Today it's a longer video, but I promise it's worth the while. I'm showing you, real time, step-by-step how to cover an old book in fabric. There are not many things that you need. If you are a journaler you probably have most of it already in your stash. Come join me, give it a try.

Maureen, When I first started making journals I tried to make a fabric covered journal and it went terribly... and I haven't tried it since. Your video inspired me to try it again!!! I think If I do it step by step with you that I'll be successful this time. I'll keep you posted. Thank you for posting this tutoriall, it is very informative and good to see each step.

Hi Michelle, I'm so glad that this video is inspiring you to give it another try. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that it works out beautifully.

So nice to watch a tutorial like this, thank you. I did remember how to cover a book with plastic or book paper from when I was a student long, long time ago but I never covered one in fabric. I think this is very helpful for many crafty people 🥰 Have a nice crafty week Groetjes Maia

@MaureenAstrid 3 года назад

It is exactly the same, well, almost. I learned it from covering my school books too 😄 also a loving time ago. Thank you Maria for your kind words. Fijn weekend, liefs Maureen 😘👍

Thank you Maureen for this video. My first attempt before I looked at RU-vid turned out ok apart from my back corners. I'll pop some metal corners on the cover to 'cover' my error up LOL! Next time I must try the method you show here.Fiddly but definitely does produce a nice result.

@MaureenAstrid 3 года назад

😘👍 I have used the metal corners too, a lot. Hope you'll give this method a try 😘 thanks for stopping by

Hoi Maureen, dankjewel voor de goede uitleg! Je hebt een super fijne stem om naar te luisteren, dus jouw video’s staan vaak op als ik zelf aan het knutselen ben!

@MaureenAstrid 3 года назад

Hoi Saskia, dank je wel! En wat leuk om te horen dat je vaak naar me luistert bij het knutselen. Vind ik altijd een gezellig idee. Liefs en dank voor het kijken weer 😘

A popsicle stick would work to push down the fabric at the top and bottom of the spine🙂

@MaureenAstrid 2 года назад

Yes, indeed. Thank you.

@janisfarley5128 3 года назад

Thank you that helps a lot. 😊

@MaureenAstrid 3 года назад

👍🥰 glad to hear that.

Thank you for the great video

@octaviasavage6404 Месяц назад

Thankful to have come across this video. What should I do if my spine doesn’t have the little pocket?

@MaureenAstrid Месяц назад

You can follow the same instructions I think because it just depends on the book you use ❤ the little pocket makes it a hollow spine, but you don't need it to follow the tutorial. Best of luck

@lindabell125 Год назад

Do you have a video of how you embellished the pages of this book? Did you remove any of the pages?? I love the way you covered it with fabric ❤️

@MaureenAstrid Год назад

No I don't have a video on that, sorry. Yes, I removed all of the pages - the whole textblock - and replaced it with my own pages that I embellished. I have a reel on IG if you'd like to see the making of that instagram.com/p/CiPZxI8oir8/ and a flip through.
