Fab tutorial thank youuuuuu Heather. I do love the marble inside covers. These lovely old books get a new life by turning them into beautiful junk journals xx

[@kayhammock]

Hi Heather. I love that you didn't edit out your oops moments as I have so many of those!! It's nice to know I'm not the only one. Haaa. The velvet is perfect on this.

Loved your video and the book you're making, just wow!

[@austenspapertree8429]

That was wonderfully inspiring. Now I really want to try it out. So awesome that you filmed it and also let us take part in “the mistakes”. We all know that too well. So I felt right at home at your desk.

[@RaindropLila7]

This is so beautiful, Heather. I really love the blue velvet on it. Looking forward to the next part. Thanks!

[@coffeeandpaperscraps2915]

I have extended spines before but never like this and was never able to still use the gorgeous spine that already exists. I love this technique! Thank you so much for sharing!!! It’s beautiful!

[@billiemobley6424]

I appreciate this so much today!

[@LynneMCreations]

Thank you so much Heather! Great video! I can't wait to try this. I've got hoarded book covers I can use now LOL

[@sharongruener6078]

Great video. Thank you. Lovely. Blessings.

[@uniquelyella4381]

Hi Heather, great tutorial. I too love the marble cover, would love to give it a try. Thanks.

[@barbsanford8736]

This is such a great idea!! ❤️

[@vintagepolkadotshop]

Thank you so much for sharing - love this tutorial.

[@SerenaBee]

Can’t wait for part two!

[@Dana-fn5zt]

The outside is beautiful! I would’ve left the inside covers as they were instead of covering them up. I would’ve put a sliding belly band

[@theshabbyhippie]

Great tutorial, Heather!! That spine is beautiful and I also love the velvet piece that you put on! Looking forward to part 2.

[@stonenest55]

That's such a good video, Heather. You have showed us how to resize any junk journal book we love. It can be so difficult to find just the right size book. I'm happy to have this video as a reference to come back to when I try this process.

[@paperdaisyjournals]

Wonderful video, thank you for sharing 🤗

[@rosehillpapercottage7179]

Thank you for sharing this great tutorial! I have yet to extend a spine but I know I’ll be trying it for sure! The velvet is beautiful and goes so well along with the crochet trim. Those book covers are gorgeous 😍 What an amazing find❤️❤️❤️

[@jacynthejournals]

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial Heather!! Turned out so beautiful. Looking forward to part two :)

[@berrymixjournals]

Love this tutorial! I have to try it for my next journals!

[@mithuthb]

When I do a project like this, I save the blank pages and use those to print old documents and letters prints. The real foxing on the pages makes the finished product look authentic. Just be careful not to use pages that are too brittle and might jam your printer!

[@scrappycavie5151]

I really enjoy your videos. I really can't get enough!! Your journals are so very beautiful!!! I wondered how you were going to attach the other cover with the first piece of fabric. LOL Thank you for an awesome tutorial!!! You are very clear and easy to follow!

[@BRebornArtHealing]

❤ love this idea. I eabt yo do a jimk journal planner.

[@elisanilsson1101]

Good to se that im not The only one who is making these mistakes 😄😁 i have done so many junk journals and I know how i like to make them but I make these mistakes often.

[@reneacrawford7890]

Thank you so much for sharing this... what a great idea! Quick question for you , how do you flatten your vintage wallpaper that comes in a roll?

[@carolynperreault2498]

Oh Heather you have done it again with a great tutorial and beautiful work. I love this technique of extending a spine. Could you share where I can source some beautiful old French books like these?

[@rubyandpearlxo]

You can try etsy . and I have also bought some from instagram sellers. I actually found one at my local antique shop too. Thank you so much.. so glad you liked it!

[@lissaroberts9327]

Hi Heather....thank you for sharing! This is such a great technique. Question....what material did you use for the spine?

[@rubyandpearlxo]

I used a heavy cardstock and then glued it all together with a thin linen fabric. Thank you so much!
