RAG BOOKS (From Package Filler Papers & No Glue) | DinLife

12 GIFTS: • 12 GIFTS | DinLife
Details of the paper stitching part, you can watch it at the end of the video: • HAND BOOK (Detailed in...
---------
Materials: scrap papers, rough cloth
Tools: Needle, thread, scissors, pencil, sample A4 paper (Fold 2 times to have an A6)
Book size: A7 (Made from A6 size papers)
-------------------------------
This time I decided to clean up the scrap papers I had gathered. It's the paper that people put in online shopping boxes. It is softer and thicker than the normal Kraft paper.
I've tried a way to make a cover without using glue and with a grid fabric like this, you can cut in lines, without using a ruler (This fabric is a leftover fabric)
This notebook can also be replaced the inner papers, so you can use the cover over and over again.
A small gift
Thank you for waiting

May I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm a crafter for myself - I don't sell anything - and of the thousands of video I've watched, this is by far the cutest, most serene, most original and simplest I've ever seen. I will subscribe to your channel right away and now I know what my wrinkled paper was waiting for. I've got two bagfuls of an identical kind from the grocery's. Thank you again, darling.

[@Purkkification]

So beautifully put! Thank you for expressing this, I wholeheartedly agree! 💚

[@QuaeLaetitia]

@@Purkkification So Do I ! agree 500 %, I often find myself coming back to these videos, even after I've seen them many times, for calm and inspiration. ♥

[@Purkkification]

@@QuaeLaetitia Thank you so much for bringing up this beauty tonight!

[@annabellagardner3190]

I've watched these videos many times for the tutorials. But oh .. .. the sheer enjoyment, the calm, serene and gentle beauty. .. to enrich my soul.

I was transported somewhere back in time watching this My heart felt happy like a kid Thank you

[@lorrainevanlelyveld8065]

Me too. I felt so relaxed. In todays crazy world this is somehow comforting. Stay safe. Love from South Africa

[@Diamond88keyz]

I thought of Laura Ingalls.

[@Diamond88keyz]

Me too...but I probably would not have needed this notebook working in the fields 😅 sorry. Inside joke not a joke but I feel ya. I know.

[@mdmonirhossain7787]

This ragbook reminds me of my old dictionary, which I was gifted by my uncle. I used to repair the dictionary now and then because that was too old and torn. Repairing is an art but your repairing is an inspiration ❤️❤️❤️❤️... Love from Chittagong, Bangladesh 💖.

[@scheenafarmer3979]

This is what I call creative and sharing is caring, thanks for the love. 😇👍😇

[@vanikurup]

This was so amazingly beautiful to watch... My brain just went into a meditative state. Thank you for the peace and inspiration. Warm hugs from India.

[@michellepretorius9588]

How beautiful! Music was perfect too. Gives us a respite from the times we are living in! Thank you.❤

[@Diamond88keyz]

LOVED the music too!

[@mumstheword8851]

This was beautiful!! I once did a course on book-binding and loved it. I never did anything with it, tho. Would love to try this. The stitching of your sections is impeccable. We sewed shiny magazines together. Who would have thought old brown packaging could be recycled into something so beautiful and functional. Well done. I'm in awe. And thanks. 😍

[@imcibi7428]

you're inspiring us to recycle things into a precious and adorable stuff 🌻

I noticed most people are throwing this type of paper , but u made a book of it. Good job , keep it up. Hope those who are watching it get some ideas to use their free time . Thanks ☺️

[@MedaHalmaciu]

Wow! This is so beautiful and inspiring. I'm in a personal challenge of making 100 sketchbooks from stuff I already have in the studio.

[@Scorpiomary]

I always look at packing paper as free crafting paper I like to stamp it for wrapping paper to match my cards and tags. Love your project. I must try it. Thanks for sharing.

[@heymudda1]

Fabulous! I watched it twice. Loved the tutorial and especially loved the music! Stay SAFE out there and be BLESSED!

