i'm really broke and i didnt know how i could ever afford a gift for my best friend for christmas and she loves writting so I thought I could make her a book like yours :) i love them! and all of your videos are so easy to understand and I really can't wait to start doing her gift! thank you so much!!
once you have made enough signatures, stack them together squarely then just make marks on the folded sides so they are all in the same place. much easier than making a template x
Pause and rewind buttons help immensely. Try it out on a mock journal with pretend signatures first. Just bung 'em all together and use embroidery thread tripled up, or similar. Perhaps don't try it on a journal proper until you feel proficient. Use photocopy paper to practice.
Oh my gosh! I did it on the first try!!! I'm over the moon excited about it. Lol. I didn't have the correct string (I used sewing thread) or proper sized needle but I did it! ☺️ thanks so much. Loved this tutorial.
Thank you so much for this video and your other tutorial. I have honestly no clue how I came across it, but it inspired me. I just spent the last 6 hours creating a very elegant sketch book. To be honest, I'm so in love with how mine turned out. Thank you so much!
First, your tutorials are amazing, I just finished a cute little notebook, you were so helpfull. Second, your voice is SO UNBELIEVABLY CALMING. Thank you very very much for your video :)))
Absolutely love this you’ve helped me immensely (word of the day) mommy said I couldn’t do it but I made her a Christmas journal so easy and fun also saves your pocket money cos you can get big pages and cut them down with mommy’s help with her guillotine paper cutter make more pages than you buy in the shop. Thankyou so much love from Rachy xxxxx
Just followed along to this video and finished my first signature in my first handmade junk journal! I literally shed a few tears of joy. I LOVE journaling so much, but in recent years have really lost my spark for it. This is the most fun I’ve had with a journal in a very long time and I’m so grateful to have discovered this side of the journaling community. I think I’ve finally found my journaling “home” 🤍
Ok so I just realized I'm 4 years late but I just came across your video and it seriously gave me the confidence to bind my first signature with nothing but a metal kabob (used to poke holes in the paper) and some thick twine from the dollar tree. Lol. And I just carefully threaded it through the holes by hand just using my fingers to get it through to the other side just enough to be able to pinch it as it came out and finish pulling it through. It actually turned out super legit and I'm pretty proud of it! So guys really, if this is something you've been wanting to try, don't be afraid! This video explained it so well I just got in there with what I had and made it work! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have literally look at about 50 different tutorials on notebook binding and this has by far been the easiest to follow and understand. Your absolutely right! It’s intimidating at first which made me stay away from doing anything “binding” related until now. Thank you so much for this all your tutorials.
Your tutorial is so excellent and you definitely got it right bindings is very intimidating especially first time as you don’t want to mess your spine of your book . Thanls so I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us 😊 Bobby
Omg omg omg finally lol..I've searched book binding for miniature books for the last hour and everything was how to make a mini book. Then I found u lol and she's an Aussie yeehaaa lol perfect..me too. Im in Perth, can't thanku enough for a unreal tutorial. Very easy and simple to follow. Yayyyy thanku so much hon, you have saved me throwing my phone across the room 🤣 Cheers hon, I've subscribed too..🥰
I just made my first junk journal and used your technique ! Whew. I needed it perfect , as it was a gift. Your clear video and explanation made it possible. Thank you for your time, and knowledge.
What a wonderful tutorial. My daughter and I have both been wanting to make our first journal, but have been intimidated by this step. You explained it and demonstrated it so well. I really appreciated that your video has captioning, as my daughter was born permanently profoundly deaf. The first time I watched it without any sound and it was so clear in the demo on how to do this step. Thanks so much.
It really does look easy. My granddaughters and I enjoy watching your videos and since they are small it is perfect, not slow at all. You are a great teacher.
Hi Johanna, I was so inspired by your video "Making a journal for beginners" and last night I've bonded my 1st journal following this binding method and I LOVE the results. thank you so very much for your video and inspirations!
I've been wanting to make little books for years & have enough paper left over from scrapbooking for hundreds of them so hopefully I'll actually do it now! Thanks for sharing - I've been following your channel for years. I love your accent & your free & quirky style xx
Thanks for this basic and easy method of binding method, Johanna! I just used it to make a 5 folded sheet with watercolour paper cover for a special card! With great results! I appreciated the encouragement plus suggestions for substituting with materials that I had at hand.
Thank you bunches for making this video! I think I can do it now!!! I've been intimidated for so long and just kept watching video after video with envy thinking something must be wrong with me--- but you've given me confidence to move ahead and just do it now...and who knows... I might be making more sophisticated books/ journals in the future! But for now... I'm taking it simple just as you showed. I have a big smile of gratitude on my face for you! Thank you so so much! Hugs and love! Joyce
Thanks for explaining what a "signature" is. I have heard the term, but didn't know what people were talking about. This demonstration on stitching was well done and appreciated, too.
Thank you so much for this series of making a junk journal for beginner. You are such a good teacher!!! It has halped me so much in making a journal for my granddaughter for her 8th grade graduation 🎓
Definitely subscribing to your channel! Watched 2 of your videos. Which were recommended. I've learnt how to find a book & make a journal. Although the video for beginners guide I couldn't see the binding in the link your shared. Said content isn't available. Was glad when I saw this video. Thank you so much. I'm always on a budget & art stuff can be so expensive. Hope you make more videos!!
2 videos and I will be going for it later today. I have wanted to do this for along time with having a huge craft stash and no idea where to start. I am so excited. Thank you so much for teaching so well❤️
Wow! Thanks so much! I literally "tried" to follow about3 or 4 other book binding video tutorials before I miraculously got to your channel! This was EXACTLY what I was looking for!! You rock! You have certainly gotten yourself one more subscriber! Here's to more learning!!
I just like your tutorial! Helps alot. Easy to understand and not complicated. I personally do not have the patience to watch videos with detail measure and strict rules will wear out my intentions for starting! Also like the way your open mind for telling that we can adjust to the processing way. Thanks for the tips and method!
I can't believe how excited I am that I sewed my very first signature together while watching your video, thank you! I could kick myself for waiting so long to try this.
Love your videos. You made it look so simple and love your soothing voice. ❤️ And thank you for actually showing us how to do it instead of bragging about all of your brilliant pages like so many do. Honestly I think a lot of them like to hear the sound of their own voice, respectfully. Keep up the great work. 💕
I have been thinking of running a book binding workshop at my daughter's school (NZ) and this little video makes it seem so simple. Also good for compiling school projects, which I am about to do with my mini me.
Omgosh I've been waiting to learn how to do this!! Thank you 😊. I'm getting ready to make my first journal and was actually experiencing anxiety 🙃 😅. Yes you were right. I've procrastinating for a week now, I'm so worries I'm going to mess it up..sighs, but thank you again for making and sharing this video.
Wonderful, thank you for sharing! I have never made a junk journal. All types of other books but I can't wait to use your tutorial for my junk journal. Shared it so maybe my friends might see it and learn too.
Ok this is absolutely one of the most informative, delightful and cool videos I’ve every seen.. And the perfect match with the eyeballed one and the measured template is Excellent. Bravo !
I have been wanting to get into bookbinding, but yes, it has seemed somewhat intimidating as I'm not very good with a needle. Needed to re-bind a small, thin sketchbook similar in size to what you show in the video for an art project, but with a different type of paper than what it came with, and I was able to do it fairly easily by just following along. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you, Johanna! I've been very inspired to make a wee journal for a friend's Christmas gift. I've never done one before, so this was super helpful! Many thanks and Blessings
Oh how great it is to finally find a crafter from Australia who shops at Spotlight! Thanx so much for sharing Im a beginner in bookbinding for journal making and you have explained this so well just discovered your channel and subscribed 🤗
It seems to me that if you are a beginner in book binding, this method of making a notebook with fewer pages helps you get accustomed to stitching without fearing you will ruin everything. String for me is very difficult to use except if it is too thin and waxed. Thank you very much for the tutorial!
Thank you for the details of this video. It was exactly what I was looking for. My biggest problem is getting the pages done so I can bind them. I keep adding embellishments. I am wondering if I am prolonging the binding part of this project. LOL Thank you
I hope you get this... I just sewed my first book like this from watching this video! I just wanted you to know! Thank You so much! :) I wouldn't have been able to do it if you wouldn't have made it so easy to follow. :)
This was my baby step. The cover paper was bigger than the signature but ended up not enough to cover the signature. Made 4 holes one the left side and 5 holes on the right side for total 10 signatures. My next step is to make the book block and then the hard cover for it. Trying to make all 10 signatures in the even on the cover for I punched the hole 1/4” in between on the cover. Wishing me good luck and thank you for making this video.
Hey, I know that you have posted this years ago, and I don’t even know if you will answer my question but, first of all, THAT WAS A SUPER AMAZING TUTORIAL, I can’t even believe that that was THAT easy! But the question is, that if you already have started a journal, you haven’t got any signatures in them (since you didn’t knew about them) and you’re not even half way through, and you see these lovely signatures and want them to be binded, and what should you do? Make a whole know junk journal, cut out the last pages, finish the journal, or ? I really wanna make a new junk journal with these signatures but I don’t wanna ditch my old art journal! Please tell me what should I do!
It is 4:00 am and I found your video - thank God ! I forgot how to do this and I was desperate to finish a nautical journal ! Yay ! Thank you, thank you, thank you !
I did something similar for booklets that I made as gifts. Although for the booklets I just used regular cotton thread. I want to make a journal this time around though so thanks for your videos.
Johanna, just found this video. Thank you soooooo much. I love making my gifts and these hand made journal books are perfect for gift giving. QUESTION: Can't the tying of the signature be at the back (behind) of the signature instead of in the fold of the signature so that it is hidden when you glue the backing?
+Johanna Clough I made my first ever junk journal last week. But I bound it differently. I had a ball doing it. I think there will be mor junk journals in my future :)
Thank you so much! I may try this soon, I wanted to try stitching my journals for a while now, and now it looks like something simple, that I can easily do! Yay :)
Ah. After many years.. I am trying. So far I have stabbed my self with the needle twice, done a knot far too loose and stitched upside down. Weeee. Thank you for posting. The video gave me a push. Much appreciation, from a fellow Aussie x
I know this is an old video but thank you so much for posting it! I saw it last night and just finished making my first book! Super excited to see how it holds
i'm really broke and i didnt know how i could ever afford a gift for my best friend for christmas and she loves writting so I thought I could make her a book like yours :) i love them! and all of your videos are so easy to understand and I really can't wait to start doing her gift! thank you so much!!

