Bejeweled Treasure Binding: DIY Luxurious Books from Everyday Items!

[@lgor4339]

I don’t think you talk too much. I appreciate your attention to details. Love your videos.

[@Narbyful]

People that say you talk too much aren't LISTENING. Yep, what you say is giving a ton of great info. It's so frustrating. I had a doctor once sit there, and after I discussed issues that were a problem for me, roll his eyes and say "My GOD. You are such a chatterbox. I couldn't get a word in edgewise." What he missed in his obvious moments of not listening to me (and focusing on the when he could talk again...) was that everything I was saying was giving him info about my conditions and situations. I wasn't just blathering. I never went back to him. That was a pretty solid measure of his care, and lack of it.

[@deborahcoram6793]

Whoever said you talk too much needs to mute their sound! Part of the joy in watching your videos is hearing your detailed instruction and hearing your funny comments. It’s joyful! 😃 The journals are stunning. I don’t think I could sell them. I asked some of my church friends for old jewelry and a couple of ladies complied. So, I’m ready…just need the glue for the jewelry. Thanks so much for sharing your considerable talent. ❤

[@debbiebreen6276]

Op shops are another place for old jewellery and if you live in Sydney the Reverse Garbage warehouse is a must see.

[@reneebarger5194]

Good morning lovie. You just chat away my friend. We are blessed to be included in your creative world.

[@cynhollingsworth2995]

I absolutely agree, I love that she cares enough to not only to guide and inspire us, but to entertain us as well. Love love her. 💜🇺🇸💜

[@DonnaHarmon-x4j]

I don’t think you talk too much. You are one of my favorite people to watch.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you!

[@Bluejay1122]

Keep talking. People who aren't true creators do not customize in detail. My Mother was a French Couture seamstress. She taught the same way you do. I love anything with books. You bring me great joy watching and listening to you create your beautiful creations. It doesn't matter if you are working in paper or fabric. I feel like I am having a creative conversation with my loving creative Momma again. She passed away in 2005. She would have loved KZbin and all these creators. Thank you ❤

[@TammyO.Garner]

You're a blast to listen to. Got my first good laugh this morning when you thought your nose was reflecting in the medallion on the journal. These are fabulous journals!

[@RusticJournals]

Hahaha yes I agree, I was laughing so much when she said that. I love listening to Natasa and seeing her creations.

[@TammyO.Garner]

@@RusticJournals Agree! Entertaining while creating beautiful things!

[@iamdawt]

I laughed so much! I showed it to my daughter and could hardly breathe, I was laughing so hard. I love how spontaneous she is and doesn't cut out things like that. These books are gorgeous, too!

[@maryalexis7328]

Don’t change a thing about yourself. I enjoy the way you communicate. And I love seeing your relationship with Banjo. So personable. Your tutorials are easy to follow.

[@emmalucy4356]

There's nothing better than hearing dog zoomies while you're crafting. I giggled when I heard Banjo having fun. My springers alway think they need to run around at top speed when I'm busy. They're old ladies, almost 14, but they still get the zoomies! And please, please , please don't ever stop talking! I love your crafty advice, your sense of humor and your commentary.

[@lindachitarra6530]

Natasha I absolutely love these books and can't wait to try this project. As for talking too much? I love your commentaries. You are one of the best teachers I have found and I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much for your time and inspiration.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that

[@debbiebreen6276]

P.S Natasa you talk as much as you want girl, your'e a great teacher for us and just ignore all the negative remarks, we all think you are the best. God Bless xxxx

[@glittergrandma]

Love your books. Love the sources of inspiration and possible alternative items to use. Love how you show the process and problem solving solutions. The beading is amazing. Thank you for showing us the sewing of the spine, which for me is often a stressful part of making a book. The book you bought is lovely. Delicious! You are the queen of inspiration and repurposed items. Yum! Pure joy, Natasha!❤❤❤🎉😊❤❤❤❤

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! I'm really happy you enjoyed it! 🙏

[@JesusIsKingForever77]

You don’t talk too much, what’s crazier is that I talk back to you. 😂🤣😂 I like hearing your thought process. I talk out loud, & no one is even there, while I’m crafting. 🤷‍♀️🤣😂

[@SusanDunkelberger]

Twice my phone erased what I was writing when an ad interrupts!! You are great at teaching! Love listening to your talking! 😊❤️

[@kelly-sg4pw]

