You are awesome! As an AVID Book reader and retired English teacher, I love seeing old books being repurposed instead of being trashed or burned. These author's words have been saved digitally for a life time, and now can have another life with someone who may not have read their words. Just a bit of text can inspire someone to search for the full text and read it! Love your channel and your incredible creativity!

People need to understand, books that are sold at library sales or charity shops or give-aways have been given death sentence. If they are not rescued and up cycled they are not granted a second life! I love up-cycling old books and making something beautiful for others to enjoy!

I cannot agree more❣️Natasha (please tell me I've spelled your name correctly-I will double check asap!) has inspired me to create an altered book of pockets as a memory of a friendship since 1985....my Frankie has pancreatic cancer. He and I will howl with laughter and cry some sentimental tears flipping through our lifetime of fun and love 😊

@TwistedArtdesigns 3 года назад

I don’t understand people getting upset about repurposing an old book for a journal. It is being used and useful in a beautiful manner. A pocket book like this is a wonderful gift! People read books online and on tablets these days, so old books are not being read as much. Repurpose! Thanks for sharing your lovely project! 🌸

@BonesAndButtons 3 года назад

Oh, I understand why! As someone who writes, every time I rip apart a book for reuse my heart breaks for the author! I know how they have poured their soul into their work. Every time start a new book I say a silent “I’m sorry” to the author! (BTW, Rumer Godden is a lovely writer. I’ve enjoyed her work over the years.)

@TwistedArtdesigns 3 года назад

@@BonesAndButtons but that book can be read online, on an iPhone, on an iPad, on a tablet. So the printed books are getting thrown away. I am just saying that I find it beautiful to make something pretty and reusable out of an old book versus having it end up in the dump. The written word is beautiful. Not disputing that. I agree.

@susanjacquier5358 3 года назад

I have to agree...I worked for a charity shop, and the number of books that were disposed of was so sad. Yes..there are readers of books left in the world, but to re-purpose 'unloved' books is wonderful. Imagine an 'out of date' book filled with beautiful goodies?...eg, ..a gardening book where you can put seed packets in the pockets = yes please :)

In my "not worth anything"opinion, I think giving a new purpose to a book that is going to be destroyed is such a beautiful thing. One is bringing joy, beauty, and happiness to someone by doing that. Not to mention making the book happy!😇 How tragic a book was never read! It must have felt so,so sad. Then Natasa came along and gave it a reason to live!. I really, really like this project. I will make it when I find the perfect book to rescue, have the time and make myself happy. Thank you for another excellent lesson😊.

I finally did it - slowly watched and made a pocket book along with you. I could not find a sewn-bound book! A great substitute was a spiral bound book. In the US we can find these in the recipe book section of Thrift stores. Church women's groups often put together recipe books as fund raisers. With the spiral binding each page is separate, none are fastened to each other. Worked really well for this.

I'd be mindful that the book is a common one, like a very overly published classic for exemple, in a very common edition. Also some books will never be read anyways and will end up in the trash so it's great to save them and turn them into a beautiful thing. I am inspired to try! Thank you!

I volunteer at a community resale shop. All the profits go to our local food bank. Many books are thrown in the recycling bin every day. Cookbooks are sold for a dime. No one wants these books. At least the junk journalling gives it a new life and appreciation. Things have changed and will continue to change. Eventually, there won't be any books. This is unforgivable. I've been collecting books for years with the idea of providing valuable information and culture for my family. I hope to teach them the importance of this resource so the books will be protected and used long after I'm gone. Enjoy junk journals. I do.

I even have books that I loved and that I read twice. It has a value to me, but I am not going to read it a third time!

WOW. You really hit it out of the park with this one. My niece has a new interest in making altered journals after seeing some of the ones i have done, and now i know exactly what i will give her for Christmas. I think i will make a book of pockets like you did on your tutorial, and i will put twice the amount of pages. Then make all the pockets as you did. THEN flip the book over and starting with the back cover which flipped is now the front cover i will make all the pockets and embellish them to give her an idea on how to use her new found pockets. Thank you so so much for your wonderful creativity. I will also let my niece know that you are the one who had all these terrific ideas and give her your channel name. THANK YOU !!!!

Tomorrow, I will be heading to my thrift store to seek out just the right books to make this project. So looking forward to gifting these to my special family and friends. Thank you so much for all your help. I just received your book in the mail and I’m looking forward to reading it from cover to cover. Post post

I've just watched this for the second time and still love it. Itching to get crafting again. Moved to a rental in Aug and then will move again in the new yr to a newly built home so can't unpack my crafts.

That's a very creative and inspiring way to journal with so many interesting ideas. That kind of journal is a good way to keep small drawings/paintings, stickers, tickets, stamps and everything you to put in a place (sometimes things you haven't use them elsewhere) but at the same time to make something beautiful. 🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😉

Why should anyone get upset about repurposing a book ? It's your book you can use it in any manner you choose. If anyone doesnt like what you are doing, they need to shut thier pie holes and move on. Theres no reason ever to say something negative I've watched Gayle Auginelli yes totally new books that she buys from the Dollar store. They are awesome altered books

I am obsessed with books and think it is sacrilegious to throw them out or damage them, but this? I think it is wonderful to repurpose them into something that can be used for a gift or something to sell and given new life. I have literally thousands of books in my house just sitting there taking up room and i think making altered books out of them is a wonderful thing. It's sad that that one didn't even get read, but I'm sure plenty of the same book by the same author and title got read, but it isn't like the whole book was just wasted. Keep up the good work. You are making something beautiful out of a book that would otherwise just sit on a shelf doing nothing.

Thankyou so much for this amazing project I’ve had so much fun doing this one…. My book was a favourite of mine and I discovered had 3 copies so it was easy for me to turn it into an altered book and when I’m going thru my book I can enjoy reading paragraphs here and there…. Love this one think it’s one of my favourites, thankyou once again dear Natasa for your incredible tutorials xxx
