I really enjoyed that tutorial. It never occurred to me to cut the wide part of the box spine- and I love that!!!! Thanks so much!

[@wendyhoward2699]

I love this, Nicole. You explained it so well. Many blessings.

[@relaxcutglue]

Thank you! You too!

Just read all the comments it’s unanimous we all love your tutorials and loved your little fold over tip, simple ,but never thought to crease it with the tool to make crisp etc. 👏🏻

[@lynnbeard2450]

Normally, I don't prefer abstract art but I absolutely LOVE all the papers you used on this and how they came together! I look forward to watching for this little book in your future videos! Thanks for sharing your time and talents with us. Hugs from Texas.

My brain amuses me sometimes. When you said "in every box", my brain instantly went, "in every box there is an element of fun. You find the fun and *SNAP* you have journal cover". :)

[@bettymetz3746]

Thanks Nichole for not being afraid to add every little tip that will help us newbies become good journal makers. I have been making journals now for over a year but not able to contribute lots of time so I still feel so new!! Have a great weekend and blessings to you from Betty in Ohio.

Thank you very much, my dear!!! 🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️🌺🌺🌺

[@crafterdeidra]

Great tutorial Nicole for the newbie journal makers/glue bookers! You're a great teacher. The cover turned out pretty. Can't wait to see you work in this book. Great video as always.

[@BronwenBudgets]

Beautiful cover and very well explained with lots of tips! Love that you score the edges before folding over to get it crisp. I like your neat, precise way of crafting.

[@odettepeters7493]

Thanks Nicole I've been saving boxes and the spine tip was great!

[@donnahughes2472]

Lovely cover, and really good explanation and step-by-step. Thanks Nicole!

[@cseedbead8180]

I agree with Cheryl. It's refreshing for you to not rush thru the basics. I haven't made one yet because I can not figure out the size I want. 9" x 6" is to big for me. Scoring your fold-over is a great trick. This was fun watching. T.Y. 👏👏👏

[@jacintasimpson1719]

Thank you for sharing all your tips, especially the spine making tips. You are awesome.

[@SaltLifeGypsy68]

Mac & cheese boxes make cute lil covers, even soap boxes, I've got a tiny one from a hotel. 😍 Great tip about making the spine smaller! 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@lindaheeren3908]

I am anxious to start my junk journal with A corn flake box.

[@helensalo9810]

Thanks😊 I gleaned some tips. ie folding and creasing before gluing those wrap pieces. Much cleaner crisper etc. I love when people spend the time for teaching us details so we can decide what to use from it, etc.

[@lisabug606]

Get out of my had! I literally pulled out a cracker box I’ve been saving just for this purpose!!! Your timing is PERFECT!!!

[@carolclmcm1214]

I’ve made 3 books so far but I want to get better with how to cover the box. Your video is exactly what I needed. Saved for later referral. Yay!

[@robinwebb2160]

Great job! Thanks for the tutorial 😀 Love the papers you used. It's going to make a beautiful book 😍

[@katsierra4476]

Great idea on the spine, sturdy

[@freddielewis4600]

WoW!!! The best tutorial I have seen; especially for a Newbie, like me!! Great explanation!! Thanx soo much Nicole!! I can’t wait to try this! You’re the Best!!😀😀

[@vivianbennett2701]

This was an AWESOME tutorial! Thank you!

[@Ashley.Loving]

Thank you so much Nicole!! 🤗 I truly appreciate this video! I’m off to try my hand at making one now. 🤞🏻

[@spacey_gracie]

Can you make a video of a bunch of flip throughs.. You have made so many little projects and Id love to see finished products.. 😍😍😍

[@shari6110]

You're awesome. Thank you for this tutorial. 😘

[@caroltanzi29]

Nicole: I just love it when a box is used for a journal cover. Love recycling! Love your cover. It’s going to be a good looking journal. Carol from California

[@renegarofalo1569]

[@LoveIsInTheHouse]

[@TheJournalCottage]

So easy!! I always had to cut down my pages .. and you have explained this so well

[@littlesistercheryliscrafti9099]

Thank you!🙋Very Helpful☺️

[@leerowley70]

Great tutorial! This part has always stumped me but now it makes sense! I may actually make one of these! Thank you so much!!

[@TheJournalCottage]

Definitely a great tutorial! Thank you for sharing 💜

[@janicehoughtelling5137]

Oh so that's where my cheez it went. Lol I bought a box but my husband put them in the wrong cupboard so l had to look for them

[@michelles9117]

Great tutorial. TFS ♥️ I know from experience, that the top of the signature and the top of your cover, punched holes really must line up. 🤦‍♀️

[@rgporter1957]

We are on the same page, Sister! I was wondering why you don't put your inlays down first and then glue down the binding piece over their inside edges? Just don't like that look or do you feel there is a structural difference doing it your way? I've done it both ways and haven't noticed anything other than visual. Just wondering. No big. This cover looks really nice!

[@danielerichard3619]

Love it. How many pages in each signature. Thank you so much. 💓

[@rennieneasey-oconnell6064]

I love this, but I really like my stitching to not show! Any ideas for this?

[@relaxcutglue]

Yes I do! The middle piece of paper that I added over the spine on the inside, use cardstock instead and sew your signatures into that, and then glue it onto the book. Then add your inside panel pieces over that. I hope that makes sense! If it doesn’t please let me know❤️

[@bettymetz3746]

I forgot…..can you tell me what a “smash book” is? 🙂

[@donnafayeharris7170]

It’s sorta like a glue book but you just put anything in it like receipts or anything you collect through out the day or stuff you might already have. Maybe stuff you would generally throw away. There so many things you could use. I won’t name them all. But when you start towards the trash can stop and think does this item have a memory tied to it? Hope this helps!
