[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

This would look wonderful on a Book Shelf with old Black & White family Photos!!!!! 🧐📚 what a wonderful idea - thank you Pam xx 🤗🤗

[@cathlynballard8409]

The first idea that popped into my head was - a Holiday card holder! Thanks for this wonderful inspiration, Pam!

[@JenniferSWalker]

I love hearing Holly and the lovies!

[@CherryBerry48]

now now pam, i could handle parts 2 and even three of your filming i dont worry about how neighbor john needs to get the kids off to school and he needs to pull an all nighter at his job but he has to watch your video within 30 mins or less or his day wont be the same, i am a home person who has nothing but time on her hands to sit and enjoy time spent with you!! watching you among all the other crafter in the world has taught me so many skills above and beyond and sunny, dear sweet sunny oh my gosh i mean can you ever, you are so lucky to have him he is pure joy in itself. and i bet if he did talk, he would have the voice that you give him. i adore you and him to the next galaxy beyond measure!!

[@aliciamott1396]

I wasn’t ready for the video to end ?!?! Lol 🍒💕🍄🎨🎨😎😎🌷🍄💕

[@snarkycard]

This reminds me of how, as a child, I made angels out of two Reader's Digests folding top and bottoms inwards to form two halves of the angel's body then gluing the two together for a 3-d angel. A Styrofoam head glued on the top.

[@craftinginmypjs953]

We did Mr and Mrs Clause the same way!

[@crinkledpath]

We did Santa and Mrs. Clause too! Ah the 70s holiday joy. Love this idea for pulling and storing ephemera for a journal!

[@pauletteliddell2923]

I did those too.

[@ruthannepayler6969]

I remember that too!!

[@TheCrabbyCrafterlol]

we made Christmas trees and decorated them

[@leslieheinz2538]

Thanks for the great idea.

[@hollymaudsley3187]

Pam, I love you! I love starting my day with you. Watching your videos makes me smile and gives me a good chuckle. I'm off to the library to give a discarded book a new life! Thanks for the idea and the how to. Have a great day.

[@kathwallace1811]

I did book folding and made these message holders in many sizes. Also made hedgehogs, Xmas trees two of the uses for unwanted books to name have a go Its great fun. Thanks Pam for this video🥰

[@OhAlice1951]

Brilliant! I’m a firm believer that if you see it you use it, and these make all that ephemera visible!

[@bettybutler1686]

Wow! 60 years ago in 4-H we made these from reader’s digest and Farmers Almanac to make a calendar and to-do chore list for our projects. We had no excuses to not be ready for reviews. Used later on with my Boy Scouts thru their years toward Eagle. Taught my girls to use this process to keep shopping coupons and budget for their weddings. So…. Mommy’s going to do this for ephemera! Thanks for the kick in the pants reminder!!! 💝while your gold is still wet could you whisk some gold glitter eyeshadow?!!

[@La1Senora]

The Skeleton in Armor by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow always comes to mind whenever the word Viking comes to mind

[@patsimmons3727]

Oh yes! I remember those Christmas angels and Christmas trees.🙃 When I worked in Children's Services the kids would make them with telephone directories!

[@XenobiaF]

I love Copenhagen! It’s such a beautiful, interesting city.

[@TheName008]

I literally made a paper rolodex while watching your tutorial. You made it easy, as usual. Thanks. I love it! Waiting for glue to dry before I stuff it!

[@cindyreseck4429]

At first i thought maybe Pam was stretching the creativity a bit on this one and then i watched the entire thing and now i love it!

[@aliciamott1396]

Love love love this ideal !!!!!!

[@patriciamaeanthony3838]

Cats will love this! ❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀

[@jeanettamcduffie2488]

I have made several and now I have decided to use it at Christmas for my cards. Love the gold.

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Brings back memories. Thanks Pam.

[@gglove1949]

I saw one of these done in a crafter’s space. They used it to offer their marketing information for custom orders. I thought it was so clever. I took a photo and then forgot about it until you posted this video. Thank you for saving me the experimentation trial part! If I had remembered on my own. 🤣

[@masterbartender]

I love the functionality of this piece. Keep on crafting.

[@brookeguadagno7351]

Pam, what a great idea! How cool. Thank you for sharing this idea.😉

[@vanessarussell7997]

Hi Pam I love this idea. Will be making some of these. You have a wonderful and blessed day.

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

I made one of these a few years ago and put Christmas cards in it to view often. I was quite pleased with the out come!

[@dianebaker4513]

Pam, what an amazing idea! Just another item to add to my long list of things to make. LOVE IT!!!

[@michelkleban1645]

Ok Pam, I love following your ideas. Of course I chose a 500 page book. It is going to be great. Im thinking, holding Christmas card holder. Mine is 3 pages each.

[@lindahowe2293]

Love this!!! And I really like your pretty pink nails, Pam!

