I really enjoy your flip-throughs where you talk about how you chose things, but I also really love your "create with me" projects where we get to work side by side with you. I really love your style so I enjoy seeing how you choose things. :)
Just stumbled on a video of yours and am watching these back to start my own Gluebook! Each one is like a work of art, your eye for form and colour is glorious. I love your uses for playing cards and other interesting pieces you've found. Thank you so much :)
So interesting. I just watched the video of you making this book 2 years ago. And it's finished 5 months ago. Makes me feel more patient with my learning journey. Beautiful artwork as usual
I can’t even tell you how much I enjoy watching you on your channel create these lovely one of a kind journals and books. You have such a keen eye for proportions, colors, and subjects. I promise I will be taking your on line course this year. 🤍🤍
I can see why you kept those two pieces for the cover--they're terrific. Several years ago you referred to your Zutter so I bought a second hand one...and then never used it. I was a little intimidated. It was very helpful to actually see how you put the book together (I'm a visual learner) and put the coil on. Also, I have a lot of postcards and greeting cards so this might be a good use for them. Thanks for this lesson. Nothing is too basic. We need this.
Thank you for sharing. I have a Zutter. Haven’t used in awhile. Truly inspired me to start using it again. Love the idea of using postcards as pages. I have many from all my travels. Since I was a child. I do use them in my junk journal as flips or a nice surprise in a pocket. 😊🌸🌺
Thanks Margaret for this AWESOME &I NSPIRING Tutorial!!! I don't have that apparatus, so I improvised and used eyelets, and fashioned rings from 14gauge bare copper wire!! I utilized a small glue stick as a form/ mandrel ( could use that also!) to wrap the wire around one ring at a time, times 5 pcs. I used a saltine box to make the covers..glued two pcs each for sturdiness.. Used my punch/ eyelet tool, similar to a cropadile, no extras..(wish I had one lol) to make 5 holes. Then, utilizing those thick political/ etc adverts, I cut to lengts, fold in half, punch the holes...Came out COOL! Now to decorate/ glue! Love how yours came out!! I don't use fakebook or instgm...maybe I will try to make a video at some point...I just have my little Fire tablet small megapixel camera/vid.. Cheers and hope you are enjoying your summer!! 🤗💖💐🙋♀️- Mindi
Thank YOU!! I am starting another one by glueing some postage stamps in A similar fashion, as that looks REALLY COOL!! So,, we shall see how they both turn out...something to do with what I have, and recycling materials! Warm Hugs to you for being such an AMAZING Influencer!! 💝🤗🌹🙏🙋♀️See you next time!! Fond Regards, Mindi
Thank you for demonstrating the Zutter! I bought one after being very impressed with your previous glue books. There are videos on using these machines but it really helps seeing someone who uses it the way I want to. You have ignited the glue book bug in me, this craft really brings me much joy and I have no shame in peeling something off a sidewalk that would work in a collage! 😜
Margarete, fabulous as usual and thank you for sharing! You have inspired me to create a few of these and put some of my favorite postcards in along with my collection of playing cards. I find I tuck items away, wanting to use them and never do so these gluebooks are just perfect. Your books are wonderful 🥰
Thank you, Margarete. As you flipped thru the first book, I was trying to figure out how you put it together. I have a Zutter tool, so it’s as I surmised. I’m just really glad you showed us how and WHEN you put your book together. When: BEFORE you collage. I love all the different page sizes, especially the playing cards. Wonderful instructive video. 💕
Margarete: That cinch machine and I would have a hard time getting along. However, those little plastic rings have potential. Almost like the small metal rings that are readily available. Thank you for suggesting that. And your personal combination of cards and paper are most interesting. I can see this being a lot of fun. Carol from California
Ah, now maybe I'll get my Bind It All out of the box! I've used metal binder rings to make some journals but there's a lot of flex in the pages which I don't like. Gotta be brave and try the Zutter. This vid was much needed demo and inspiration. Thank you!
Margaret thank you! I have seen journals with this type of binding before. I will definitely try this format. I enjoyed the steps you took to show how it’s done. You make it look so easy. 😊
Love, love this tutorial/demonstration. The Zuttter is great for binding. Love the Dutch cover and the cards I saw pas by on camera. Thx so much fot this greta idea to use ols postcards. I’ve got lots and lots of them. Greetz from the Netherlands
Enjoyed this. I have been wanting to do a smaller book. This shows me that collages this size can be just as interesting. So plan to make this my next project. I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing this process.
I recently got a mini cinch that will do the job. It will bind at least 6 inches, but I read somewhere I could get it to do more. I think 6 inches max is plenty. I haven't used it yet, but I'm looking forward to it! I love all your postcards!
Thanks for showing how you make your gluebooks and for demonstrating the Zutter machine, it looks like a lot of fun with many possibilities. Is there a reason you only bind part of the spine and not the whole length? Just curious if it's a Zutter limitation or personal preference? Thanks, love all your videos!
Did your puppy chew on the one journal? I think you mentioned that something was gnawed on! I like the idea of the rings as I don’t have room for any more tools.
thoroughly enjoy this video - I don't have a zutter but it's on my christmas / birthday list!! Do you take the pages out to collage them or do you collage in the book?
Hi Margarete! I recently bought a Zutter binding tool on Facebook marketplace. It came with a package of larger coils. I was thinking of buying some smaller ones from Amazon, but I thought I would ask you what size yours are that you used on the glue books you have in this video. I really like them! Especially the one your dog chewed on. I’m currently having issues with our 6 month old Lab puppy chewing. He wouldn’t have stopped at the corner. He would have demolished the whole book. Anyway, if you could give me some guidance on what size coils I should use, I would appreciate it.
What size rings did you use for this, please? (What size do you use for 20 page books?). Your rings don’t seem oversized for the thickness of the book.
