 Hello everybody, welcome to my channel, it's Iwa from Bohemian Crafting and today I'm coming with recycling, I've got few those cardboard boxes, those papers which are coming in those cardboard boxes to protect items I'm ordering mostly from Amazon, I've got here bottle from a milk and I've got here few cans already prepared for some work and I was thinking to create a book using these items and one old book, so all these items and the rest will be glue, some dyes and probably my sewing machine to make some decorative element and that's it, so first and also yeah of course I'm gonna use envelopes because I love to use envelopes in my craft, so that will be items I will use and hopefully I will create some beautiful book, so first what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna use my envelopes and create some some inserts two types, not so many inserts, something easy, so I'm gonna glue those envelopes to make it nice and strong, not there, now I'm gonna put three sides of those envelopes, one envelope I'm gonna put these two shorts and one long, just just those edges just open that envelope, put on and the other one I'm gonna put the opposite way, those two long sides and one short one, so this envelope can be opened this way and that previous envelope can be opened this way I'm gonna take my scoring board, yeah this, I'm gonna make just one scoreline from the original fold two inches here, come here, yeah come on, so I do have one fold here, that's it, so now I'm gonna distress all these edges, I'm gonna use walnut stain and I'm not gonna make any complicated distressing, I'm just gonna slide it all over my distressing from all sides even inside of those envelopes, so this like this and now that other envelope, just really very fast distressing because I'm gonna use those book pages to decorate those envelopes anyway, so it doesn't have to be some complicated distressing, they've got those envelopes and I'm gonna take first this with that fold, I'm gonna take the book, if I will know where I place it, here you go, here is my book, I'm gonna put it off few pages, I think I can put that bottom part like this and my envelope it's four and one quarter so I'm gonna put pieces four inches and I'm gonna open that envelope, one piece I'm gonna place here on this side, one piece I'm gonna place on that opposite side and one piece I'm gonna place on that backside of that envelope just to make it a little bit stronger, I've got here my coffee so I need to move it because I'm gonna use a sewing machine and with my sewing machine I'm gonna make sewn effect all around of this envelope, all this around, just with that normal straight stitching just to add there something so I made sewn effect all around of that envelope and one stitched line here right next to that fold and now I'm gonna sew it on those three sides here here and here to make here kind of pocket so it should be just quick but you never know so I do have the base done I've got here beautiful pocket and for some tuck and here that top I would like to decorate somehow so I think right now will be good time to take my cunts I made this book plate using one can of which I glued on card stock now I'm gonna take and I used the Cizic's original dye it's called book plate all all informations will be down below this is Cizic's original book plates there are three types of these book plates and it's kind of you know in that style like big Cizic's you can put even thick material which is good so I've got this book plate I've got here a few pieces few dose of cuts so I'm gonna put one piece it was two inches so one and three quarter I guess one and seven eight hopefully a little bit more one and three quarter three and three quarters and that should work that will fill this space I sit right here like this I could hear a few words so which one I can take note I like that yeah take note I'm gonna use this take note what like decoration and I'm gonna glue it down somewhere in the middle like this ish come on stay there on the top I'm gonna try to glue my book plate from can so this is my first insert to my book and I'm gonna show you what I'm gonna do with that second envelope again I'm gonna take those book pages and I'm gonna just glue them to my envelope and one on that opposite side and maybe one here yeah where is that flap of that envelope glued down I'm gonna put their book page as well like this and again I'm gonna sew it all around on all those sides and here inside as well just simple sewing just to add there something you know some decorative element so I did that sewn effect all around like this I'm gonna take envelope punch board from VR memory keepers and I'm gonna choose which one so inside will be right it's okay so I'm gonna punch like that here on that if so yeah and okay that piece between those punches I think I'm cutting my yeah I'm cutting my ruler instead of me cut into that envelope so I'm gonna take scissors that's much better this piece you know sometimes I'm getting questions why I do buy so many tools that's why because then I can use it on paper on metal on plastic on anything I want and I can change the things I've got around into something you know interesting so I've got that base and I would like to create something on the top so I'm gonna take this this is that paper which comes with parcels mostly that was actually good size and I'm gonna put the piece which can fit here on the top of my envelope here to this space that will be I'm gonna have a look three and half yeah three and a half inches that will fit nice so I'm gonna cut three and a half piece and I would like to have the top part of this opening something a little bit long a little bit shorter than the bottom part so I'm gonna put both fingers to make that something something interesting and this will be probably on the top so this I'm gonna put a little bit shorter I've got here the can opener which I changed to closure using book page and one fastener here is the can opener and I want to use it so here yeah I guess this should be okay so what I've got it's folded piece of that paper from parcels this is that longer side I'm gonna fold those corners together and I'm gonna put it like a tuck like this I'm gonna take my book pages and I'm gonna use the book pages to make it a little bit more stronger and also a little bit more interesting I'm gonna leave small frame using that book page all around like this and I'm gonna take second book page and I'm just gonna slide it inside this one yeah it can be with frame around as