That's a great tip to use the sanding block to smooth out and age the mod podge bubbles! I'm really liking these storage 'books' and am thinking they would be really cute to give with a handmade journal... decorate the storage book to match the journal, and attach a simple closure over the opening to hold the journal inside.
2 years later! I did the whole thing with double sided tape. I also did cover with fabric as well. I made a larger storage folder with an Amazon box. Never thought I could make it, but went stoically on, and voila 1 hour later, I finished. 😅thanks Pam for all these videos. Making things I never thought I could possibly make. 😂
It might be easier to glue the gusset fabric on the outside of the cover before you put on the paper cover if you see what I mean great idea
I so enjoy crafting with you because : 1- I always make a mess! (and no longer mind it) 2- Have fun being creative with you. 3- Finally using supplies I have had for years. 4- Using everything I have and not buying anything. Encourages me to be more creative. Thank you!
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Elias Flynn Instablaster =)
@Timothy Kamden i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Timothy Kamden It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account !
@Elias Flynn glad I could help xD
You can spritz the paper with water before glueing that might help with the wet bubbles. Great idea!!
It is good that you share it with us when you struggle. Makes us not feel so bad.
Suggestion : doing it over 2 days would be simpler. You glue one side, then wait until the next day to do the other when the 1st is stable.
I love listening to you. You have an amazing personality. The crafting is a bonus. You make me want to create.
Agreed
She makes me want to plan a trip to vacation at her house...oh the learning and fun we could have...lol
I love this idea! My mom would probably cringe at a lot at these crafts because she is a retired librarian and bibliophile! I love books too, but I have NO problem tearing one up for the sake of art! As far as sewing the gussets to the book cover, you'd want to pre-poke all the holes for sewing and hand stitch it. You could probably machine stitch it, but I personally wouldn't want to risk missing the holes and messing up my machine. Love your videos!
Love! Please more diy for junk journal storage. So fun!!!
Pam, you could totally turn these into purses! Add straps or handles, and a closure, then BOOM! A gorgeous, one of a kind purse! :D
You have one of the best vocabularies I’ve heard in a long time!
I adore just listening to your voice Pam! And now I am hopelessly in love with that little bird!
I simply love watching you create! You really enjoy what you are doing and has inspired me to broaden my horizons! Thank you.
This is a great idea! I keep alo of my paper in frozen Pizza boxes.
Fitting oxymoron for stolen book yer using: UNBORED !!!! Have you ever been????
Hubby just got a shredder so I had to put up “NO TRESPASSING “ signs on My three rooms sewing/crafts/writing office. No entry and no snitching my scraps. My scraps equal my sanity. But in his Amazon Mail were two boxes with two generous spines and lovely overlap so pretty paper will be protected. Found an old Hermès bag that had survived a savage cat attack. 💼 handle will be lovely on my paper holder. TYFT
This is a great storage container. I may try a couple. I'm going to cover the spine with the same cloth used for the 'gusset', but I'll glue the fabric down on the outside of the cover to avoid all of the hassle of trying to get the fabric right on the inside of the cover. That would be a personal nightmare for me. It would also do away with having to try to gesso over the edges and spine too. If the decorative paper to use on the outside covers is too thin to glue smoothly over the fabric on the edges, I'll use chipboard, cereal box salvage, or manila (or heavier) file folders to glue the deco paper on before adding it to the outside. Thanks for sharing.
Patricia, my thoughts exactly. My patience level without doing it this way would be off the charts!!! 😂😂😂
Chocolate, chips, and cheese are my go-tos for emergencies!
Beautiful covers and project!
I just don't have any books to do this. But I will watch for any I find. Great idea.
Check thrift shop- cheap books usually can find them in good shape- (watch out for any mildew-)

Ok Pam, I had a brainstorm while watching this old video. If you put a book or box inside the cover with the “width of choice” and almost as tall as your book cover, you can pull your flaps up and over, then apply glue where you need it, close the other cover on them to get them squished onto the glue and tada, gussets are done! Not sure if that made sense to anyone, but it sounds good in my head!
We are so blessed we have something to do we enjoy instead of telling "bored"!. Yelling
I'm making one of these using the box from my dog food. I may have went on a pocket making spree last night 👀, so now I need a place to store them 😂
"Just a little tip from the trenches." 😂 Love it Pam. Always reminds me of Good Morning, Vietnam for some reason.
LOLOL :)
L))
Those copper scissors are so beautiful! ✂️
Ive got to try this!!! I love it!! BUT I want to have mine open at the top so I can store them in a book case!!! Also I think using covered chipboard might be easier for the sides. It will give you more control!! BUT I love it!!! Thank you so much!!