[@beckybanta126]

Love seeing the comments regarding all the Reader's Digest folding creations that you have inspired us to remember! This took me right back to RD Christmas Trees I made for so many gifts. Would spray paint them green. Loved the feel of paper & folding. These are so unique! Made a few Angel's as well! What fun to read these comments......feeling the kinship of paper folders. TU, Pam!🤗

[@christinacowley2902]

Wow Pam what a great idea! I think even I can handle this project. Very cool

[@sandrasheldon5407]

I am always happy hearing how you do your crafting, I don't find what you do slow.

[@debbiechrist6658]

Love this idea!! Super cute 😍.. My husband heard you talk about brownies and ask if he was getting brownies...lol

[@binaalmilli7216]

Pam I LOVE this idea ! Such a unique way for displaying Holiday Cards too ! Endless ideas ! Thank you so much Pam ❤️

[@carriekernel2273]

This is Genious !!!!!! I love you Pam !!!!

[@trixie1556]

Yes! I made one last week. I have my tags and ephemera filed in the pages

[@craftygrandma56]

I made one years ago and then retired it....maybe time to bring it out of retirement!!! As you said, great to keep embellishments but also for pictures as a decoration. The only problem I had with it was that it takes up so much room on the desk. I made some pockets along the way by gluing a two page sides together.....good for skinny thing!

[@WoodlandInspired]

How super cool is that, I will wait for part 2 to see it stuffed. Thanks for sharing this project Pam, love it! 💕

[@tinamccall3916]

Love this idea! I see a project in my near future!🤗

[@wease4824]

I haven't book folded for a long time. I missed the library sale :(....I need a certain number of pages to make a beautiful butterfly....I need to put the cloth measuring tape back in my purse. I could do this with one of the many wrong books I've saved over the years. Thank you for reminding me of how much I love folding books.

[@rhondazamora8136]

I love this idea! Thank you!

[@B.journalcreations]

Love this, thank you for sharing ❤️

[@kathykeough6598]

This would be a perfect card holder for cards received during the year. Before recycling. I will be making these for holiday gifts! Great fun idea!!!

[@kimberlyfaure1845]

You are just a crack up🤣😂. Well, I must say… it is a cute idea. I made a book fold tea pot a few years back. Probably could of used it for the same thing. Had I known of its many uses. 😝 Now I am sad that I threw my “thing a ma bob holder“ ….. away 😩. Cute video.

[@gigglesbarb]

I use one like this to hold my business cards at my craft fairs.

[@rhondadorst3553]

Love love love this!!!

[@michellejanossy8186]

Always learn something new with you Pam! 💕 Thank you!

[@leerowley70]

What a great idea!!!

[@fanceystreasures6175]

Love this idea. I made a fancy one last year, a very fun project.

[@SusieMathews]

Love the “singed” look to the ends ❤️ I know what I am doing this afternoon 😁

[@joansensing8504]

So very cute!!

[@leannel1381]

This is fabulous…..that being said though……I have to wait until I get my Craft Room back…….one day the child will move out……lol!

[@831Miranda]

Very clever and easy !

[@kristineblack7041]

I made one of these about a year ago and use it to display birthday and Christmas cards that we get. Also great way to display handmade cards from crafty friends. Easy to make and very fun.

[@barbaranoble9748]

What a great way to hold craft supplies at your finger tips! Have a wonderful day! Tyfs!

[@minkademko2335]

I've done that with pages to burn them (boring catalogs, etc) easier in the fire pit, but never thought of them as a handy holder ❤️ If the book is any thickness, you could just fold the center pages and leave some of the first and last for weighting if it lays flat nicely. What do you think? Hi, Holly 🖐️

[@letha57]

We used to fold catalogs and make Christmas trees

[@ruthannepayler6969]

Super handy idea Pam! You spoke in a video not so long ago about the business side of your crafting world. I would be interested in info about that. I had a brainwave the other day about Farmer's Markets etc. Just thinking out loud!!

[@TheCrabbyCrafterlol]

The half-fan would be great in a drawer as a divider for smaller items. I've seen this on a Margarite Miller video--she used the whole book and folded every page. Beautiful addition to shelf/work area. They look so cool.

[@lizhallengren5127]

! Awesome idea!

[@roxannaerhard4777]

Great idea

[@theresamiller996]

Great idea!

[@elisekt1860]

Such a good idea! I had been recycling old books that the library didn’t want. You’re reinforcing my pack rack mentality.🙃

[@Ddouglas0302]

Genius!

[@kellylea3575]

Oh this brought back memories of my grandma! She had a Christmas card holder like this. Thanks Pam.

[@elainemyers4804]

Mine is all done! Thank you PAM awesome idea

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Great job!

[@greendancingshoes]

Love this!

[@evied.4475]

I made one of these a few months ago and I keep family pictures in it. I like the idea of doing one for my paper stuff. I hate always digging for what I need. Maybe it will help me be more organized. Yea right. 😆

[@Maggiesplace48]

This is so cool tfs Pam...Kia Kaha...

[@megperry5586]

You could load it with holiday cards you receive as a nice way to display them. Just thinking

[@krisgossett1570]

Cool idea!