well come on go there go there go there like this glue it together and I'm gonna put that page around as well and I will use now my sewing machine and make a sewing sewing effect I guess yes I'm gonna make some sewing effect on this small piece something just you know something easy nothing too complicated so first I'm gonna sew on that tack on the bottom so I did sewing effect all around and what I'm gonna do now I've got here from cans cut this beautiful enforcer it's from collection planners essentials I think planner essentials I will put name of those dies there is ten dies different dies of reinforcers and they work really well really beautifully even with those cans so they are very strong and they are just those thin list eyes ten different and I've got here this is just circle reinforce which I made using my paper punches I'm gonna place it somewhere here I guess it will make you know it will reinforce those that book page and that paper and make nice space for my closure and I'm gonna fix that closure here and now I'm gonna take my envelope and I'm gonna glue it all this on that envelope you can use it like another pocket but I think this time I'm gonna go just with you know just with glue it all the way on my envelope just like this so what I've got here it's opening space writing space here and also stay there the glue also opening space here here it's space may be for some stickers space for writing so I've got that base I've got that another one and I made six of each these a little bit different way here I put book page on the top so the writing space it's inside and I've got six of each and now I'm gonna make the book cover and something what will hold my inserts and now we're gonna make some holders for those inserts so what I have noticed that book page it's a little bit longer than is my insert so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna make a holder using it at book page but because the book page it's so fragile I'm gonna use one of these you know papers from those parcels to reinforce that book page and make some beautiful frame around and I will use again sewing machine to do just simple stitching like decoration shoot it's going now I'm gonna place it here I think that way and I'm gonna cut small frame around of that page that will be my base now that sewing so I'm gonna take my sewing machine again and this time I'm gonna use that zigzag stitching I do have that zigzag stitching all around I'm gonna fold it half and I'm gonna with straight stitching to sew just this edge and that bottom edge so I'm gonna make kind of pocket just this and of course I will have to make 12 of them because I've got six inserts of each so they will hold my insert this way all of them like this and I need to prepare some front cover and back cover and then put it together so from from those covers I could from those cardboard boxes four pieces two are nine and one quarter I'm gonna just check it out if I did it yeah nine and one quarter by four and a half those two and those other two they are a little bit smaller so they are nine yes nine bar by four and one quarter yes and to make them to look nice I'm gonna use this paper from those parcels and I'm gonna wrap each of these papers separately and then put them together to make some nice beautiful cover although I can also bear with me I'm gonna place it here I'm gonna take one of these smaller ones one will be on the backside on the back cover so that can be full and on the front cover I can make a frame I'm gonna take my ruler and with my ruler I'm gonna make one and one quarter yes one and one quarter marks from all these sides lines from one one and one quarter here so I'm gonna make a frame one and one quarter one and one quarter and one and one quarter and that inside I'm gonna try to cut off hopefully I will don't cut my ruler again it will get smaller smaller shouldn't be too hard because it's just normal cardboard box these are kind of soft and easy to cut usually but we never know right okay I'm gonna go with my knife through all these layers one more time yeah like here we will get that and move yourself move nicely good so I do have frame scissors glue my frame on the paper and I will try to make some beautiful frame so from here this corner and the last corner give it try stay there to fold it nicely around the edge glue it to my frame here the opposite side this kind of pulling pulling I think it's the right word the paper using it you know this much much much moving this much much much it's kind of pulling carefully that paper around the edge of that frame and it should sit nicely and I'm gonna finish those other parts here other sides and I'm gonna wrap all those other pieces to that paper make sure it's sit nicely beautiful frame like this and I do have also all these wrapped and glued I would like to cover those covers with some painting to make them a little bit stronger so what I'm gonna choose my shoe polish to which I add also a little bit of black acrylic paint and I'm gonna paint it with this and let it dry all of them probably from both sides definitely from both sides so when I will have all that done to paint it this was previously brown shoe polish but I added that black acrylic paint so now it's kind of between you will see once it will dry so it's all dry it looks like this it's kind of between black and brown and for that top part that top top window I'm planning to use book page and I made using this Wonder Ward and using this dye from metal from can can metal to make a title for my book but before I will glue it together I'm gonna use another my tool or a supply this is from Prima marketing that opal magic wax I think it's wax vintage silk is this one and it makes really beautiful effect on this dark color here I already use it a little bit so I'm gonna use it on all these edges just to make those highlights just very lightly on those edges and the last one the same gonna make it from both sides this one because it will be seen from both sides those edges like this and now I'm gonna glue it need to tidy up my fingers and my table to pair with me once all gold okay so I'm gonna cut this paper I'm gonna put the glue from the side and try to place that book page the way that I can see the table yes just like this mm-hmm and I think I just lost the title and I'm gonna let it dry because now I'm gonna try to put those holders my page holders somehow together so these are my covers for that book and now it's time to put those holders together and glue them to the cover