Barbara it is nice when you do something complicated . Then give us an easier way of doing it. Love the way the cover turned out. Very pretty.
I Love how you basically transformed this journal cover! Love how the fabric peeks out around the edges!
Love what you did there. The cover is gorgeous. These are the kind of tutorials I like the best. Very practical and useful. Thank you Barbara. 💕
Barbara: I especially like the fabric peeking thru the two covers in between the original spline. That is most intriguing. Great job! Carol from California
Love how you keep at a project till it makes you happy ❤
I love how this turned out. I love the fabric “gusset” for hard covers. Makes them so nice. ❤
Barbara, what a world of difference that material made. Love it! TFS, ❤
I just love the new spine and inside of this journal. You find the most interesting fabric.
Looks beautiful! Love how the fabric peeks out from the covers!
Beautiful journal cover 📓✂️
it was pretty before but now it's gorgeous! THANK YOU for sharing Barbara
I've never actually completed a journal. When the covers I made turned out so stiff that they wouldn't lay flat, I got frustrated and stored them away. With the time it took to make them (not to mention the cost of the gorgeous papers!) I just couldn't get rid of them. Thanks so much for this video, Barbara. You saved my journals.
That makes me so happy! Have fun transforming yours! ❤️
I wonder if a Momigami type technique could also soften the cover joints? I know you can’t scrunch it when it’s like that, but could still add little bits of oil (as per a video by Robyn McClendon where she rubs baby oil or olive oil on her hands & kneads the paper) & just flex & relax them to make them softer 🤔 Just in case there are any you want to keep as is. You could try rubbing your hands or fingers with a little bit of oil (enough to just make them a bit greasy, not dripping) & use it to rub into the paper at the joints, then flex & extend the joint over & over, adding a little more oil as it gets absorbed. You don’t want it to be oily enough that it will be absorbed by your signatures, but just enough to feel like a very well handled paper. Gives it an almost soft leather texture. I really feel for you that an unexpected effect has brought your projects to a standstill 🤗 This is Robyn’s video where I watched the technique. Great way to make some gorgeous fabric style paper anyway. I printed some scanned text from a scrap of papyrus from very early in the first millennia on some thick paper, then used oil & folding/unfolding to make a gorgeous piece of paper that feels really old. Very relaxing too 😊 czcams.com/video/dnLdsLWDAaM/video.htmlsi=bEtV4KQbcIhlFgdt
I have some journal covers that are too stiff and don't lie flat, and this is a perfect solution. Thank you, Barbara, for sharing this. 🙂❤️
Great solution! Genius idea to put an eyelet on the pocket to attach your closure.
😊 a good way to save your journal and make it extra beautiful. Now it's time for the inside ...😘🪡
Beautiful reconstruction of the cover. Thank you Hugs from MN.
Dass ich ein Fan dieser Verbindung von Buchrücken und Stoff bin, brauch ich bestimmt nicht zu sagen! Super schönes Makeover. Der Stoff gefällt mir sehr gut. Bin auf die Fortsetzung gespannt.
Liebe Grüße Nicole
Love it Barbara you make it so easy to restructure the journal. It turned out beautiful
Beautiful cover!
Love the journal cover. Video very helpful.
That fabric piece is beautiful!! Great choice.
Creative save!....Love it when you share your inspirations...............................😻
A beautiful makeover!! 💚🐦⬛💜
I am so happy you saved that beautiful lace from the original spine. Great makeover!
I need to try this technique! Thank you so much dear Barbara! Love ❤️ ❤ how it turned out ❤️🤗😘🤩😍🥰
I really am happy you leave your Opps in and do not edit out. Your complicated ways are generally how I do things also!
I love the fabric you used ❤ thank you for sharing
You are so inspiring! What a fabulous transformation ! Hugs 🤗❤️
Beautiful! 💜
I love this cover. 💕
A perfect solution😊❤
Thank you I have a journal with the same problem, and now I have a fix!
Lol... complicated versus easy way... i also tend to end up taking the complicated route. 😂
Edited to add: i didn't think it possible to improve upon what i saw as perfection... but you did it. STUNNING. ❤
Aaaaw Thank you! ❤️
Barbara! I just finished a project exactly like this! I had an old book cover where the spine had completely detached from the covers. I put it back together with fabric the same way. But the only difference is I sewed in the signatures signatures on the fabric before gluing it in for a hidden spine ❤
A great solution! Thank you!❤
I never get tired of seeing this process. I'm still new to making journals and I've learned so much from you. Thank you!
Beautiful cover makeover.
Love it!!
I love this!😊
Wondering why you glued the initial fabric-side-down on the inside covers? The pattern you glued face down was really cool! And, you could have saved the second chunk of fabric for another project? Either way, I really like the journal cover :)
I wanted the fabric to peek out on the front. The backside is white, so that wouldn’t have looked nice around the edges.
Oh, such lovely music 🎶to go with lovely art! If it's the right bit then it has to be, even from the middle🙊. Lol Amazon packaging is fantastic! Yeah, hindsight🙈. Wait, there's an EASY WAY? 😱😄😄. I usually use fusible interface to adhere fabric to anything now, even though it means ironing 🙈. It's lovely and you'd never know it wasn't meant to be like that from the start 😍. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖
Barbara, lovely just lovely. If you don't succeed, try, try again! 🙂
Ohoh…ich dachte, was tut sie da? 😲 Das Cover war so schön….aber ich muss sagen, jetzt ist es einfach grandios, wunderschön 🥰 Tolle Idee, ich glaube, ich muss viel mehr Stoff einsetzen, es sieht bei dir immer einfach toll aus, wenn du Stoff benutzt 🥰
Vielen Dank! ❤️☺️
lovely!
❤
You are so creative!💕
Love it
Hi Barbara ❤
Hi!
@@49dragonflies thank you for sharing all of your talents. You are very inspiring. Your videos have helped me through some tough times 💚
What a beautiful journal. I’m really liking the image on the front. Is that cotton? Nice job Barbara as always.
Thanks! Yes, that’s cotton. The kit is linked below the video ❤️
I love your journal transformation! The journal now looks softer and more manageable. Regarding the binding, will you make a hidden spine with this one? Is it possible to make the usual binding with this kind of spine? Please show us the next video when you bind this one! Sweet greetings from Athens, Elena
Thanks Elena! I will probably make a hidden spine for this, but I guess you could also sew right through the spine. ❤️
That seemed like a lot of fabric and gluing ... the frontside is not frayed like the back side or the top and bottom. I was actually surprised you took scissors to it. The signatures are getting glued to a separate spine and glued in? I think they might look nice alongside the decorative spine! Loved the first fabric turned around! Are you continuing in this journal on video?😊
I did Frau the fabric after I cut it, maybe you kissed it in the video. Yes, the signatures will be glued onto a hidden spine. Not sure yet when I will be continuing with this.
Oops. I was just watching you put glue on the second cover over the front & thought “eek don’t glue over the cover in case you splash glue”… and then you splashed. Obviously didn’t end up being an issue though 😊 Great idea for a practical makeover
Normal for me! 😂😂😂❤️
