Great video! Thanks for all the tips. 2 questions/tips/suggestions for you: 1) Would using a digital scale to measure out the paper work accurately enough instead of counting out a stack for each notebook? If the weight is consistent, it would be easy enough and quicker to measure out ___ amount for each type of notebook. And 2) they make staples and staplers that press completely flat- it would completely take out step and the need to press every staple flat. Swingline makes a stapler that does this - the model I have is #S7087842 and it uses S.F.3 staples. But this stapler has a regular depth. Not sure if one of these types comes in the extended arm like you have though or if you could pop out the current stapler and add in a different one (?). Love seeing your work and how you put it all together. 💕💕
You’re a very kind and generous person. Sharing your “technique” of your creation with a smile and gentle remarks. Thank you and wish you plenty of success.
Thank you so much this is the sweetest comment 🥺 it really does! And I really mean if, I love all the process. So knowing you love it as well and the final product makes me even happier 💛
19:06 - just in case nobody has mentioned yet (I scrolled but couldn't see it mentioned), the white plastic part on your stapler is a stopper that you can adjust so you can line up your paper to it's edge and staple in the same place over and over.
Oooooohhhh...thank you so much for that information. I really thought it was simply to adjust the width for opening the stapler so it is adjusted for each stack of paper. I was so wrong 😆. But bow I know. Thank you for sharing 😊
The Best Buy and most treasured tool in my craft room is a Teflon bone folder- it’s a game changer. They vary hugely in price, but book binding suppliers seem to have cheapest . I can not recommend highly enough. People have no clue the hard work that goes into hand made items, your video gives a great window into the whole process. Thank you for all your time sharing it. X

Hello ! May I ask what you enjoy about the Teflon bone folder compared to the « normal » long thin ones ? I saw it has another shape but I was wondering why it’s a game changer. Thanks ! 😊
I would love to to do this! I worked at Office Depot at the Copy Center for several years, and LOVED making projects, spiral bound booklets, organizing binders, designing and printing flyers, invitations, work order/invoice forms, and so many things. I just loved it
Not only are you super talented and smart when it comes to making those notebooks, you know a thing or two about video editing and production by matching the right music to the scene, etc. Love your video and will come back to watch more of them. Thank you for sharing.
You can actually switch around the red part on your guillotine. There's a screw at the bottom that holds the red wood in place. Just leaving this in case you didn't know. Great video ❤
Vendo pela primeira vez e pensando "essa americana tem um sotaque que parece brasileiro falando inglês" .... Aí descobri que ela é portuguesa!! 😂😂😂😍😍😍 Amei, vou ver mais videos seus!!!!
@@aPenasIllustrator 28.50 you can rotate it. Or buy a new one. Mi ingles horrible quiere decir: la bara roja de tope se puede sacar y rotar... incluso se vende repuesto! Gran video!!!!
Such a good tutorial! I actually watched it while making my own notebooks hehe For the red mat thing (I don't know what it's called haha) on your guillotine, you can turn that around to a clean/new side and not have to use the cardboard. Underneath your machine, there are two small black screws, take those out and you'll be able to take the red thing out and turn it around - you can reuse it 8 times. I've done mine earlier today actually and it's just like new!
Yay, hope it helps you 😍 I already got some messages about it, I tried it in the past but didn't knew how to take it out. Thank you so much, going to do that for sure 🥰🥰
Ótimo vídeo! Sobre a guilhotina, você consegue virar a base vermelha. É só tirar o parafuso da parte de baixo, levantar a base vermelha, virar e encaixar de novo. Também já machuquei a mão na lamina e comecei a usar um papelão grosso pra empurrar.
I really appreciate your hardwork and the love you put in making each and every notebook. I love the way you talk with the kindness and politeness in your each and every word. Keep going Rockstar! and I wish May you get bless you with plenty of success. Love you! ❤️✨

Muchas gracias por el tutorial. Hello, I'm watching you from Chile, it really shows that you love doing this and you put all your effort into it.