Great idea! :)
I was wondering whether you could have glued the fabric gussett to top and bottom and then put the text block (pages you removed) back in place to fold the gussett fabric onto it, place glue and then close book cover. Wouldn't this alleviate the need to use the ruler etc to make a tight connection between gussett and book cover?
I like your suggestion!! :)
Was about to suggest the same!
Lol that was my suggestion too. Just makes sense.
Michele Stamp or a 1x1 block of wood
That was pretty much my idea, except I was thinking you might not have the text block so was thinking of making a jig of sorts or use another book to drape the fabric over, with glue on the book or on the fabric....either way would work. But..... MY way is going to be even easier hahaha I'm not going to make one muahahashga not that way that is. I'm going to lay it down with the front cover being the lid and the walls and dividers will be cardboard to organize my little bits like washi, paper clips, pens, etc. 🤗
Love the sanding results!
I saw another CZcamsr who used wax paper and ironed the wrinkles a little!! I like the wrinkles look- it does look like cracks and aged! I think she did the writing board that way- I saw hers after yours. I made a writing board so thanks for the inspiration!
"We're on to something, who knew!" I love it :) thank you so much for sharing with us!
This is lovely! Heading to the Dollar Store for a book...Suggestion? When you glue the fabric on the inside spine, perhaps put it down first and then glue your pretty papers on top of it to prevent catching and allowing easy “egress”...Hugs...❤️❤️❤️
Check out the Goodwill outlet store. Cheaper, better quality covers and some awesome vintage finds.
@@laurelhess2836 thank you! I love my Goodwill and have found some great books there... awesome place to shop...❤️❤️❤️
i like this tutorial i feel inspired to try and take it a step further and see if i can make a purse like this
-Great idea, I think I'll make some for Christmas card storage.
He he he . Chocolate is my friend. I lurv the technique with the cracks . And sandpaper is very handy TFS.
So much fun to watch and learn!
Good morning Pam! Woo hoo! Love this storage caddy! So happy to see you this morning, and spend time with you! Love the chatter. So much fun! Have a most Wonderful Day take care 🌹❤️
Thank you! You too!
You make the coolest things! 😍
Hello Pam! Long time ago a professional cutler told me to clean adhesives from scissors and other metal blades like exacto knives with a little white vinegar on a piece of an old t-shirt or other lint free cloth. Reason: it will not pit or cause your blades to rust. Second suggestion is to use a citrus based cleaning oli found at most hardware stores or places like walmart. I use one called Goo-B-Gone
You are hilarious, so funny. I talk to my project and I dont make videos. Praise it when its working out and tell it off for being naughty ..... lol When you were gluing i wanted to dip my hand into the screen to help you out. But you had it covered. I love this idea, its going to be a big hit in crafting land on you tube. A huge thumbs up from me. well done!!!!!!!!
This is such a great idea. I have many old books that are going to be scrapped and this is a great idea and nice storage 😄👍
Pam,
I can't wait to try this.
Marietta Billups
I have used Mod Podge on large canvases where I put a poster on the canvas with the mod podge. When the bubbles popped up I just put a tiny pin hole in the middle of it and press the air out of the bubble. Smooths right out. 😁 but it is cool looking to sand them bubbles out!
I had never heard of junk journal until i was bored the other night and came across your videos. You are brilliant. I really want to try to do one but what are they actually used for?
Also i absolutely love this storage caddy, you make it all look so easy but i know that it will not be easy if i give it a go lol. Which i cant wait to do.
I love the way you do your videos, using your hands to express everything and talking to your scraps etc. It’s fantastic and extremely entertaining. Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful art and i cant wait to have a go x
Pam, after one side of the gusset put a book the same size in side the book...it is weight on the one side of the glued fabric then flip the other side of the fabric up on top of said book..put glue on the edge then close the book cover down on inside book and it is done. After glued fabric is dry remove inside book and the mouth opening is exactly the width you want.
Hi Pat Versteeg! Fantastic idea! I love it!!! Thanks so much for sharing! :) Pam :) !!
Love your ideas Pam and your videos
I would mess it up, ill try glueing fabric on the outside with bigger pieces and see if that works better for me. 😆😅
Totally cool idea!....and beautiful. 🙂
Good morning from sunny Wisconsin. Home from visiting my sister so now I am catching up on videos. Love the warbles as it so explains those wrinkles. You are so fun. Thank you for the humor. ❤️❤️❤️
I just got a glue eraser from the Dollar Tree. It looks like it's cut from the sole of a Clark's Wallaby. I haven't used it yet but It looks promising. It would be nice to save my asetone for my dolls and fingernails ♥
Every Queen needs a crown 👑
How true! :)
OMG!! This is amazing! I thought you're other ideas were great, but this is just amazing!! Thank you for sharing your amazing ideas x
Now that's reckless abandon!!!! WooHoo!!! 🥰. Oooohhhh. So sorry about the dental owies...I feel your pain 😳😖 been there, done that! 😣😖
I love this!!!! I am using a few of my books to do this. so easy to store and find. again, I love this idea...thank you Pam.
