    GENIUS TECHNIQUE! it looks super easy, and you demonstrated it very well. i like that this binding makes each page double sided, and how each page is still complete, without any holes or anything. i might consider binding some of my old loose leaf sketches like this!
    (btw that accordion fold is ALSO GENIUS. so quick!! the way id normally do a fold like that would take literally forever, i will now be using this method for the rest of my life lol!!)

    I kind of wish no one had pointed out the harmonica/accordion word mix up... I could tell you were happy and proud to have learned a new word (and how to pronounce it so beautifully) in a 2nd language that I would have hated to be the one to burst your enthusiasm bubble! Your pronouncination is perfect BTW! Learning a new language as an adult is not easy and learning English is one of the harder languages to learn, so I admire how well you have done! Oh, and the book is really cool too!

      Oh Fairy I was thinkin the same thing... I ADORED the word harmonica and it made PERFECT sense to me... it is actually a very correct word and description of that GORGEOUS book. :-) When I speak spanish (poorly I might add) I do worry about how silly I sound but then I fall back on the fact that it isnt my first language. Also, I am by trade an American Sign Language Interpreter for the Deaf and although I am fluent, the Deaf Community still says they can easily spot a non-native signer. Same with most other languages any of us attempt. The bottom line is, did communication happen? Cool! Did anybody die? Sweet! Was there a few chuckles at my way of speaking or signing? Of course! But they always spot a good heart, a genuine attempt to connect and nothing else matters. I can not say just how endearing Marta is, her sweet phrases and pure joy she shares so openly with us. I feel as if she is talking directly to me and I feel so blessed she shares so much. We lucky folks, huh!? :-) @maremismallart, #maremismallart

    I love your little book! Many years ago when I was trading ATC's with a couple of online groups I created a book to keep them in them someone had given us the "recipe" for. It was a basic plastic binder with metal rings and then using fabric and cotton batting for quilting and fabric glue we made our own personal ATC holder with baseball card pocket pages. You used the fabric just like you did, but you put a layer of the cotton batting on the outside of the whole binder underneath the fabric. We then used matching fabric on the inside so that it no longer looked like a basic three ring binder. I am NOT a woman who can sew much at all, but this was very easy and I was really pleased with the result. Your sweet "harmonica" journal made me think of it and I just love how yours turned out. I also think that you did a bang up job on pronouncing harmonica as well. English is a hard language to learn and you do terrific with it and your lovely accent and is always a pleasure to hear.

    Hi there,a new, wonderful way to bind my pages together, thank you, Marta. I love this method because with my glue gun, a cereal box, and some paper, I'm basically good to go. Watching the glitches (cheap tape, difficult book cover), you have cleared the way for others who can learn about the tough issues and hopefully bypass them (I think I'll gesso and paint my cover instead-lol). Wonderful outcome and fun seeing your "break a page" series. Jane

    Yay, managed to watch this!! It's funny as I haven't thought about creating book covers since school days (many many many.... years ago😹). We HAD to cover every single one (& there were loads) of our text books, to protect them. Yes, it was a rule, not optional.
    A lot of mine were done using leftover wallpaper.
    Using fabric looks beautiful and the binding works extremely well! I bought some fabric glue but haven't used it yet. Maybe I can think about making a journal like this? It will probably be blank pages as anything I've made before won't be the same size. Wow, I am so inspired by this, Marta. How glad am I, to have taken the time to watch your video? Very very glad!!

    I have watched this over and over, because it caught my interest. I was afraid to try it, though, because once you commit your pages to that tape, that is it. I belong to Art Journal Prompts-hosted by Nina Ribena. Each of my pages are single 6x7 pages that I have been putting three holes in and holding them together with three metal rings, (I dislike the metal rings) and decided to put my weeks together using your accordion method. I used 4.5x11" strips of scrapbook paper folded into half and then half again. How scary the process was, but it turned out well. I still will have to add weeks 22-26 when they are done, but I am not afraid now. I will do the final bind when the 26th week is done. That will make 26 weeks out of 52 and then I will do the same with the remaining 26 weeks in book 2.
    Thank you so much for demonstrating this method and repeating the mantra "Don't be afraid, be brave."

    Oh, Marta! You're so adorable. I've been watching your more recent tutorials and then I stumbled across this little gem. I adore your spirit for learning, your artistic eye, your lovely voice and accent in speaking English. To me, it is very soothing. You are absolutely precious. I love your audience, too. They are all so sweet and supportive. I think from now on, I too shall call accordians harmonicas!
