Hello :) I want to give a tip, so that the pages do not look like this when you use paint or gesso on them. (I have been making books like this for many years for me to spend time on collage (my glue book) and I have had the experience of verifying which method is better :)
If you put glue all over the sheet, to stick one against the other, but the glue is not spread evenly, then it will create a very uneven surface and when you use paint or gesso, everything is worse. You will see all the marks where the glue made contact and you will also see the areas where there is no glue, forming that blown texture (I don't know how to translate it better from my Spanish to English. Sorry. Hahaha). It is better not to use glue on the entire sheet, but only on the entire edge, a couple of centimeters (one inch) and it is better to use the glue stick. Thus, when you use paint or gesso, it will be flatter, once the sheet dries the moisture. It will be better later to make a collage or a decoration ...
I hope to help with this.
Have a nice day :)
Oh thank you so much, I really appreciate your tip. Your English was fantastic btw. Enjoy the rest of your weekend x
From the few years I have been making altered books- my only piece of advice is to start with a strung book. If the book is glued, the weight of the pockets, pages, embellishments, etc. will pull on the glue on the spine and your book will not last as long as a stitched book. I recently had a local artist ask me to fix her altered book that was made very similar to this one-- it was possible to fix it- but it was never going to look the same as before. As long as it is not something you plan to keep and treasure forever, skip the glued spine and look for a stitched one.
That’s really interesting Brandy, very awesome that she bought it to you for fixing x
how did you end up fixing it? I know your comment is old, but I bind books, so I was just curious what you did😊 Also very good recommendation to use stitched books.
I could listen to her talk for hours and hours. The various British accents are just elite.
Oh thank you so much xx
Loved every minute of video😊
Great tutorial on an altered book! I will have to try this! Thanks for sharing!
I’m going to have to make one now. Great tutorial! I watched Shannon Green make a glue book and she said, she was told that starting in the front or back with the first glueing of pages then alternating to the opposite keeps the spine from going wonky. Just a though if it’s a thinner book. Thank you for sharing! Can’t wait to see how this goes.
Yay, have fun making one. I can see how alternating the gluing from front to back would work, thank you for sharing that tip x
I did start getting my book ready last week and now waiting on paint to dry..... lol..Craftyirina is one of the first people I watched ..I made a comment one day on a FB post about her using shoepolish and how beautiful it was and Craftyirina commented and sent me a Junk journal she said she made especially for me.. ..this was just a few months ago :)
Oh wow, that is so awesome to have one of her creations x
I couldn't wait for this video!! 💖 I know Barbara was excited for it too as she had mentioned your painting pages in her last video.. Great idea!! 💖
When I picked my craft tools after 20 years...the first thing I did was an altered book. I loved it. It's been about 6 months since I've done one...maybe it's time...thanks for the inspiration!
I hadn’t made one for ages either, but I forgot how fun they are x
This is going to be one Awesome video series!
Loved the first part, looking forward to the second part!
Till next time,
Take Care X
So glad that you did this video. I hadn't thought of painting the pages, so thank you so very much for the ideas. 😁👍🇨🇦🎀
Looking forward to watching this develop. Thank you for sharing your process.
I made my first altered book last year and loved doing it, and I've been meaning to do another one. This has given me the boost to do so again. First thing though is finding a book. I used acrylic paints to paint some of the pages. A few of the pages I left but decorated by stenciling. Thanks again Tina you are inspiring.
Thanks for this tutorial. I started an altered book awhile ago and got really stuck. Looking forward to completing my book with you. I don’t know why we sometimes get nervous about doing things we have done before but trust me, you are not alone. Happy day! 🇨🇦🤗❤️
Oh that’s fabulous that you are going to resurrect your altered book, I had forgotten how fun they are x
Never done an altered book before so I got an old book out and starting ripping out pages, as we do lol. Got them out and started adding papers.
This is perfect for my DT for Tracie. Thank you so much for the push t make one Tina. I think you are just over tired today. We all have those really great days followed by nothing seems right days. Have a lovely evening. Hugs xxx
Oh that’s fantastic, I look forward to seeing your finished project x
I loved it. I have some papers of yours I am making an altered book...
