Being over detailed is my jam, lol. It's one of the things I love about your channel. You are always very clear about the tiny details!

Mitered corners are a thing of beauty. We all know we can Sense Them even when they're out of sight! 😁

@phoebea Жыл бұрын

Nik, you're a veritable genius! From the unnecessary (but totally necessary) mitered corners, using wrapping paper to decorate the sides of the box, to the ribbon lift, I was/am in awe of all the little tricks I learned in this video. Thanks for an awesome project idea!

Another great project. Really useful if you have an embellished cover on your book that could be damaged rubbing on neighboring books when you take it off the shelf.

Have you ever made one of those boxes that actually look like a book? Would like it very much if you did a tutorial on that. Have been watching a lot of different ones but I would like to defer to you as you are as precise as I am. Thank you so much for all of your videos they are fantastic! Keep on going!

Liking the video before I even watch it because I know it’s going to be great! I always do a little happy dance (not literally, just in my head) when I see a new video pop up!

I always thought I wasn't interested in box building, but after seeing this, I at least have to try it. Your lovely book is very deserving of the beautiful box.

Fab! I can see so many uses for a sturdy box like that. It could also make a fairly mundane book gift look extra special couldn’t it. I pleased to hear your voice sounding much better - hope that reflects how you feel!

Nik… one video a week is not cutting it for me anymore. Seriously, you need to do a weekly live video or something. Just turn on the camera while you work, doesn’t even need to be edited. Just a live Nik rambler. We needs it, man. We needs the “welcome back welcome back” more often.

Fantastic. Thank you for the clear directions. 🥰 Knowing how to customize the box size will be really helpful when I make boxes for my gift books and journals. 📚It just makes them look so much more special. 🤔I think I'll add a bit of a flap-closure to the inside box top (with a magnet on it and on the box side) so that it can close easily. People I know don't like the 'fussiness' of tying ribbons. I have some that are magnetic snaps and would work really well with this.
