Love it 🥰
What is that transparent sheet material
It is a mesh mosquito net fabric I buy from a local fabric store.
Can u tell me what that material is ?
Most pages are made entirely from Stiff Korean 1.2mm felt :)
Lindo
Thank you! ❤️
Thank you for this video. I am glad I watched it all the way through. I am wanting to get into busy books for my grandkids. I will have 3 by the end of the year. I will be visiting your site more to get page tips and it sounds like felt.
Thanks so much Mary! Thats greay you want to make books for your grandkids. Nothing beats a handmade gift from grandma ❤️❤️
Hey, your tips are amazing !! Loved them … Which cutting machine are you using? Can you share the link?
Hey thanks so much! ❤️ I don't have a link but I currently use the Cricut Maker. For the price, I think it works well!
Because you're a genius. The colors are vibrant. The activities are well thought out. Congrats on your achievement.
This is hours of fun. Love it.
I like looking at cute stuff. My baby isn't this young anymore, but i have so many supplies for making activities tools. I love your books. 🎉
Loving the green moon. ❤
You are very creative.
What type of felt did you say you used? I have the spft ones.
Pretty!
Simply beautiful!
I'm loving them❤
Kids will absolutely love these litte activities
Beautiful ideas!
I figured since it was felt it would be fine.
These are such beautiful pages.
Thank you!❤️
Very nice!
Thank you for sharing your quietbook page ideas with us. I think your designs are really cute! Have you ever tried using tulle instead of mosquito netting?
Hi how big is the velcro dots that u using?
Hi hi, how big the velcro dot you using?
thanks i really love this !!!!
How much time did it take you to make all these? I also started laminated busy books business and with having only one cutting machine and doing everything by myself I can’t fulfill a lot of orders. How can you work quicker 😓 if you have any tips I’ll be so grateful
This is a good question! What you see here is an accumulation of pages that I have made over many months. In terms of the number of hours, I have no idea. I can point you to this video I did, which outlines sample times, costs, profits to make random pages in bulk, if you are curious: ua-cam.com/video/Jx45GwidrhI/v-deo.htmlsi=vGvMEqL3QAp-bzMU I totally get that though! I am the same, just one machine, all me, myself, and I doing the work, so I understand. The only way I am able to makes pages efficiently and profitably is by making pages in bulk at one time. So I will choose a page and make 8 to 12 copies of it at once... do all the cutting, sewing, gluing, everything. I find it makes a big difference just doing multiple sets at a time.
The link to the free pattern for individual use is not working
It is there and should be working. Here is the link, just click on the "Birdhouse Template" bambinobusybooks.com/free-print-templates-5
Yes thank you!!!
Hey hey! I am making my first pages and I'm a sewing newbie so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but it feels like the felt slides around a lot when I'm sewing. Do you have any tips or tricks for keeping the felt from moving around when sewing? Is my tension too tight on my machine??
Hey! Sorry for my late reply! To be honest, I am not the best with sewing tensions and issues. I like using the sewing clips though to help keep everyrhing in place when I am sewing. Best of luck!
Absolutely brilliant
Thank you! ❤
Good luck! I want to add these to my markets as well ❤❤❤
Thank you! You absolutely should! Let me know how it goes! ❤
Hello! Love your work and helpful tips. What are you using for the scalloped ring inserts. It looks like heavier felt? How do you prepare them? Thank you!
Thank you so much! Yes it is 3mm thick felt (so very thick felt) that I buy from my local fabric store. I cut it with scallopped edge fabric scissors... I have the link for them in my amazon storefront, I will link it here... www.amazon.com/shop/diybusybooks I use the 7mm size ones and they cut great!
Thank you so much for your videos! What kind of hole punch do you use for the binding strips? I use 3mm thick wool felt. I tried a heavy duty hole punch and the kind of tool that you use to make extra holes in a belt. It just seems so easy when you do it. Here in the Netherlands it is very hard to get stiff felt, does someone have any tips?
@@V0nneke17 thanks so much! I don't have a brand even on my hole punch I don't think... I bought it at a local office supply store a few yeas ago when I was teaching because it said it could hole punch a ton of papers at once on the packaging... maybe 30 papers or so I can't remember. It has worked incredibly well. I also use 3mm thick felt.... next time I go to my fabric store to buy more, I will film the tag and see what the felt is made of. I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time with the holes though. That is frustrating but I am sure there is a solution 🙂 For felt, are you able to buy the felt from amazon? I am sorry, I am ignorant about what services are/are not available to you. But the stiff 1mm amazon felt isn't bad... it is what I used for the first year of me making the books. Only recently did I switch to Korean felt but the amazon felt will still work quite well. Korean felt is harder to find and the place I get my felt from only ships to a few Countries, not Netherland. Have you tried Etsy? I have seen lots of sellers on Etsy from all over the world who sell Korean Felt. Try there... maybe there are sellers close to you. If you want to message me through my website (bambinobusybooks.com), I can look into the cost of shipping to you but I expect it will be quite a bit more in shipping. Try Etsy sellers in Netherlands or Germany who sell Stiff korean felt first. Let me know and Good luck! ❤️
Looking to purchase ski toned felt. Can you help?
