- I started with ironing my fabric for the spin. I constructed the spine and put together one signature with the story line in tact.
Thank you Wendy,I loved your video,amd hearing about you and your families trip! 🙏❤️
Thank you so much!
I use my heat gun to lift gold foil from book. When glue melts, it lifts off on it's own. Remove staples and signatures and separate covers. Cut down center of foil and reglue back onto cover edges.
What a great idea!
You can use your heat gun ( or blow dryer)and warm up the spine,it will release the golden spine,once it's removed then separate your signatures from your front and back covers
Thank you! I’ll have to give that a try.
As best I can tell by watching, I appreciate your technique. However, I couldn't learn much because you talk little about what you are doing. I hate to be critical, but you could teach so much about your craft if you talked about what you are doing. You did produce a beautiful journal.
Thank you for your comment. I’ll try to do better. I did another spine recently. Maybe I explained the process better in this video. ua-cam.com/video/_1R53jD4c8E/v-deo.htmlsi=Fnja2oxMafO5yUun
Hi, for cutting the pages down and putting them back together - I see you are see double sided tape but what did you tape them together to? Just back to the original page? Sorry I couldn’t tell and would like to make these books since I have a bunch!
These pages are perforated. But I do the same thing with solid pages. I cut the pages on the fold. Then I measure 1/2 inch from the cut edge and score it so I can fold it. I put my 1/4 inch double sided tape near the crease on the 1/2 inch side of the fold. Then I cut that 1/2 inch down to something closer to 1/4 inch. Though it’s not exact. Then I nest the 2 pieces of paper together. I’ll make another video on this to make it more clear.

I hope I did a better job in this new video to answer your question. I will be stitching these pages into the spine in the next week or two and I’ll be sure to point out where the papers overlap.