Oh fantastic, have fun x
This was fun and I would definitely like to try an altered book now...I have some books so really no excuse other than me being a procrastinator lol
YOU ARE DOING A FINE JOB TINA-ALREADY LOVING THIS SERIES-TFS-HAVE A LOVELY DAY-HUGS/BLESSINGS
Thanks for sharing Tina, I told Joie I was excited to see you make your version. It's about 1000 times better than anticipate.🐞🐝🦋☺️🥰
Oh thank you so much Lala, that’s really lovely of you x
amazing :)
What fun! I love using altered books as art journals. 😀 I first saw one many years ago when I was at university when someone used an old book as their sketchbook (student poverty, LOL). By the way, I must give you a big THANKS because your channel inspired me and gave me the courage to start my own channel. I take my hat off to you for doing so much, because now I know how much work is involved! Anyway, I look forward to seeing the autumn themed pages in your AB! 💛🧡❤️💛🧡❤️
What a great idea for a student sketch book. Oh wow, I am thrilled to have inspired you to start your own channel, I really hope it’s going well 🙃🤗😊 x
Paint the pages brilliant, like your method.
Love the coverage of the house paint.....and pages remained much flatter than I anticipated.
I love to use Readers Digests from the thrift stores.
I’m so glad you you’re doing this altered book I want to try one thanks for inspiring me!
Thanks so much for doing this tutorial I’ve been wanting to make an altered book for the longest but feeling intimidated I wasn’t sure if I was doing it correctly. However, I did see Ms Joie’s process & didn’t start but after seeing your process I’m feeling a little more confident 😬. I’m excited to see the end result of your book. Thanks for sharing. 🤗😊
Oh definitely try one April, they’re lovely and tactile. I had forgotten how much I loved making them x
Years ago I made a JJ for my niece with the sewen in signatures but then never messed with it much again except to make me a few little notebooks. Well Covid brought me back and I'm so pleased you are demonstration the altered book, I could never quite wrap my brain around how they were done and you are laying it out famously. Thanks Tina!!!
Oh thank you so much Robin. Altered books are really fun, I had forgotten how much I love them. Have fun with your journals, no rules, just do whatever your heart tells you x
Like this idea and will try it with my next JJ. TFS 💛🙏
I have been having a massive tidy of my books and decided to prepare some for an altered books for future craft. This has inspired me to do one now 😊
Wow! I have been wanting to learn how this is done... Thank you as always for the inspiration and taking the time to show us exactly what we need and how to put it together... I dread to think what my mornings would be if I couldn't have my Tea with Tina... Well, it would be like not having any sunshine! That would be just awful! 😞 Take care and have a wonderful day 💕
Oh Donna, as always you are just so kind. Have fun with your altered book, I had forgotten how much I like making them x
Wow! What a great start for your altered book. Can't wait to see what's next. TFS
Don't be so hard on yourself. Great project! TFS
I love this, have wanted to know how you make altered books and this tutorial explains it so well...I may just have to try this...and I am going to buy your gothic set. I am in the middle of making mini albums for Christmas gifts and will have to wait on journals but I definitely will be making them....Great tutorial and hope to see more of this making an altered book...Thank you Tina...
Oh thank you, altered books are so fun and actually I gad forgotten just how much I love doing them. Btw, I have been having a great time today working with my new Gothic kit x
@@shabbydabbydoodah I can't wait to see it! I saw both kits in your store and they are marked in my favorites so I can buy them next week...Love both of them and the ephemera....
I’m going to make one of these. I have tons of ephemera made already (lock down anti stress crafting) so now I can prepare a book and go from there for my first journal. Thank you. Love watching you craft.
That's fantastic, have fun x
Loving the process tina. Tfs xx cant wait to see more stunning creations.
I love the Autumn ephemera and papers, I must get those ! 🥰
Love the idea of painting the pages. Thank you for your video.
wow, that looks like a lot of glue!
Lol, yes it does take quite a bit x
Love this! Fun series! 💕💕
I am doing an altered book inspired by Joie, you should not feel nervous your projects are brilliant and this altered book is coming along, loved the pocket and flip, I have the digis from last year.x
Oh that’s fantastic, they are really fun aren’t they? I had actually forgotten how much I enjoy doing them x
I'm very excited about this challenge your doing I have never done a altered book, So I think I'm going to try one along with you. You explain it easily enough I think I can do it!
