[@Diane-si5ck]

I was so excited when I saw a video from you! I have been too afraid to try an altered book yet, but this gives me the courage to go try. Your videos are so helpful and make everything look so easy! Thanks for sharing your process.

[@LilianGuerrero]

Thank you so much for sharing. I have purchased several old Golden books & want to make junk journals. I just didn't know how to remove the pages. I like keeping the story intact. I enjoy the way you explain everything clearly where it's easy to understand. So. Thank you again@ you have a new subscriber!

Thank you so much!

[@cre8tvlyyrsgmarie243]

I am so glad I found you...been watching your videos for about a year or two and I followed the way you make your Golden Books. I actually started making these for all my neices for Christmas. I did alter a bit as I don't sew mine they are held together with the rings. Thank you for sharing! :) Gina

[@LilianGuerrero]

You are so welcome! I love that you created some in your own style, that is awesome. :)

[@sandispaulding]

Im so happy that you are revising your Little Golden book. I learned alot from You . TYVM

[@LilianGuerrero]

You are so welcome!

[@idavera55]

Thank you so much for explaining your process on these golden books. Oh, I think you were going to mention how or what you do to the names that are written inside the books, how do you get rid of that? Love to watch your videos, look forward to watching what is next. :)

[@LilianGuerrero]

Thank you so much and Yes, I did point out the handwritten name in one of the books. I didn't get a chance to mention it however, I like to leave those hand written names intact. It is part of the books story and it adds a sense of nostalgia. Thank you for pointing that out. :)

[@ninfalamb6197]

I hope to try this. Junk journaling is something I have done yet! Your video is great and inspiring!

[@LilianGuerrero]

Thank you!

[@shabbykat273]

Excellent video tutorial. Thanks! ♥

[@LilianGuerrero]

Thank you!

[@joyuslion656]

Great tutorial! I followed your directions but the books don’t stay closed. Do you have tips on how to get it to close???? And stay closed? Thank you! Can’t wait for more! 🌷🌷🌷

[@LilianGuerrero]

Thank you for watching and following along. Make sure you gently score the inside creases of the spine. All three I created are staying closed. You can also tie a ribbon around to train it closed. I hope that helps.

[@joyuslion656]

Thank you for your reply!!!! I saw one lady put a clothes pin on it and now they stay closed!!!! Are you going to make a new video? I know you’re busy! I love your videos best! ❤

[@rcec1995]

I can't find the video of you putting the book together. 😟

[@LilianGuerrero]

Thank you for being here. Here is one where I show how I add signatures Easy Signature Binding - Follow My Process - Little Golden Book Junk Journals kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2Ssi4GVraeFobM I’ve many flip through videos and other types of processes on my channel. 🫶

[@janetphelps6879]

I watched the old video too. How do you reattach the pages?

[@LilianGuerrero]

Thank you for watching. Here is the latest video on signature binding in a Little Golden Book. Hope you find it helpful. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2Ssi4GVraeFobM

[@janetphelps6879]

@LilianGuerrero TY an older video did pop up after I asked. I was wondering how you fit the pages inside since they would stick out. Trim them, of course! Your work is amazing as are the videos. So glad your channel popped up.

[@LilianGuerrero]

@@janetphelps6879 Thank you so much! 😊😊😊

[@sharonsailer4084]

When I have seen to a book I’m like I just can’t! But once you get bitten by the repurposed Little Golden Book bug you’re hooked! I was at a Goodwill looking for a little golden books and there was a book that a grandma wrote a nice little paragraph in it to her granddaughter. It was just a regular book. I had to buy it because my heart hurt knowing that that grandma took the time I got that book. I’m working on one for my son that turns 40 this year it’s a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Golden book and the Turtles turn 40 also this year. He’s been to a couple comic cons and got pictures with the voice actors, and got some of his turtles signed.

[@LilianGuerrero]

How cool will that be for him! I love it!

[@Maris-t2n]

I.ise my blow dryer and remove the golden. Straps to remove the staples. Then I reapply them.back.

[@LilianGuerrero]

That's a great tip. TFS :)

[@sandratheprocraftinator945]

1:52 the spine 8:48 why not use wire cutters to cut the staples and just pull up on the pages/signatures

[@LilianGuerrero]

I gave both options for staples...use wire cutters or flatten. Up to you. There's multiple ways of doing things and I showed two separate way.