I have some light skin coloured felt available to purchase on my website, in the colour "peach" available in 11.5"×11.5" korean stiff felt. Let me get the link if you decide to order... bambinobusybooks.com/shop/ols/products/12mm-korean-stiff-hard-felt-sheets-12x12-sheet/v/1-2MM-KRN-STF-PCH
I just completed 8 pages of these on yesterday!
Me too!!! Woo hoo we on a roll! Do you have a show coming up?
Thanks so much for sharing! I just did my second craft show (no busy books yet, I spy bags and fabric letters so far!), and did well but similarly not as well as I hoped. Such a learning curve! My bags sold well, just no fabric letters so off to think of new ideas to display :)
Thats great! Yes I totally agree, there is so much to learn at first. Be patient and keep going, I promise it gets better. It is so painful at the start when shows don't go well but it does get better! Congrats on getting started! ❤🎉
Love your Taylor Swift comment😂❤. TFS
Lol! Thanks so much❤😅
Very clear and helpful. Thank you
Thanks for watching ❤
Is your felt out of wool or polyester?
I am not sure... the felt I have in my storefront that I get from amazon says its Acrylic/Rayon... I am not 100% sure about the Korean Felt though. I believe it is the same kind but it does feel a bit softer to touch, but still stiff in it's structure. It is also a bit thicker.
I´m from Algeria I have a question please if can I do quiet book for child 8-12years if yes I need an ideas
Hello! Wow all the way in Algeria!! So neat, welcome and thanks for watching❤️❤️! I can try to work on a book for that age but it may take me a while. Some pages I would do though would be: 1. Memory Matching Game 2. Clock 3. Tangram Puzzle 4. I Spy Page with a Card that shows what's inside 5. Dry Erase Drawing Page
@@diybusybooks yes from Algeria so far 😆😆😆 and I like your channel 😊 good luck for you
@@user-gi9mc4pd4e thank you so much. That is just too cool! ❤️
Hi this is Inga, I really enjoyed the information, how you priced, and displayed your pages!! Thanks!
Hey Inga, so glad to hear that. Thanks for watching!
Oh I love this!! Great idea! 👍
Thank you! ❤️❤️
Thank you 💕
My pleasure, thank.you for watching! ❤️
How much do you ask for a regular activiteit pag
I sell most pages for $6, $8, or $10
How thick is your felt you are working with?
It is 1.2 mm stiff Korean felt
Do you use a specific type of blade with your Cricut? Also, what mats do you recommend?
I use the blue blade for cricuts (Sorry I forgrt the name for them) but I like the blue ones the most for cutting felt. People have told me to try the rotary blade but I prefer the blue one. And for matts, I like these ones... they are less expensive than the cricut brand but I find they work great. Here is the link I use: amzn.to/49OTN1H
HI I''m interested in upgrading to your Patreon what happens if I need to cancel?
Hi Inga! If you decide to cancel, you can do so anytime through Patreon in your profile settings I believe. When you sign up, you only pay one month at a time. So when you sign up, you pay for the first month and you have access to everything I have posted thus far, as well as any new templates I post that first month. If you cancel before the second month, then that's it and your membership ends but during that first month, you get access to everything 😃
I'm excited to get started with creating busy books to have something different at my craft fair. Do you usually sell individual pages at your craft fair or have the book already put together? Love your channel.!! Happy crafting
Oooh I am so happy you asked this question... I just did a craft show today and will be doing one tomorrow and will be sharing a video to show exactly what I do. I sell them individually and then connect them with binder rings. Stay tuned this week and I will show my set up. So excited for you. Honestly they do well and they are still new... I have never seen anything even similar when I go to craft shows so they are very unique!
I just love your creativity ❤
Awe thanks so much 🥹❤️ That means a lot to me!
I really appreciated your tips. Thank you very much!
Thanks so much! ❤️❤️
I'm a new mother to an autistic and delayed development child. I'm planning to make a busy book that suits her tactile needs. Thank you so much for the tips I love them 💕
That is wonderful, thank you for your comment, that makes me so happy!! ❤️❤️❤️ I hope her loves her busy book! I would love to see how it turnes out if you want to send me any photos!
@@diybusybooks for sure I will. Although I know mine won't turn out nearly as clean and professional as the ones you've shown but I'll give it a try.
@@mishiwihi ❤️ I promise whatever you make for your daughter will be perfect for her. And you can hold onto it her whole life and give it to her as an adult for some sentimental nostalgia ❤️
This is absolutely genius
Thanks so much! ❤️
@@diybusybooks how to get the templates? Where is we can buy them?
@@Puspita953 the templates are all on my website www.bambinobusybooks.com 😃 Sorry, I only sell locally at craft shows right now so they are not available online to order.
