Always impressed with your contributions to our Junk Journal community!
One clever woman..love your details…such an important part of tutorials ♥️
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!
Yes, there is, it’s called heat n bond lite…. Great product.
Heat and bond lite works fantastic for book cloth
Also, you don’t need glue with heat n bond…..you need an iron!
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 ❤
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.
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!!! ❤
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!!
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 🥰
Great information and wonderful video! I've been struggling with using fabric on my journals. How to make and use bookbinding cloth is definitely going to be a game changer for me. Thank you again for sharing your time and talents with us! ♥️
Wonderfully informative and useful video! Thank you for this!
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!!
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.
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!
What a excellent tutorial. Thank you for all of the options and wonderful inspiration!
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.
Your idea of the napkin on the paper for using inside the journal is very appreciated.
I have so much fabric. I think this is great! Over many years of quilting I have saved so much. Any more ideas with fabric would be greatly appreciated. God bless 🥰
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. 😍
It's a much softer fabric to attach for sure. I have use 2 methods. I probably will stick to these two methods.
I’m always happy when she does a video on anything 😊
So glad you covered this! I have heard different things and haven’t actually done it yet. But it’s a great reference video that I will look back on when I get ready to make the book paper. Thanks so much!!!! 🤗❤️❤️🐴
Thanks, Natasha! That was such useful information.
The journal covers all look really lovely!
This has given me so many ideas for some of the beautiful fabric I have inherited. Thank you so much! 💗
Thankyou so much! This opened up alot more options for our journal making projects!🥰
Great demonstration of these different products and how each one worked for you. I think I'll try the interfacing one first. Thanks so much for sharing!
What a variety of ways to make book cloth! Wonderful tutorial as always❤
This was such an informative video Natasha as always. Thanks so much for all the tips and tricks and showing us in detail as well as showing us how to bind the books. Can't wait to try it myself. x
Thank you for doing the experimentation for us. Good on you! 💝
I love fabric covers but your right about the glue, so this is perfect. Project for today as I can’t wait to try it. Thank you ❤
I loved watching your video. It made it seem simple. I’ve watched other ones that were so complicated I gave up the idea of trying it myself. Thank you so much!😊
This video is so timely as I was seeking this exact information. Thank you!
This was very helpful. I have mainly used interfacing but I like the gladwrap and double sided tape ideas too.
You are adorable - how you explain everything so detailed - thank you - it is nice to listen to you.
This is exciting. I cannot wait to try this. Thank you for this tutorial! Blessings
I love the way you show that there are options. I had heard of 3 methods. Definitely looking forward to try some new methods you showed it this wonderful video. Thank you 😊
Just the info I needed right now...using a book cover for a journal.
Thanks for your excellent tutorial! Have a blessed weekend 🤗🕊️
Always informative Love all the choices nicely done thanks Natasha❤
Loved this tutorial. You explain everything so well. I am going to try some of these. Thank you for sharing❤
Very helpful thank you and I do love the tiny book cloth, so pretty. ❤
I have had good luck with photo mount spray adhesive as well. Thanks for this video.
Fabulous tutorial Natasha…..never thought about it before but now I’m fired up! 😊
I will be trying this idea for sure,
You are such an inspiration, TYVM
Hugs. Maggie
❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️
Thank you so much for this demonstration! I've had successes and failures as well over the years. Freezer paper has been the most successful for me, but I'm now encouraged to try these other methods.
Thank you so much! I'm just starting at this and book tape is so expensive, this and all your other videos are SO helpful & inspiring ❤
OH my how awesome.. I have used several of these products, just not for book cloth. I love this idea. Thank you ever so much. You are the best!
Such a brilliant idea Natasha, will try this method for sure.
Thank you for putting all the work in for the benefit of us all. This is been a great experiment. Thank you for sharing
Yet another fabulous video. You continue to be my favorite artist. Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas! 💕
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.
Thank you so much, you inspire us every every time. Love this🌸
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
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.
Thank you for sharing your "Science Project" 😉 with us, Natasa! It was so very helpful in weeding out what would be the best product to utilize for our project.
Genius! Thank you so much for this video. Will be trying some of these methods. Happy Mother’s Day 😊
So helpful! I’ve used heat n bond but had no idea of the other methods. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much. That has really helped me to see how to improve my fabric covered journals.❤️
Very informative!! Definitely adding this to my *save* list. Thank you for sharing!!❤
Very interesting. Thank you. I usually use cotton sheet stuck to paper with PVA. I use this to make hidden spines in old books for my journals.
