I just love that watercolor butterfly fabric!!! So beautiful!
I really like that you are sharing some options and not just the fabric and paper you actually choose, it sparks my imagination to see alternatives! I love your final choices and the book turned out lovely! 😍 Looking forward to the May planning!
Love your fabric and it turned out great! Fabric is tricky to work with ! Love the corner, too! Can’t wait to see more! 😷🤗🥰❤️ thank you dear Barbara
Love it, for the closer you could also punch holes and use eyelets . That would look nice
You made it look so easy! The cover is beautiful and I can’t wait to see what else you come up with!!!!!🌸🌸
Thank you Angela! You can do it too! 😃❤️
This was so insanely helpful to me. I'm into embroidery and have been trying to figure out a method to cover journals with fabric I've done some on but it's been an absolute disaster until this video, so thank you so much. I'm so inspired!!! 💙
Yay! Have fun! 😊❤️
This turned out so beautiful!! I love the tiny bit of lace poking out of the spine. And the metal corner protectors (?) look so good!! Can’t wait to watch this journal progress!!
That turned out great! You can also just tie it with a ribbon, instead of adding anything permanent.. Love it!!
I am so jealous of that fabric!!! Beautiful choice for the book.
The cover is beautiful you’d never know it was your first time
Lol glad I'm not the only one who buys things and forget why! Lovely cover😍💖
😂😂😂 thanks! ❤️
Hello Barbara, what a find today. I am busy with a journal for a newborn and was wondering how to do the cover. WELL, you heard my cries for help and VIOLA, you were covering your new book. Thank you soooo much, now I know what to do and how to do it. It seems quite an easy process, but with me, you never know!!!!!. Perhaps glueing the cat to the cover !!!! LOL. ANYHOOOOO, thank you again for the inspiration and encouragment, you are a STAR. I also love the other materials, especially the wine one, although also not a big drinker, the labels are very cute. Hope you are well and keeping safe, Blessings and hugs as always from Cape Town. Diana
Thank you Diana! I’m so happy the timing worked so well for you! Have fun making yours! ❤️
It looked very easy. However, you did a very professional job. It is perfect! WOW! Absolutely love it. Can’t wait to see the papers.
Aw, thanks so much Carol! ❤️
The fabric you picked is beautiful! You did a great job covering your new planner 💕
Try cutting a bunch of times into some aluminum foil, and make sure to go the whole length of the scissors -- I cut into the foil and then fold it and into it again and again and it sharpens the scissors. But make sure you get the whole blade. You could concentrate on the bottom half first, cutting into the foil, and then the top half, if that's easier. :)
Thanks so much for the tip! ❤️
Barbara, this turned out so pretty. And that little detail of the lace at the top and bottom was just perfect addition. I’ve used book corners before and did have to add a touch of glue but they were smaller then the ones you used. Always enjoy your videos. TFS! ❤️
Thank you Pam! ☺️❤️
I look forward everyday, to seeing what you are creating. I am never disappointed in what you do. Thanks for sharing your beautiful creative ideas with the world! ❤️ all the things you are doing!
Aaaaw, thank you for your kind words! ❤️☺️
I haven't followed the making of a planner before; I would love to use a fabric to cover a book. I love love love this book cover, you made it look doable. As always Barbara, Thank you
Thanks Danuta! You can do it too! ❤️
Barbara this is wonderful!! The cover is gorgeous and I learned stuff, like covering the inside covers AND their facing pages and stuffing the fabric into the spine AND to put the crocheted lace in as well (in the color I voted for, I might add). 🗳😁👍
For various reasons I've not been BuJo-like I used to, and while it helped me greatly and I miss it I've kinda lost my enthusiasm for the way I did it in the previous years. I saw your prep video for April tho, and it was veerrrry appealing. I have some time yet to consider, maybe I'll join you for your new book.
Love you sweetheart, mom. Muah muah! 😘❤🌞🌵😘
Thanks mom! 😊 I’m happy you learned something new! ☺️ I would love it if you would give this a try! ❤️
Wow 🤩 that fabric is gorgeous and I love the inside papers too.
This will be such a beautiful planner.
Hugs
Maud
I love this cover ,
Beautiful! Love how you wrapped and finished the spine edge
Adding the lace into the spine really adds to the look of this gorgeous cover. I appreciate you showing several of your options for fabric and paper and giving your reasons for choosing or not choosing each one. I like to know the thought that goes into choices being made because it helps me see things I may not have noticed on my own.
