I love this video. It shows the real struggle in altering comp books. I find it easier to line the 12x12 with the binder and leave overlap on top, bottom, and right sides. This allows me to cut it exact to the comp book. I’m always trimming anyhow, loL! The scrap that gets cut off is perfect to make pockets. Your comp book are very pretty 😊

This is SO nice! So many "junk" journal makers load it up so full and go all the way to the inside of the page. I watched MayMay and she said just what you said...DON'T DO IT! You're right. I don't want to make books that don't close well. If it's a gift, the recipient can add the bulk if they want to; but, for me...I don't want to add a bunch of "junk" to make it bulky. Each to their own; but, I love the way you do it. :)

As u said u can leave the tape on on the bottom while working with the top, another way that makes using tape easier is to on the tape only pull half of the backing off and let the bit u pulled off just hang then gently put the side down that the backing is off but don't press down then get it aligned, press it down and reach under and pull the rest of the backing off. I make mini albums from scratch and Shellie Geigle has teaching videos on her channel and that's how she teaches beginners to do it until they r more confident in their abilities.

I really enjoy your videos about altering composition books. I use my embellished composition books as art journal / thumbnail sketch / scratch books. I use multi-media -- wet & dry in my books -- depending on how I feel that day and what art & images I've been exposed to / inspired by recently. I prepare the composition sheets randomly for the days I express myself for play in wet media. That prep includes using gloss or matte medium, gesso, -- any medium that strengthens the pages allowing me to express myself in the future. Karen Campbell, and others have some great videos on You Tube about the benefits of this daily art expression exercise. For me the practice with various methods and colors, media and medium is helping me to learn to draw and how to be a disciplined student (draw & paint based on thumbnail sketches and grids, etc. Ft) -- it's where I incorporate new information about composition, color theory, science of acrylic pouring ... It's natural, fun and follows the inspiration of teachers and mentor sources I connect with online and in print.

I have enjoyed your video...my Grandma said, "nut behind the wheel." I've made probably 25 of these, but I do wrap-a-round method, so the inconsistent sizes of the composition books isn't as noticeable.

I never thought to ink the edges. I made my first composition book today and used an emery board to clean up the edges. Next time…I’ll try ink 😮
@tonya2436 Жыл бұрын
Wouldn't it be easier to cut your paper a little bigger than you actually need and then trim it to fit. Glue or tape the paper on then open your book with the inside facing up and trim excess paper off around the edges with an exacto knife
@cherryhill765710 ай бұрын
Rhats what I do, cut the paper just a kittle larger.
@debbieklapmeier2505 Жыл бұрын
To get the edges of the covers even after trimming, I like to use one of those thick nail files and rub onver the edges. It melds the two surfaces together. Then, I ink the edges. I works well.

And for rounding the corners, instead of trying to cut around the corner use the corner chomper and cut the front and back covers then u can use the same one to round the corners on the cardstock and boom they match.

These are super cute. I love your choice of paper. I’ve been making an attempt at covering a composition book with paper and it does seem that the composition book is not square.
@deborahtownsend50423 жыл бұрын
If you lack just a little bit between your paper and the black spine of the book couldn't you use a black sharpie to fill the gap in either before glueing your paper down or even carefully after glueing the paper down? I have also seen where someone lightly sanded their book so the paper would glue down better. Gives it a little bit of roughness and gets rid of it being so slick so the paper stays glued better.

Use a old gift card to smooth out your page after gluing it down on your paper, it will spread out the glue underneath and leaves no lumps

You can use the handle of your scissors, or you can use a ruler or the dull side of a bread and butter knife. Really anything that is flat, not too sharp but stiff so it will press onto the fold that you are trying to get a nice crisp fold.
