Altering Magazine And Book Pages For Your Journals

If you also hoard magazines and books and want to alter the pages in your own individual style then you're totally right here.
I watched a video from Kelly ‪@BookandPaperArts‬ where she showed a technique how to alter book and magazine pages to get beautiful pages for you journals. I was so excited about her results and had to give it a try.

This is a fabulous idea! They are called "sanding blocks" and the "grit" are the little stones you described. 😊

Thank you for this video! I think your pieces turned out as beautiful as the ones Kelly created, and using the Neocolor 2 crayons is an inspired idea! The sunflower turned out so well; it is presumptuous of me, but, if i created it, I would archive it to make photocopies to use in many projects. Perhaps a tribute to Van Gogh's sunflower paintings? And your English is fine, your meaning is clear, so please do not worry about that; being bilingual is a blessing. So please keep making videos!😊

[@susisjournaladventure]

Thank you for your kind words! What a great idea to make photocopies! Will definitely do this!😃 I'm happy that you like my video! Thank you for watching! Susanne 💕

[@rkug777]

Great technique! Love the results you got ❤I have lots of floral, bird and other decor magazines/books etc. Can’t wait to do this. The block is sandpaper block and the diff grades of sandpaper is called grit. So 400 grit is finer grain than 200 grit etc. Yes you’re removing the shine or glossiness 😊 Your English is excellent! Pls don’t ever hesitate or apologize 😊. Looking forward to watching/learning more from your channel. One small thought if I may… it’s best to use gloves if you do this technique often. The chemicals from the print are not good to be absorbed by the skin. Fine dust inhalation is not either 😊

[@susisjournaladventure]

@@rkug777 Thank you for your comment! Oh yes, the next time I will definitely wear gloves. I don‘t like how the dust feels on my hands, it‘s horrible. Thank you for watching and I‘m really thankful for your comment about my English! I‘m happy that you can understand what I‘m trying to tell and explain in my videos!🩷

Hi Susi! I find it easier to wet the sponge without spraying the paper. The sponge was also designed for cleaning stainless steel kitchen sinks and can remove rust stains and similar marks. Ordinary wet sandpaper is less abrasive, but it tears easily, which is why these blocks are so practical. The sponge is perfect for controlling how wet you want it to be. To use the sponge, put it under water and then squeeze out the water until it's almost dry or until it`s as wet as you want it to be.

Hi, you‘ve used a sanding block, the little stones are called grid. The technique Kelly shows is really amazing.

[@susisjournaladventure]

That‘s the word I was looking for! 😅🤭Thank you! Yes, Kelly has awesome videos in her channel!

[@thejunkjourney2650]

They are called grit in the United States. Different grits sand more or less. You can also use sandpaper or a nail file.

[@susisjournaladventure]

@@thejunkjourney2650A nail file also works great! Thank you! ✨

[@dawnboquist5473]

Grit. It’s called a sanding block and has varying levels of grit depending upon how much/fine you wish yo remove or sand off.

Hi, you probably already knew but we call it the "grit" so 20 grit, 30 grit etc.

[@susisjournaladventure]

Thank you!🙏 ✨

[@sherrybarfield8446]

I do believe it is called grit.....not grid. Perhaps I am wrong?

[@susisjournaladventure]

@@sherrybarfield8446 Do you mean the coating of the sanding block?

[@rkug777]

@@susisjournaladventuregrit number of a sand paper (or sand block like yours) is the way to know if the sandpaper is coarse or fine. 400 grit is finer than 200 grit (coarser)

[@rkug777]

Yes, it’s grit. Not grid

Die Idee finde ich Klasse. Schade, dass du das Video nicht auf Deutsch machst. Ich habe Probleme, zu schauen und die Untertitel zu lesen. Es gibt viel zu wenige Tutorials in Deutsch

[@susisjournaladventure]

Es freut mich, dass Dir mein Video gefällt!✨Ich habe vor meinem ersten Video lange überlegt, ob ich die Videos auf englisch oder deutsch mache und sehe Vor- und Nachteile für beides. Ich kann Dich total gut verstehen, aber ich denke auch, dass man vielleicht auch gut versteht, was ich da mache, auch wenn man gar keinen Text hat. Liebe Grüße!