My last altered book was so thick! This was very helpful! Thank you, Tina! Looking forward to the next part!
Loved the prep for the altered book Tina x
Thanks for sharing. Happy crafting on a budget💲.Happy everything on a budget 💲. Stay safe. be well. see you in the next video 🎥 and on the flipside. 👼🌹
Loved this, Tina, no need to apologise when you felt something was not going according to plan, it's fine!. I've made a few altered books but haven't painted pages before. Will definitely try that next time. Look forward to seeing how it progresses.
Rebecca is my favorite book! Might have to try to find a copy to alter and decorate with a romance theme. Love your videos! ❤
At first I was shocked that you were painting over the text, then I realized this is actually really cool. Almost like shabby chic. I could do so much with this. What a great idea thanks!
Oh thank you so much x
You are too hard on yourself. When you think you made a mistake, you fix it and that shows us that we shouldn't panic when we do it. Just keep plugging away and it works out. You do great work and I for one, really enjoy your videos, all of them. TFS
Thank you so much Anna, and I am really pleased that seeing me working with my mistakes is helpful. Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend x
I just happen to tons of paint... I had my brother help paint and still have a couple more days of painting. I am going to take a few days off because the areas of the house is primed and painted and just needs the 2nd coat of paint. We have had some super hot days and I can wait for a cooler day and finish. I did paint a bunch of paper. I have 2 journals to finish before anyone projects. I will send pictures. ❤
Oh Laura, your painting seems never ending! Yes definitely take a few days break from it, hopefully it might cool down a bit before you do the next coat. Oh yes, I would love to see pictures. Love to you x
I never did an altered book, maybe it's time to give it a go. Thank you for the inspiration. Loved it.
Oh yes give one a try, I had forgotten how much I love making them x
That means I am vintage. Well over 20 years old here. Always enjoy your tutorials.
Lol, I know what you mean x
If you want to paint the part inside of the spine, just open the book to the extreme so that the covers are almost parallel to each other. This way you can reach the back of the spine cover!
Great idea, thank you Anja x
Jean here you are ripping up one of my very favorite book. Love Rebecca watched it numerous occasions.😂😂😂it hurts but I know needs must but just had to tell you 😣😁
Hi Tina - if, as you say, the glue separated, it's like the tahini problem when you buy it fresh. You can open the glue and using a fork mix it back together. Worth a try. It's a fine video. Don't doubt yourself. It's always fun. Jackie
Thank you Jackie, and great tip for the glue x
Shake all the glue then store them upside down maybe?? Love your videos btw. Recently found you now binge watching x
Thank you so much for the tip, and welcome to my channel x
Looking forward to watching your process. I did my first altered book recently by following Gayle's recent series. It's interesting to see the different methods. Thanks for sharing!
Oh Gayle does the most beautiful altered books doesn’t she? X
Look good like something I might try Thank for showing us how to do it ☺️
.
Readers digest books are really good for this. Nice sturdy spines and pages
Yes they are, just ideal x
And decorative covers.😉
I just picked up a huge computer training (old programming) hardcover book and I wasn't sure what to do with it. I think it may be too big for this but I am learning a lot I can use on all of my next projects! Thanks for the tutorial! teri
I’m doing an altered book junk journal at the moment, but this will be my next project a “ themed “ one .
I love using altered books for art journals or journals..
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for all of the tips, advice and inspiration 🥰💖🥰 I'm currently working in an altered book and have started the second one so I guess yes it's sort of addictive 🤣🙈
Yes they are aren’t they? X
It’s always fun❣️
Hi Tina,
All I can say is WOW.......!!!!!.... Luved every minute of your video it's never long enough🤣🤣🤣 Tina, as I can sit here an for hours and just listen to you.......
Just bought both digis + ephemera fell in luve with them, and I just had to have them🤣🤣🤗 Another thing "ON MY TO TRY LIST" It just keeps growing......
