    I just re-watched this video as I’m making some small journals for a little weekend with a bunch of friends. Thanks so much I’ll keep it as a special watch.

    Natasha - I just wanted to express my gratitude to you. I’ve been following you for some time, I own your book, and I have had gigantic sparks of creative inspiration and some of my best work all credited to your impeccable knowledge. This is an oldie but goodie, and this is the third time I’ve come to visit this video 😂
    Your love and passion for this craft is so evident and that passion can’t help but to rub off on me and so many others by way of inspiration!
    I just want you to know that I am so grateful that you are walking in your purpose on the planet and I just so happen to get to be here at the exact same time. Thank you for your impact on this community. It truly would not be the same without your voice!
    We all adore you! Thank You❤

    A suggestion for the Heat and Bond backed cloth. Cut the corners of the cloth off at a 90-degree angle to help reduce the bulk of the cloth. I suggest making the cut a 1/8 of an inch or 3ish millimeters from the corner of the cover you are putting it on. I do this and it makes the corners on books really nice.

    There are thinner versions of Heat and Bond…maybe those would not be so thick. Great video!

    • @stellabella6839
      @stellabella6839 Před rokem +10

      Yes, there is, it’s called heat n bond lite…. Great product.

    • @rebeccahesser8057
      @rebeccahesser8057 Před rokem +7

      Heat and bond lite works fantastic for book cloth

    • @viviandibrell849
      @viviandibrell849 Před 5 měsíci +1

      Also, you don’t need glue with heat n bond…..you need an iron!

    • @one_smol_duck
      @one_smol_duck Před 2 měsíci

      I use heat n bond lite with (acid free) tissue paper regularly. I love it and it is a lot thinner than the regular heat n bond, BUT it's still stiffer than lite interfacing would be. Personally, I like my bookcloth to have a bit of heft to it, but if you're looking for something lightweight I'd still go for interfacing.

    using the cling wrap is genius! i didn't think of that. but the fabric cloth, I'm going to look for that in here in our fabric store. thank you for this video!

    Saturday, February 17, 2024 I am viewing yet another wonderful tutorial from my favorite Natasha! Thank you so much girl. I have just acquired some beautiful, unique material that I ordered for journaling. I plan on covering several covers with this luscious fabric since I watched your tutorial. I know now how to prepare the material for my project. Thank you thank you you are so gifted and talented ❤

  • @cathlynballard8409
    @cathlynballard8409 Před rokem +11

    Love this tutorial. ❤️ I squeegee my glues on with those free “credit cards” that come in the mail ads and other cards like them, both plastic and hefty paper-ish ones - AARP and insurance companies are the most common ones we get. I also use old expired gift cards and old playing cards (which I also often use to embellish my journals - being near two casinos in our town, our Goodwill shop always has a huge supply of discarded decks the casinos donate). Saves me on brushes, cleaning brushes, and seems to not take as long as brushing.

    • @heikesiegl2640
      @heikesiegl2640 Před 22 dny

      Also sounds wasteful :/ If you don't want to clean brushes i guess you are not cleaning the cards?

    Again Natasa, you are so good at tutorials!! I really believe in myself after watching, then I try and find it’s hard!!! lol but I’m practicing!!! I learn so much from you and I’m inspired by you!! Thanks for everything!!! ❤

  • @jlojai
    @jlojai Před rokem +8

    What perfect timing! I’m making a journal for a baby gift and wasn’t sure how I’d adhere the fabric to the cover. This answers EVERYTHING. Thank you!!

  • @peaceofjunkjournals
    @peaceofjunkjournals Před rokem +18

    Wow this is such a great idea! This would be a good mass make project! I typically always make the same size journals so I could go ahead and make the bookcloth for multiple at once. Thank you for always inspiring me so much 🥰

    Hi Natasa 😄 Thank you for sharing all of your examples, and also talking us through all of them. When you said "allow me to demonstrate" I thought Yes, Please. I just recently bought some fusible interfacing, and already have some heat n' bond. This video is exactly the inspiration I needed to get busy making book cloth. I learned a lot today, and very much appreciated you showing us how to cover the entire book. Your finished product is always so beautiful. Have a terrific day!!

  • @iamdawt
    @iamdawt Před rokem +24

    I love the variety of ways to make book cloth you've shown us, thank you! I didn't realize butcher paper could be permanently ironed to anything, that's awesome to know. My favorite way to make book cloth is with the Heat N Bond. It comes in different thicknesses, and I like the heavy duty. You'll want to use thin paper with it like the Japanese calligraphy paper found at Daiso or even tissue paper. I like how sturdy it makes the fabric and how well it keeps the creases I make with a bone folder.

    • @anahurm4456
      @anahurm4456 Před rokem

      I have some Japanese calligraphy paper I just started playing with. I did some gelli printing on them. I never thought about using it as a backing for fabric. Going to have to try that. Thanks for the idea!

    Great video and thanks for the step-by-step. One thing I love about it - We all probably have at least one of those adhesives and it’s a great lesson in “Start where you are and use what you have”, which is the theme Im working with this year. Love this channel!

    I've also tried the fusible interfacing, even adding two layers instead of just one if the fabric was thinner, and it worked really well.

  • @luannfischer747

  • @barbaragrace1992
    @barbaragrace1992 Před rokem +5

    Using fabric glue is better than PVA as it's non acidic. The acidic glues can make the final product degrade a lot faster. I like the interfusible webbing. It looks and feels much easier. Thank you very much for this tutorial. 😍

    • @marlenejones6266
      @marlenejones6266 Před rokem

      It's a much softer fabric to attach for sure. I have use 2 methods. I probably will stick to these two methods.

  • @rosannagajdanelson999

    Thanks for giving us such a comprehensive test of all the ways to make book cloth. I did the heat and bond a little differently. When I used the heat and bond I did not add a sheet of tissue to the back. After I ironed it on the wrong side of the cloth, I ironed it directly onto the prepared chip board one side at a time taking care to put the crease in. It worked quite well.

    Thanks so much for this tutorial! I'm about to start working on a book. Knowing how to make Bookbinding cloth (which I'd never heard of) I feel will allow me to have greater success with my book. I have fabric sheets from Dollar Tree which is very thin, thin copy paper and a full bottle of Fabri-Tac. I feel this will be perfect for my first try at your tutorial. TFS

  • @victoriabergesen6775
    @victoriabergesen6775 Před rokem

    Thank you for taking the time to try each of these methods. I have been directly gluing fabric onto cardboard or chipboard with Fabric glue. I have gotten quite good at it, but it only works with "home decor" or upholstery fabrics. These are too thick for the glue to seep through, but usually the pattern is sized for home decor, not a book. I have plenty of interface and this will allow me to use lighter weight cotton fabrics with patterns on a smaller scale. As always your video is precise and clear.

I have some of the fabric bond stuff, though not sure what weight it is. Have to check. I never thought of using it to make book cloth with!

HA !!!!!! not any more THIS METHOD IS AMAZING THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU Not only does it mean the glue doesnt show at all, it makes the fabric so much easier to handle and it doesnt make it so thick its awkward to manipulate LOVE LOVE LOVE IT THANKS AGAIN NATASIA YOURE MY HERO
