EXACTLY ! This was exactly what I always think also, the integrity of the iconic spine ! Thank you.

Great minds think alike.. I too was concerned about loosing the golden book spine and did the same thing. I love your red!! I had never seen a red spine before! So pretty. I have also made some that the spine is completely covered but that is when the spine is in an overly loved condition! LOL. Thank you for sharing my dear daughter!

Wait..what!!!! This is another example of your brilliantness, crafty teacher! You nailed the project--I would have never altered a Golden Book until now. Thank you, Stacy--once again--love your style.

I know this is an older video , however it's very easy to remove the gold strip if you heat it with a heat gun . It practically pops off on it's own once the glue is warmed . Then the staples can be easily removed etc

Oh my gosh I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea. You are so right the spine is so iconic and i am thrilled you figured out how to keep it. I just put a new spine on my Little Golden Book. Your instructions were spot on. Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to finish mine.

Here’s a game changer for you!! If you take a heat gun and heat the foil spine, it will peel right off the golden book🙌. Then, you can add that spine back wherever you want!!

Hands up. I’m a walking disaster too! As a matter of fact, I don’t even need to walk for disaster to happen 😂, it’s just always around me like an aura. I think it might be just part of being creative 😉. Love your idea of keeping the iconic GB spine! Thank you for figuring it out and showing us xx

I had the same thought about the gold spine. Its part of what makes the book feel nostalgic.I pop all the staples and out, pull the pages out, and then cut down the middle of the spine. I just use a book binding hole punch tool and put in mixed media paper. I use them for sketchbooks.

Did you know if you heat the spine label with a heat gun, it will come right off and then it's easy to get the staples out.

@Jana-TheCraftyGambler 4 жыл бұрын

Mimi Sloan, This works like a charm! It’s also how I get stickers off of books when I buy them at thrift stores. I’m like you, Stacy, I always wondered why this isn’t done more. I have seen one other person do this (Sally’s junk journal journey). She heated up the spine and the foil strip comes off in one piece with no damage from the staples. Then she took out the staples, and for the spine, she cut a piece like you did, but instead of placing it on top of the 2 little flaps, she made it flush with them by taking a piece of paper and gluing the spine pieces to it. She took the little foil piece and glued it back onto the spine. It’s kind of hard to explain but it was really cute when she finished.

Thank you for this tutorial. I just COULD NOT all but destroy an old Golden Book. I will leave the gold part intact and just make a 1" thick book. That was my original intention anyway. Thank you for sharing this with us.

If you take a heat gun and slowly melt the wax on the golden spine, you can easily remove it intact. Makes it much easier to have the whole piece for the spine.

Stacy, could you 'soak' the red spine off, without destroying the cover?

@PinkPoodleCrafts 5 жыл бұрын

No I dont think that would be a good idea... the paper is so thin that it would likely fall to pieces and really there is no need to do so considering you can keep it intact without doing that :)

@plhatfield56 4 жыл бұрын

I love this method and like that you don't have to cover the front art work. I would really like to keep the size of the covers the same so that the inside pages still fit without having to cut or fold them... Anyone know how to do that? Hope i am making sense. :-) So the foil would still be on the back and front, with a new spine... Thanks!

If you would pry at the back of the book it would come apart easier. And stop cutting it with a razor. And I already do the same as you. Watch paintalot video''s she does this easily.
