a farmhouse mirror
I need more rope! I just ordered some from Amazon, so excited to see how it compares! ❤️
The nautical rope at the Dollar Tree has gone from 13 ft, to 9.5 ft and now it's 7 ft something. Almost half the length as it was originally and it's thinner. I've tried two others types of rope hoping they'd be the same, and they aren't. I hope someone can find the same type of nautical rope at a better
price and share the info. TIA
KraftsbyKatelyn , please let us know when you get the rope. I've tries sisal rope and it was stiff to work with and left fibers everywhere. Plus the color was to light for my taste. I tried another rope but it wasn't the same either.
These are all so cute, but I’m loving the pickle jar makeover!
Hi Kaitlyn. You are my all time favorite crafter! I love your channel so much! You are so creative. Thank you for continuing to upload like you do.
All of these projects came out beautiful. I love all of these ideas.
Thank you! 🤗❤️
I love all of your ideas!! You are so talented & explain everything so well. Really enjoy watching you!
I'm so happy you enjoy them! Thank you! ❤️😍
Love all of these diys. I like the idea with using book pages to cover pots, etc.
Such great DIY'S! Loved the idea of taking book pieces and decoupaging onto the flower pot and pickle jar.
We would have to be quarantined for years for me to run out of anything. Lol beautiful pieces as usual
I’ve been going through dollar tree withdrawals! I haven’t been Since at least the beginning of March. 😂😂 love your diys!!
I know, it's sad. 😭😭😭
Love the bucket with the torn pages from the book....❤️❤️❤️
I love those ideas!! Especially the hidden compartments.
I just love everything you do! I love every DIY that you just did! I really like the pickle jar!
Thank you! 😍❤️
I'm glad to see that you're not ripping the hard covers off. Idk why people do that. It looks weird and rough.
JUNK IS JUNK. FINE ART IS ART. ART IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER xxx.
I didn’t think I was gonna be interested in this video but for some reason I wanted to watch it anyway, and I’m so glad I did! Wow!!! The turn out was super !!! I love the ideas of the pics on the books
Yeeessss Katelyn!
These old book diys are genius! I recently cleaned my storage room in my basement and found a ton of books i will for sure use some of these diys with them!!
Also I have a box full of photos and wanna make some decor with them but I need your creative brain for some ideas😉 I’ve already created most of your photo holder diys lol!!
Tfs luv😘
Aww I'm so glad you made some of my DIYs!! I'll share more soon!! ❤️❤️ I love decorating with photos!
KraftsbyKatelyn
Thanks hun!!
I love these!! I can’t pick a favorite!! Tfs!!
Agreed - Love reusing things to give them a new life!
Katelyn I have been watching you for a long time. Everything you do is so fun. Thank you for sharing.🌸🌺🌼
I loved every single one of your book crafts! You are so easy to understand, and I love when you talk about previous crafting "mistakes" you made and how you'll use that piece for another project or how you make it work anyway. Please keep your videos coming.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using old books for crafts, etc. As long as they’re being used for something and not ending up in the trash. Now to watch the video....lol!
I agree!! ❤️
Girl, do what you want with your books. If someone doesn't approve, their problem. Not yours. We can't please everyone. Great video/cute ideas!!!
I was like what, some ppl 🙄then I read da comments hahaha... How bout I'm gonna do da same thing😉
Traci - 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🇦🇺
Just wow !!!
I cannot WAIT to do these! Especially the pickle jar!
Just so you know, Dollar Tree has changed their nautical rope. Now it’s a soft white cotton looking rope. So, don’t miss it too much. Lol I really liked your pickle jar vase.
ooh, thanks for the info! i'll have to check it out
You could use the pages you cut out to mod pudge an the jar .
These are awesome! I’ve made several of your projects and I can’t wait to make some of these!!
Book lovers should not worry about the feelings of books, because books don’t have feelings. You look just like a pastor’s daughter I knew in Florida. It’s incredible. You’re very talented.
loved these DIY"S I am going to do these for my home ty.
Perfect! ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome !
I was thinking the cut out books would be a cute place to put the remote control.
Great idea !
I love this idea!
Thanks for the idea!
And hubby could never find it lol 😂
@@mrsducky3428 lol
❤ I absolutely love all your videos. Thank you for posting.
Oh my gosh!!!! You look so young, that I was taken back when you said 'my husband & kids'!!!!
Love, love, love your DIY's. Need to visit my Dollar Tree.
I love book DIYs and I do them myself- I just can’t help but think of the poor authors 😭 people buying their books at dollar tree to use just for decoration.
I agree with you
As much as I am sure every author wants to be read and enjoyed, their goal is to get the books sold once they’re published.
Didn't think I was going to like these cause I'm one of those book lovers lol but!
The painted books with the photos gave me a broader idea that I love (for after quarantine)
As much as I love books we have a used book store nearby that I could get emotionally relevant copies at, not paint them but add a photo or collage to the front to accent the theme of why its important to my family or I.
For example Harry Potter is a huge part of my childhood and so I could add photos from my child hood during those year.
And then inside in passages that hold value I could modpodge photos that line up.
Books that my children love now could hold photos of them!
It would be a homemade photo album made of sentimental things we may have outgrown use of (not my Harry Potter books! Lmao) but want to preserve.
Thank you so much. I don't normally post videos but if I do this idea I'll tag you in it or.... how ever that works haha
Great idea even m pics of you and your children reading the book together. But even with that books could still be read.
I love the photo book
Wow! You are one creative, talented young lady. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this! ♥
Thrift Shops/Goodwill often have books for very little money, that might also ba an option
....and they get a little donation $$ in the process. Good idea!
WOW , WOW I LOVED, LOVED THOSE PROJECTS AMAZING ALL OF THEM CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHATS NEXT INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL!! STAY SAFE AND GOD BLESS!❤ XOXO YOUR SIBSCRIBER❤❤❤
Yay! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Love the books!
Love all of the book ideas!! Can't choose just one.

I love all of your diys/ dollar tree crafts, can't wait to see more and new videos! You are such an inspiration to me my daughter!! Thank you!
SO clever...SO artistic....SO talented! I love your crafting! Thank you for sharing!
There are so many old out of date textbooks or damaged books that could be used for sole of these projects! Gorgeous job!
That would be fun to use large textbooks! ❤️
I totally agree. Math book pages are so pretty! Thanks for reminding me how much I love old text books.
I just love watching you craft! I painted three books for Mother’s Day, I stamped the spines. I love the torn look too. I stained the hymn with tea and put it on top and put IT IS WELL on the spines. I can’t wait to get grey waverly! I’m out. I’m glad you and your family are staying in and safe.
Upload a picture please
That sounds so pretty!! I need more paint too! Thank you, stay safe! ❤️
leanne hardy I will, but I’m not sure how.