I think you don't know how encouraging your videos are to me and i think i'm not alone 👌🏻🙈 But you just made me feel that starting my own business is not that impossible 👌🏻👌🏻 Thank u ❤️🙏🏻💞
Wow! This was really helpful. I often wondered how to get my books even and it never works as easy as I saw it now through the last cutting machine you used. I wish I could get one of those. Thank you so much for sharing. Your work is beautiful. I know how much work goes into making home made notebooks. I make traveling journals and so I know. Thank you again for sharing. You are truly gifted and you have a sweet spirit. God bless you. Sending hugs. :)
Hey, I might be late for this and maybe someone else told you, but if you are still struggling with the big paper cutter, try to lengthen the lever arm. You could find a metal tube or build an extension for the lever, whatever works for you. Even an extension of 20-30cm will reduce the effort considerably. The longer the lever arm the more effortless it will be! Other than that, I loved the video, the notebooks, the process and the illustrations, you're really good at what you do :) I wish you all the best in you future ♥️
Hiii! Oh thanks for letting me know! Never thought of that… but it needs to fit the machine I think? It’s already so dangerous I’m always concerned 😂 thank you so much, really means the world! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for showing us your process in which I am truly appreciative. I realized, from your video, that I needed to add 3 scorelines instead of 2 in the center to accomodate the bulk from the papers. What a simple fix to the cracking spine! You've earned a new subscriber! Hugs from Villa Rica, GA! ☀🌴🏖I am late posting this comment but nevertheless.
I have been looking for a stapler just like this and could not find any and gave up. Thank you so much, I knew that they must exist! I am so envious of all the tools you have!
Thank you for this tutorial. It reminded me of me and my cousin which we tried making notebooks to sell. We didn't sell any but it was fun making them.
How delightful you are! Thank you for the detailed tutorial. You make the process easy to understand and I may actually try this after considering for a very long time. Most especially, thank you for the details on the guillotine cutter! I have this exact machine but haven’t used it because the instructions were nonsensical. You made it easy to understand. The cutter has been in my studio for 4 months…untouched! I’m going to try it tomorrow. I’m binging your videos now. Thank you!
😹😹the little hammer is called a toffee hammer it’s used to brake up homemade toffee😹😹 or the old fashion toffee sheets that you use to be able to buy a few years ago, pre 1990’s 😹😹 As a bookbinder you have explained it very well as well as showing how you made them🤗🤗
That is so cool!!! Thank you so much for letting me know eheheh. My dad had it for years but didn't knew where we got 😂 Thank you so much for the sweet words, that's very nice to know!
@@aPenasIllustrator your welcome 🤗🤗, I have a toffee hammer which me own Dad gave me when I needed a light weight hammer for one of my many hobbies. I remember when we use to make peanut and toffee brittle he bought the hammer from the sweet shop so we could brake the brittle without smashing it as a normal hammer would do🙀
I make a lot of stickers for my self (most of them are copy-righted or specific to my need so I don't sale them) and I have a suggestion. It might be better to use paper larger than A0 (talking about some extra 2cm on each side) to have proper bleed region around every covers/objects so that the graphics extend to the edge of the cover and even a millimeter of screwup in cutting won't make the cover look weird. Given that you have one of those large paper cutters (what is that called 😅), one trick I do is manually trim 2 adjacent side to compensate for printing error and then align all the sheets on those 2 side and use a paper cutter to cut a stack at once. Also, my system for cutting complex shape is: I would put black trim marks and a red line between trim marks so that I am clear about which trim mark should I reference and where I need, and more importantly should not, cut.
OMG!! Love your video, so relaxing. I want to start making notebooks and your video has made me see it's not that complicated, thank you so much. I had a quick question, do you use the edges you cut last as shipping material? They look like the paper stuff you add when shipping.