[@kanamichelle7404]

That fabric you used for the cover took me back to a childhood Christmas play because it reminded me of Joseph’s robe from our play. Such an adorable little book.

[@monicamoreira8863]

Smooth watching! Smooth music. So peaceful and clever! ❤️🙏🏻

[@9886089516]

I adore your videos. It's a class apart. So calming, beautiful and redemptive. Thank you ❤️.

[@suezee6119]

These are the most calming videos I've seen. The sense of peace stays with me long after. Thank you. 🙂

[@lorrainevanlelyveld8065]

I agree. It is so calming and one feels the peace.

[@Marialla.]

Beautiful, Din! I love this tiny book so much! This might go on my list of gifts to make as well. I still have not sewed those curtains I mentioned. (I feel bad about that... cannot figure out why I keep procrastinating on them.) But I did sew a shopping bag. It is very large and has both a shoulder strap as well as two hand-handles. I walk to the store once or twice a week, and this bag is meant to carry large but light things I may buy, such as pizza, chips, cereal, toilet paper, or a pillow. When I shop I use one or two canes to walk, and most of what I carry goes in a backpack, but my new tote will expand what I am able to carry home. Curtains are officially bumped to this week's to-do list. I hope I can do them, I would hate to report to you again that I had not succeeded. Other week's gifts on my list I want to remember to do include: weave a small basket from invasive weed plants that grow commonly around here, take and root cuttings from a local fig tree I discovered, and make three different kinds of jam - apple, strawberry, and orange. Blessings on you, dear Din! I look forward every week to seeing what you make, and sharing what I have accomplished as well.

[@ildik9772]

Wow, a shopping bag? Nice! Also, I don't think you should beat yourself up for not wanting to tackle the curtain project, maybe it just seems too scary? I hope you will do them though; I am rooting for you! Best of luck with the next projects. Seems like I may actually join too 😊 , but with a lot smaller projects, because of my lack of time. But I also want to feel like I create something weekly, even if sometimes it will be just a small drawing (that may not be considered a crafting project, but that’s a creation too)

[@DinLife]

I am happy every time I hear from you, and it is true that sometimes we need a deadline to get things done, but I hope it's for your joy no matter what. Thank you P/s: And, breaking things up to do a little bit each day is a suggestion when doing a long project, I used to sew a curtain out of large rags in the same way :D

[@Marialla.]

@@ildik9772 I would love to hear what you create each week! Even if it is a drawing, that is still something new that did not exist before, and you should be proud of it!

[@Marialla.]

@@DinLife Honestly my main hurdle is that I have little room to work in. I would prefer to lay out my fabric full length to mark it and cut it, but all I really have is a very small desk. Still, I know I can make it work if I put my mind to it. After that, my son needs me to hem/mend some more jeans of his! LOL it isn't difficult to do a little chore like that. I love giving new life to something old so it can be loved for longer.

[@ildik9772]

​@@Marialla. I am glad to get this cnfirmation that even a drawing is okay xD I may have put my expextations way too high that it got scary. But with this I feel less pressure :) I did write a comment here on the video, maybe you will be able to find it? If not, I will paste it here xD

[@ellem4music156]

Sis, you inspire me. And because of you I made my first notebook.

[@deejo2]

Very creative! That's the kind of thing people love to have passed down to them.

[@bluzshadez]

It's very satisfying to watch all your videos. I love that your Running Stitches are very even. It's like a machine did it. You are very creative and skilled. God bless you and your family! Stay safe and healthy!

[@southtexan1761]

This is the most awesomest thing I've seen. Back to basics we've lost.

I am not really a crafter, but I do enjoy making things for myself from time to time. This was so serene and enjoyable. Thank you. I just might try this. :)

[@daughterofmyabba]

What a great idea! I love how your ideas all require very little in the way of materials! A needle and thread and scraps and you make something beautiful. This has quickly become my favorite crafting channel ❤

I love how you never throw anything away...truly inspirational 🙏🏻 Beautiful result. 💕

Wonderful idea to use up that paper that comes in our deliveries and sewing scraps, simply love this

I made books like that at college. It was really enjoyable and I am pleased that this video reminded me how to rethink the use of scrap materials into something lovely. Thank you.