YOUR personality carries the video❤ You are one of a kind! A rare gem for sure! Don't ever change your format, your personality makes the video extra ➡️blingy❤. And your skills are over the top❤. Dont think about people who are not content, you are at the top ALREADY❤❤ Love!! "This is for nails btw"❤ And as a teacher you have to teach on all levels, beginner to advanced. Your repeating and adding extra info helps me alot! I just made a card with jewelry. Today, I'm on a notebook. Your video is perfect timing ❤❤❤❤ Merry Christmas. ❤🎉

[@debbiebreen6276]

Oh My goodness, these are truly divine works of art, your bling is to die for. Natasa your utubes are so incredibly satisfying and I watch in awe of all these beautiful papers and jewels you have in your stash, I'm jealous. Especially when you give us alternatives to use it's such a great tip for novices like me. Wonderful. xxxxx

[@cyndieevans5628]

I have so much bling.... I am absolutely making some of these!! Gorgeous!

[@PatriciaPageMosaicArtsCrafts]

Me too 😊❤👍🏾

[@HandmadeByDesign]

Me too I just got some beautiful things from Soto that will work wonders with this project. Can wait to make one.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're inspired!

[@paperlove5399]

Beautiful! If I get the time, I would love to try it. And no, you don't talk too much! We need to hear it all! It is the attention to detail that creates the perfection that you and your projects are! Love the videos. Thanks so much!

[@karminakarminae1939]

Is not your chattering that bothers them but your success .I have a slightly idea whom are those but don't let them upset you .This is what they want , you to react at their nastiness . Do not give them that satisfaction . You are one of a kind , your craft is pure art , the art of taking odd items ,put them together and create beautiful things . If I am allowed to make a comparison , you are the Henry Matisse of junk journals . And I meant that . Keep inspiring us , teach us and delight us with your sense of humour .The covers are spectacular , I love the abundance of details , the opulence of the colours and shapes , they remind me both baroque and art nouveau style . Thank you for another great session of marvels .You are a talented artist , a beautiful woman and a splendid human being and we love you and support you and appreciate you . Thank you !

[@lindakilmer2548]

Those are freaking brilliant, Natasha!! They look like something out of Lord of the Rings, or Game of Thrones!! I imagine ancient knowledge inside!!! You’re truly gifted!!

[@joniheath6722]

I love the word "glorius" and this project is definitely GLORIOUS!!!!! TY

[@carmelgerdsen2399]

Dazzling! ❤ and brilliant as usual. It wouldn't be you without the chatting. We love ALL of who you are, that's why we are here. 😘

[@lorettavalmorbida7793]

Natasa you don't talk to much, you are perfect and your project is beautiful.

[@KathySparkle1]

In business and with crafty hobbies, I need to know the WHY. You provide it in every video, including potential mistakes and how you corrected/improved it. Many thanks for an OUTSTANDING project! 🌹

[@heathermacdonald5642]

Stunning! i see elements of the Renaissance, 12th century hymnals and William Morris! Thank you for another super demo! And by the way, talk all you want to, lol!

[@CindyReseck]

My heart does a happy dance when I see a new video from you! A carpet catalog!! What a great idea! Such a pretty book idea!! Love to you and your family...chat on, Natasa...I'm listening!

[@tamcart6033]

You don’t talk to much! I enjoy your videos, your instructions and your sense of humor. Please ignore the trolls and be your authentic self. Keep the wonderful talking borders coming!!!!😄😄

[@peggymurray7881]

I'm in sync with your family's awe. These are BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you so much for your inspiration. Peggy in Arizona, US.

[@jacquelyndevitte4992]

Oh no please do not stop talking. This is a big part of why I watch. 😂 you are a great friend to all and so funny. Your personality is perfect for what you do and I am so appreciative that you take the time to give us the extra detail. Blessings from a sister in Oregon USA ❤❤❤

[@TreasureBooks]

I appreciate you! 🙏

[@debbeneman9792]

I love your inspiration, you do not talk too much. I love your sense of humor & all the directions you give. Because sometimes I just need a little bit more details. I love all your videos & so thankful for your sharing. Keep up the beautiful work you do.

[@christine0nowell757]

Its your attention to detail that id certainly look for when buying a journal. You are a true professional when making yours. Always a treat for us all to see your tutorials Natasa, i love listening to you, talk away ❤️ xx

[@anitaluellen]

Brilliant!!! In every creative way possible! Your creative spirit is amazing. New ways to see and do with old things. Exploring, following your own paths. So grateful for the energy and ideas you share!