I think the fraying of the edges on your fabric is so very pretty, and covering it with the paper seems such a shame. I know you said this is your first fabric cover, but have you ever seen or heard of anyone putting the paper on the inside cover first and then gluing the outside fabric on top of it? I know it sounds strange, and I am sure there is a good reason why it is done the way it is, but I do love the look of that frayed edge so much. I may give it a try and see what happens.
Thanks Jean! I’m glad seeing the thought process was helpful. I have never seen putting the paper under the fabric. Let me know how yours turned out. I guess most people prefer the neater look of not seeing the fabric edges...
Hi Barbara, you did a marvelous job adding fabric to a book. Love your choice of fabric and I agree with you orange isn’t one of my favorite colors either. Take care and stay safe. Hugs. Theresa
Thank you Theresa! ❤️
I've a few books with fabric, but always after I took the pages out. I was sitting here thinking, how is she going to do this? :D and then you did it and it looks amazing. For the tie closure you could punch eyelets into the front and back and put sari silk ribbon through each side to tie together. Gives it room for expansion. I love everything. All kinds of papers and styles. Mostly vintage though. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I appreciate the closure tip as well 😊
Your cover is absolutely beautiful. I love the fabric and the corners. Thanks . Looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey.
Thank you Paulette! ❤️
To sharpen scissors I sometimes cut aluminum foil and it works amazing!🤩
Love this cover ! It’s very pretty! Bravo on a job well done!
Perfect, you seem to glide through new experiences in book making
If it was me, there are heaps of things that go wrong lol
Still I have made a Ephemera holder from start to finish fabric cover🤔 not bad
Thank you
🇦🇺💐🌸
love that fabric picking the fabric is the hardest part for me but your choice is [erfect
This is beautiful - I love that fabric!
You did a great job covering this book, the headbands are just a perfect detail, great job! I love the fabric choice too! ❤️
I loved the way you place the fabric cover on. The cardstock is so pretty too! The bookends totally made it perfect! Tfs🦋❤️
I use fabric scissors for everything. You can sharpen them super easy at home or professionally if you wanted to. I think you did a great job for your first fabric covered book! Looks lovely!
Thank you Hannah! ❤️
Aye...muy bonito!😍 love it. I was also eyeing the other textile. The wine🍷 one. I kept thinking that it can be cut up to make labels or toppers with frayed eges. 😊
Thanks Barbara - good information and you're so pleasant to listen to and watch.
Beautiful fabric cover. Wonderful job!💚💚💚
I have some denim so I may have to try this! Looks so easy when you do it! 💕🥰
Thanks Pam! You got this! 👍🏻😃❤️
Love how it turned out! Gorgeos fabric!!💖
I loved the cover so much..one can never go wrong with flowers..the theme, the lace and the texture all sums up to be absolutely enchanting and stunning!😊
Hope you have a peaceful day!😊🌸

Looks lovely! I will give it a try. Thank you for inspiration!!
Love how the journal turned out. Great fabric choice.❤
Absolutely beautiful! I love your work!
Hey Barbara, how fortunate that this video was in my feed today! I am covering my new journal in fabric and your tips are timely and great. Thanks so much for sharing. Best wishes for 2022❣️
So pretty!!! Thank you for sharing!! I will definitely be using your video when doing my first fabric covered journal 💕 I love it!!
That's so pretty. Thank you for sharing the video.
The fabric choice is beautiful. 😘
Came out beautifully!
As always beautiful work! ❤️ it!
Thank you so much for this video! I love your videos! I look forward to watching all of them.
Once again a gorgeous cover. :-) Thanks für sharing!
So pretty Barbara!!! On the edges near the binding if it looks luke it might fray where you cut it... just add a dab of fray check or Glue. You can never go wrong with butterflies 🦋💛🦋 such a spring like fabric. I think a pair if dollar scissors would have cut that fabric better.... lol.
Thank you Laura! I appreciate the tip as well! 👍🏻😊❤️
What gorgeous fabric Barbara, it works so well as a journal cover. Tfs, Christina
That is beautiful! Gorgeous fabric and inside papers.
I have made a fabric covered book but I took the guts out so it was a bit easier. Nice tips for the spine 😊
This cover is beautiful!!! You always inspire me. TFS😘
I love how this turned out, Barbara! Hugs!
