[@Frankie860]

Part two also outstanding. So clear and also pleasant to listen to. Thank you.

[@thebrowndragonfly]

I finished my first altered book yesterday after watching your video series. You explained things so well and I really loved the process. Thank you!!

[@shondra6]

Thanks for sharing . This has been very helpful. 🙏💜👍🏻

[@wendymiles6099]

So well explained . Straight to the point without any waffle . Please do more tutorials.

[@fabcraftsandmore]

Thank you for your kind words. I haven't had much time lately, but I hope to get back to making more soon! Thanks for watching!

[@pamelakallen9630]

Thank you I had watch someone else ,but your way is much easier to follow thank you

[@carolek2090]

I came across your tutorial this morning and I just wanted to say you are excellent at explaining how to do an altered book! I so enjoyed listening! Thank you!

[@fabcraftsandmore]

Thank you so much for the compliment! This made my day better! Thanks for watching and I hope you have fun making your own. :)

[@delc1946]

Thanks so much for such a clear, detailed delivery. Really think I'm going to be able to do this.

[@rickrackandribbons6680]

Thanks for sharing this with me it was great. Made things much easier. Natasha.

[@marymogckmishmashmary]

Thanks for all the tips❣️

[@Moller1955]

Super simple video well explained. I got inspired to do this but I used a sewn book and removed middle of signature pages. It is going to work really well. Thanks. 😊

[@desireemartin3485]

Even though this is 2yrs. Ago this was great and easy to follow. I was able to follow with out having to back up and try to figure out what was meant. I have learned from part 1 and 2. I wish to see how you decided to decorate your pages. I found interesting that you keep the pockets open till you decided on the paper thank you. 😊

[@CreatorsCall]

Again, thank you for the clear and detailed explanation. This two-part series has been extremely helpful to me! I also appreciated your tip on how to keep the Beacon glues from bubbling up - it makes sense. I will be sure to tip the bottle slowly from here on in. I've heard that thinning with a small bit of acetone will help also. My experience with the Beacon 3-In-1 glue versus the Fabritac is that the 3-in-1 is excellent at glueing fabric, plastic and wood pieces to each other or to paper, whereas the Fabritac is good primarily for fabric-to-fabric and fabric-to-paper. Thank you, Tallulah Hill (in the comments) for the insight on washability as well. I didn't realize that, so it's a helpful tip. . I notice no one else has offered a suggestion on how to glue that final page... It's probably too late now, but I like the idea of making a long folded pocket to mirror the page in the back. Hopefully that makes sense. Great video, and I will be back to watch more! I've subscribed too. P.S. I'm your neighbor to the East, in Idaho! :-) Hugs, Marci

I really liked the pockets folding a page on half. Great tips on pockets, thanks!

[@fabcraftsandmore]

Carla Lopez thanks!! Have fun making one!

[@ScreamingSardine]

Thanks so much for this. Very helpful and easy to follow!

[@thebrowndragonfly]

I watched part 1 last night and tore out my pages today. This is a great tutorial and very well explained.

[@fabcraftsandmore]

Yay!! It's really fun and an easy way to get started with junk journaling.

[@gmacrk540]

You really explain things well, I’m going to make one for sure.. Thanks

[@cherylemery8594]

Fabulous tutorial! Thank you. I’m excited to start my altered book.

[@amassakoul4509]

Thank you for sharing this 2-part video. You have given me inspiration for my weekend project. I better start scouting for my book.

[@liliacastellanos9675]

Wow this was amazing! Thank you so much!

[@leannesawtell1155]

I’m learning sooo much from you, thank you for your time 🙂

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

I'm almost finished tearing out the pages from the front of the book. The back is finished. There's some gapping, but it's my first altered book experience and I'm having fun.

[@zajournals]

Awesome how-to 👍🙂 This was two years ago. Where are the videos of you decorating this?

[@fabcraftsandmore]

A lot has happened in the last few years and I haven’t been able to work on it. I hope to get back to this soon!

[@zajournals]

@@fabcraftsandmore ok thanks. I thought I was just not finding them

[@fawnie-r]

I was wondering about the difference between 3-1 vs Fabri-Tac last week while shopping at Joanns. I couldn’t find any documented details to differentiate the two - except the price. Thanks for the tips on gluing the pages- I “jacked mine up” on my last attempt.

[@whiteswanrs]

They are different although they are interchangable. Fabri-Tac is better for fabric. We don't have the full list of ingredients. Both can be thinned with acetone.

[@CreatorsCall]

Yes, the difference in price is a nice plus. I usually choose the 3-in-1 for this reason and because it holds plastic and wood pieces really well in addition to fabric. I like the versatility. Of course, I find availability of the different Beacon products to be iffy, even within the same store (Hobby Lobby for instance). The best/most reliable place I've found for buying the 3-in-1 glue is an E-Bay seller with Walmart being my second choice. Of course, you can always pull up the 40%-off coupon at HL on your phone and that helps combat the high price also. :-) ~Marci

[@AndreaCrisp]

Good to know! I just purchased FabriTac for the first time. I was looking for 3-in-1 but my JoAnn's did not have it and I had a 50% off coupon, If you go to the Beacon website they have a PDF that shows what each product is good for, FabriTac supposedly works on more things - leather, metal and photos where 3-in-1 does not, but even then they seem extremely similar.

[@malinjacobson5999]

OH so fun to learn this teknik. I love this 😍

[@fabcraftsandmore]

Glad you liked it. 😊

[@devinemsm05]

Hi. This is great instructions. Did you do a video of decorating this altered book? I can't find it on your channel. Thank you!

[@fabcraftsandmore]

I do not yet. After making this video the holiday season kept us very busy and then after that we moved. I am just now getting my craft space organized and hope to continue the altered book with some more videos soon!

[@lucy7b]

Thank you

[@fabcraftsandmore]

You're welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@tallulahhill9483]

The difference between the fabritac and 3 in 1 is their ability to be machine washed. Fabritac will hold up better over time than the 3 in 1 on projects you will wash. At least that's my understanding.

[@fabcraftsandmore]

tallulah hill interesting.

[@CreatorsCall]

This is good to know, I didn't realize that. Thanks for the tip! :-) ~Marci

[@AndreaCrisp]

If you go to the Beacon website they have a PDF that shows what each product is good for, FabriTac supposedly works on more things - leather, metal and photos where 3-in-1 does not according to them. Even then, they seem extremely similar.

[@pamelakallen9630]

Do you have a turtial on how to decorate it.

[@Moller1955]

Is there a way to make a double pocket on a page- for example folding the top corner of the page down and the bottom corner up?

[@fabcraftsandmore]

Gillian Jackson try it!! You can do whatever you want, these are just suggestions. I’m going to give it a try. 😀

[@purplepaisley3329]

Where is decorated finished altered book? I can’t find it, please.

[@fabcraftsandmore]

I have not finished it!

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

Will you decorate the outside of this altered book?

[@fabcraftsandmore]

I probably will. I haven’t decided what I want to do yet.

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

I hope you make a video on it.😊