[@hollyharris-b1m]

Stunningly beautiful!! I think you are witty and fun to listen to. Your verbal content is perfect. Don't change.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@cherylpatterson7911]

I don't think you talk too much. I love all the good information you give us, the personal thoughts you share and your wonderful sense of humor. These little books are adorable. If you had not told us, I would have never guessed they were carpet pictures. Beautiful.

[@amberjohnson-o8j]

I just had surgery and seeing this video was a true gift!!!! I love incorporating Jewlery with paper crafts/ journaling.thank you❤

[@Themed-Journals]

You don’t talk too much! Love this project!!!!

[@dianao1428]

Love it! Taking notes…😊 if people complain about you talking too much they can “listen” somewhere else. They aren’t “learning and loving” here! You are such a blessing and “Treasure” to my heart and soul… Thank you for sharing! Blessings to you. Diana O

[@careybarnaba6233]

Good morning my friend! Just wanted you to know that you never talk to much!! You’re the best teacher for explaining the the process of creating gorgeous content💞

[@harimaumarvin4126]

I love all the detail you give us both with your beautiful voice and words and with the beautiful things you create. You bring me joy! Just keep being you. There are many of us viewers that love you just as you are! Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with us!

[@RondaHillson]

❤ I watch your videos for inspiration and because you talk! I love your accent and the sound of your voice is soothing! Keep being you!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Jas-zzz]

Now those are some treasure books!! 😻 ✨

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@illawallaroo]

I love hearing you chat as you work. It invites us into your craft room, as though we are part of a crafting bee and all of us chatting away. And, it’s often a little side comment you make, about technique, that is truly useful and illuminating and advances our learning curve. So, thank you, and keep on chatting.

[@tracyj2886]

As Fergie once sang, “it’s G-L -A-M-O-R O-U-S!! Or glam, Oh , yes! Yes, yes indeed!! Haters on the talking can just mute the videos if they need to be debbie downers. Keep the debbie downing to yourself or go find a bland creator you more resonate with. We resonate with rays of sunshine on this channel. Treasure Books! If you know, you know! We can all use a bit of sunshine in our lives!!! Love you, girl!❤ This journal is da bomb. Absolutely adore! Made my morning!

[@TreasureBooks]

And your comment made my WEEK! Thank you!

[@kathleenmccrory9883]

These are so exquisite, that I have to pause the video while I rummage for suitable papers!!!!! Also, please don't stop talking to us. ❤❤❤

[@physina]

What a great way to embellish a Readers Digest book - especially your Christmas book!

[@liesldejager9873]

Sumptuous, lavish, luscious, extravagant. It looks so delicious!

[@mariebinkin4365]

Lovely!!! I just finished making a clean junk journal from your tutorial about 11 months ago with beautiful edges. I just LOVE it!!! Thanks so much!

[@Catherine-2008]

I am as excited as Banjo when he gets back from a walk when I saw this video lol! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend, Natasa!

[@cindyrose9083]

You do not talk too much❤. I learn so much from your talking. It makes your videos interesting. Merry Christmas!🎄🎄

[@alanab387]

Simply, you are amazing! Thank you for your inspiring work and for sharing! Keep producing. And talk away!

[@audreys9961]

Oh I am LOVING this because I have just started to work on a "treasure binding" cover. NOTHING as beautiful as yours but this is so perfect for ideas!!! Thank you and please never stop chatting! Thank you soooooo much for being my inspiration every day!

[@joannegossard7719]

So elegant, like something from the old orient! Can't wait to try this project, I think it is another hit!

[@kathyiatrou9733]

You're simply awesome Natasha ❤❤❤❤❤

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you! 😊

[@DebbieShubin]

The more you chat, the more I learn, so keep doing yourself. After all, it's your channel ❤

[@aidatakizawa9944]

Just beautiful Natasha you are a fantastic creator and teacher, with a great sense of humor. Love your work

[@MargaretHines-o3v]

Love your videos and hearing you TALK. So talk on. Loved the journals. Inspiration at work.

[@debraaussiemom8559]

My dear natasha, your freely giving of your self and your talent is not a common thing in todays world. What is a common thing is the ungrateful sense of entitlement,rude and belligerent behavior of some people. I dont comment on the creators channels often but this has promted me to do so. When i first started junk journaling i found you fairly early on and as i looked around utube so much i would see i would say " hey i wonder if TB has a video on that?" And promply look you up. You are a wonderful teacher and attention to detail elevates you from a "crafter" to a "artisan". I love your videos! I think you are charming and sweet and funny. sweetheat, you make me smile.your story as a tramitized family of war refugees ( true refugees) breaks my heart and gives me a sense of how lucky i am and grateful for my circumstances. Please never change. And i hope you never feel hurt by rude and thoughtless people. Your beauty in your art and in your spirit is to be admired.

