How to Prepare a Book for an Art Journal | Bonus: How to Break a Blank Page 🦋 Shanouki Art 🦋

[@elizcott]

Finally, a video on preparing a book for art journaling that doesn't require an hour of my time. Precise and helpful--and lovely. Thank you.

[@cariadcrafts]

Love this so much. I'm about to start my Art Journal 🥰

[@DeshArt]

I've done this too. ❤ typically i would choose a book that already has artwork and keep those as part of the journal too. This project was fun to watch thanks for sharing

[@pauladyer9845]

I haven’t begun doing this yet…but you have inspired me to give it a go…I love to “play” with it all..I am almost 80 and have just got into card making with dies, stencils, etc…enjoy it so much..thanks

[@ShanoukiArt]

Happy creating ❤️

[@maxinerolka6590]

Thank you so much 😊

[@LibbyRal]

Great tutorial. I just found some old books and didn't have a clue how to transform them into a journal. I want to share a fantastic glue I've found for thin papers, or any paper, really. - Elmers No-Wrinkle dual tip glue pen.The thin and wide tips work well for a variety of projects, and it's 'washable', so I can remove what sneaks out past the edges. Depending on the circumstance, I use a brayer, instead of a bone folder, to smooth out whatever I've glued. It's gentle enough for delicate paper. Thank you so much for your vlogs. I just found your channel and am binge watching 😳

[@ShanoukiArt]

Thank you so much for the the glue tip 😊

[@sheilabartlett6044]

I absolutely love your page, of course I love all your talent and art! Thanks so much for sharing!