"don't be scared. It's not hard it's just new" I pretty much have been avoiding starting for a week because I'm scared. I'm going for it. 😬
(Ik this is super late but) U can do it! I believe in u boo!
How do you get different
Sizes papers in? Envelopes etc. Thank u
how did it go?
@Wxlfy 星 well you never know. Also, it wasn’t that hard imo. (Had to make a book for a school project)
@Wxlfy 星 well gl!
actual binding starts at 6:50
Ashley's Lens Thanks! :)
Ashley's Lens thanks dear *hugs*
Thanks Ashley 's ley
she is so slow
Thanks 👍😂
once you have made enough signatures, stack them together squarely then just make marks on the folded sides so they are all in the same place. much easier than making a template x
But a template makes it nice if you have multiple signatures to bind.
@@MaAllen417 and you can you use again and again on your next ;)
Me: *assembling everything while watching* "I'm ready"
Johanna: *starts*
Me: "okay I'm not THAT ready"
Pause and rewind buttons help immensely. Try it out on a mock journal with pretend signatures first. Just bung 'em all together and use embroidery thread tripled up, or similar. Perhaps don't try it on a journal proper until you feel proficient. Use photocopy paper to practice.
@@Kayenne54 I have made quite a few books since then! It took me a little bit to figure it out, but now it's a super therapeutic thing to do
Oh my gosh! I did it on the first try!!! I'm over the moon excited about it. Lol. I didn't have the correct string (I used sewing thread) or proper sized needle but I did it! ☺️ thanks so much. Loved this tutorial.
You can use tooth floss which is waxed too. Hope that helps.
Yep Dental Floss works great and CHEAP
You are such a kind encouraging person thank you so much for this
Thank you so much for this video and your other tutorial. I have honestly no clue how I came across it, but it inspired me. I just spent the last 6 hours creating a very elegant sketch book. To be honest, I'm so in love with how mine turned out. Thank you so much!