Looks great! First time seeing how to sew a whole book. TFS!

Gorgeous. At this time in the world, we need the simpler things. I can't believe how much of that paper I've thrown away over the years. Thanks for the inspiration. ❤️ God bless you. WFS

[@athira2266]

You are so inspiring... The things that you made from rags are just awesome and mindblowing!👍

[@sharonkeller7397]

They are wonderful! I recently got a shipment that was packed in that brown paper but threw it away. I never thought of something so special to use it for! I promise next time I will save it and make a cute notebook with it! I love tiny books so one made by my own hands would be such a treasure. Thanks for the great idea! :)

[@patriciawilliams4314]

I love the book and the cover. I have made several books so I am getting excited about trying this one. Thank you Dien.

[@loist0607]

I just found this channel and this video. I also make books from this packing paper as it seems such a waste to throw it away. This video taught me a new way to tie the signatures, add a cover and the cloth covering. My little books will improve now. Thank you for the beautiful work you do and share.

[@ladonnademarce5029]

Why would 147 people not like this??? 🙄 Thank you for making it and allowing us to view it. I loved it!❤️

This paper in 2017, from my daughter getting her tv stand mailed, got me started creating! She was trying to bunch it up and I said 'no...I want it.' Love it!

[@jessica.b7193]

wow ur so Creative❤, i really like ur technique how to make books with waste material , proud of u 🙌 learning from u

[@mar1na1993]

I love this! I’ve been making journals out of paper bag material for a few weeks now. I will definitely have to try out this stitching technique for the pages next time! My latest journal was made out of a cardboard brownie-mix box, and the pages were sewn into the spine. I then sewed an embroidered and appliqued fabric to the cover/brownie box for the decorative element. I’m very happy with it!

[@Marialla.]

It sounds like a beautiful journal! My problem is that I always think journals are too beautiful to write in/use. I tried to keep a "junk journal" once to help break myself of that habit. It was literally made of stuff out of the trash like old envelopes or random scrap paper or packaging. But then I decided after it was done that it had its own unique charm and once again thought it was just too beautiful to "ruin" by me writing in it or whatever. The only type of notebook I ever reliably use are ones that are cheap and mass produced, that I do not care about. I have a hard time thinking the type of scribbles I would write is good enough to go into a gorgeous hand made book. I hope you will not be like me, and you will never be afraid to make and use beautiful things every day.

[@mar1na1993]

@@Marialla. I have the same hang up! I have never been great at journaling and keeping it up enough to fill a whole journal. This one is 140 pages! I do feel that some days I write complete and utter nonsense... but I shall push past it! One way I was able to do this in the past was make a very small, super duper junk journal that was just big enough for me to work through a specific topic. I was able to fill the whole thing, and felt like it was productive.

[@Marialla.]

@@mar1na1993 Yes I agree it does help when there is a specific topic for one journal, and when the journal isn't too large. I once worked through a "Wreck This Journal" project, and though I didn't do all the suggestions it did open my eyes to how I really did not need to treat a journal as delicate and precious, but could instead abuse the heck out of it and trust myself to find ways to put it back together better than it had been before!

[@mellyq92]

@@Marialla. one solution to this is to make a book with easily removable/replaceable pages. If the pages are sewn in I feel like what I write in the book is permanent but if I can easily take the page out I feel like if I "ruin" the page it's only one page that can be replaced. An easy way to make a book like this is to get book rings "the kind that open and close" and punch holes in whatever paper you have. Once you have a bunch of hole punched paper open the rings and put them through the holes then close them.

[@Simplyluvly]

It's absolutely stunning! If only I watched it sooner before I threw away all my scrap papers, I wanna try making this rag books too.
