Anatomy of a Vintage Book Junk Journal - Part 1 - Creating the Spine

[@znycelondon5313]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching you make this. It does not bother me that you create as you go along and share this. It’s real time and maybe helps some one else see that it’s ok to switch plans mid stream. I really appreciate that you take the time to take us on your creative journey. 🥰

[@danaruEverwander]

i love your videos going to bed and start again in the morning :) i could and will binge watch them;)

[@sallygreenhead9708]

Hi Gayle I’ve just found this series of yours. It’s great and I do chuckle along with you, feel like I’m in the same room as you. In my first journal I made I didn’t cover the inside spine so in between the signatures the cardboard can be seen. I love the fabric you’ve used for the spine. On to the next video. Thank you for sharing with us xxx much love xx

[@susankrause1672]

Gayle, you are so fun and inspirational. I truly enjoy your videos.

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Omg. Your box of lace is something I dream of having one day! Lace is something I LOVE so so much. That's for sharing this series. I really enjoy watching how everyone does it. I feel like we can all learn something from each other. I also appreciate you doing these videos because they aren't as easy as most people think. It's extra work to deal with crafting, staying in the view of the camera and carrying on a conversation with yourself. Thanks

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so much, Jamie! I so appreciate your understanding that it is easier to just craft and not film. But, I have to say, that it does give me joy to share with all of you. People have been so kind with their appreciation and comments...like you! Thanks so much for watching, my dear! ❤️

[@joanmacleod1362]

I found it Gayle. It was exactly what I wanted. Thanks

[@cece_h]

Gayle, you're so funny. I love to watch your videos. I don't know if I've ever commented. I enjoyed watching your process. I always feel like I struggle preparing my cover but once I'm finished you can't tell. I think I was making it way more complicated than it needs to be because your process is so simple. TFS

[@karentaylor3531]

Thank you, Gayle! It's so interesting and helpful (and fun!) to watch and to listen as you talk us through each step; it feels like we are sitting with you, and that's the way that I learn best! You are very generous! :)

Wonderful video Gayle! Thank you for sharing you process, I am learning so much from you. It was nice to here you enjoyed the day with your grand daughter. It’s nice that she is crafting with you and making beautiful memories, so fun. The Franklin paper is a great idea, I want to try that out on my next break, spend one day bonding with my paper scraps and sewing machine. I am looking forward to watching the rest to your videos. Keep on laughing and have fun, I’m certainly enjoying it!! Hugs and blessings your way. Shana

Thanks Anne! ❤️

[@cynthiahamm48]

Supper video! You're great fun to watch and listen to. So many videos, so little time. Anyway, I am a book collector. At one time I had about 5,000 books, but I lost them in a storage unit in GA. I still get upset when I think about that. But, my point is, I'm having a hard time with tearing books apart; however, I bought an address book with beautiful pictures in it and took those pages out and then glued pages together to make them thicker. I also have an old book I took apart, but haven't decided what I'm going to do next. Guess I'll watch more of your videos to find out!

[@gloriwest]

Thanks for sharing. So talented!

[@freespiritsglide]

love love love this series! Please do more!!

[@charlean_sherrod]

[@kimleon-guerrero9980]

Thanks Gayle for sharing your talents. 💞💫

[@ThePaperOutpost]

I love how you teach Gayle :)

[@Freespiritarts]

Gayle, do you ever feel like you need to clean the old book covers? I would be concerned about molds or cigarette , pipe odors and stuff like that. If so, what would you use?

[@thatdayintimebysue3551]

Great tutorial Gayle. I felt like I was right there working with you. I love the paper that you chose. The inside covers look beautiful with the outside of the book. Looking forward to the next one!

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Thank you so very much, Sue! ❤️

[@KimmyKim31]

Fantastic share!! Thank you ❤❤😍

[@NotTooShabbyChic]

Love your tutorials! Do u have one using a vintage book co we fro t and back and making a brand new spine?

[@lottiefaith6935]

Thanks for letting us see your process, even the messy parts. I was thinking the same thing you did about a larger table, it would just be a place to put more stuff. : )

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Love it, Lottie! I keep telling my husband I need a bigger craft room. He looks at me as if I've lost my mind! I know he's thinking...oh yea, so you can buy more stuff to fill it up! 😂😂😂. Of course, I'm thinking...then I'd have more room to work..and be able to buy more stuff to fill it up! 😂😂😂. Thanks for watching, my dear!! ❤️

[@wanderingcrafter]

Thank you for showing your process! Very helpful 😊

[@junkjournalmama8826]

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

very cool and I love listening to your voice

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Aaww, Dawn, you're so sweet! ❤️

[@janetmiller7577]

TFS Gayle, I'm so enjoying this whole process, I love watching you at work and learning from you 😊🌸💕

[@iteeshollow]

I like to make my spine a bit narrower, the same size as the pages that were in there, so there is still room for the little space on either side of the spine, allowing the book to open and close and not stress those outer edges on either side of the spine. Sometimes i curve them too. I dont attach the new spine to the spine cover but attach it to the inside of the covers, or to the two sheets on either side.

[@arkansasfamily6088]

This is a great tutorial!

[@craftydawk.janettedawkins7516]

Thanks for doing this

[@lindarwilliams9498]

Yay !!!!!!🎯🏅♥️♥️♥️

[@efi235]

[@derekkjohnson]

Do you have a link for the Kraftec? I cannot find it regardless of how I spell it.

[@JanTBaillieAndJansJunkJournals]

Hello Gayle Love your friendly informative videos! I have linked to two of them in my Ultimate Guide to Junk Journals. (Jan's Junk Journals). I couldn't find how to contact you outside of KZbin.

[@irmaalfaro4988]

How do we get one of your journals Miss.Gayle

[@joanmacleod1362]

Gayle, do you have a video showing how to make a book spine bigger

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Joan, Yes! There is a video on my channel about how to make a spine for a Little Golden Book. That one should help! ❤️

[@joanmacleod1362]

Gayle Agostinelli Thanks so much

[@robertakahn2792]

Where do you get your books? Thanks, Roberta

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Hi Roberta! I got this book at the antique store. I get most of my books there, estate sales or the thrift store. Hope that helps! ❤️

[@pprdoll68]

lol you're so funny...

[@rondaclarke6991]

What if Franken paper?

[@gayleagostinelli_ct]

Paper scraps sewn together to make a full sheet of paper. I have several videos on it. I think if you search Gayle Agostinelli Frankenpaper, the videos should come up. 😁❤️
