[@sharoynlivingston5256]

That's a great tip to use the sanding block to smooth out and age the mod podge bubbles! I'm really liking these storage 'books' and am thinking they would be really cute to give with a handmade journal... decorate the storage book to match the journal, and attach a simple closure over the opening to hold the journal inside.

[@jinibell4649]

2 years later! I did the whole thing with double sided tape. I also did cover with fabric as well. I made a larger storage folder with an Amazon box. Never thought I could make it, but went stoically on, and voila 1 hour later, I finished. 😅thanks Pam for all these videos. Making things I never thought I could possibly make. 😂

[@RosemaryMarisArt]

It might be easier to glue the gusset fabric on the outside of the cover before you put on the paper cover if you see what I mean great idea

[@concegoodwin6170]

I so enjoy crafting with you because : 1- I always make a mess! (and no longer mind it) 2- Have fun being creative with you. 3- Finally using supplies I have had for years. 4- Using everything I have and not buying anything. Encourages me to be more creative. Thank you!

[@eliasflynn8570]

Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.

[@timothykamden9661]

@Elias Flynn Instablaster =)

[@eliasflynn8570]

@Timothy Kamden i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@eliasflynn8570]

@Timothy Kamden It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my account !

[@timothykamden9661]

@Elias Flynn glad I could help xD

[@chronicchrafter7261]

I love this idea! My mom would probably cringe at a lot at these crafts because she is a retired librarian and bibliophile! I love books too, but I have NO problem tearing one up for the sake of art! As far as sewing the gussets to the book cover, you'd want to pre-poke all the holes for sewing and hand stitch it. You could probably machine stitch it, but I personally wouldn't want to risk missing the holes and messing up my machine. Love your videos!

[@loriannnorris439]

I love listening to you. You have an amazing personality. The crafting is a bonus. You make me want to create.

[@karlasbunnytrail]

Agreed

[@lauraharmon659]

She makes me want to plan a trip to vacation at her house...oh the learning and fun we could have...lol

[@patrice8257]

You can spritz the paper with water before glueing that might help with the wet bubbles. Great idea!!

[@MsOhsusanna]

Love! Please more diy for junk journal storage. So fun!!!

[@laurelhess2836]

It is good that you share it with us when you struggle. Makes us not feel so bad. Suggestion : doing it over 2 days would be simpler. You glue one side, then wait until the next day to do the other when the 1st is stable.

[@shaynaraine3957]

Pam, you could totally turn these into purses! Add straps or handles, and a closure, then BOOM! A gorgeous, one of a kind purse! :D

[@sandypeppers6861]

You have one of the best vocabularies I’ve heard in a long time!

[@zynzane9680]

I adore just listening to your voice Pam! And now I am hopelessly in love with that little bird!

[@anitapearson2977]

I just don't have any books to do this. But I will watch for any I find. Great idea.

[@janicedarmody6253]

Check thrift shop- cheap books usually can find them in good shape- (watch out for any mildew-)

[@bettybutler1686]

Fitting oxymoron for stolen book yer using: UNBORED !!!! Have you ever been???? Hubby just got a shredder so I had to put up “NO TRESPASSING “ signs on My three rooms sewing/crafts/writing office. No entry and no snitching my scraps. My scraps equal my sanity. But in his Amazon Mail were two boxes with two generous spines and lovely overlap so pretty paper will be protected. Found an old Hermès bag that had survived a savage cat attack. 💼 handle will be lovely on my paper holder. TYFT

[@katieharsha5297]

I simply love watching you create! You really enjoy what you are doing and has inspired me to broaden my horizons! Thank you.

[@suemitchell1354]

We are so blessed we have something to do we enjoy instead of telling "bored"!. Yelling

[@PastorsWifeDigiPrints]

This is a great idea! I keep alo of my paper in frozen Pizza boxes.

[@jenndotson6718]

17:46 Ok Pam, I had a brainstorm while watching this old video. If you put a book or box inside the cover with the “width of choice” and almost as tall as your book cover, you can pull your flaps up and over, then apply glue where you need it, close the other cover on them to get them squished onto the glue and tada, gussets are done! Not sure if that made sense to anyone, but it sounds good in my head!

[@rbeck1987]

"Just a little tip from the trenches." 😂 Love it Pam. Always reminds me of Good Morning, Vietnam for some reason.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

LOLOL :)

[@1jackiejoy]

[@lizlunch7066]

Chocolate, chips, and cheese are my go-tos for emergencies! Beautiful covers and project!

[@dianagalaxy7928]

Those copper scissors are so beautiful! ✂️

[@michelestamp8651]

I was wondering whether you could have glued the fabric gussett to top and bottom and then put the text block (pages you removed) back in place to fold the gussett fabric onto it, place glue and then close book cover. Wouldn't this alleviate the need to use the ruler etc to make a tight connection between gussett and book cover?