[@tanyahouston5635]

So, so beautiful! So rich! This is very special. This will be a great way to use some of my mom’s jewelry that I don’t wear, but don’t want to part with. Banjo! Lots of good tips in this video-thank you.

[@Alexander-lt2ou]

All I can say is WOW. You are an amazing crafter, I could watch you all day, your ideas blow me away. Thank you, P.S. you do not talk to much, t you explaining step by step helps us all to understand.

[@S.Granger]

These are absolutely beautiful. Now I'm on the lookout for old jewelry to attempt to make this. Love your tutorials.

[@kandiboyer]

WOW...just WOW! They are absolutely GORGEOUS! I love them and will have to make one when I get time.

[@ColleenMacDonald-r1c]

YOU keep on talking.........I love listening to your voice ,and your attention to detail is so amazing. I love everything you create. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us. If I want to do something new or that have not tried before....I will always go straight to your Channel first.Xx

[@juliebarkley9033]

Thank you for sharing this video with us . These journals are beautiful! That's neat that your dad is an upholsterer, because my husband is one too! He says it's a unique art and the old school way is going away with the rise of machine driven upholstery and computer-aided upholstery!

[@CraftingwithLani]

Oooh! Aaah! Yes, I'll be making these! I even have a carpet book I cut up a while ago. This is a journal I can give away next Christmas without thinking "gee, I hope they'll know what to do with this." Plus, what a great way to use up all those beads and old jewelry I've been collecting (but not using). Thank you!

[@AmberMarieArtStudio]

I find your voice comforting. 🤷 I could (and often do) listen to you talk all day long. (And yes, I even fall asleep to your videos. Please don't be offended. It's because you are familiar and soothing. Safe even.) 🤷 Anyway, your treasure bound journals look glamorous. 😍 You truly are an inspiring artist.

[@shirleysommer9249]

Every week you out do yourself this project is exceptionally beautiful

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🙏

[@jenniferflippo5124]

I don't think you talk to much! Love it!

[@darcypalmer7783]

Just gorgeous. Who would of thought of using a carpet catalog? Well, Natasa! Your imagination continues to amaze me!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@marybethsassoartistmentor]

Stunning books! I can't wait to make one. You don't talk too much; you're very detailed and entertaining. Never change!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! 😊 Noted!

[@katanderson6788]

Oh my, Natasa! How absolutely stunning these are. And the simple pages are perfect as they don’t take away from the showpiece that is the cover. A lovely Christmas gift. 💝

[@allisonjones7794]

Thanks for sharing these magnificent and beautiful treasure books. What can I say, you are the Queen of treasure books....thanks again!😊

[@susanashbrook2241]

Love, love, love these journals and also your chatter!

[@annelarsson6152]

Love these books, such Luxerious covers with all buttons, gems and beads! Wow! Absolutely Gorgeous! Love and hugs from Sweden ❤🤗🤗

[@jacquelyndevitte4992]

It was so fun to hear the zoomies. Pure joy. Love the process of this book. And I’ve got tons of broken and junk jewelry. Now I finally have a reason to use it. Have an awesome day ❤

[@TreasureBooks]

hehe Thank you so much! 😊 You too

[@SandysArt-cx5ek]

I love your videos and you do not talk too much, you just like to do your best to explain things which I appreciate. I love these blingy book covers.😍

[@francegervais272]

Merciiiiiiii Natacha, pour TOUT, reste comme tu es , c'est parfait, et et encore merci pour toutes les astuces, bisous

[@LISAÅBERG-u5s]

WOOWW!! Amazing looking books and as always great listening to you! I love the way you pay attention to details and share that with us. I learn something new in every one of your videos, and I am a total addict, watch them day and night, fall asleep with them, wake up with them. Thank you so much from Sweden for all the inspiration and paperlove you're spreading around the world!!

[@Lunareon]

Literal treasure books! They look so shiny and special. Instead of finding symmetrical images, you could also make the base image yourself, by gluing tapes, stickers and trims in a geometric formation on a paper. You could also layer different materials to give it more dimension. As always, thank you for the tutorial and for the inspiration.

