Building a Foundation for a Folio & Covering with Fabric

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Tina, don't underestimate yourself. You just have to give things a try and you'll find out how good it will turn out. We all learn as we go sometimes as we go. Looking forward to seeing more. A lot will be covered, so no one will ever know how we made our project.😃👍🤗🤗 Hugs to the kids Stay safe.

[@cheryldouglas234]

Can’t wait to see you decorate this! Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

[@robinmentzer7974]

Love the way this folio is looking. So glad you showed the entire process, it has made it look easy enough that I feel that I could do one of these now.

[@debbieforward5282]

I see so many possibilities with doing a folio like this. My brain is spinning with ideas. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me to try something like this.

[@JSteer.FlowerOfMyHeart]

Thank you for being willing to show the challenges and how you overcome them. I learn a lot! Hugs from Utah! ♥

[@tonyashatley5040]

Wow! You are so good at these folios! I love when you make these! I also love how you experiment and try new things on camera! It gives us the confidence to just try it! 💜

I haven’t made a folio in quite some time. Thought I’d revisit this video and hopefully get out of my slump!😊

[@sandrasimard1808]

I never worry about things coming together with you as , if always comes out beautiful, 🤗😊🌞🌻

[@margieryne6220]

Hi, Tina, it’s going to be another winner! Thanks for helping me workout again! Love & hugs my friend!😘

[@ThelmaGrace1930]

Tina, I'm nearly sitting on the edge of my seat to see what happens next! This is so interesting and fun! Love how you do things on the fly and make everything come together,,, like magic✨️ You are so talented!💐❤️

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Paulina x

[@sassymimisandysue3997]

I agree with you Paulina, she does an incredible job of each tutorial she does and she worries about all the trials and tribulations she goes through to get the job accomplished! When I am thinking how effortless she makes it look and how amazingly it goes together as if she had practiced it over and over again before showing it to us! Great job Tina. I can hardly wait to see what your next project will be.

[@darschoenrock4057]

I just love watching you. You are a hoot! Thank you for this video. I am a novice, so you help me a lot!😆

[@dennisbowman3042]

I really like this!!! Debbie B

[@bette-annflood835]

wow!!! I really like this. will be interesting to see it with ephemera

[@joannepeyton1654]

Hi Tina: I can’t believe you did all that work in 51 minutes and on camera, to boot! Really like your choice of fabric. Think this will be a stunning folio when you finish. 💜😎🇺🇸

[@sherryvanderpool4024]

I love this folio with all its flaps and flips

[@glynismccartneyintricatesc5281]

Going to be a great journal! ❄️❤️❄️🇨🇦

[@lynettejonker7980]

i like the material you're using. Lovely

[@leahcushman5290]

Such an exciting build! I can't wait for the next phase! A great start to my Monday morning, for sure! Thank you, Tina❤️❤️❤️

[@haikubarbie]

I've watched Mandy put together folios, but I've never been brave enough to start from scratch. Your video is a confidence builder for me. I'm going to try it next week!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

That’s fantastic, have fun x

[@deborahdettor1694]

🔆I think this is going to be marvelous!!! I, too, love toile, and this particular pattern is absolutely gorgeous. Can’t wait to see the next video!🔆

[@marykunselman284]

Love this I know I’m going to make this one I love it

[@kellyratliff3473]

New and subscribed. Thank you for your time and inspiration .

[@katherinehazard7580]

Tina, I am really looking forward to this journal/folio!! I love this idea! Hope you and the children are well! Hugs!

[@RecraftedByCarol]

Hi Tina, I am still here lurking, I love your folios this one is going to be so interactive 💖 great idea to use card bases, I have some of those, my go to is envelopes 😁 hope you are well 🤗hugs

[@gloriaskipper1691]

I’m LOVIN it!🤣

[@patpatsthis-n-that5586]

Tina you are so clever and amazing. Thank you for your videos ❤️

[@vickinoeske1154]

The flap is absolutely fine! I love watching you figure things out because I find folios totally confusing.😝

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, they really are aren’t they? X

[@suemitchell8641]

Tinas folios are great

[@ericastannard2635]

I absolutely love it when you make a folio, you’re right that each is different! The way you’ve done this one is actually the clearest example of the “how-to” of a folio. Really fun & I look forward to the next step!

[@bommake1]

LOVE IT !!!!!!

