Make invisible bookends with Jack Heath, author of THE TRUTH APP

[@cmteairlines]

11 years later I come here to learn how to make invisible bookends. Well done, sir!

[@EmmaMorgan09]

I was like “it’s not gonna work... it’s too Flimsy..” oh ... it worked! Genius!

[@JackHeathWriter]

Ha! Glad it exceeded expectations :)

[@rengstaff]

I came here after searching for "invisible bookends" to buy. Can't get more invisible than this, and I don't have to buy anything. This is really clever! THANK YOU! (Doggie so cute)

[@decalsover9000]

this guy seems like such a legend, I laughed multiple times during this video

[@JackHeathWriter]

You're too kind!

[@heidiwempen5239]

Works amazingly! Now I can turn any flat surface into a bookshelf, and believe me, I need this ability!

[@JackHeathWriter]

Hmm, sounds like I'm a bad influence

[@MB-zg1sk]

Thank you! This was super smart and quick. I spent a few mins walking around the house looking for something small and heavy to use as a bookend, but then thought to google diy options. Yours came up and in a couple of minutes my books were in perfect order! I have crafting materials so I used cardstock instead of copy paper to make a bit more sturdy. 🙏🏼

[@kolab5620]

I was just about to look up book ends online and this video got suggested. Thank you!

[@JackHeathWriter]

Glad I could help!

[@Makeitmonika]

Even less than 15 secconds into the video and I already knew I love him! His personality is amazing.

[@JackHeathWriter]

Aw, that's super nice of you :)

[@iamstoned4life]

Genius! Thank you so much. I'll use cardboard to make it indestructible.

[@JackHeathWriter]

Mind blown. To the stationary store!

[@kassava_rae]

THIS MADE ME LAUGH

[@niceleedone]

You've got to be kidding?!!! No way?!!! Subbing just because you've saved me a whole heap of green paper so I can use the white paper, I already have!!! Thank you 🤗

[@morganshofner2727]

This is the best and easiest tutorial I've ever come across! I LOVE this! For shorter paperback books I just cut the computer paper in half, then went along with the tutorial as usual. That way I don't see the paper sticking out for smaller books. Thank you for sharing this!!!

[@JackHeathWriter]

If they're short books you don't plan on reading again, you could be even lazier and just sticky tape them to each other!

[@tarekchahattou]

I strongly didn't think this was going to work, but wow it's perfect, thank you!

[@kateburgess1]

THANK YOU!! Just found this video. My uneven decorative books have been driving me nuts for years. This worked perfectly.

[@JackHeathWriter]

Haha, very happy to help

[@GDP-i9v]

Just cancelled a £12.99 order on this. Card is better but brilliant DIY hack 👏👏👏 You’re a star

[@jigokuu3851]

[@JackHeathWriter]

Why, thank you!

[@emilynguyen683]

This worked out perfectly for me, thanks so much!

[@jinbotak2069]

[@jennyzeng3832]

GENIUS! Worked perfectly for me!

[@JackHeathWriter]

Awesome! That's great news, Jenny

[@deanawilliams4409]

Brilliant. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@itsjayyie]

Amazing! I was looking up diy bookends and everything was so expensive until I came along to this although I've figured it doesn't work for fat and tall university text books oh well

[@hawhayebia]

Alpaca try using thicker paper like card stock or something maybe it'd work

[@sweetsmurfmkkv]

thank you so, so, so, so, so much!

[@JackHeathWriter]

No worries at all!

[@epacrisimp]

Thank you - so simple and yet so clever. Best of all really, really cheap!!!

[@JackHeathWriter]

I'm a bit cheap myself, hence the discovery!

[@Bobisbart]

Omg it works I’m struggling with my manga collection thank you

[@Plasros]

Works flawlessly! Thanks!

[@noziphotshabalala5018]

Trusted the process and wasn’t disappointed! Thank you ❤️

[@autumnm.1458]

Wanted bookends but can’t leave due to quarantine 😅 this is much better THANKS!

[@a11933]

YOURE AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@Patrick-jj5nh]

still a great hack 10 years later, but I found normal printer paper didnt work, but luckily i had slightly stronger card and that was perfect.

[@tinemalvarado]

You just saved me from spending!!! Never knew paper could be so handy!

[@JackHeathWriter]

Papercraft is the absolute limit of my DIY skills

[@LxRv]

Sweet idea. Also, props for the Robert Rankin!

[@JackHeathWriter]

I was so hooked on those as a teen

[@christinahossain6506]

Jazakallah so much. You helped me upcycle instead of buying it. Why waste money when you can make

[@smizit]

when i did mine i put the second piece of tape on the other side so its now triply sturdy?!🤨😂

[@JackHeathWriter]

Nice one! Good idea.

[@Izzy-ov2bp]

tried it out. worked and is awesome...even though its two yrs later...thnks! :)

[@Izzy-ov2bp]

+izzy presley oh and your dog is gorgeous hahaha

[@carabrown6515]

[@kboyd9325]

If you have trouble with books USE THIS VIDEO! Thank you!

[@khalidarebadj7490]

OMG ! This video just solved my number 1 life problem .

[@JackHeathWriter]

Oh man, I wish my problems were so easily stickytaped away!

[@eric22567]

Thanks, this really helped me out

[@JackHeathWriter]

No worries, Eric!

