Love how you preserve the Golden Spine! Awesome Tutorial!

Heat your spine next time with a heat gun and golden spine will come right off, just remove getly, then you can remove your staples . Great tutorial

This is so great! I have two related LGBs, and now I know how to use both!

This is fascinating - I love it! I still have a collection of Little Golden Books from when I was a toddler - I'm in my 50s now! So this could be a great way to upcycle and get more use out of them. I will have to go back and watch this again, though, because I somehow missed the part where you made the spine WIDER. It was originally, like, an eighth of an inch or so - and now it looks to be about an inch & a half, maybe? Not sure on that because I never measure anything either, LOL, but you get my meaning, I hope. The covers are rigid, so I don't think they would fold well - and I didn't notice you splitting the foil part on the outside open to make it wider .. so I will have to figure that part out. I love the idea - these books have filled many lonely afternoons for me when I was a kid - so it would be nice to be able to utilize them again!! Thank you for the "thumbs up" video~!

Put vaseline around rim of lid of glues or paints. This makes it easier to open since it won't stick

Can you tell me if you cut the pages along the inside where they used to be enclosed in the spine and hinging them instead of cutting them off at the outside edges...it ends up cutting off about 3/4" on the outside edges otherwise and white showing on the inside where they were previously in the enclosed stapled spine??? I am making one for an expectant mommy and not sure how you did that part...I love this just struggling with this part...PLEASE HELP❤

I was interested in seeing how you kept the spine intact. Nice job! I love making LGB junk journals. New subbie!

I'm thinking of making some of these for my preschool class. We have several that will be going into kindergarten that are learning to read and write. I thought this would be great for them to use. Also, I have a student with serious illness and will be at the hospital a lot. I thought my students could make him pictures and notes in one to give him. A couple years ago, I made mini albums for each to add photos and decorate. I used chipboard, cardstock, and scrapbook paper. The floral paper you are using in this journal is the same paper we used.

What is the glue your using? My dad had a golden book collection of over 350 books. Before he passed he got rid of it and I'm so sad I didn't keep them.
