Thank you for sharing how to recycle using everyday items in a very precise and neat manner. I've been using cardboard from regular food items in my card making. :)
@leighduncan I'm glad you liked it. If you want, there are also step-by-step written instructions on my blog. Check the description box for the direct link to the relevant post.
@CreativityPrompt I think I will :) Your tutorial has helped me figure out book binding. I'm an Avid scrapbooker and cardmaker but haven't tried altering books yet.
nice project, gonna try it, but I have to admitt that I always have problem with the right size of papers to put inside of the book. If you trim it all the same size and put together always the outer paper gonna be smaller than those inside, I never manage to make it look good :/ have you got any advise?
@comarta Thanks for watching. When you divide the inner pages between a few signatures, not more than 5 folded pages per signature, than the difference is not that noticeable. Try out and see what works for you. I hope it was helpful for you.
great project! I am definetly going to try it! One question though...why do you attach the signature papers in small groups instead of putting all the signature papers together in one group? Does it make a difference?
The "heavier" the signature is, the more uneven it will get because the fold becomes thicker and thicker until it looks more like a spine and because all the pages are cut to the same size, the outer pages are shorter than the inner ones.
In addition, when you insert one thick signature, it only have one fold, so the inside looks a bit funky because the pages are fanning out but there's a gap where the spine is.
Very nice project. Well done! I really kind of like the look of the thread on the outside binding. I might try leaving it uncovered. Thanks for showing how you did it.
I really like the way you used the mod podge and the way you used the soap box. It gave me an idea about some sweetener boxes I use. Thanks for sharing.
@Scrappinology Thanks so much. It is indeed really easy to make, I hope I have encouraged you to go ahead and reuse some old boxes. If I did, I would love to see how it came out.
I love this recycled book!

It does make a difference.

I hope you find it helpful...