Barbara, your cover came out amazing! I love the colors and especially the butterflies! Hope you are doing well. Have a nice week! Hugs💕
Great fabric for the cover! The one I did I used fabric for the insides as well. Not a great solution so I will use papers next time! Love the papers you chose to go inside. I wasn't sure when you first chose them but then they looked just perfect!
Watching a second time before I attempt to cover a book. This was a great tutorial. I love your outlook, if something doesn’t work you’ll find a way to fix it! Thanks
Hola Barbara, sind die Cover, soooo schön geworden, warte gerne auf die Seiten. Frühling ist mit dir bei mir angekommen... LG, aus Spanien
Danke Maribel und liebe Grüße nach Spanien! ❤️
Looks like fun❣
Very well done but I expected nothing less. Just fabulous.
Aw, thanks Sheryl! ☺️❤️
That really turned out great!! I love it❤️
Wow...that turned out beautiful.
Love that fabric!

Guten Morgen, wieder toll gemacht. Was für ein wunderschöner Stoff. Bin gespannt, wie es weiter geht. LG von Rosita Danke
Love the cover!
Lovely remodel!😊❤
Stunning, you did a great job
wow! that was beautiful!
Great tutorial! Love the book cover, your fabric is so beautiful 💜💜💜 Sending hugs Sherry
I absolutely love your planners! I use a typical bullet journal right now but can't hold back being creative in it and she gets really chubby...lol! I am considering an altered book planner for my next one because of yours!! Thank you for the inspiration!
Your fabric choice is beautiful!! Tough choice as they are all so pretty!!
I love how you are never afraid to try something new! The lace and the metal book corners are a perfect addition!!
She turned out absolutely beautiful and she is going to be fun to work in!!
Great job, Barbara!!
And your pliers....so cute!!
Thanks so much Kerri! 🥰 I do hope you will try an altered book! It’s just so much more unique! Let me know! ❤️
@@49dragonflies It really is a unique way to create a daily planner!! I'm in the process of completing an altered journal but it is for all my favourite recipes and I'm loving how it is turning out! I can only imagine a planner being just as (if not more) satisfying!! Can't wait to see your May monthly printables!!
Looking forward to the May freebies!
Turned out great!
That's beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Lovely job, it looks beautiful and the fabric is so cute. I have to give this a try. Thank you 💜💜
Thanks! Have fun with this! ❤️
That fabric is gorgeous! It turned out amazing! xx
I have missed listening to you! You make it fun!! I love that. I am behind on watching so many videos! Catching up while cleaning today. Have a great day!💜💜
I’m happy you are back! 😃 I hope my videos made cleaning a bit more enjoyable! 😃❤️
Your book turned out beautiful. Well done! 👏🦋💕
Love love love it!!!Thankyou so much for taking the time to make this video xxxxx
Very pretty fabric Barbara, turned out great!
That's so pretty 🦋 thank you for showing your process it turned out really well tfs ❤️
Thank you for this video. You gave me a great idea for a birthday present for my nephew.
How easy did you make that look, I'm definitely giving this a go thanks Barbara. Loved the lace at the top of the spine
Thanks! Have fun with this! 😃❤️
And btw- this absolutely turned out great!!! I’m also just venturing into covering books with fabric! So you really inspired me and gave me hope that I wouldn’t totally ruin it!!! But my dilemma is papers for inside! And so many of those would go with my materials I have (unsure of which yet I’m using!) thank you for posting this!
Thanks! Just go for it. I’m sure it will turn out beautifully!
Thanks so much! I’m going to get some fabric! 🤗💕🦋
I love all your beautiful ideas and videos 🥰
Das Cover ist super geworden! Gerade für deinen ersten Versuch, es mit Stoff zu bekleben - wow! Gratulation, ist sehr schön geworden und ich kann mir vorstellen, selbst längere to-do-Listen in diesen Planer einzufügen, wird einfach Spaß machen ;) Danke für den kleinen sneak peek, ich bin sehr gespannt auf deine neuen Seiten. Sie sehen toll aus! Hoffen wir, dass der Frühling dann auch endlich kommt - und bleibt! 💐😊 Gaaaaanz liebe Grüße nach Wien 💕
Danke Alexandra! Frühling wäre jetzt endlich sehr willkommen! GLG Barbara ❤️
