OMGEEE!!! Awesome YouTube Find

I found THE awsomest way to create a book of shadows. Although I find them a bit too thick for my liking, they're pure genius and absolutely gorgeous.

I sooo would love to attempt making this. It looks so cool. People can be so creative.

And this one below

"Smaller Version of the Handmade Books I make"

(I can't seem to find the video to upload (and it's a piss-off cuz its a good one))

**UPDATE**
I took a chance and am trying to make one of these books. It's far from the perfect looking book in the first video above, but, that's to be expected considering it's my first attempt lol. I'm struggling, though, to figure out how to make the cover, as the maker of these books didn't provide a tutorial on how to make a cover in both her book tutorials (even though she said she would). I'm thinking of using the instructions found on "jamiebookofshadows" (YouTube). It'll be yet another one of my "trial-and-error" attempts lol.

I've got the bags glued together into a "text-block", I just now have to make the flap pages, and add the scrapbook papers and embellishments. I don't think, however, I'm going to crumple the pages, as found in the first tutorial video she has, I'm just going to add flat pages and bind them to the flaps. I can't wait to finish.

**UPDATE 2**
Ok, (shockingly) I've made a change. For one thing I dont' like the look of brown paper bags, but I essentially made the bag-book just to see if I could do it, and I can. But...I have now decided to try to make the pouches and inserts myself, essentially the entire "Gatefold" (as it's called) book from scratch, and so far (after making dozens of mistakes and kicking myself numerous times), I'm fairly pleased with the outcome...and it's totally adjustable. I can take out pages, and add new ones, etc. Here's my book...so far:

The first picture is the book-block itself. The second picture is the first flap opened. As you can see, it's being held together with fasteners that I can open to add or remove pages. The third picture is the next "page" with the flap closed. The fourth picture shows the flap opened, and I have a small book inserted into it, and it's held together with a string, of which I can remove to add and remove pages.

I'm unsure how to continue the book. I could just do the same thing over and over, eight more times (I want about 10 "pages"), but I'm out of the glue I was using (gluesticks are useless for this type of project, I'm using glue-tape, it's a bit stronger), so I have to wait until I get more glue to finish.

On an exciting note, during a spur-of-the-moment trip to Michaels, I found some whole chipboard to make covers...ON SALE!!! Originally $13, on sale for $7. Naturally I grabbed it because it was the last pack. Really wishing I didn't have to wait until Friday for payday.