[@Rej58]

I absolutely love this also, just a few days ago I was looking at all the junk jewelry that was giving to me or my old stuff and thought what in the world will I do with all those bigger pieces. Now I know . Thankyou Natasha you are the greatest inspiration for me. God bless you child

[@TreasureBooks]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching 🤗

[@suemobus5906]

I just want you to know that I have learned so much from you! I bought your book the minute it came out. I really appreciate you for sharing all your ideas. I see in other people’s KZbin videos your ideas for the teabag holders and I laugh thinking that’s not your idea! So are my inspiration. Thank you! Sincerely, Sue

[@KarenLeanneCreates2024]

WOW! I guess I will be searching for purchasing some old bling now! Thanks so much for all your tutorials! I'm personally a fan of journals that are filled with more blank pages to write and sketch in. I love listening to you talk as well! Awesome Job on these Treasures!🎉

[@SussexCoastStudio]

I'm 8 minutes in and I'm covered in goosebumps. Your books are every bit as magnificent as the medieval examples you are showing. Just incredible. Everything you create is just breathtaking ✨️

[@mounabb1869]

OMG those books are stunning WAWWWW

[@soniajeffers9298]

They turned out absolutely beautiful

[@SharonKish-k7r]

[@carolynnixon7095]

Thank you for the detailed tutorial. I enjoy hearing the tips and appreciate that you point them out, sharing what you've learned along the way. 🤗

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you 🙏

[@christacreations]

I love watching your videos, who knew you could use carpets for journaling! You always have great ideas. I also bought your book and love flipping through it.

[@sherriallsman1214]

I just want to say that I enjoy your videos and your humor and your dog. You have inspired me to start making journals I know they won't be as good as yours but I'm sure going to try and look forward to making them and watching more videos that you make thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge. God Bless you and your family

[@paulaunger3061]

These books are glorious! Couldn't wait to watch this vid as soon as I saw the thumbnail (had to finish cooking first)

[@justarandomonion25]

These look like books from a fantasy movie. Amazing as always. ❤️

[@blessedaulways4561]

Magnificent … I love it!!!… I don’t have all the supplies to re-create it… but if I did.. I would love to make one..and you do NOT talk too much.. I love your instructions .. it helps me to prefect my projects.. and I need every tip you give… love the journals.. stay you always..

[@jneigler]

These are absolutely gorgeous. Anyone would be very happy to have one. As always, it’s so much fun to watch the process. Learned a lot! Thanks!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@audrablue515]

Oh. Wow. I’m only 18 seconds into the video and I’m beyond excited to make one of these. I have so many jewels I can put on the front cover. Natasa, just when I think you’ve outdone yourself with creativity, you go and raise the bar even higher. This project is gonna be awesome 🤩

[@bknight7698]

‘’I can’t help myself!’’ Is a phrase I often use too!🤣 I’m rearranging my craft area (again) and was going thru blingy stuff and you come up with this video! It’s truly a ‘’Book to be Treasured’’❤👍 ❤👍

[@presley06able]

Girl you outdid yourself on this one!! I’m definitely doing this this weekend!

[@anajones1905]

Treasure mind !!! You are incredible creative and talented!!!!! Thank you again !!!

[@robbinafurong4286]

Above and beyond gorgeous!

[@TubeYouLena]

Totally a living-room-worth-of-a project, absolutely! I just started a new section in my Decoupage Board in Pinterest and named it ‘Carpets with Symmetry as Guides for Bling’. Will print some for my journal, such an awesome idea! I will also be sure to stop by carpet & furniture sections in stores to check for brochures. Meanwhile I will make quick prototypes of those ‘carpets’ with collages from magazine images and my own doodles. 5:59 Nose vs Camera reflection chuckling moment 😊.

[@maryellenshippee8676]

Wow! Just wow! Thank you for another fabulous project. ♥️

[@carmengalliano415]

I will try to recreate your books because they are AWESOME What a fabulous idea for next Christmas gifts. I love the way you teach, so keep on talking because we learn so much.

[@andreashearer2216]

Absolutely beautiful, wish I had a friend like yours to give me all those treasures. I’ll give this cover a go but likely not until the new year. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family Natasha. Can’t wait to HEAR you chat next time.

[@purple_scorp146]

Hi Natasa, these are spectacular and definitely should be kept somewhere on show. Great tutorial, thanks, Linda

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Linda! 😊
