Little Golden Book junk journal spine preserving golden strip and story signature start to finish.

I use my heat gun to lift gold foil from book. When glue melts, it lifts off on it's own. Remove staples and signatures and separate covers. Cut down center of foil and reglue back onto cover edges.

Hi, for cutting the pages down and putting them back together - I see you are see double sided tape but what did you tape them together to? Just back to the original page? Sorry I couldn’t tell and would like to make these books since I have a bunch!

As best I can tell by watching, I appreciate your technique. However, I couldn't learn much because you talk little about what you are doing. I hate to be critical, but you could teach so much about your craft if you talked about what you are doing. You did produce a beautiful journal.

You can use your heat gun ( or blow dryer)and warm up the spine,it will release the golden spine,once it's removed then separate your signatures from your front and back covers

Thank you Wendy,I loved your video,amd hearing about you and your families trip! 🙏❤️
