Very useful - it will save me buying a bagful of metal corners when I just need 4! LOVE the accent! Happy New Year (2024)

[@mastersadvocate]

I love this tutorial! I was at a loss to find book corner protectors , untill I saw your video! Thanks so much for this wonderful idea, Tinne! ~ Janet in Canada

[@sisfidy58]

BRILLIANT!! Love your style, and this is a great way to save money on crafting supplies. I was thinking that if you left the large triangles attached, you could overlap them for gluing to make the corner stay square. It would save a step. You could also use the tiny triangle to glue the edges (the thickness of the book edge) together. I also agree that painting before cutting would be a bit simpler -- then just ink the edges to cover the color of the paper. THANKS for sharing!!

[@cherylharris7517]

I had been watching So many tutorials on this Thank you your is the BEST. I am loving this bless you

[@maribelru2011]

You’re the best!! 💕👌🙌🏻Why not make the back flaps a little longer so they overlap and glue them together without an additional piece of paper? I will try my suggestion and see if it works!!

[@avigail5356]

Thank you so much for sharing, I think I will try this with a piece from a soda can, and try to emboss it too, but now I know how to draw it, thank you!

[@barbararuz7550]

Muchas gracias por su magistral explicación a pesar de no saber su idioma la entendí perfectamente que Dios bendiga sus manos y su mente es todo un tesoro de sabiduria

[@alyce-kayruckelshaus1224]

Geometry class pays off! This is great! I was trying to figure this out ... Thanks for coming to my rescue! They are gorgeous!!!

[@spremier9626]

WOW! Thanks Tinne! 🙏🏽 ❤

[@DutchJoan]

This makes crafting a whole lot more fun! Seeing you do this it inspires me how I can make faux metal label holders as well. My crafting world is opening up. Thank you so much!

[@erykfreethinker7147]

??? Do you have a tutorial on how to make that lovely book cover??? It is beautiful! :)

[@carriekernel2273]

You are Amazing Tinne, Your art is Stunning always ♥♥♥

[@hackrat2]

I actually bought some medal ones from amazon. I needed something to help my hard cover bible more appealing to me lol.

[@mamapillow8365]

Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial!

[@helengibson8196]

Thanks for a great video which was explained beautifully 🌷

[@eilujnager]

Thank you for the video. Great to know how to do this.

[@barbhumphreys1271]

You are a life saver! I've looked in every arts and crafts stores in my area and none have book corner protectors! I guess now I can just make my own! Thank you!

[@debbievignola8275]

Love this. Wonder what it would look like if you ran them through an embossing folder before you glued them together?

[@vectoriadesigns]

I think that would be awesome! I don't have an embossing machine, but some small pattern would give it an extra touch!

[@spremier9626]

@@vectoriadesigns If you don’t have an embossing machine you can lay your cardstock over a rubber stamp or other textured surface and press it lightly with a steam iron. Not sure if it works with paper but I’ve made flocked fabric with that technique.

[@cheryl2455]

Very cool! Thank you!

[@HeavenlyTreasures7]

I just found this tutorial Tinne and am so excited to try it! I was going to purchase some metal ones, but these look great! I have some heavier card stock in metal finishes that might work great for these. Thank you for your wonderful ideas! ❤

[@melissahancock3298]

Tysm for sharing! Can't wait to try this!

Thank you Tinne for this ingenious Tutorial. xx Manuela

[@StandUpForChildrenToday]

Such a beautiful idea. I made these with you last night. I can't believe you made me do geometry and and technical drawing that was literally my nightmare at school 😂, but through "blood and tears " I now have 4 beautiful book corners 😍💖

[@drummergirl495]

[@marcil7389]

TFS. I will try this!

[@dorothyradley9391]

Thank you for showing how to do these faux metal book corners. I have to do some as I make my own journals using old book covers and they will be great on the corners of them. xx

[@ThorneyRose]

Thank you so much. I love this idea and is going to be so much fun to add to my books and projects. I have to craft to a budget and this idea will save me money and I no longer have to wait for products to arrive in the mail to complete a project. Thank you thank you THANK you. Rosie Rosie.

[@lorrainemcwethy1830]

Tho I am late in finding this lesson I still had to reply with a thank you for your concise/precise tutorial. It is marvelous. Completed my first set of corners and am thrilled with the ability to customize each finished project. Thank you not only for your sharing but also for your exuberant spirit and joy.🤗

[@vectoriadesigns]

Thank you for your lovely feedback, Lorraine!

[@williebrown5274]

Great! Thank you!

[@BeadsBoxesAndBeyond]

You need to manufacture a thin die cut for this. Possibly duplicates on one die so you can cut 4 out at a time.

[@elizabethrios2129]

Awesome !thanks for sharing

[@AbiNomac]

Love this so professional. Bless you for sharing😊

[@lindadechow3703]

Perfect, thank you. I use the metal ones I purchased and like them, however for a custom made look and a smaller book this is ideal! Thanks for sharing your talents and I also enjoy your collage etsy shop. Had to subscribe to keep up with your genius. Thank you for the free printables!

[@ChaosWitxh]

I was thinking maybe it could be easier to paint first. like paint the opposite side of the cardstock to the template and then it would just be painted beforehand. Might be easier than painting the finished corner. Of course, you will want to distress the cut edges still so the they don't show the original color of the cardstock. Just an idea :) Great tutorial! Thanks!

[@vectoriadesigns]

Thanks for the feedback! I thought about painting it first, but by painting it afterwards I could really go into all the nooks and crannies.

[@deborahamaral8470]

Perfect!!! ❤

[@hackrat2]

Great video thank you for sharing I cant wait to make these

[@labradoodledandies4697]

Thanks! What kind of ink did you use? I'm thinking it would make a difference with Mod Podge - so it wouldn't smear.

[@vectoriadesigns]

I used a no brand ink pad that I bought once, but for some grunging I think even the cheapest one would do. And indeed, The mod podge seals it completely!

[@tamielizabethallaway2413]

She used Mod Podge... ??? Did you not watch the whole thing...? 😘

[@carolstern3647]

Brilliant!!!!👌💗

[@Jackykika44]

love it,thx