so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna take one of these holders and I'm gonna use this sport tape to put it all together so first what I need to do it's glue the sport tape about half away to one piece like this press it down and to make my book easy to open flexible with a nice space to up there some more things I made for myself kind of tool I glued together using that clear packing tape to bamboo sticks now I'm gonna place that my new tool gonna call that spacer because it makes space here on the edge of my one entry here is the entry here is that entry to that holder here is the fold and I'm gonna take another one and with that fold I'm gonna place it here and I'm gonna try to match the bottom one and the top one together to make it kind of even come on sit down sit sit and on the top and press it this way I'm gonna take off my amazing tool that's why I wrap it to that packing tape because then it's easy to take it off and I'm gonna take this sport tape and glue it here like this this is very old technique with I think ladies before used duct tape for this glueing I saw it a while ago on some photo album if I remember that right that was photo album what I watched two three years ago I think and I always wanted to try so now it's time so we do have two holders and the kind of spine between I'm gonna fold it this way so that spine that do this one this cup it's folded around the edge of this pocket and I'm gonna take my spot tape and glue it here press it down flip it over put it down here put my pockets on the table again I'm gonna take my amazing tool and I'm gonna place it on the edge here I'm gonna take another pocket and with that fold I'm gonna place it right like that press it down take my amazing tool and again I'm gonna take spot tape and cover this sticky sticky piece that spot tape spot tape here to make it nice and straight if it will be possible so we do have starting to make that flexible spine you have three pages so now I'm gonna move all that stuff and fold it around this front pocket and I'm gonna take this spot tape again and again same system glued down halfway over the edge and I guess now I can do it even without my amazing tool hopefully kind of keep kind of space I guess this one will be good I'm gonna give it try and I will see how creepy shape if it will be very bad I'm gonna call it Halloween book like it's scary you know those Halloween houses they are like not straight so I'm gonna call that Halloween book if it will go well it will be good and again I'm gonna take this spot tape and cover this sticky part with it just like put it off and this way I'm gonna continue with all 12 of these pieces so I do have all those pages glued together here I made kind of mistake you place them too close together but here I've got beautiful spaces so what I'm gonna do now I'm gonna move it this is front and this is last page so I'm gonna move it this way all fold it around the you know bottom of this page and I'm gonna want to do actually exactly same with editing all these pages to cover it's gonna be here flip it over put it down like this so here will be glued one of those large pieces which one is larger I have to check it out this is larger this is larger okay so I'm gonna take one that large piece and this I want to have inside so it will go just like that gonna flip it over put the cover with that fully fully covered piece and I'm gonna glue it down I'm gonna try to keep there some space and of course I will use then inks and I will color all these spaces but right now I need to fix it all together so I'm gonna take another piece and I'm gonna glue it from this side to flip it over to see what I've got here take my scissors and cut I'm gonna take my bone folder and gonna try to press it properly all together so this will be my back cover before I will glue one of those smaller pieces here and make some you know some kind of framed framed cover I'm gonna take a walnut stain distress ink and with that walnut stain distress ink I'm gonna go on these edges and here and because I used black ink or black color mixed with that brown for my cover I'm gonna add here a little bit of black ink and now I can glue this glue this is that smaller piece so it makes kind of frame all around here as well and same will be with that front cover I'm gonna move everything this way I'm gonna place the sport tape here so here is the smaller part which will comes on the top and here is what will comes to inside I want to have this one inside of my book so I need to place it this way I'm gonna flip this and I'm gonna flip this and just glue it down with some small space I'm gonna take another piece of that sport tape and I'm gonna cover that sticky part press it these properly flip it over this sport tape is really nicely sticky now I'm gonna press it on both these sides to make sure it holds and I'm gonna use that walnut stain and black ink again cut this off because it will don't hold the glue so it will be open this way I'm gonna put the glue here and glue it on that cover you know you can make so many decorations on that cover this is just super simple like this and I'm gonna use a walnut stain and a little bit of that black ink and I'm gonna also distress this spine to match it all together and this is my recycled book so we have cover if I will continue to decorate this I will put here some decorative paper maybe book page I will put here some opening but you know for now it's done I've got holders for my small pockets where I can place some something inside and give it back we've got here pockets with those writing spaces and by the way I used Tim Holtz Tim Holtz big scissors die teeny taps and dies you can get small pieces like this and I tried on that milk bottle and it makes beautiful penny tax so I'm gonna add there add them to these reinforcers just like this I did just one so I'm gonna continue with that so I've got 12 pages with 12 inserts and I've got here those small mini notebooks with pocket and I will decorate it a little bit more but this is just you know to show you that fully recycled book it's easy to do and that's why I'm buying my tools because it gives me chance to do something right even here I didn't use too many tools like super tools I use just these dies so this is my sharing for today I hope you did enjoy it I hope you're gonna try to scrap home what is it home waste and I will and you will create some beautiful journal have a wonderful day thank you so much for sharing your time with me today and see you next time bye