Thank you so much, hope it helps! If you find anything on the process that you can't do, let me know! I don't but that's actually a nice idea! I was saving some to make recicled paper, but that's even better. I'll start putting them in a box eheheh. Thank you so much for the tip! 🥰🥰💛
This is my first time on your channel and when I saw your cheery face it gave me a calm happy feeling. And your accent is really nice to listen to. Thanks for making great content. :)
Hi, great video. I am a paper -lover and love making a variety of types and sizes of notepads, notebooks, journals, etc. You name it, I've probably made it! I have the same heavy duty paper-trimmer. Here's a a tip: you can get four times the usage from the red rubber cutting pad the blade cuts into. Once the cutting path is too wide, just take it out and rotate 180 degrees. Once that cutting path is too wide, just flip the cutting pad over, use, and rotate again when needed--helps your cutting pad last four times as long. Happy notebook making! 😃
Hiii thank you so much 🥰 I've had some comments that you can take it out by taking out the screws below the machine, I still couldn't make it, but I will for sure 💛 thank you!
OMG so my crafting interests range all over the place, and i just rewatched this video recently and laughed again at how you asked for something to press the staples down with, and your dad just gave you something you didn’t know about (like many dads do 😂). THEN the same day I happened to watch a jewelry making video that for the first time had a similar tool! I believe they said it’s a jeweler’s hammer. The one in the jewelry video I saw is a different style, but it seems to just be for aesthetic purposes. So now you can include this in your supplies in the description if you like… Love this video, super helpful and insightful. Thank you VERY much for showing us your process for your adorable stationery 🥹💕
You are a life saver.... I was trying to figure out an easier cutting process, which you gracefully showed us all! Thanks a MILLION!!! Liked and subscribed
I have the same type of guillotine, you can actually turn and reinsert the red part, you have 4 sides to it you can use. You can take it out and replace it too.
Seu trabalho transmite tanta leveza e alegria! Quando assisto seus vídeos sinto tanta falta dos cadernos que produzia pra vender, também trabalho com papelaria e seus vídeos me inspiram 🥰 uma dica que talvez ajude a agilizar o processo: para não precisar contar as folhas, conte e pese pra ver quantos gramas da, depois utilize como medida, se der 80g 50 folhas, sempre que pesar e obter esse peso é sina que possui a mesma quantidade de folhas que precisa, assim você na precisa contar uma por uma 🙂 espero que tenha dado para entender, sucesso!
Muito obrigada!! Fazer cadernos trás felicidade eheh Obrigada!! Desde que publiquei este video imensa gente falou sobre isso e comecei a pesar as folhas! Acelarou imenso o processo :)
Hi, I'm from Puerto Rico, this is my first time watching one of your videos and I loved it! I can see it's a lot of work but you definitively do a great job, your notebooks are beautiful. Congratulations and hope your business keeps growing bigger and bigger every day. Thank you for sharing and God bless you! 🙋👏🥰
Lovely tutorial! I always get scare when I see you working on that glass table and pressing with the staples. I’m afraid that glass plate is gonna break! 😬 Of course I hope that never happens 🤗
Ahahah I never thought of that! But don't worry, the glass is super super thick! 😊 It works perfectly as a working table for that eheh. Thank you for watching 🥰
Thank you for sharing how you make your notebooks. Your process is really interesting. ☺ Your notebooks are very cutesy. 🥰 I make glued notebooks quite a lot for my journals and wanted to see how this was done. 😍 Your printer looks really good... and I might invest in on like it when we need a new one. 🤩 😇Suggestion - If you use a finger cot (or cut the finger off of a tight-fitting disposable glove) on your "counting" finger, it will make it easier to count your sheets. 😇 🤗 I went to your web page, but couldn't see the words to be able to find things. I'm older and have poor eyesight, so a light colour on white makes things really hard to see. This is just a comment... not a criticism. 🥰
Thank you so much! I admire your patience. You did an amazing job. Great video. I usually put long videos on speed mode but I simply enjoyed the show at normal speed. Thanks again!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I bought a ton of materials for notebooks this weekend. I was so excited to try it out. But the notebooks didn’t look like I wanted at all. You’ve saved me a ton more trial and error. Thanks again
I believe the one that I use is only available in Europe! I tried to check the link and is working, maybe that's why! I bought it two years ago, so I only have the link, don't know exactly the brand. But send me a message on ig and I'll send you the link from Amazon Spain where I bought it 😊
this would literaly be my dream job to make notebooks, notepads and stickers but . . . for the life of me i cant design or draw enything and i have tried for years to practice, i can barely draw a heart . . .
