Part 1, Little Golden book tutorial, making the book spine.

[@kateryneart]

Great video. You can use a heat tool to remove the foil and then it’s easy to remove the staples and the foil is intact.

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Hi Kateryne! Thanks for stopping by! Yes, I have since this video saw that. It is a good idea.👌

[@bettylongshore9594]

Pam, this is an EXCELLENT tutorial!!!!! I do mine in a similar way, however, I think I'm going to adopt the use of the little strips to cover the original hinge! Brilliant idea!

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Thanks, Betty! I am new at tutorials, so I appreciate your kind words!😊💕

[@porchswingdesignsmarilou7323]

I've yet to make my first LGB journal but I was gifted with a couple of them so I will be. ;) Thank you for sharing this tutorial and for showing us your method of creating them, Pam! xo

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Hi, Marilou! Thanks for subbing to my channel!💕 I plan on making a new video of these. It will basically be the same, but maybe with a few new tips and tricks! This was made guite some time ago, so I've been wanting to make a newer tutorial. 😊👍

[@debbiedockery3392]

Great tutorial..... I've got one to do that I've been putting off. This has inspired me to get started on it.

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Thank you, Debbie! I am so happy that this inspired you.😊💕

This tutorial is great. I purchased a golden book junk journal kit I have been wanting to create. Crafty Mermaid Mom sent me over. TYFS, I am off to part 2:)

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Welcome to my channel, Ilene!💗 Thank you! I subscribed to you, too!

Oh, Thank you, Jamie! Glad you enjoyed the tutorial. 😊💖

[@tkidd1973]

I know I'm a little late to the game, but your first tutorial was awesome! I've watched countless tutorials and I was actually able to follow yours through and easily understand on my first go at it. Thank you so much for sharing! 😁 Liked, subscribed, Bell engaged lol

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Thanks so much! I am so happy you were able to follow along! Thanks for subbing to my channel!❤

[@maramakesjournals2319]

I like your method very much. I don't like the back cover of a Golden Book so I'm looking for an idea that would allow me to cover the back cover. I think your method would allow that. Been wracking my brain, so thanks! AND ... your video is excellent.

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Hi, Mara! Glad you were inspired by my tutorial! I appreciate your feedback! I😄💗

[@kessell637]

I would never have known this was your first tutorial! You explained it well. (Side note: the glare from the light made it hard to read the measurements, maybe because they were written in pencil?)

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Hi, Jan! Glad you enjoyed the video!😊💕

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I ran across a fairly old LGB that only had one signature. It’s the only one I’ve ever seen like that.

[@Solaeandcraft]

Love this tutorial 💕

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Thank you! I hope it inspires you!😊

[@lisabalzrette1836]

Don't give away all your secrets!! Lol, really awesome tutorial

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Thanks, Lisa! 😂 Just trying to spread the love!

[@sandratheprocraftinator945]

Lisa shhhh, I need the secrets lol. 🤗

[@millana6292]

Pam, could you please tell me what a tie back is? Thank you.

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

It is tyvek. It is a strong mailing type envelope that doesn't tear. You can use a different strong material if you can't find it. I bought it online, ir if you get a mailer in the mail or post office you can use that.

[@westflerchinger]

You show the foil edge saved in the beginning which I love, but then in the demo you rip the foil edge off! Can you show us how to do it saving the foil edge?

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Hi there! I remove the foil to get to the staples to remove them. I don't know how you would keep the foil on and make a new spine.

[@midgesmountaincrafts573]

Thank you for showing this wow!! 😊 You teach good thank you.

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Thanks, Midge! It was my first tutorial, so thanks for the feedback. 😊

[@redparrot53]

Thank you so very much this was perfect, I have SO been looking for this...I hate folding pages! New subbie here!!

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Thats wonderful! I am so happy that you found this video helpful!😊💗

[@ingridarlington5745]

Awesome. Subscribed😀

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Thanks so much!😊💙

[@christine5653]

Hello, Are you gluing in the creases (were the book bends) to? Thank you for the videos very helpful

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Yes, I believe so. I do have another method, too. You can check out my latest tutorials, too. A few different ways to make these.🥰

[@myhoneyscrafts127]

New subbie. For the spine, is that lightweight or medium weight chipboard??? I like the way you did the spine. You did great on your tutorial. I am going to do my first LGB soon.

