What a great idea to start at the very beginning, actually sourcing the book. Look forward to seeing it transform.

If you are mindful of where the signatures are, removing pages from a book that is sewn is pretty straightforward. Each signature is typically 4 to 7 pages. (That is 4 to 7 pages folded in half, with the stitching down the center, making 8 to 14 pages in the book, if that makes sense.) If you find the center of a signature (where you see the stitching), it's easy enough to take out that entire page. Then, from there, you can count back a page or two and remove another page. Once you've carefully torn it out on one side, you should be able to easily remove it from the other side. Then, move on to the next signature and repeat.

Love to see where you shop...it looks like my country and I will absolutely going to look after new books to day..I really miss looking after books. But I have SO MANY and I have bought some really old ones and when I comes home I think they are so beautiful that I don’t want to cut them off so I am going to make a old book case in my living room with only old beautiful books. After we moved into this old farmhouse we have the space and I have alway wanted a old bookcase. I absolutely LOVE old books.📚 I have seen some different people make altered books and some says the sew in pages is the best because they don’t get ripped out so easily. When I rip out my pages I just find the middle of the signature and rip out 2-4 pages and does it with all the signature. My pages sits very secured. I have tried the glued pages but they gets very easily ripped in the spine. Maybe I do something wrong. I will work on the side with you and I am look forward to seeing what you make 👏👏👏 Thanks for sharing your lovely ideas 🙏😀 Hugs Tina 🍁🍂

@49dragonflies 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks For your feedback, Tina! Your bookcase with the old books will surely be amazing!!!! Your method with the sewn in pages will work, but you need to be a lot more methodical on which pages you take out. I will add glue to the spine as we glue pockets down so that should help keep them in. Happy you will be joining me in this project! ☺️❤️👍🏻

@gailagilliland3268 3 жыл бұрын

I make altered hardback journals but I use card stock on 10 to 12 double-sided spreads. The last few I have made are used books with glued and spines. However, I have found that with these spines, by the time I have torn out extra pages and glued everything together, the two facing pages with card stock have split apart at the spine. The spine is still in the same place so I realize this seems/sounds strange LOL. Just today I had to go back in and add washi tape to the inside edges of about half of the pages. Have you ever had this occur? TIA ♥️

This is a wonderfully and helpful series. I enjoyed watching how you select your books. I particularly like how you describe in order the way you fold, count, and tear your pages. Yesterday, I found a perfect book at Dollar tree and when I was ready to begin working on my journal, I started reading this delightful novel, so I couldn't tear it up! Back I went to Dollar Tree and found another book to use. I have finished your first two videos, making my journal along with you. Now I am ready to begin the 3rd video and doing the fun stuff! Thanks so much for helping me start my first journal adventure. I love your site.

I've just started an altered book for the first time and I am finding it a bit overwhelming 😳 my channel is fairly new so I think I would love to follow your series. My book is a bit bigger but I altered it before I even thought of starting a KZfaq channel so I would really like to persevere with it now. 🤗💐

So nice to go with you in the goodwill store. We used to go over here every month and that was the only store I go in because it’s never to busy but now with the increase of Covid over here ( 10.000 today,) we even don’t go there anymore for some weeks. So I am lucky to go with you😃😃 The marbled once’s I loved too and I am curious how you are going to alter this one in your creative way. Have a nice weekend! Big hugs Maia

Hi sweetie, thank you for taking me on your journey! It's so good to go to a good will 💗 I love the one that you took for this project. I'm looking forward to how this will turn out. Well, beautiful of course 😘 But... please say you didn't leave those marble cover books at the good will... 🤔😳 they were beautiful. Hugs, Maureen

Thank you. Surely you could remove every other signature from a sewn book or remove both pages from a pair. I’m glad you didn’t choose the lost girl book, my rudimentary German had already let me understand the meaning before you said.

Thanks Lucy! Yes, you could certainly do that, you just need to be more methodical than with glued pages.

Stephanie, she uses acrylic paint. You can actually add color to your Mod Podge to make it look older, yellowed or even patina if you want.
