Thank you for showing us in real time how to cover a book. It was so helpful!
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching and letting me know 😍
Thank you. Very clear and understandable. It is a beautiful cover.
Thank you Candace 🥰
Thank you for sharing with us your method! Always learning something new💖
And thank you for watching and letting me know 😘
So nice to watch a tutorial like this, thank you.
I did remember how to cover a book with plastic or book paper from when I was a student long, long time ago but I never covered one in fabric.
I think this is very helpful for many crafty people 🥰
Have a nice crafty week

It is exactly the same, well, almost. I learned it from covering my school books too 😄 also a loving time ago. Thank you Maria for your kind words. Fijn weekend, liefs Maureen 😘👍
Thank you Maureen for this video. My first attempt before I looked at CZcams turned out ok apart from my back corners. I'll pop some metal corners on the cover to 'cover' my error up LOL! Next time I must try the method you show here.Fiddly but definitely does produce a nice result.
😘👍 I have used the metal corners too, a lot. Hope you'll give this method a try 😘 thanks for stopping by
So glad Barbara mentioned this video! I loved watching your tutorial. Great trick to cover the spine while also hiding the edges!! Thanks Maureen! ♡♡♡ -x.o
Glad you came over. Thank you formyour kind words 😘
Thank you so much! Awesome video...explained well!!!
Thank you Georgia! 😍
Maureen, When I first started making journals I tried to make a fabric covered journal and it went terribly... and I haven't tried it since. Your video inspired me to try it again!!! I think If I do it step by step with you that I'll be successful this time. I'll keep you posted. Thank you for posting this tutoriall, it is very informative and good to see each step.
Hi Michelle, I'm so glad that this video is inspiring you to give it another try. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that it works out beautifully.
Thank you! I learned something new.
Yay! That's always a good thing. Thanks for watching Jan 😘
Love this 😊 definitely need this video 😃 thank you so much for sharing 😘😘😘😘
Thank you very much Dana! 😘😘😘
Thank you for the great video
Hoi Maureen, dankjewel voor de goede uitleg! Je hebt een super fijne stem om naar te luisteren, dus jouw video’s staan vaak op als ik zelf aan het knutselen ben!
Hoi Saskia, dank je wel! En wat leuk om te horen dat je vaak naar me luistert bij het knutselen. Vind ik altijd een gezellig idee. Liefs en dank voor het kijken weer 😘
I was waiting for this video, sweetie! Fabulous instructions! So easy to follow (theoretically haha). I will definitely be trying this! :) Thanks so much for sharing this! Can't wait for the next one where you cover the ends up! Hugs, Barbara
Hi sweetie, thank you! Yes theoretically it will be easy 🥰😆 i look forward to seeing your book
Thank you that helps a lot. 😊
👍🥰 glad to hear that.
A popsicle stick would work to push down the fabric at the top and bottom of the spine🙂
Yes, indeed. Thank you.
Hello sweetie, This was a very enjoyable half hour! I crafted along with you and felt like you were here and we crafted together.Sending a big virtuel hug, :)))))
🥰 and a big hug for you. So happy to hear that we did this together 😄
Well done. Sometimes using Fabric Tac glue with fabric is easier.
Yes, it sometimes is indeed. Thank you Jan 💕
Do you have a video of how you embellished the pages of this book? Did you remove any of the pages?? I love the way you covered it with fabric ❤️
No I don't have a video on that, sorry. Yes, I removed all of the pages - the whole textblock - and replaced it with my own pages that I embellished. I have a reel on IG if you'd like to see the making of that instagram.com/p/CiPZxI8oir8/ and a flip through.
@@MaureenAstrid thank you kindly 💕
Joie has a video where she decorates the pages while removing some. Check her page out.
