Magazine Harvest #11 || Nat Geo Edition

[@pdcarter4598]

This makes me miss that magazine. Growing up I would sit and read it all very slowly. The best photos also. I hope you find a way around the smell and feel. TFS

[@relaxcutglue]

I agree, I have fond memories of this magazine as a child as well. The pictures are always amazing! Thank you for watching🥰

[@juliaanderson2667]

Hi Nicole, glad you survived your first Nat Geo harvest without loosing any fingers!!! You could use the little knife blade to cut the pages out to get a straight edge. Love your videos.Thanks for sharing!

[@relaxcutglue]

I think that’s the way to go Julia! I do that a lot when I tear books apart. Thank you for the suggestion and for watching🥰

[@brodiehampel1715]

Hi Nicole I just wanted to say I absolute love ur videos especially your magazine harvest vids!! they are so relaxing and therapeutic plz never stop making them much love from a subscriber in Australia 🇦🇺 ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@relaxcutglue]

I’ve gotten a handful of vintage National geos from my library when they were still open. They are the best to go they. The ads everything. You really scored finding so many!!

[@relaxcutglue]

I love all the old images! Especially the ads, that’s the best part. If only they didn’t have that vintage smell. Bleh! But I’ll suffer through it lol! Thank you for watching!🥰

[@helensalo9810]

Nichole, the boxes you have the mags stored in, put some newspapers, and or damp rid packs (you can get a bag of them from amazon for cheap) then make sure you close the box and it does help some to absorb the smell/ any dampness of them. I had gotten (a few years back) some old Life magazines and this helped with the smell. Just thought I’d pass it along cause I know it can be annoying. 😉😊

[@crafterdeidra]

That would suck if you're really allergic to the dusty smell from those magazines. You got some amazing images for your glue book. Great magazine harvest session as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@kathypallaria1435]

Hi Nicole. I always look forward to your videos. You could do a glue book with items we don't use or have anymore harvested from the old nat geo magazines like the typewriter etc. Thanks for taking the time to share.

[@relaxcutglue]

That’s a great idea! I might just have to do that🥰 Thanks for watching!

[@cherbowman]

You scored!! 👍🏼Every image had my mind whirling with ideas for glue books, creative journaling, etc!! This will be fun to watch!🥰

[@relaxcutglue]

Mine too! I was kind of on idea overload🤪 So many ideas, so little time!

[@ChattylaineCreates]

OMG love that koala, great images, can't wait to see what your new project is you have planned. These are a brilliant find... I find when I'm ripping out old books I think it's the dust the paper gives off while you tear it, it irritates my hands.... If I cut out it doesn't do it so much... Well 1981 turn the 81 around and that was my age then!!! Eeeek!! 🤣🤣😜😜

[@relaxcutglue]

I think I will start cutting the pages out with my exacto knife...the smell is so gross. I wish I liked the smell of old books but I just don’t. Thank you for watching Elaine🥰🥰🥰

[@ChattylaineCreates]

@@relaxcutglue Nope not so keen on the smell either... I don't blame you for using a knife, have a lovely week xx ❤️❤️

[@LovelyMalia]

You can take those staples out. Use pliers, open up the end pieces so they are standing straight up and hammer them out

[@relaxcutglue]

These were in there like nothing I’ve ever seen before! I cut out the part of the video where I took the mags out to the garage and attempted to get them out. I’m just going to slice the pages out with my blade next time.

[@rosemaryhoydocumentaries]

You need a heavy duty set of pliers. I used to remove them….the staples I mean. Good luck!

[@rosemaryhoydocumentaries]

I mean’t heavy duty screwdriver! Sorry Nicole.

[@wendyhoward2699]

You need a staple puller. Take it from a former teacher. I don’t know what I would have done without it. Many blessings.

[@Cheshirecat-nx9zn]

So jealous of your NG haul.

[@ruthhickman1029]

I usually use a screwdriver to remove those difficult staples. Real pain though!

[@relaxcutglue]

Those staples were stuck in there like nothing I’ve ever seen before! I’m just going to slice out the pages with my blade next time.

[@colleenreilly7279]

I've actually never looked through a national geographic magazine. Shocking I know lol. You got some great images there!xx

[@relaxcutglue]

No way! You must, they are so fascinating and the pictures are amazing!

[@kippytx]

That bird at the beginning on the second magazine. Looks like an old movie. Howard the Duck. It got terrible reviews but my late husband loved it. So stupid it is funny.