You are so welcome!
Brilliant Idea Pam Thank You For The Inspiration, Will Watch Part Two TYFS Hugs Lynn 🤗🦋🌸🌈🇬🇧
You are so welcome
Oh my goodness! Waiting for a video like this for a long time. Great idea ! Love it. Now i ' ll take all of the books in my house and try this😄😄i truly need this to keep those papers organized and without the curling too!!!! Yeaaaaaaah😊😊😊😊
Have fun!
Un vrai plaisir pour moi de vous suivre dans vos créations. J'adore votre énergie et votre bonne humeur même si je ne comprends pas tout 😂. Bonne journée Pam💚
That’s a good idea! I will do that after my injury heal first. Thank you, Pam. Have a good day.
Great idea! I use old wine boxes. They're large and sturdy cardboard.😁
You are hilarious! I love watching you create. Thank you for sharing your fabulous ideas and your sense of humor! xxx
I just love this idea!!
Oh Pam! I absolutely love your videos. You are so creative and you have so much fun! Can't wait to make this!
I miss traveling so bad it hurts. But more time to paper craft right? I have a few very large books that have just been begging to become something useful. Perfect project woohoo! Thanks, Pam. Still got the door closed on poor Holly? I miss his commentary, but my poor cat Amok Amok gets a bit upset when he hears Holly sound off. He looks at my ipad with a really mean look in his eyes 😎 That sanding block method is brilliant! Wow! My disaster pants can be saved! 🥰
Hi Karma Lee Nash! Best words ever! :)
IKEA sells all kinds of storage boxes:) but I did like your idea to store your little cutout pictures and stickers! I’ve watched you all day from the Radisson Blu Hotel in Vilnius Lithuania... because yeah, everything is closed!
This is so nice. I needed to see it as I am going to make one to hold the two journals that I made For Kaci, my 14 yr old great granddaughter
what a fantastic idea thank you for sharing 😘
A block of wood would help you space and glue the gussets. Have the block of wood the same thickness as your book opening and it will also act as a support while working on the project.
This is a Saturday Morning Wow Factor !!
Thank You so
Much Pam ! Crazy Awesome !😊❤️
You are so welcome!
Found the metal rulers at the Dollar Tree for a dollar they're great I bought three of them
I love watching your videos!
I like the caddy. Very nice pam. I got to make one for my stuff. I have too much.
Go for it!
I don´t know if it would be easier or any way better, but the fabric on the sides, I would have cut them in two, sewn the edges for strength and then glued them on the book and hand sew the two pieces together after when the glue dried, then you can have fun with stitches and go mayhem on the sides :D 💜 maybe put some eyelets on both sides and use a string to give it a corset look? then you have the option to loosen it up if you need the room :)
But, I have no complaints on your approach, it´s a solid and good way of doing it :)
I REALLY L.O.V.E this idea! I´m always after good storage, and I´ve had problems finding something that fit my needs, this is a wonderful solution! :D easy, fun, creative and just adorable! :D 💜
What a gorgeous idea! Thank you for this wonderful idea.😊🌸🌹🌸
Smart idea Pam 🤗🥰😘
Can’t wait to make this-- easy -- fun- & something different- what a nice idea.....thanks....
Have fun dearest Lorraine!
Wow! A great idea for my cutout pictures to keep them from curling! Love the idea Pam! 👍
You are so welcome!
With Modpodge is best to use a brayer to smooth it down. I also have a card that smooth the paper. They came with my Mod Podge. I love it. There are so many types. I love this idea.
When I saw you had two videos I went and got my coffee 🤣🥰😂. Wow! What a cool project! The sides are tricky but I don’t know how else you could do it...just takes patience and dexterity.🤣. So many uses and the protection it offers is great. The cover treatment is fabulous....on to video #2 and my 2nd cup of coffee 👍
That is so cool Kathryn! :)
I just came across your channel and suscribed. I love your file holder. I have a couple of these that I found at thrift stores. I had thought of making a couple to hold my themed magazines. Your home made ones are just as good as the store bought ones. With your ideas I can make more and decorate the ones that I already have that are starting to look a little grungy. I liked yours so much that I subscribed to your channel. TFS
Excellent Love Love Love it !!
