Hello! I'm thrilled to know that so many of you are starting bookbinding and interested in getting the right tools to make the process easier. In the video I try out a beginner kit to make a pamphlet stitch notebook. The 2nd part of the video is more chill as I introduce new pressing tools to the studio. I'm already using these a lot so far! I hope it's interesting and helpful to you!

At 5:35 I meant to say 1/4 inch of the awl, not a quarter of the awl! I also forgot to mention that she includes a link to a video tutorial in the PDF.
I'm not sponsored by papercraftpanda, I just wanted to share a great product by a fellow bookbinder that would be useful to any beginner. If you want to cut heavier materials like book board, getting a larger OLFA knife would make cutting easier. Overall I think it's a great value and the tools can be used for many years to come.

“I’m going to approach this as a beginner…Let me check for paper grain.” 😂💗 Even when you’re trying not to be, you’re a wonderful teacher! Love your channel and content. You’re lovely and so inspiring! Much love 💗💗💗
I really appreciate this video. I am not a "book binder", but I have made journal booklets like you made in this video. You did a couple of steps that I hadn't considered doing. Since I already have tools, I plan to try the new steps. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Glad to hear, I hope they work well for you!
I just had such an eye opening experience.. do you know these moments where you’re like „oh THATS how it works“! I‘m from germany and I’ve been searching for waxed thread for months now but i just can‘t seem to find it.. I thought maybe it just doesn‘t exist here.. I only found one but it was way too thick.. but now I know you can just WAX THE THREAD
This just changed my whole world 😂
Was watching your videos and all of a sudden a new video..
Wohooooooooo😀😀
😮 nice
Your videos are so soothing to watch. And I learn so much from you. Thank you for sharing your gift.
I appreciate hearing this, thank you!
Thanks, Chanel! I'm so glad you love the kit and think the awl is cute (I do, too! couldn't help myself). I also LOVE your new tool upgrades. You're gonna have so much fun!
Hehe the awl is the highlight for sure. The toolkit is a delight!
I've been meaning to order one, so I appreciate Chanel reviewing it and reminding me of that! I'm excited!
@@iamdawt Yay! I can't wait to send you one ;)
gorgeous, gorgeous book at the end! i love watching your videos; both relaxing and educative
Thanks :) I think the book really came together!
Thank you for the review, Chanel, I've been eyeing that kit for a while now. As usual, your video was a salve for my day.
Oh nice, I hope you enjoy the kit 💕
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Good morning 👋☺️ Chanel 🌹 Thank you for this demo of the kit it looks great for beginners I too wish I had found it when I first started bookbinding last year too I bought a small kit on Amazon that has that awl I love it Hope you are getting the pledge money you needed I really want to buy your finished book enjoy your weekend 👍☺️🌹💌🦄👋📚❣️
Thank you!
Thank you for your video. This was so helpful for me as a beginner.
❤️❤️
Hey Prince! ☺️
Uff, te quedó genial!
Thank you for this! I am doing enough simple binding that it is probably time to stop using a spoon to flatten the folds.
Haha! I'm glad the spoon has been working. We have to get creative before we decide to commit to the real deal tools.
❤❤❤
Thank you for featuring the kit. It was helpful to see you use it. Do you think that stitch would work for a junk journal, which features different sizes of papers?
If the journal is single signature, I would suggest doing a 5-hole pamphlet for a bit more strength. Otherwise, long stitch for a multi signature book would be better! With long stitch you can set up spacing in between the pages to allow for expansion as you add materials.
hey, i loved the video!! could you possibly suggest/review some kits that can get delivered to europe too?? thanks a lot!
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🍁🍁
Muchas gracias querida Chanel, precioso trabajo, limpio, perfecto y con mucha delicadeza, tengo una pregunta……. Las 2 tablas, que hacen de presa, sujetas por 4 tornillos, me podrías decir qué medidas tienen? Y el grosor de los tornillos 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏, te estaría inmensa mente agradecida. Gracias y sigue así… besitos desde España 💙💙💙💙
Hola! The boards are the IKEA APTITLIG Cutting board (45 x 28 cm) cut in half. The carriage bolts are about 1 cm wide by 15 cm long. Thanks for your support and good luck!
Gracias de todo corazón, me has ayudado mucho.. sigue así, no cambies nunca, muchos besitos 💙💙
Great video! I’ll be checking out paper craft panda’s blog for sure. Question: what did you use on the spine of the cased book you did at the end of the video? Was that just book cloth? The book looks beautiful!
TY! The spine is homemade book cloth from a cotton/linen blend fabric. I love the texture.
@@bittermelonbindery yes, I do too! That’s why I asked. It really is gorgeous!
You are the one who got me interested in bookbinding.. and now.. I want to make 5000000 of them.. haha!! I was wondering what kind of paper you add on your book [second part of the video] where can I find such paper? I am in Canada.. and it's not that easy! haha
Also the fabric look a like you add in the middle??
Okay!! Last question - Do you prefer Patreon or giving directly to your fundraiser for the book??
Thank you!!!
Hooked on bookbinding - I know the feeling! The paper I used is Bhutanese paper 120 gsm that I found at Hiromi Paper. They ship internationally but I hope it's not too pricy for you. The fabric is a linen cotton blend that I turned into book cloth. And I prefer Patreon, I'd be happy to have you join our community there! Thank you for your support :)
@@bittermelonbindery thank you so so much! I will join your patreon right away. Money is a bit tight right now so I'll go for the basics.. But as soon as I can. I will upgrade because I value your work and watching your video helps to calm me down etc!!
Have you any telegram account? And do you use it to contact me? Please... I'm in urgency to know if is spam!!!