You can look on Etsy for pattern paper under what is called SVG or PNG files which will be digital download. ( search : pattern paper SVG) Look in the seller information on that item and check to see if they allow their image to be use for commercial use. It will also state if they allow unlimited use or an exact amount to use before u have to repurchase the license. Majority of the files are around 1-2 bucks (U.S.) and I’ve noticed the pattern paper is in a bundle and is usually around 5 bucks (U.S.) sometimes more or less. Just search and u will see a lot of beautiful pattern paper that u can print on card stock paper or paper that is a little thinner or the paper she was using in the video. There are many free sites that can convert the SVG/PNG to J-PEG format. These specific files are used for people who use die cutting machines. Like the you tuber said, don’t give up💕 I cannot draw at all. I am still starting my business . Good luck
Thank you for your videos. I had started on my mini notebooks months ago. I was disheartened and than after watching your videos, I had seen that you faced the same problems that I had. I have just recently finished stapling up my mini notebooks and cleaned up the edges. I am super stoked with how they had turned out. So again I thank you so very much for your time and sharing your videos. :D
Hi sis ! i was finding for notebook i saw many videos but I can't understand but then I scroll down then I saw ur video . And wanna say tysm ❤️. You did hard work. Well done sis
Nice Video. I have started making books and notebooks recently and I also have a large paper cutter. I do something with it that might help you when you are pressing. I will take a book and place t in the cutter and set the back stop where the spine of the book will be directly below the clamp of the cutter and clamp the spine for just a minute or so and that seems to make the spine lay flatter for me. Just thought I would pass this on to you and see if it would work for you as well. Happy publishing!
Thank you for this video! This really helps a lot. I’m hoping to start my handmade stationery business during the 1st Quarter of 2023. You are an inspiration 💗
Absolutely loved your video!! I am also an illustrator, based in India, I have a stationery business, I have been get wiro notebooks made, was looking on how to make stapled notebooks, thank you for this video, cheers, good connecting with you!!
You are so young and talented! So, you sell them in a store? It sounds like English is your second best language, you remind me my niece from Puerto Rico and she had your beautiful accent as well! Thanks for the tutorial, I enjoyed a lot. It was very well explained! I love hand crafting, but I definitely will make at least one notebook for myself, Jehovah’s willing, because it is too much to do it without the “helpers” from Amazon, yes, the ones I don’t have🤣, but your suggestions of exacto knife, ruler and books as press are GREAT! Thanks again!
This is my first time watching and I’m OBSESSED! I really enjoyed this video and it was soooooo satisfying and I’m like “omg I wish I could work with her”
Wow. Dts great. I loved the video. Wanted to start a plantable notebook business. Want to start by buying it from somewhere but later on will swtich to the materials which you told. Very helpful. Thank you for the information 😊
I have just found you, what a wonderful tutorial, you are without a doubt a true philanthropist and a wonderful educator, thank you. I have never tried to make a notebook but I am going to have a little go now. Thank you so much 💜
Thank you very much for this video. You gave me a few tips that I don't currently do. Thank you for that. I wanted to give you a tip regarding the cutter. You should be able to remove the red bar and flip it. You should have 8 spaces that can be used on that red bar (two on each face). Also, you can replace them. I didn't realize that at first and it's been a life saver.
Hi! On 29:05 you can actually remove the red thing and turn it around so you could have a nice cut under the paper! I also use the same ream cutter for my notepads! I hope it helped!

