[@rosehavenfarm2969]

I get a kick out of the library card holder on the front section that says "condemned."

[@lindahazel5075]

Hope your week is filled with sunshine!

I learn so much from your tutorials. They’re very tutorial-y in a very nice way. 🐁

Thanks.. I'm learning so much from you.. have a great weekend

[@lorigully596]

I could watch you for hours. You're hilarious and a truly gifted artist. More videos! More!

[@LedgerAndLace]

There need to be a parody song a la The Pretenders: "I got mouse, in pocket. I got cheese, I'm gonna eat it . . . ." ;-) I just answered someone's question about what you can use a lapbook for, which might be a good Q&A question. Thanks for the reminder that hot glue is good for something besides wax seals. Ha!

[@AbiNomac]

I love how you alternate between inches and millimetres. It helps everyone with their preferred measurements.

[@NorthlightsStudio]

Looking good Nik! 😊

[@margavanderwel1485]

Well thank you mrs Nik, as you know I love you and all you do, this was very well explained and I am going to do that now. I love how the journal insert looks, I tried to copy it and it is looking okay. Pity you are not my mom, cause you have amazing skills 🤩 be safe xXx

[@beejayoung1546]

Love watching you create these books Nik. Thanks.

[@deborahbaughman1366]

R u going to do more mysteries? I love watching you build books but really enjoy the mysteries. ♥️♥️♥️

[@joylynnburkhardt3202]

Love how this is coming along!! You are so much fun to watch Nik .. your humor is a hoot!!

[@AgedandEclectic]

Hey Nik!

[@margaritagerman]

I love, love, love your lap book projects! I have decided that I will watch all the way to the end, gathering supplies as you demo. Once you are finished, I will rewatch while building mine. I was just getting overwhelmed, so figured knowing where I was going might help. If not, I will still plug on. I have had good success following your projects in the past. Mine are kinda similar - ish .

[@lindafowlerjohnston]

Never thought to use hot glue in my books. Good idea 💡. Cheers

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

great vid! saved it!🦌💌❤️📕📚

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

Definitely a video I will be coming back to as I start attempting a lapbook. You are amazing! 🤗❤️ Tamara

[@PinkPanthress]

Love it! This is my huzur giving video of the night. 💕

[@etgdesignstudio]

I just DIED laughing. I live with my cousin and she says "we" all the time and I ask her if she has a mouse in her pocket... 🤣

[@annaengberg]

Say Hi to 'The mouse in my pocket' from me! :D I'm happy I didn't just take a sip of tea when you said that... I'd be having tea all over me and more... :D I so want to make a lap book! But, then there's this little voice in my head saying: *Well, you could, but what're you going to use it for??'. I'm still trying t say to the voice that I'm going to make one just because! But... the voice is so far winning. Yours is sooo awesome!!! I love it! And, I'm going to make part of the notebook I'm making (for a new start in my life - you need a new notebook then! ) as this yumminess you've just made. I mean, a small signature with pockets and folds and a clear pocket and file folder thingies... that's awesome! I might get business cards and information that need a pocket (or more). I love your videos Nik. Thank you for letting us hang out with you. :)

[@LedgerAndLace]

Sooooo many things you could use it for! I just saw a video from someone who's following along, Jennie Atkinson, who made a lapbook ephemera holder. You could also make one for holding envelopes, stamps, address labels, etc. Or one for setting goals, or one for collecting favourite quotes. Lots of possibilities! So, don't listen to that voice. It kills creativity. You could make a lapbook JUST BECAUSE: it's fun, it's pretty, it looks good on a shelf, it's art, and you like it. No Lapbook Police will be banging on your door. Not everything has to be useful. AND what if creating a lapbook is the beginning of sparking creativity for something else? Or not. Either way, you'll have something that was fun to do!

[@sandikalin636]

Great video, as always. We should name our mice. Lol.

[@fyrtalker]

I have a tool called A Third Hand sewing tool (Amazon) that would help in getting those knots tight.

[@alisavogt2892]

OMG, just a little bit ago I made the “mouse in the pocket” comment to my grandson! 😂❤ Love how this project is coming together.

[@iknownothing-49]

I saw someone making cardboard furniture putting lines and dots of hot glue, alternating with pva glue. The hot glue dried fast and held everything in place.

[@londawhitt6841]

👍👋😊

[@wonderwonder30]

Have you received your plaque yet from KZbin?

[@jatzygirl3120]

Hi, Nik, I hope you don't mind me asking. I have recently gotten vintage papers. Some of which are frail. I don't like hodge podge and the feel of it. I would like to use the papers. I could frame the frail pages but I did buy these to use. Thanks for your help 👍

[@wordscrafter]

I never would have thought of using hot glue. So it's the low temp that pops off?

[@olenkaolenka5935]

Дякую вам за такий детальний майстер-клас! Маю запитання: чи обов'язково приклеювати блок до спинки (там, де ви використали гарячий клей)? Чи можна приклеїти тканину тільки з боків?

[@fyrtalker]

What is the purpose of the “headbands”?

[@lightbulbnirvana]

Yeah, so,,, what's the name of that mouse in your pocket??? Might it be a royal wee mouse???

[@GrungeNGothicDesigns]

What would you consider low temp? Fabrifix/3in1/Fabritac??

[@JeansMc100]

Your hot glue gun can be either high temp or low temp, my cheaper crafting glue gun is low temp, looks like it’s time for me to upgrade to high temp and cut down some drying time!? 🤩 I just need to keep my fingers out of it😅 Such an awesome project Nik!!🎉