[@prof.mommyarty]

Ooh, folio time 😁, I have one planned soon. Gorgeous fabric Tina 😍. Oh cute sleeves again 😍. Love that everything can be adjusted/adapted/covered. I TRY to be precise but never make it 🙊. Yes it's like worrying about backgrounds then covering them up! Lol one day H&M and Amazon will be vintage😄. You're your own worst critic! It'll be gorgeous. I like a lot of glue for larger areas too. Folios evolving differently is my favourite thing about them. Can we be too flappy? Naaaah lol. Folios really are exciting, can't wait to start. Looking great, see you in the next one😁. Tfs and have a great week 💖💖💖

[@junkjournalgeek]

Love it!

[@lindahurlock-sewoneofakind6155]

Hi Tina, I love to watch you put together a folio. You do such a fantastic job. They confuse the heck out of me. I can’t wait to see how beautiful this one comes out. Because all of yours turn out gorgeous. Hugs 🤗

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Linda x

[@CraftroomStories]

This is going to be so fun! I love toile, by the way. It is my absolute favorite. Managed to find some purple toile on ebay. I recovered some lamp shades in it, now using the rest for journals.

[@gladysward6969]

Coming along, nicely Tina. The bones are done, now the fun part of decorating begins! Having ready-made ephemera at hand will make things much easier. TFS. See you again soon! 🦋🌺🎨

[@artzology]

This one looks like fun! So many flips and flaps! So creative Tina! Love it! xo

[@Tattytreasure]

Oooo I'm liking the look of this Tina, I might have to give this a go I've got some of those card bases I usually just use them to make notebooks or tag bases. It's going to take some covering (if you are). Looking for to seeing part 2

[@KimGibsonfiberlover]

I love what you’re doing! But honestly, just remember that you can pretty much treat fabric just the same as paper, it’s just a bit thicker! Oh, and has the advantage of being a bit more flexible….but you have had a great result from your “beginner’s go)!

[@gaillynne1619]

Oh you can never be too flappy 😎

[@Mrs.DeeAnnNance]

😂 Agreed!!!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol x

[@motherofdogs27]

If you aren’t putting signatures into the folio, you MUST have lots of flaps….so FLAP ON!! ❤️

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol x

[@lisamoseley9914]

If you would like to speed up the drying of glue between the fabric and paper, you can use a dry, clothes iron on it. I do that with glue basting quilt pieces when I don't want them to move while stitching. That way, you don't get glue on your needle.

[@ruthiepooh86]

No worries, Tina. I’m not a precision person either. That’s why this junk journaling craft appeals to me. As soon as I see someone get out the ruler and begin measuring every procedure, I leave the channel and go to someone like yours or Pam’s.

[@glynisjohnson5501]

I cant deal with the measuring thing im broken" 4inch 8inches on the inch and half,and quarter""" it drives me NUTTS" THIS IS VERY NICE AND I CAN DO IT"" THANK YOU IT FEELS GOOD ...TINA U R♡CK BABE LOL...

[@kimberlyroveredo9137]

Hi Tina. I’m wondering what kind/brand of glue you are using? It doesn’t seem to warp things like mine does.

[@lalagamma4452]

Totally Awesome idea from trash to a real heirloom treasure!!! Hoppy 🐇 Easter!! Guess what.. my Great Grandson, Julian Christopher, made his debut on 4/7/22. My hunny's birthday! He arrived at 4:53am! He weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces. I’m not sure at the moment how long. We're over the moon. Sry I'm Mia still I needed a hiatus from social media. 🐞✌️🕉️

[@janaralea6028]

Hi Tina. I really like your folio idea & really like that fabric. Where did you find it? Oh, I’ve kept forgetting to ask you whether or not you’d like a Tim holts ring w/cogs, etc. If you do let me know. Thanks, Janara

[@hizzins222]

😍😍😍🤩😍👏👏👏👏👏

[@motherofdogs27]

If you want to avoid “baggy, bobbly type bits” get some of those cheap paint brushes and use them to spread your glue. I learned that when I made a journal and did NOT spread the glue with one and had “bubbles” show up., I was so mad at myself. The brushes should clean up with soap and water.

[@lailabeauty7532]

👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺🙏😘😘🙏

[@RedStoneWhite]

Not too Shabby 😁👍

[@cindyinaz2357]

I didn’t know how to properly pronounce the fabric either,so I googled it…😂

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, thank heavens for google x
