I love that paper. I have long been a fan of craft paper, and don't use it as much as I would like. Love your videos and have made several of your projects. Thanks so much for giving us instructions and techniques that work.
You could use a second composition book and glue it to the first one and make a 12 month planner! I just did it. Love this vid.
I am doing this same thing, not the design, but turning a comp book into a planner. After I uploaded my first video for it I found yours lol, and then you mention about a recipe book, which I already had in mind along with some other ideas, so I am going to finish watching these and your recipe book, and will be sure to give credit where it is due. i love watching your videos!
This is going to be funnnnn! Its coming out great. And if I didn't already mention it......this is probably the most amazing paper pack I've ever seen. I LOVE Kraft.....and I love the colors! Looking forward to more vids on this! Thank again......and have a great week! Bigggg hug! Becca
Cover with clear contact paper; I use it and it works well! LOVE your inspirational videos!
I am anxious to see this come together Amy! I am loving your cover choices!
YOU TURNED ME ONTO ART GLITTER GLUE AND I LOVE IT... THANK YOU
I didn't have much scor-tape when I was working on my last mini album, so I tried Mod Podge as a glue for my paper covers on the chipboard. It worked great no buckling of any kind. I'm still working on finishing the album. I love watching your videos.
Hugs,
Sharon
Hello Amy, just started crafting and I'm enjoying your tutorials. Thank you for your time.
Awesome idea on the Mod Podge. My daughter and I are watching these tonight and she wants to do that too :) we will go on to part 2 and see how it turned out
This is strangely relaxing to watch
Im in Love with all your projects. I think I'm going to do the album just like you did because I'm a copy cat XD and I love all the colors together. The one I could change is the clouser on the accordion book and cut the flower on the paper to make the clouser.
Great beginnings ... looking forwards to tomorrow . Thank you . x
Maymay, I enjoy your videos so much!! I always watch yours first. I wish you lived close by so I could learn more from you.
+Jonie Isenberg Thanks Jonie!!!
Love love love. This is awesome how it's coming out. Can't wait to see the final work. Tfs.
I love this idea...I am actually thinking about doing this for my daughter who has to use 8 of them daily for school. Maybe making them different and decorative will help her find them faster for her classes. Instead of trying to look at all of the black and white. Thank you so much for sharing. I cannot wait to see the rest of this series.
Amy Taylor I love this idea, and it can be made very personal for her taste. You will be the cool mom for sure!
My daughter did it. She is a fifth grader girl. Her classmate were insane asking her to decorate their composition notebook. I have to say thank you for this wonderful idea.
Maymay, we had talked about different ways to seal the paper for the recipe binder and I began experimenting and I found a video where the lady suggested that you use mod podge as the glue, let it sit for a few seconds (I did it until it had a little "wiggle" room), then place the paper and let it completely dry. Then cover the top with mod podge. So, after all of my experiments, that method has worked great for me. I had no bubbling at all and it was very smooth. Just thought I'd share. :) Thanks and have a great day.
So many great techniques, Maymay! Now I understand using Mod Podge bettter. I'll have to try this!
Love this cover. I think I am going to use the same type composition book for mine.
I love watching your videos there good stress relievers, I love to fall asleep to crafts lol -😍😍
Such awesome idea! I just started a composition notebook journal/planner and I was thinking it needed some love.
Loved this video! I am now a new subscriber and don't want to miss any of them.
I haven't seen your recipe book video yet, but after watching this one - I decided to make a recipe book. So far I'm thrilled with my progress. What I love about your videos are all the little details we may miss when making something for the first time...like using the right size rounding punch and making sure you punch the right corners for front and back. I have a black composition book and used a 50's kitchen paper pack with aqua, pink and a minty green (remember when refrigerators came in colors?) I wasn't sure how to hide the black binding so before I covered the front and back with card stock, I used an aqua colored duct tape to cover the black binding. It is flexible enough to handle the many times this recipe book will be opened! Any other suggestions for covering the binding when you don't want the black to show? Also what white glue do you prefer. I have many bottles of different kinds of glue but still not sure which one to use to keep things glued together without buckling the paper. Thanks
Grandma Cindy
cynthia webb Thanks for watching! I love the duct tape idea for covering the binding. I have also used canvas and fabric. I have some printed canvas that is sold in 12 x 12 sheets in the paper sections at Michaels and I love how it turned out. Not to mention the extra support. If you are going to cover with paper I suggest a thinner paper, not cardstock. Cardstock just doesn't bend well. My favorite white glue is Art Glitter Glue, I was introduced to it by Jane at veleocityvette08 on UA-cam and I have loved it ever since. goo.gl/JtKjf0 I still wouldn't use wet glue on the covers unless I had to, they just buckle cause wet paper does that. If you can afford to add the full sheets of sticky tape from Punch Place Plus to your stash those are my favorite. They don't buckle at all and they stick like mad! The link for those are here, just go to the adhesive section on the left of the page. goo.gl/FzKPGh Thanks and I hope this helps!