Happy mother's day, Natasa..thanks for being the best of the best and sharing week after week. Love your ideas and tips ans beautiful creations
I just love all of your honest comments and observations.
Thank you 😊
Wow! Lots of very useful info! I’ve also used wallpaper paste. It’s easy to find and pretty inexpensive.
Great video, Natasha. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Have a great weekend. Sending love and big hugs Sherry ❤
Thank you for this video. I learned so much from your experiments! I think I will combine a couple of your techniques and adhere thinner fabric to paper with double-sided tape and glue that to the book covers. It seems quickest and easiest. Thanks again!
Thank you! This is just what I needed this morning. ❤
Love your videos. Never fails I learn something new every time 😊❤
Thank you for this information! Will give them a try for sure!
Thank you for your videos! I love the way these look and feel. I am new to bookmaking and Treasure Books.
Welcome!
Again and as usual lovely video. Love the new tips I've been using actual binding cloth, but tis quite expensive!! Does work well but needs yo be glued twice !! Sooo now with your expertise I can use these products !! ❤❤🎉
Hello Natasa, thank you so very much for these bookbinding cloth tips.🌸
You always explain everything sooo very beautifully Natasa and everything you touch turns to Gold my dear . Absolutely gorgeous fabric patterns . Hugs and blessings!!!😍🤗
Thank you for this video on book cloths, and for all the experimenting you do, so that we don't have to. You save us so much time and expense, that I am very grateful for! 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! I also have some butcher paper, and cling wrap, and fabric! Really, I had no idea these bonding papers and glues could be used for this! You are one amazing woman! Thank you for sharing everything with us!
Thank you so much 😊
This was very interesting. Thank you for showing us these 7 methods. Thank you
OMG!!…. If I haven’t said it before … which I probably have… You are a genius !!! .. I love your creativity .. and you have fabulous ideas.. I love it!!… can’t wait to try.. thank you.. Love your channel..🎉
Excellent video as usual, you are a hard worker that deserves much more subscribers, your attention to detail is greatly appreciated, Natasha you are a star 🌟
❤Another brilliant video. Thank you....
Love this, thank you I'm going to try a few.
I have used the "heat and bond" with tissue paper backing. It worked very well.
Thanks for showing all the options!
Good to know!...Great ideas!.....Your a clever and creative woman..............😻
This was so informative, thank you❤️
Thank you for sharing your experiments with us, so we hooefully dont make the mistakes 😅 Love and hugs from Denmark ❤
I applique with school glue. You can use your iron to dry the school glue faster and smooth it down.
Gonna try this. Thank you! Needed a solution to glue seepage and/ or wrinkles. ❤
I use a product called “steam a seam” for fabric appliqué which takes care of the raw edges. It’s a little tough to hand sew through but looks fabulous! You could do this for a book cover same method.
I love the extra detail you put into the finishing of the journals. It is very special and your trademark 🪡💓
As always you are such an inspiration! ❤😊
I learn so much from you. Thx again for yet another fantastic tutorial. Greetz from the other side of the world, Holland.
I tried the plastic wrap method and it worked perfectly! Thanks for the very helpful tutorial!
Glad it helped!
Great video as always, Natasa. Would love to see you go over how to sew various things like paper, fabric, plastic, and other materials. Your sewing is impeccable...mine is amateurish since I cannot figure out how to adjust my tension properly.
OMG I tried this yesterday to make a journal cover for a gift for a friend, I used iron on stabiliser because I had a heap left from quiting - well I have to say Ive done sooooo many covers using techniques I learnt from you but Yes I had issues at times with glue showing through and Ive had to cover these spots up with some decorations or other. 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
💗love the 💡idea thank you 😊 for sharing it.
Thank you so much for each video! xxoo
Gosh! So informative! Thank you so much!❤
I just adore your presentations. You should teach how to prep and present information. Great job! Thank you very very much.
Thank you for sharing. This was very helpful.
Awesome, thank you for sharing.
I usec sheer fabric interfacing on mine. But i have used the freezer paper method too. The freezer paper method is stiffer for sure. Thanks again Natasa for this informative video
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Thank-you, Natasha. You're videos are so informative and inspiring. :)
Thank you ❤️
Really helpful tutorial! Thank you for this awesome information ❤
