 Hello everybody, welcome to my channel, it's Eva from Bohemian Crafting. Maybe you are about to re-decorate your kitchen, or maybe you are about to clean in your craft room and you will need some organisers. Today I'm coming to share with you how you can make a really fast way and very easy way these cute little books which can be perfect as a T-book or which can be perfect as a small ephemera die-cut organiser. Anything what you will want, you can use 6x6 paper pads or you can create your pages from newspapers and I will show you in this tutorial how you can make it. It's really very easy and it's so much fun. I hope you will enjoy it. I'm making these cute little T-books or ephemera organisers. You need some large envelope or any large cereali boxes and then newspapers or if you would like to have a decorative you can use 6x6 paper pad. Today I'm gonna be using newspapers and from newspapers I'm gonna be cutting my papers. First I'm gonna create my basic papers for the pocket and I'm gonna create them from newspapers of course. I need to have that paper a little bit thicker than it's this one, the newspaper paper. It's very fragile and it's very thin. So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna rip it on half, rip the other part on pieces. I'm gonna do some straps, some strips. So I'm gonna rip the newspapers on small pieces which will be much more easy to glue them on this larger sheet. I'm gonna take glue stick and always I'm gonna take one small piece, apply the glue and glue it on larger piece. It doesn't matter which way. I'm making little collage out of my newspapers. So it really doesn't matter. Here it's just about reinforcing the newspaper. I do have my 6x6 inches sheets from newspapers done. So I do have 9 sheets, 6x6, that's what you need. Now very easy way. Fold the sheet half and then open and fold the opposite side, again half. If you do have paper punch and you would like to create entry to those pockets, use paper punch, I'm gonna be using this circle paper punch, I'm gonna find kind of like middle of this and punch half of circle here or not. Okay, you will probably have to have a harder, stronger paper for punching. I think my newspapers are not too strong and they are folding, but you will cut punch like this or entry like this and then open it and fold the back again. So when you will sew it here, you will have one pocket here, one pocket here. Do this with all 9 sheets you have. So I do have prepared my pieces. I also used Distress Ink, you don't have to use Distress Ink if you don't have it. I did use Distress Ink from Spectrum Noir, Harmony Line and this is called Smoked Puddle. And I just added with Distressing Tool, this is by the way my Distressing Tool. It's supposed to be a cube for sanding your nails. I just cut it on half and I'm using it for Distressing. Just tap the ink and then with the soft hand, I'm adding the ink to the edges to make them darker, but you don't have to use that if you don't have it. You can take maybe some marker and do some doodling. This is your palette, so decorate it the way you want. I think I'm going to add here kind of like edges with the marker, first with the black one to go all around of the edges and also around the folds from both sides. So first here and on that other side then here. Just some easy doodling or take some stumps if you have them and use your stumps. I'm going to do just very easy doodling to decorate the both sides and now you can take maybe another different color. You have here this gold one and I'm going to do just simple stitching in that black marker and again all around. So decoration like this is very easy to do and it does have some beautiful effect on your piece. I do have my doodling all around of those pieces. I also made zigzag stitching on that opposite edge from these kind of notches and I reinforce it with medical tape just to make sure that it will don't get ripped off. So first I sew it and then I placed this medical tape over that sewing or that stitching to make sure it will be strong enough to hold and I can also sew these edges now together and with that make the pocket. Or what I'm going to do I'm going to be using these address stickers, address labels, these labels and brown tape and I will seal the sides with these tapes and with these labels. So always I will grab the label or this brown tape and cover the edges and make some small layout using these. Here I can put this one and I can also use this kitchen label and maybe place it here just like this. And again I'm going to grab this brown tape or you can just simply put the glue here and seal it down of course. But I want to cover a few of these images because I don't like them if that there will be just simple calligraphy, some text. That will be perfect but unfortunately I had a newspaper where there was so many pictures of football with football team. So I can make layout like this on both sides actually and prepare with this my pocket. So I do have glued the tape and stickers some way, every time it's different and because I do like vintage style I'm going to be using this ink, it's again from Spectrum Noir, Harmony Line and this is called Sandstorm and it's beautiful vintage. It gives to my project beautiful vintage look. I'm going to be using this brush. It's my makeup brush, broken makeup brush which is perfect to use for editing just light shades. To give to my papers slightly vintage look. I don't want to go too dark, just this light shadow and I'm going to do it on all of my pockets. So I do have distressed all these pockets and the last thing I'm going to do like decoration I'm going to bring my stamps. I do have here this beautiful collection from Tim Holtz, these block upper letters and I'm going to be using them to stamp letters on each of these pockets. Here I'm going to be using black ink, again from Spectrum Noir, Harmony Line, this is called Noir Black and I'm going to be just stamping the letters where I think they will look nice. I'm going to start here. Like this and I'm going to go alphabetically on each pocket one letter. So I do have stamped letters and then because I didn't have enough letters I continued with numbers. I do have that but it's still kind of like plain. So I found in my stuff and they are also on my Etsy these beautiful butterfly stickers. They are transparent, plastic transparent stickers really beautiful. It's there how many? 40 pieces of these gorgeous butterflies and it's called Phantom Butterfly. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to put there kind of like circle stamp with the flowers this I found on Aliexpress I do believe. So always what I'm going to do just stamp somewhere the flower then take a butterfly which one, which one I'm going to place here maybe this one, like this. It's going to be a little bit softer, not that harsh so I'm going to continue with all of these pockets put the circle stamp first and then choose butterfly on it. I do have prepared my pages and now I'm going to prepare the cover and sewn the pages inside. For making the cover on that organizer I'm going to be using this old envelope it's from very nice thick cardboard you can use any kind of cereally boxes and because my pocket pages when I will put three in the row they do measure 9 inches so they do measure 9 inches I'm going to actually keep this one I guess here I'm going to keep this side of envelope which is 9.5 so I'm going to cut the piece 9.5 from this so I do have piece of my envelope here it's 9.5 and here I'm going to cut it on 7.5 and I'm going to score this piece 3.25 3.5 3.25 4 4.25 and here I do have the cover I'm going to fold first scoreline and last scoreline the scorelines between will help me to navigate that will navigate me where I should stitch the pocket so I will see that better I would like to reinforce the spine for that I'm going to take a sport tape it's a fabric tape and it's self adhesive tape I do have here this medical tape I'm going to place it over the spine stick it here now I'm going to grab my pocket pages and I'm going to take this foam mat I'm going to use it to place it under my pockets where I will make the holes in it because I use those 6x6 this is 3 inches and I'm going to punch the holes I would say one quarter of inch from the edges on all of them same way one quarter of inch from the bottom and one quarter of inch from the top and I will do exactly same with all of these pages I do have poked the holes now I'm going to take 3 of these I'm going to bring back my book cover and I'm going to place these pockets into my book cover the way where I can see that they will fit nicely there will be always space between them and I can place them into that book cover and now I'm going to poke the holes where I do have holes here on these pockets so on that first score line I'm going to poke the holes in the spots which I see onto those pockets onto those pocket pages so here then next one it's here and here and next one so I do have poked the holes and now I'm going to poke the holes in the same measurement on other 2 lines so I do have my holes onto my spine now I'm going to take same tape and I'm going to place it here inside just to cover the spine and I'm going to poke the holes one more time from this side to make sure they will be visible and easy to access so I do have holes through now I can take some decorative papers and decorate the cover I'm going to be using this beautiful vintage stripe paper from this paper pad Tropical State of Mind it's from Kraft Sensations and it's really beautiful, gorgeous papers I found it in the Vorks shop here in UK so really beautiful paper pad, strong papers and I'm going to cut 4 pieces of the paper 3 inches by 9 and just bear with me 3 inches by 9 and 1 quarter I do have my pieces prepared and I'm just going to glue them easily inside and outside I have distressed everything with the same ink I used at the start on my pockets place the paper into my cover and same will be outside this is a back cover before I will place the paper inside of the front cover I'm going to take this and glue it on the front cover now I do have here this metal label and I would like to have it on my book cover so I'm going to take my poking foam I'm going to take I think this large ruler place it to the edge of my cover here I'm going to place the label hold it there I'm going to poke the holes here and here and with 2 brats I'm going to fix the label on the front cover like this and now I can put inside paper the cover, the brats and once I do have prepared the base cover I can start the stitch so I can take first 3 pockets and I'm going to start with the bottom one open it and where there is the first hole in my book cover I'm going to put the needle to that pocket and through to that first hole in my book cover I'm using just simple thread embroidery thread for sewing my pockets here I'm keeping quite long piece of thread outside and I'm going to take second one go to pocket through to that next hole here next hole here just to continue with the holes I prepared and continue with sewing the pockets and I'm going to take the top pocket and again through to that pocket to the hole here back again and here you can go around the book cover and go to that hole here or you can go straight way down there and go kind of like around the opposite way and to that next hole I'm going to make, you know, sewing in next hole here every spot where you don't see the thread you will fill the thread right now and here and here you can tie the knot and you are ready to move to another row of the pockets so I'm going to sew the next row to those middle dots or middle holes and then next row to those last ones and then it's your little organizer, maybe for teabags or maybe for some small die cuts ephemera anything you want to add in there it's done it's very easy to make it it's brilliant as a gift because it doesn't take too much time and I do believe you do have for it already at home just have an open mind what you can use for it sterile boxes for cover newspaper for inside pockets you can put newspaper also outside as a cover of your mini book and you will create beautiful gifts in no long