Maymay, I have made prayer journals and Bible study note books from composition notebooks in the past. A girlfriend of mine covered hers with clear contact paper. It worked really well and kept our book fronts water resistant. These books are now 14 years old and still look like new on the outside.
Belinda Baker The Embelished Card Wow! That is amazing, I may try that out too if you don't mind?
I'm already hooked on this. Now on to the next part. Lol
This was the most soothing video
On sealing the cover: I alter comp books, and use laminating sheets on the covers. You can get them at office depot or maybe hobby lobby. They require no heat to seal, they're just sticky clear sheets.
I love your video's!! you are so creative. thank you for sharing!
I've been looking forward to this series - its gonna be fun. ✌👅

HAHA I LOVE it! When I seen the chevron I thought oh that would be perfect for the border between the black and the paper and BAM you did it =)
Thank you very much for the information for the glue!! 😇
you're so talented and I love the way you speak! haha :) No stressing out, girl!!
Love from Mexico!! xx
Thank you for the inspiration. I am working on my planner now.
I had a dream about altering books and I knew I was going to have to use modpodge because I don't have other adhesives and I woke up and said "wax paper under it" because I wasn't sure how to keep the pages from sticking when I went to bed. I love this :)
I'm looking everywhere on UA-cam for ideas on a diy address book. Do you think you could make one either out of a composition notebook or another notebook or make a book because I love your book tutorials. And if you don't need an address book you could give it away like you did that album you made if your still doing that?
Great tutorial!! I cant wait to see !!! I just started making some of these !! TFS :)
Can you tell me what that corner punch you use is? (It's not listed in your resources above.) I'm picky about the corners of my notebooks, too. I like your videos!
Does the trimmer you have give you straight lines?? I had purchased the one at Walmart fiskars rotary just like the one your using but it's not as fancy doesn't have the metal bar and legs.. and the measurements was orange just like the arm color so it blended and you couldn't see but the major issue was it cut horrible lines in all my beautiful scrapbook paper.. so I went to the 9 inch one and it's straight cuts but now the problem is it doesn't fit the 12x12 scrapbook papers.. ughhh. So idk what to choose next.. I've watched so many videos and it's a big decision lol... Anyhow love how the comp turned out.. it's beautiful.. :)
What's the brand of adhesive tape are you using hun..
This is such a great project! 😊
Hey I'm Ing-Marie. Now there is one thing:
Could you tell what your corner puncher is called
and link to where I can buy it?
Thank you.
Love this. Great tutorial.
Did you get the stuff for the binder yet and also did you make the binder tutorial
I want to do something like this to my composition book but the only ones I can find are the ones with the the plastic poly covers so my question is what can I use to get my cardstock to stick to the poly covers? Because glue and tape isn't working well because I want to be able to throw it in my bags on the go and still have everything stick
Hi have to tries Mod Podge? www.maymaymadeit.com/collections/adhesives/products/mod-podge-8-ounce
You Are Awesome Squared!
you are so amazing!!!! you really should have a pintrest page!
Cool idea. Tfs, Debbie
Looking good!
very inspiring! tfs xo
Love that paper TFS
Hi Amy - I am a fairly new subscriber and I love your videos. I wanted to ask where you get your Kraft color paper? Is it like a thin cardstock?
Denise Williams This paper is Recollections from Michael's. It is 65lb cardstock. Hope that helps.
***** Thanks!
Please so a school calendar and planner for elementary to middle school
Concerning bubbling, I have seen another person spritz the paper with water. That might help.
I got my composition books for 10 dents!😊
love it !!
What kind of glue is that
The “&” page would be good for the back as an indicator that there is more (another 6 inch
PRETTY
I love to use clear contact paper to make my cover's more durable.
where do do get the fine tips for your glue?
+Becky Rook The glue I use is called Art Glitter Glue, this is the link to it goo.gl/JtKjf0
The tip is a separate purchase and is linked on the same page as a
suggested item. I purchased the smaller size to start with and then I
got the refill bottle. I decided to just move the tip from my small
bottle to the refill instead of refilling the small bottle. I love it,
hope you will too!
using a foam brush will eliminate the need for a paint brush and the strokes.
Exciting tuts thx u