[@cathyyoung1165]

What a nice little project. I am going to attempt this for Christmas cards. Thanks for all of your ideas.

[@elizabethroyko7124]

Very cool!

[@alanaskinner5703]

I absolutely love this, great for my craft room desk. More than useful, it is conversational. lol Thanks Pam

[@linaleblanc8288]

Fabulous idea ❤❤❤😊 It puts me in mind of the Readers Digest angels my grandmere Rose used to have

[@phylliswilliamstn]

That would be a nice Christmas card or bill holder. 😊

[@kristinvoss9857]

What a great idea! I will be making one or more of these soon! You make everything you make seem so do-able. Love to Sun-Bun!

[@donnaswisher8408]

I did it with you. I used a book that had 174 pages and it worked great. I'll glue it to a cover that I had messed up the spine when removing the text block. I was going to make a new spine for it after watching your video on how to do that...but...this was an excellent use for it! And now I'll have to make another one of these to use the other half of the cover. TFS Regards to the menagerie and Papa too. Hope you all have a great day. 🌞

[@leisacarnahan7647]

Very Awesome idea Pam! Thanks for sharing.

[@blazin_kitty]

Love this idea!!!! I’m gonna have to find a book and make myself one!

[@bette-annflood835]

I may give this a go. Seems like a pretty useful idea. Would like to see how well it holds things too.tfs

[@daniellelogan330]

this is an awesome idea I was wondering if you could glue the pages at least where they fold .. to make it sturdy? Love your ideas

[@BarbaraTristan444]

This folding reminds me of making Christmas Trees🎄 out the old Readers Digest Books (hard cover)

[@shellywilliamswilliamscomp783]

I will be making this soon. I know about the angels. You fold down the upper page corners into a triangle to make them. Next you trim it to desired height. Glue down Christmas lights and a doll head, wings, and lastly cover with cotton balls.

[@SillyThingsArt]

Great idea! I have to try this. TFS

[@selinastephens5265]

Ooooooo yes yes yes!!!!!! I have wanted to make one of these for aaaages. Thank you Pam

[@Zandain]

I love my hometown of Copenhagen, too - but I moved up north, to the coast, years ago when the kids were small..for the fresh air, the Kattegat ocean and the surrounding forests 🥰 I love this rolladex ephemera holder, must make one, two or maybe more. 🤔 'wayward souls, bc of boulderdash-ery! => makes for cock-eyed work' What century did you pick that out of, Pam? 🧐🤣 I mean, 'the purtiness and the rub-a-dub of the heavy honkers' hello from Denmark 🌸🌱

[@happymailmagic]

I'd REALLY love to see you make "A Book Angel" like you were saying you made back in School. I've never seen how they are made! (Did you know the video cut 9fg before we got to see you stuff your new Book Rolladex Thingy? It's always fun seeing what type of EPIC pieces of old Paper, Cards & even Gorgeous Ephemera you've already made out of literal Scraps that most people would throw away! I'm definitely going to go try this one!!!

[@rachealetters3518]

Awesome

[@dorothyviljoen8888]

Wow, such a great idea, and it looks cool too💕

[@francelanoue1292]

Hi Pam hope everything is good I love that idea and you be sure I will make one ! Thank you!

[@myotheraccountonothe]

Just brilliant Pam 😘❤️🤩

[@elizabethlampi7667]

The idea to tug in things on your current project is fantastic! (You mentioned Christmas). When I make books for someone I find things that remind me of them. This would be a great way to display these found treasures as I create the pages. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@elizabethlampi7667]

That’s tuck in things..

[@linnydaniels8095]

What an awesome idea. Love it and can’t wait to see make one to display in my craft room 🥰

[@SBre-ti4lx]

Cool idea, thank you!😃

[@alicenenigar843]

Great idea, I am in process of making a Halloween and black cat journal for my daughter. I have things I want to use in a plastic basket, this will be great. I am up in Jacksonville Fl., heavy rains coming in later today so craft room here I come.

[@lindasueplantsforyou263]

And we used to make Christmas trees out of Readers Digest And attached teeny ornaments all over.

[@emmkaa2099]

This is really cool Pam, and the gold on the very edges reminds me of the gold on the edges of our family Bible. VERY cool! Hugs sweets, MK 🤗❤🏜❤🤗

[@ThePaperOutpost]

So cool MK!

[@lubellscreations1841]

Thank you for doing this I have been wanting to make one. But I was a little hesitant.

[@catherinemccarty2307]

we used to use old white or yellow pages to do this or even an old Cosmopolitan magazine. I guess I am really dating myself! This would be great for a beginner to start off. You could see better what options you have available instead of putting stuff in boxes. This would also be good if you really were against tearing up a book for the pages. You would have to leave the cover on it but it might work okay.

[@karenmaki4734]

Something to do while watching a movie. When I sit everyday in my craft room my legs swell. So if I’m going to church the next day I don’t go in my craft so my legs aren’t so swollen. So this is something on those days I wish I could be in my craft room.