Thank you!! You saved my life because i had an homework of making a book and the other vids where to difficult!! Thank you!!

Very good diy- I have watched several. This is the best !
Nice idea with tbe cover. And i think the long stitch look great
Thank you, thank you!! I am no longer afraid to do more binding. You are an excellent teacher...and I love your videos!

Thank you so much Cynthia! Have fun making your books! XX
Just did it for a card I'm making for my best friend. Pretty easy to do and it looks pretty. Thank you.
This video was a huge help!! I'm learning and working on making my first one. Thank you for sharing!!
I use a similar technique all the time! I'm glad to see that I could use it on a larger scale for full books!
It is 4:00 am and I found your video - thank God ! I forgot how to do this and I was desperate to finish a nautical journal ! Yay ! Thank you, thank you, thank you !
This is soooo helpful! I made my own and I love it, made it with a fake leather cover and now i have a beautiful sketchbook😍😊
Wonderful Johanna,your tutorial explains the mysteries of binding well and I will use this system,thank you.
Made two notebooks using this method right after watching the video. Simple and fast. Thank you!
I just started researching bookbinding. This tutorial was extremely helpful! Thank you very much for posting it! :)
I did something similar for booklets that I made as gifts. Although for the booklets I just used regular cotton thread.
I want to make a journal this time around though so thanks for your videos.
Johanna, just found this video. Thank you soooooo much. I love making my gifts and these hand made journal books are perfect for gift giving. QUESTION: Can't the tying of the signature be at the back (behind) of the
signature instead of in the fold of the signature so that it is hidden when you glue the backing?
I was planning to make my own TN inserts to save money. I will feel much more comfident now.
Great vid hun. Thanks for sharing xx

Yay! Have fun making them, you will do just fine! XX

I tried it and you're right! Use a template, even if it isn't perfect, it still comes out nice! 😍
Ah. After many years.. I am trying. So far I have stabbed my self with the needle twice, done a knot far too loose and stitched upside down. Weeee. Thank you for posting. The video gave me a push. Much appreciation, from a fellow Aussie x
