[SianzxClaudzxM]

oh and what did you use to decorate it? is wrapping paper to flimsy or do i have to use something stronger?

[thewishingstar1]

@SianzxClaudzxM Wrapping paper will be to flimsy. But you can use a cereal box and cover that.

[SianzxClaudzxM]

can you use A3 paper?

[thewishingstar1]

@SianzxClaudzxM You can use any paper you want.

[LilysCollection]

@thewishingstar1 thanks will be sure to get it!!!

[stillmakerr]

Did anyone else notice that she never taught us how to make the spine for the book? IT'S SPINELESS!

[LilysCollection]

So u can just get it at michaels? (in Provo?) I live close there, but can u get it at like smiths or something...?? (any1 who knows plz help!!) oh, and also, great vid

[thewishingstar1]

@LilysCollection Look in the scrapbook adhesive isle. That's where I usually find it. Almost any craft store has it.

[iEpicSkittlez]

Can you use just normal tape or do you have to use that Adhesive tape please respond Anyone Can Respond If They Know!

( p.s I'm not sure if the red tape is adhesive tape)

[thewishingstar1]

@iEpicSkittlez The red tape I use is much stronger than regular tape. It''s called Incredibly Tacky Tape by Provo Craft. I get it at Michael's craft store. You can use regular tape but it won't last very long.

[iEpicSkittlez]

@thewishingstar1 Oooh ok. Thanks! also should i use Cardstock paper or normal white paper. ( i ask alot of gueistons Sorry!! )

[thewishingstar1]

@iEpicSkittlez That is totally up to you. Either one will work.

[shiennachen]

great

[no1NaturalChick]

That was really amazing. I was wondering if i was making a large notebook/journal, how would i create a hardcover spine.

[thewishingstar1]

@no1NaturalChick Thank you. There's a video by tjbookarts called Bookbinding Casing In that might help.

[TheBlackCatQueen]

Would it be a great gift for valentines day ? My bff likes handmade stuff :)

[TheBlackCatQueen]

5 people don't like journals :)

[TheCHiZziES]

Thank you so much! :)

[hadiyasultani]

this was confusing

[AvidAngels]

And then what happen to the spine of this book? Left open?

[thewishingstar1]

@PolloNut Yes. It's left open.

[jennychan99]

dude what about the spine?!

[GLCheerCrazy]

where do you get the red adheasive?

[thewishingstar1]

@GLCheerCrazy I get it at Michael's in scrapbook adhesive aisle. I think Scor-Tape works better but you can only get that online.

[kianna110]

what song is this?

[thewishingstar1]

@kianna110 Eine kleine Nachtmusik, K. 525 IV. Rondo. Allegro by Orchestra "New Philharmony" St. Petersburg

[linennis]

You need a new blade on your cutting tool! (Painful to watch!)

[thewishingstar1]

@linennis I realized that a little too far into the video. It was painful for me too.

[kittycat42300]

@thewishingstar1 I Must Ask Where Do You Get That Pink/Red Tape??

[thewishingstar1]

@kittycat42300 Michael's in the scrapbook adhesive section.

[kittycat42300]

@thewishingstar1 Than you Very Much

[RandomnessStudios0]

Haha I have the same paper cutter as you

[hyper972]

It's not quick,it makes a mess

[eteely]

instead of those sticky red strings can you use tape

[thewishingstar1]

@eteely As long as the tape is strong enough to hold the pages together it should be fine.

[eteely]

OH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL JOURNAL VIDEO YOU HAVE CREATED

[thewishingstar1]

@eteely You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.

[J3nnBarnes]

What is the name of that green paper cutting tool? Cute idea :)

[thewishingstar1]

@J3nnBarnes It's a paper trimmer from Cricut. There's a lot of different brands that make paper trimmers. I got mine for $6 with my 40% off coupon at Joann craft store.

[mariap4495]

And its easy for you because you have a whole lot of stuff that average people don't have. It's cheaper just to go off and buy a normal notebook than buying all the equipment.

[thewishingstar1]

@mariap4495 I'm sorry you don't like the video. The materials I have are basic for people who scrapbook or do a lot of other paper crafting.

[sojournes]

@mariap4495 And to add on to @thewishingstar1 's comment, it's a great way for us paper crafters to use up our scrap supplies and our hoarded stashes. I loved this video, glad I found it. Thanks!

[thewishingstar1]

@sojournes Thank you Sojournes.

[mariap4495]

@thewishingstar1 I don't mean I don't like it, I'm just saying that not everybody has all the equipment. I'm sure that people who do a lot of things like this have this equipment. I just needed a quick journal that you only need a few things to make it but it will look very good anyways. I like the way this journal turned out. It looks as if you bought it in a shop, but like I said I wouldn't be able to make this because it will cost me too much.

[mariap4495]

I wouldn't say this is quick if you have to fold about 40 pages in half

[thewishingstar1]

@mariap4495 This journal only has 10 pages. But you can make it as big as you want.

[thewishingstar1]

@SuperJaidyn Any craft store should have it. Look in the scrapbook section.

[SkittlezAK]

I have a question. That is a really cool glue thingy. Do you know what is called? I want to get on at target. Btw, Real cool! I will use this!

[thewishingstar1]

@SkittlezAK It is called a tape runner or adhesive runner. Many manufacturers make them. I'm currently using Tombo Mono Adhesive in permanent. I get them at Michael's, Joann or Wal-mart.

[vanessa2949]

@thewishingstar1 how do you make the spine?

[thewishingstar1]

@vanessa2949 It doesn't have a finished spine. The folded edge of the pages are the spine.

[vanessa2949]

@thewishingstar1  Oh. Okay then thanks.

[rosie56555]

It was on my book and I am sorry about the spellings as I am typing on my iPod touch

[rosie56555]

If only it had spruce of material fir the spine

Still it's one if the vest book videos I've ever seen thanx

[thewishingstar1]

@rosie56555 Thank you. I wish the spine was better too.

[danieljval]

[thewishingstar1]

@danieljval Thank you.

[MalusvirZechin]

[thewishingstar1]

@MalusvirZechin It' doesn't have a finished spine. In other words the folded edge of the pages are the spine.

[MalusvirZechin]

@thewishingstar1 Awh man oh well still one of the most simple/beautiful notebooks evaaaaa xD

[PresidentMercury]

What brand of glue do you use?

[thewishingstar1]

@PresidentMercury In the video I used Terrifically Tacky Tape by provo craft. I have also used the Quick-Dry Adhesive liquid glue from Scotch.

[PresidentMercury]

@thewishingstar1 Thank you! Also, where did you get the paper cuter that you use at the beginning? (the green one that you cut the cardstock with).

[thewishingstar1]

@PresidentMercury I bought it at Joann Craft store. Michaels has it too. Check in the aisle that has the paper punches and other scrapbook supplies.

[DancnOnDaydreams]

[ahkeyisaSTAR]

[MoniqueShantelSongz]

[thewishingstar1]

@MoniqueShantelSongz Terrifically Tacky Tape by provo craft. I buy it at wal-mart or michael's.

[MoniqueShantelSongz]

@thewishingstar1 thanks. how much is it.?

[thewishingstar1]

@MoniqueShantelSongz