[@C_M_0-t1u]

This is GREAT! I have the exact same bookshelves, and I have the same problem :D

[@JackHeathWriter]

Catrine Maria Olesen Thanks! Happy to be of assistance. :)

[@metakognicija]

this is brilliant, thanks!

[@ThomasGiles]

Cool. Or you could use a regular book-end and do the same thing with the last book. Pretty good idea for a cheap book-end, though ^^

[@JackHeathWriter]

Yeah, I'm not made of money

[@GeeCeeNYC]

You are a genius!

[@codyclarke]

I learned how to do this like 8 years ago, and now I'm back learning how to do it again haha

[@borejack5679]

You're a legend dude. Can you make my wife invisible?

[@echoz3557]

thanks. now all i have to do is find some paper

[@sketchbook_worm]

use the paper from your bills

[@scottc5783]

Thank you so much!

[@Toopa88]

Way better than all these stupid solutions that cost money, look ugly and take a lot of space.

[@vinee3653]

U r a legend brother

[@wawagege683]

Genius 👍

[@_EDDE_]

👍Two of the same books. "What? I like to read in stereo." Hahaha 😂

[@StevenCroft04]

This is great!

[@SandraKomarcic]

wow! THANK YOU!!!

[@JackHeathWriter]

You're very welcome

[@RossMacdonaldBass]

This is the only advertisement I've ever willingly watched on KZbin!

[@Nancy-rk9zp]

do you have a similar idea for a DVD/blu-ray shelf? I can't do this with a DVD/blu-ray case...or can I? ideas?

[@JackHeathWriter]

I recommend doing exactly the same thing, but sticky-taping a DVD case you don't care much about to the outside to hide the paper

[@infiresbangtan7694]

IDK what but mine did not work.. the books kept falling. Maybe this works only for light books..

[@paperglueglitter1033]

Question is the such thing as non-sticky tape?😂

[@lakeside1168]

Time to see if this works for dungeons and dragons books

[@lakeside1168]

Doesn't work for dnd books, thanks though

[@tacos_are_life_and_im_tras7091]

😔I have a book shelf over my bed It almost took my eye out 😂😂

[@munchi778]

That's so cool

[@burgurs]

I need an idea for encylopedias??? Any ideas

[@BronxFinest2481]

You're fucking AWESOME! THANKS for this!

[@OzNic79]

This didn't even work why did you think it would because paper isn't strong enough to hold books

[@JackHeathWriter]

Good point. May I suggest using bricks instead? Or you could simply superglue your books to the shelf! #lifehack

[@BernaBleeker]

Cute dog!

[@rosehep3301]

It didn't work for me. I tried using some 140lb watercolor paper and duct tape for strength. This bibliophile prefers all the bindings to line up about an inch from the shelf edge. This trick only works if you push them all the way back to the wall, leaving the bindings sticking out randomly.

[@JackHeathWriter]

Rose Heptig Yeah, I'm a bit of a slob!

[@rosehep3301]

Jack Heath Aw, I wouldn't say that... Slobs wouldn't care if their books were all over the floor!

[@catpaws1913]

omg. watercolor papers are freaking ex 😂

[@brendalg4]

I wondered how this could possibly work because I used to work at a library. But we keep all of the books "faced" on the shelf like you talked about

[@teodorab4815]

legendary

[@smizit]

your dog is so cute

[@HelenBettyAnn]

Haha, Loved this!

[@JackHeathWriter]

Thanks Helen!

[@ThePopy70it]

Very cool :)

[@AlbertOcampoRules]

CLEVER.

[@JackHeathWriter]

LUCKY. It was such a fluke that I stumbled across this!

[@dealusion]

There is absolutely no way this works, what? Edit: It freaking worked

[@aidalenebocar7575]

cool this is a must try haha!

[@aztech6]

thanks man. its 2k24

[@darthbader6991]

This is fucking brilliant thank u so much

[@jmay2341]

Oh my gosh

[@mannylopez2388]

genius

[@pipersacco7726]

holy crap :o

[@trailmix1970]

kool

[@JackHeathWriter]

Tanya Tate Thanks!

[@AlexandraPreis]

Gotta love a man who gets upset about non-alphabetical bookshelving, because this is important! BUT the shelves themselves drive me crazy. Not the same length, not at the same height ... smh.

[@JackHeathWriter]

There's another shelf just out of frame on the right which is the same length and height as the one on the left - meaning that the two outer shelves operate as bookends for the inner shelf. Trust me, I've got it all figured out. ;) (Although, I did put them up before I figured out that you could just use paper.)

[@AlexandraPreis]

Jack Heath That actually eases my worry about the different heights! :D

[@tracep.9900]

Or you can not be cheap, and get decorative bookends, that look good, or use the "Floating bookshelf" if you want the minimalist look.

[@JackHeathWriter]

Quinn Roux Unfortunately "not cheap" isn't an option for most writers. But we do love paper!

[@andreevanguilder1734]

I made it myself thanks to woodprix website.

[@xiaoleiyue9355]

smart！

[@HeroDiablo]

i fucking love you

[@JackHeathWriter]

Thank you, you're too kind!

[@hollyway540]

Most kiwi video ever recorded

[@FOBmariach]

[@lipasketch]

Now this is a hack!