[@ThePaperOutpost]

I like your suggestion!! :)

[@terriashby5752]

Was about to suggest the same!

[@shotypinky]

Lol that was my suggestion too. Just makes sense.

[@pamrugman1998]

Michele Stamp or a 1x1 block of wood

[@navyboymommygramma]

That was pretty much my idea, except I was thinking you might not have the text block so was thinking of making a jig of sorts or use another book to drape the fabric over, with glue on the book or on the fabric....either way would work. But..... MY way is going to be even easier hahaha I'm not going to make one muahahashga not that way that is. I'm going to lay it down with the front cover being the lid and the walls and dividers will be cardboard to organize my little bits like washi, paper clips, pens, etc. 🤗

[@sarbearcrafty]

I'm making one of these using the box from my dog food. I may have went on a pocket making spree last night 👀, so now I need a place to store them 😂

[@aptwalker2009]

This is a great storage container. I may try a couple. I'm going to cover the spine with the same cloth used for the 'gusset', but I'll glue the fabric down on the outside of the cover to avoid all of the hassle of trying to get the fabric right on the inside of the cover. That would be a personal nightmare for me. It would also do away with having to try to gesso over the edges and spine too. If the decorative paper to use on the outside covers is too thin to glue smoothly over the fabric on the edges, I'll use chipboard, cereal box salvage, or manila (or heavier) file folders to glue the deco paper on before adding it to the outside. Thanks for sharing.

[@kerynokeeffe9133]

Patricia, my thoughts exactly. My patience level without doing it this way would be off the charts!!! 😂😂😂

[@Spot4art]

So much fun to watch and learn!

[@deborahbovee9468]

Love the sanding results!

[@lianelinner9594]

"We're on to something, who knew!" I love it :) thank you so much for sharing with us!

[@loritaylorart]

You make the coolest things! 😍

[@amyjo1293]

That’s a good idea! I will do that after my injury heal first. Thank you, Pam. Have a good day.

[@lisebedard7247]

Awesome idea

[@rosemaryhawkins3490]

Love your ideas Pam and your videos

[@kimberlywalker280]

Totally cool idea!....and beautiful. 🙂

[@rhondaraines4550]

I love this!!!! I am using a few of my books to do this. so easy to store and find. again, I love this idea...thank you Pam.

You are so welcome!

Smart idea Pam 🤗🥰😘

[@Desertbearsangel]

You are hilarious! I love watching you create. Thank you for sharing your fabulous ideas and your sense of humor! xxx

[@patversteeg1667]

Pam, after one side of the gusset put a book the same size in side the book...it is weight on the one side of the glued fabric then flip the other side of the fabric up on top of said book..put glue on the edge then close the book cover down on inside book and it is done. After glued fabric is dry remove inside book and the mouth opening is exactly the width you want.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Pat Versteeg! Fantastic idea! I love it!!! Thanks so much for sharing! :) Pam :) !!

[@meelane]

i like this tutorial i feel inspired to try and take it a step further and see if i can make a purse like this

[@shondra6]

He he he . Chocolate is my friend. I lurv the technique with the cracks . And sandpaper is very handy TFS.

[@patriciaruppert201]

Good morning from sunny Wisconsin. Home from visiting my sister so now I am catching up on videos. Love the warbles as it so explains those wrinkles. You are so fun. Thank you for the humor. ❤️❤️❤️

[@killhannaah]

I love this idea!!!! I'm going to try it!

[@BelvaGray]

This is a great idea!❤

[@janicedarmody6253]

I saw another KZbinr who used wax paper and ironed the wrinkles a little!! I like the wrinkles look- it does look like cracks and aged! I think she did the writing board that way- I saw hers after yours. I made a writing board so thanks for the inspiration!

[@robinmuddiman7194]

Cool idea and you explained how to do it well! Love this!

[@tma4444]

This is a neat-o idea!! Tfs

[@momszycat4148]

Great idea! I use old wine boxes. They're large and sturdy cardboard.😁

[@maureenmunro2826]

Love this...going to try making one and will let you know if I make any changes.

This is so nice. I needed to see it as I am going to make one to hold the two journals that I made For Kaci, my 14 yr old great granddaughter

[@deeleaman1839]

What a wonderful idea! Definitely going on my to-do list. This will help my craft organization which I’m working m now. Thanks very much for sharing.

[@debbietanton6798]

Ive got to try this!!! I love it!! BUT I want to have mine open at the top so I can store them in a book case!!! Also I think using covered chipboard might be easier for the sides. It will give you more control!! BUT I love it!!! Thank you so much!!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Great idea! :)

[@KD-yy6on]

What a great idea Pam love this tfs love from London x

[@ThePaperOutpost]

You are so welcome KD!! :)

[@auntdeedeesdollnursery3212]

I would mess it up, ill try glueing fabric on the outside with bigger pieces and see if that works better for me. 😆😅

[@joaniesjournals5329]

This is lovely! Heading to the Dollar Store for a book...Suggestion? When you glue the fabric on the inside spine, perhaps put it down first and then glue your pretty papers on top of it to prevent catching and allowing easy “egress”...Hugs...❤️❤️❤️

[@laurelhess2836]

Check out the Goodwill outlet store. Cheaper, better quality covers and some awesome vintage finds.