I need to retire Tina so I have more time to play. BUT alas hopefully in another 5 - 6 years if all goes well. THEN I CAN PLAY....... Hope you and all of your Family are keeping safe....
Hugs🤗🤗🤗 and Kisses🥰🥰🥰and lots of luve from Rhonda Laine Sydney Australia xoxoxox
I know what you mean Rhonda, the list of things to do and try just grows and grows! Keep well, love to you and yours x
Oh. Found it finally thank you
Hi ya...thank you for shareing😁...but i have to tell you bout that glue..lol..i have the same glue and it is somewhat annoying kept blocking up on me aswell .so i undone the lid and inside the pointy bit a whole load of glue had gooped in to a lump so i removed with needle then ran it under my tap just to unclog n clean the pointy part ..you might find a big lump of it around the inside top of bottle aswell...just alittle tip i thort i would share with you..you probs already know it anyway ..lol..but still thank you for shareing hope all is well🌻😁
Thank you so much Billie Jo, I really appreciate your sharing that about your glue. It's so annoying when you get a problematic bottle, and sometimes they just are x
I’m still here and stop beating yourself up. You are doing fine.
Lol, thank you Sherry........you’ve been quiet lately. I hope you are doing well x
Tina feeling a bit down. Go fit a MRI Monday to see if I tore my rotor cup on my right arm. I’m taking pain pills. You know if I’m not gabbing I’m not up to par. Hopefully it’s just Bursitis
Glad you did this tutorial. How many pages did you end up with? I need to try this method ! How do you keep your pages from looking bumpy?
I haven’t counted the pages, but there are a good amount. They don’t seem to go too bumpy x
Use paint that doesn't contain too much water. Water is what is making paper bumpy!
Just lovely...u sound like someone else on the tube🤯 yr a chatter box..but i lov ❣🇦🇺ya
Yes, definitely a chatterbox! Lol x
i totally made a right crappy mess at my first attempt at a altered book, you miss shabbydabbydoo make it look easyX
Thank you so much, give it another try, they’re really fun x
Completely off topic....but I absolutely adore your rings !! Is there a story behind your style ?
Thank you, I just love those junky rings. Sadly nothing as exciting as anything behind them, I just am slightly hooked on them x
So i was born in 1986 so does that mean I'm vintage as well lol 🤣🤗
I hope so because that would make my husband really vintage lol 😆 jk
Lol, yes, I think most of us crafters are! X
Hi I'm just going to talk & wave my hands around.
Where part of pag tore off the other , I thought added character to work with. 😊
Lol, yes more character xx
Bought when you buy something Brought is when you bring something xxx
It is all your fault that I am awake and watching UA-cam at 3:00 AM! But it was time well spent.
Lol, x
Good morning Tina xoxo
👍❤🇺🇸
Hi Tina
Love that you are doing an altered book ,what papers are you using for this?x
Lovely to hear from you Tracy, I really hope you are doing great. I am using my autumn kit, the 2020 version of the fabulous fall kit xx
Having trouble finding part 2. Can anyone help?
SHAKE YOUR GLUE. We used to have to do that when I was at school.
Another great idea 😉 x
Shabbydabbydoodah I’m sorry I didn’t mean to shout at you in capital letters.
Thank you, have you tried folding down the corner to make triangular pockets?
That’s a great idea x
What kind of paint? In terms in USA
I use regular household paint, the type that you would use to paint your indoor walls in the house x
55:42 Jip! Still here 😁
Yay, thank you for sticking with me x
joie de fi and 49dragonflies? could you post links? crafty irene?
So sorry, I will amend the video description x
🙂🌞🌸🌺🇨🇦
Rebecca is my favorite book of all time, what a crime to alter that book! 😡
Sorry xx
Books over 30 years are retro.
Over 50 are vintage.
Over 100 are antique.
Thank you so much for sharing, I am never sure x
My understanding has always been that 20 years is classic.
i love all your videoes Tina you really help all of us dumballs . But can you please use the word Bought and Brought in the right context. Its been annoyiing me for ever. Bought is when you have bought something. Brought is when you bring something along.xxx
Thank you so much. I will try and do that, sorry that it’s been annoying for you x
Aw, tedious and boring
