"If it's smoking turn it off"😂 love that.

That is really cool! Thanks so much for this tutorial, I had no idea I could do this at home without damaging the pages!

Thanks for this!!! Also found a way to bind them super cheap from another youtuber - JI Colourist - using a heavy duty hole punch that punches for the happy planner discs and then you can disc bind them that way you can always take out pages and organize however you want!

I used to cut pages out with a craft knife but didn't like the result so I just stopped, which also kind of kept me from coloring more in these kinds of books. This will be such a big help! Thank you so much for sharing! 💕

Thank you 💜 This was simple and useful video for those of us that like to scan our pages to use different paper.

Ahhhh this is genius! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I had no idea. Sometimes my grandkids want to color the same photo as me and I tried copping it on the copy machine but get the gray stripe down the edge.

If you don't have a heat gun using your hair dryer on low to heat the glue in the book, I have taken apart two coloring books, the only thing is every page is still tacky with glue and they stick together.

I’ve been waiting for this video! Thanks for sharing!❤😊

I've done this for years, because I hate coloring inside of a book, but I didn't have a heat gun. It definitely takes a lot longer to break the spine and slowly pull out a few pages at a time, than when using a heat gun. I have taken an X-ACTO knife to slowly shave off the thicker part of the glue from the spine, making sure to have the book face down on a self-healing sewing mat.

Thank you for showing us this method of loosening your pages, because very often the book binding throws the picture off center or makes it impossible to get to the whole picture when the binding won't open enough to enable the very edge of the picture to be reached for coloring. Also, in many books two page spreads are not aligned very well, with the lines of the artwork not meeting on both pages. I did notice that using the paper cutter in the last step seemed to throw the picture off center on the page. Is there some way to avoid this? You definitely should be given an award for patience when using this method. Thank you for giving us a realistic view if how long it really takes.

Great tutorial!! Lots of useful tips for doing it safely. The results are very nice!🙋👍

I've done this before with books, my hairdryer worked just as well but took slightly longer

Thank you so much for letting me know how to do this! I already the link and got one to use on my coloring books. 😌

Great video Kori. Never thought of trying this. I once tried cutting apart one of my colouring books with a box cutter and a ruler... (I don't recommend this) a good way to cut fingers. The ruler tends to slide. I didn't lose any fingers it was just a hassle. From then on I took my books to a printing shop to have multiple books done.

works great for perfect bound books. Case bound books tend to be sewn instead of glued, then you have 'saddle sewn' which has staples.

Awesome video!! Makes me want to separate all my Amazon books now lol 😂 Thank you for sharing, Kori!! Take care!💕💕💕

Great video! I’ll give it a shot with my Dyson 🤣 because I don’t have a heat gun! I also like scanning my pages, and you are right, scanning from the book is hard to flatten it out when in the scanner!

Thanks for showing how to do this! Very informative. 💜

Thank you so much for this video. When I took one of my coloring books to a print shop, they told I had to take it apart myself and then they would spiral bound for me. I won’t tell you how much they charged for it, but the outcome was not good. It looked good when I did a quick flip through, but when I got home and took a real good look at it, well let’s just say I was quite disappointed in the outcome. So did others myself with a slicing tool and put each coloring page in a sheet protector, and I keep them in a binder, which I like much better. I’d like to give your way a try next time I want to do this, but I’ll have to use a hair dryer.lol. Great 👍 tutorial video. 👍👍💞💞👏🏽👏🏽

This was great-thanks for sharing!

Kori thank you! This was such a helpful and detailed video. Love your videos and channel.

Thank you for this video. I needed it. ✌

Thank you for posting this! I was just thinking about this yesterday. Do you have a link for your paper cutter? It looks like it higher quality and the size is perfect.

This was really helpful. Thanks for demonstrating this.

🤩 🌟 Brilliant 🌟 🤩

Excellent. Thank you.

thank you hun...interesting to see

thank you for the video

You might want to put something on your table top to protect especially if it’s a veneer that might lift up from the heat.

Great video,have you thought about maming a disc bound book? I've done thst to all my bools, much easier.

Will a hairdryer work?

Hi! Can I use a blow dryer? Love your channel, thank you for all thir advice! I appreciate you very much!

awesome tysmfs

I use a hairdryer and do the same thing.

Great idea mate! Wonder if Mr 13 would do it for 10 cents a book for me lol. Thanks for sharing 🐨💕

Kinkos will cut the spine off any book or magazine for $1.00.

I didn’t know we could copy the books!?

Would a hair dryer on high heat work ? I don't have a heat gun

I am colouring a Mythographic book and the pages are falling out. I’ve tried to find 10” x 10” page protectors but can’t . Does anyone have any suggestions for keeping the pages safe?..🥰