When I saw you had two videos I went and got my coffee 🤣🥰😂. Wow! What a cool project! The sides are tricky but I don’t know how else you could do it...just takes patience and dexterity.🤣. So many uses and the protection it offers is great. The cover treatment is fabulous....on to video #2 and my 2nd cup of coffee 👍

Crafting my way through Covid is my new tag line.....lol

[@nelsonshakespeare2881]

Hello Pam! Long time ago a professional cutler told me to clean adhesives from scissors and other metal blades like exacto knives with a little white vinegar on a piece of an old t-shirt or other lint free cloth. Reason: it will not pit or cause your blades to rust. Second suggestion is to use a citrus based cleaning oli found at most hardware stores or places like walmart. I use one called Goo-B-Gone

[@susiescraftroomandstudio]

I am loving this! Blessings and Hugs 🤗

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Same to you!

[@filomenasgaramella7149]

Oh my goodness! Waiting for a video like this for a long time. Great idea ! Love it. Now i ' ll take all of the books in my house and try this😄😄i truly need this to keep those papers organized and without the curling too!!!! Yeaaaaaaah😊😊😊😊

Have fun!

Great idea...tfs

[@gurkmeja2021]

What a clever storage thingy - and looking GREAT aswell. Absolutely looooove this. If I ever get any time to craft again (have had the collie puppy in the house for 4 days...!) I'll try to make one. Good job, Pam! /Ditte

You are hilarious, so funny. I talk to my project and I dont make videos. Praise it when its working out and tell it off for being naughty ..... lol When you were gluing i wanted to dip my hand into the screen to help you out. But you had it covered.

[@ThePaperOutpost]

You can do it!

[@soapsfromhome9979]

I have used Mod Podge on large canvases where I put a poster on the canvas with the mod podge. When the bubbles popped up I just put a tiny pin hole in the middle of it and press the air out of the bubble. Smooths right out. 😁 but it is cool looking to sand them bubbles out!

[@jodyconrad3763]

With Modpodge is best to use a brayer to smooth it down. I also have a card that smooth the paper. They came with my Mod Podge. I love it. There are so many types. I love this idea.

Glad it was helpful!

The Paper Outpost 😀

[@jeanroeder5534]

A block of wood would help you space and glue the gussets. Have the block of wood the same thickness as your book opening and it will also act as a support while working on the project.

Love this idea Pam and I have to say the book gluing gusset was impressive you have all the patience in the world. I want to try this for sure but I have some thoughts about the gusset, I will keep you posted. Oh the love of chocolate, the struggle is real and good idea giving some away. Have to watch the next video, you like totally vanished. Thanks for the new project idea and I hope your having a awesome weekend.

I just came across your channel and suscribed. I love your file holder. I have a couple of these that I found at thrift stores. I had thought of making a couple to hold my themed magazines. Your home made ones are just as good as the store bought ones. With your ideas I can make more and decorate the ones that I already have that are starting to look a little grungy. I liked yours so much that I subscribed to your channel. TFS

[@dianacotto2545]

I love this!!! I’m new here and I can watch glue dry all day 🤣. I also thought a great big one with added handles would make a beautiful artist portfolio.

[@kristeentoner1629]

Hi from the UK.. love, love, love your chaos. Just wanted to pass on a couple of possibly helpful tips...WD-40 for removing sticky marks and if you do want rid of your glue bumps then I have a little mod podge smoother but a plastic store card type thing will do just as good with a little baking paper to protect xx

[@grandmasmagic3858]

perhaps a strip of wood, perhaps a centimetre or 2 thick, the width of you inner book spine and long enough to stick out of end/side of book cover..then place along end of book, bring the material to the top with glue on top and close the book cover over..that way you have some firmness to press on AND support at the same time..

[@sherryvanderpool4024]

You are so creative you always give great instructions and tips I’m going to have to make several lol

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Thanks so much 😊

I had never heard of junk journal until i was bored the other night and came across your videos. You are brilliant. I really want to try to do one but what are they actually used for? Also i absolutely love this storage caddy, you make it all look so easy but i know that it will not be easy if i give it a go lol. Which i cant wait to do. I love the way you do your videos, using your hands to express everything and talking to your scraps etc. It’s fantastic and extremely entertaining. Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful art and i cant wait to have a go x

Lace would be great over the cover paper for gusset for pretty...I think I will try a piece of 1x2 instead of the ruler when I do this...I will let you know if it works🌻