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Welcome to my channel, Debra! Thank you.😊 I would use medium chipboard on the spine. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Good luck on your LG book journal. 💕

[@janetchun4476]

What is the tool that you used to smooth the fabric?

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Hi, Janet!😊 I think you are asking about the bone folder tool. Tfw!

[@KeepingitRealwiththeMillers]

Thank you for this tutorial. What is the different types of material you use for the large strip and the four small strips?

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Hi! Thanks for subbing. I subscribed to your channel. ❤ Do you mean the cardboard strips and the spine? If so, I just used cereal boxes cut to size for the 4 small strips. And, I bought chipboard for the spine, or you could use 2 thick cardboard pieces glued together. I hope that makes sense. 😃👍

[@KeepingitRealwiththeMillers]

Pam VanEe /Pam's Paper Place yes that you so much for the advice and for subscribing to my channel. I loved how you did your video so easy to follow.

[@KeepingitRealwiththeMillers]

Pam VanEe /Pam's Paper Place what beside cereal boxes would work? Wondering if card stock would work for the small pieces?

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

@@KeepingitRealwiththeMillers You could try that, you just want it to be sturdy. Any other packaging boxes would work, too.

[@jeffthejournaler4894]

Where do u get the tydeck from??I never heard of that before that's new to me! Could i use like duck tape or something else to blunt them together?just wondering im not gonna make it im just wondering!Have a nice day and stay safe!😷😷😇😍😎

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Tyvek is a strong package mailer. You can also buy it online. Tfw!🥰

[@CraftingandRelaxing]

Oh, my, you make tutorials look so easy! Mine are a nightmare and I usually trash them because I forget to record a main part. This is so great!! 💙👍 came from Crafty Mermaid Mom.

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Thank you! Welcome to my channel!👋😃💗 Don't give up. It takes some practice.🙃

[@janetchun4476]

Hi Pam, I noticed in the opening, using We Like Kindergarten, you kept the gold foil. In A Child’s Garden of Verses, you tore off the foil and reinforced those areas with a thin strip of chipboard. Did you not reinforce We Like Kindergarten in order to keep the gold trim exposed?

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Hi, Janet! I usually reinforce with strips and remove the foil.

[@rdauld]

How did you do the first book that still has the gold edges ? That was what I watched for ☹️

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Hi! I will make another video showing both ways. Maybe I can do one this Friday. Hope it helps.🥰

[@sandratheprocraftinator945]

Hey Pam , Dolly just did a book and left links, I would love to try this and I truly hope I can. I have to back all my goodies so I'll be back in July . How easy was that part lol. I met you through the Dolly before but I wish I would seen this video before. Super Kool 👍 OH my I want to make one, but I can't lol , I have to finish packing my goodies.

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Hi, Sandra! I am glad you are inspired by my video. I hope you will be able to make one sometime. 😃👍💗

[@sandratheprocraftinator945]

Pam VanEe /Pam's Paper Place yes hopefully one day, at the moment I'm still away from my home. I can't wait to t to get back and organize and start making something! Have a great Tuesday!

[@pathenley5469]

which envelope do you use I know they have the freebie supplies but which envelope do you use? thanks

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Hi, Pat! The envelope is tyvek. If you have an envelope like that it will add strength. Tfw! If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.😊

[@pathenley5469]

these envelopes are they the freebie supplies from PO?

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

@@pathenley5469 I know you can find them at the Post office, and you can order them online. It will say tyvek on them.

[@captivebygones2778]

I've made 2 LGB basically the same way but it takes me about half a day to just do this first part. 😑

[@PamVanEeJournalMaker]

Hi! I have made quite a few LGB, but, not this newer way with the spine. I think it just takes a lot of practice to do it quicker.🤔tfw!!💕

[@noteworthynostalgic2060]

Love this way of keeping the same length of Little Golden Books! I love LGB and journals! I just subscribed and hope you stop by channel and become a new sub or friend and leave me some feedback. (I’m pretty new!) Have a great day! 😀