Crafting my way through Covid is my new tag line.....lol
perhaps a strip of wood, perhaps a centimetre or 2 thick, the width of you inner book spine and long enough to stick out of end/side of book cover..then place along end of book, bring the material to the top with glue on top and close the book cover over..that way you have some firmness to press on AND support at the same time..
Hi from the UK.. love, love, love your chaos. Just wanted to pass on a couple of possibly helpful tips...WD-40 for removing sticky marks and if you do want rid of your glue bumps then I have a little mod podge smoother but a plastic store card type thing will do just as good with a little baking paper to protect xx
Great idea. Thank you
What a wonderful idea! Definitely going on my to-do list. This will help my craft organization which I’m working m now. Thanks very much for sharing.
I use a lot of sticky labels. I spray WD-40 on a rag or paper towel and wipe off my scissors and paper cutters. No residue left
This is a great idea!❤
Great use for all those book covers.
Thanks!!
I love this!!! I’m new here and I can watch glue dry all day 🤣. I also thought a great big one with added handles would make a beautiful artist portfolio.
Watching this very beautiful and very practical storage portfolio video was almost as much fun as traveling!! Thx Pam!😉😉😉 A+ for you today!! 💝
Glad it was helpful!
The Paper Outpost 😀
What a clever storage thingy - and looking GREAT aswell. Absolutely looooove this. If I ever get any time to craft again (have had the collie puppy in the house for 4 days...!) I'll try to make one. Good job, Pam! /Ditte
I love the ideas you come up with and I especially like that they are totally do-able!
Yes!!! My favorite words!! :) Fun can be simple! :)
This danged pandemic has really messed with my traveling. My husband and I (me more so than him) love to gamble and I have missed my trip to Vegas and to Blackhawk Co. I’ve probably spent more on craft supplies than we would have on both of our trips combined. I typically win enough to pay for our trips so I’m in the hole big time! Lol.
LOLOL...I can't wait for the olden days!!!! I hope they come back!
If you drive to the Casinos, pack a small portable umbrella table and camp chairs and have JJ pop up sales at stops along your way. Might recoupe the expenses you "may or may not" have recently incurred!! 😂😂😂
Awesome idea
You’re a genius!
i just have to thank you again for bringing us artists and crafters such fresh and great content i hurt my foot and couldnt walk all weekend so i watched and crafted with you.if i can figure out how to share my art ive done with you i will .you keep me inspired i ordered pva craft glue its coming today amazon prime rocks love you lots gina from washington state
Y’a done good. At least the back was not upside down lol. I have done that.
Love this...going to try making one and will let you know if I make any changes.
Love this idea Pam and I have to say the book gluing gusset was impressive you have all the patience in the world. I want to try this for sure but I have some thoughts about the gusset, I will keep you posted. Oh the love of chocolate, the struggle is real and good idea giving some away. Have to watch the next video, you like totally vanished. Thanks for the new project idea and I hope your having a awesome weekend.
LOL here is part two: czcams.com/video/ru3H-khJGYc/video.html
I’m wondering if it would be a little less messy if you do all the decorating of the cover first, than the inside paper and fabric for the inside of the spine, and do the “flaps” of fabric on the sides last. I would imagine doing the back of each side, and then the front of each side (for the sides made of fabric) would be easier than doing it all at once. That’s just a thought but I’m no expert. I’m very different and I prefer to have a plan, but I know people love the spontaneity of crafting. We all have different perspectives and ways of doing things. That’s what makes it so beautiful in my opinion. I love your videos so much and I more than appreciate you showing us everything rather than cutting and deleting your “mistakes”. 💕
Hi Pam! As soon as I saw the thumbnail that you have made a storage caddy, I stopped what I was doing to watch your video. What a great idea, I love the storage caddy. This is something that I can really use as I lack storage for my crafting supplies. Using that scrubber to get rid of that red on the cover is another good idea. And the pages that you're using, the butterflies, plants and birds, are so beautiful. Hope you're feeling better now. You are talented and creative and so much fun. I agree with traveling, I miss it. My son's family and I were going to go to Mall of America this summer. Also I have family in Kentucky that I wanted to visit. :( Hopefully next year we'll all be getting back to some kind of normal...
I can't hardly wait for normal!!! :)
Just what I have been waiting for!!! What a great and simple idea!!
Glad you like it!
Would it be better to glue the fabric on the spine before gluing down the papers on the inside? That way you would have the strength of the fabric, but slick sides so paper would slide all the way down...without catching of the fabric? Just another idea! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! ❤❤❤😊
Yes, I think your idea makes more sense :) TFS! :)
Cool idea and you explained how to do it well! Love this!