[@nicky_stevenson]

Ooh, I was on tenderhooks watching you trying to take those staples out. I have a gizmo called (strangely enough! 😄) a staple remover and it works a treat. Try Amazon or a stationery shop. Alternatively try a screwdriver. I'd like to see you try the Citrasolve, I'm interested in the effect.

[@relaxcutglue]

The staples are like no other that I’ve seen before! I think I will just slice the pages out with my exacto knife instead. CitraSolv is on order, amd I can’t wait to try it! I’ve always wanted to do that 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@helensalo9810]

The more you think or dwell on being allergic to the magazines the worse it will get. Take it from a pro!😂😂

[@theconcretebutterfly9747]

The Alaska image you tore out reminded me of the Village People. LOL I have been taking out Camera's too out of my NG's. How did I miss the BOOBIE?? Sheesh. LOL lots of fun images!

[@relaxcutglue]

So many fun images, it dang those mags stink! I hate the vintage smell🤢 Thanks for watching friend!🥰

[@helensalo9810]

My mind just kicked up from caffeine,😂 they’re called “moisture absorption” packs. They’re like those pAcks one finds in purses etc. when you buy new. I would stick them between each issue, and maybe some pages. , don’t be stingy, by absorbing the slight dampness (whether you notice it or not, it’s there) the smell leaves. Good luck I HATE musty old smell, too and have actually abandoned some cool books/magazines based on the smell.

[@helensalo9810]

Exactly real close to fold then take out.

[@helensalo9810]

This should have said “exacto knife” real close to gold then take out. (Damn fat fingers haven’t been cooperating for shit lately😂)

[@Paperlover123]

I just got an idea. It could maybe work. What if we just take a craft knife, slice the spine off of the nasty smelling magazines, then throw just the pages in the dryer with a lovely scented dryer sheet, on the cool setting. Let them tumble in there a while. Now I have to try it!!!!! 🌼

[@relaxcutglue]

Let me know what you think....I just don't want my clothes to smell like nasty book pages hahahaha!

[@Paperlover123]

@@relaxcutglue oh gosh...thats true...maybe i need to retink this!🤣😂

[@pixelpioneer_3011]

The woman with the telephone is crying out for a funny face makeover!

[@relaxcutglue]

Yes she is! My mind was racing with all the images lol! Thanks for watching Claire!🥰

[@joannicabritannica4726]

My favorite bit? 'Boobie!' Guess there had to be at least one in NG? LOL

[@relaxcutglue]

I was surprised there was only one! And it was on a statue, of a human lol!

[@TerryJ950]

Dr.Nicole, you’re wanted in surgery to put a new nose on that broken statue. I’m allergic to old books and magazines. When I worked in the library, we got a ton of donations including lots of old books and magazines which I sadly couldn’t handle.

[@relaxcutglue]

The smell is so gross! And I feel the need to wash my hands constantly...it grosses me out! That’s a bummer that you’re so allergic, but at least you got to avoid the smell lol! 🥰

[@lisarichards901]

Please let us know if you have a method to get rid of old magazine/book smell. I’ve tried it all and nothing works. Even used some in a glue book, and now it smells. Ugh.

[@relaxcutglue]

Lisa that smell is the worst! I hate it! I feel the need to constantly wash my hands too😭 We’ll have to brainstorm a way to get rid of that smell!

[@helensalo9810]

See all my answers after others posts. You have to mAke sure they are put in a box you can close, or bags you can ties shut I. e. Garbage bags.oh ya, it won’t happen or night it does take time but with the stash you have you can eliminate a lot of smell before you get to them.

[@lisarichards901]

helen Salo they were in a large under bed type box for the charcoal and vinegar and baking soda. I bet I worked on those mags for 6 weeks then gave up.

[@helensalo9810]

Lisa Richards wow! They must of been REAL musty. I would have tossed also.

[@emom46]

Did anyone else see the lady with the phone and immediately think, one ringy-dingy, two ringy-dingy.

[@MsLeefisher]

Should keep you busy for a little while :)

[@helensalo9810]

I know what your thought was but you never finished it. It wAs about citrasolving pages.

[@relaxcutglue]

YESSSS! You know me so well! I can’t wait!

[@gagatoots807]

Boobie 😆😆😆 hope we see you harvest the other 118

[@theconcretebutterfly9747]

Right??

[@helensalo9810]

Use a screwdriver but I’m sure the video taping is done now so...stupid me. 😂
