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

@ultraviolet13881 3 жыл бұрын

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. :)

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! ❤️

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.

@49dragonflies 3 жыл бұрын

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...

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.

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! 😘❤🌞🌵😘

Love this video and the beautiful cover so much, thankyou as always for sharing and inspiring. I’ve long wanted to try covering a book with material. My favourite journal is one I bought back in 1978, already covered in pretty maroon floral fabric, and I used it as a diary for each of our six children’s early years. One of my most treasured possessions. Sending best wishes across the miles from Australia to Austria ❤️