Great video! Thanks for all the tips. 2 questions/tips/suggestions for you: 1) Would using a digital scale to measure out the paper work accurately enough instead of counting out a stack for each notebook? If the weight is consistent, it would be easy enough and quicker to measure out ___ amount for each type of notebook. And 2) they make staples and staplers that press completely flat- it would completely take out step and the need to press every staple flat.

The best video on how to make a notebook. That guillotine cutter is everything 🤩 And lots of hardwork from your side 👏
Thank you so much for all the love! :D
How delightful you are! Thank you for the detailed tutorial. You make the process easy to understand and I may actually try this after considering for a very long time. Most especially, thank you for the details on the guillotine cutter! I have this exact machine but haven’t used it because the instructions were nonsensical. You made it easy to understand. The cutter has been in my studio for 4 months…untouched! I’m going to try it tomorrow. I’m binging your videos now. Thank you!
Omg YEEES, glad my video made you go for it! Please try It and send me some photos on IG, I would love to see it eheh :D GOOD LUCK!
😹😹the little hammer is called a toffee hammer it’s used to brake up homemade toffee😹😹 or the old fashion toffee sheets that you use to be able to buy a few years ago, pre 1990’s 😹😹
As a bookbinder you have explained it very well as well as showing how you made them🤗🤗
That is so cool!!! Thank you so much for letting me know eheheh. My dad had it for years but didn't knew where we got 😂
Thank you so much for the sweet words, that's very nice to know!
@@aPenasIllustrator your welcome 🤗🤗, I have a toffee hammer which me own Dad gave me when I needed a light weight hammer for one of my many hobbies. I remember when we use to make peanut and toffee brittle he bought the hammer from the sweet shop so we could brake the brittle without smashing it as a normal hammer would do🙀
Thank you so much for sharing all your tips and tricks! I love all of your cover designs. It seems like such a relaxing process once you get into it
Thank you so much!! I'm very happy to be able to share with you 💛 it is, is one of my favorite products to make, love the process!
I am so impress, you go girl! You make me want to make books because I love paper.
Thank you so much 🥰 you should definitely give it a try eheh
I don't like watching long videos but I watched every minute of yours, Its absolutely amazinngg! 😍😍
AAAAH, that's amazing!! Thank you so so much, that really means a lot! 🥰
I make a lot of stickers for my self (most of them are copy-righted or specific to my need so I don't sale them) and I have a suggestion.
It might be better to use paper larger than A0 (talking about some extra 2cm on each side) to have proper bleed region around every covers/objects so that the graphics extend to the edge of the cover and even a millimeter of screwup in cutting won't make the cover look weird. Given that you have one of those large paper cutters (what is that called 😅), one trick I do is manually trim 2 adjacent side to compensate for printing error and then align all the sheets on those 2 side and use a paper cutter to cut a stack at once.
Also, my system for cutting complex shape is: I would put black trim marks and a red line between trim marks so that I am clear about which trim mark should I reference and where I need, and more importantly should not, cut.
I don’t think you meant A0, that’s a very big paper! I print boarderless so the graphics do extend to the edge of the cover 🥰
OMG!! Love your video, so relaxing. I want to start making notebooks and your video has made me see it's not that complicated, thank you so much. I had a quick question, do you use the edges you cut last as shipping material? They look like the paper stuff you add when shipping.
Thank you so much, hope it helps! If you find anything on the process that you can't do, let me know! I don't but that's actually a nice idea! I was saving some to make recicled paper, but that's even better. I'll start putting them in a box eheheh. Thank you so much for the tip! 🥰🥰💛
This is my first time on your channel and when I saw your cheery face it gave me a calm happy feeling. And your accent is really nice to listen to. Thanks for making great content. :)
Omg can't tell you how much that means to me! Thank you for being so lovely! 🥺
Hi, great video. I am a paper -lover and love making a variety of types and sizes of notepads, notebooks, journals, etc. You name it, I've probably made it! I have the same heavy duty paper-trimmer. Here's a a tip: you can get four times the usage from the red rubber cutting pad the blade cuts into. Once the cutting path is too wide, just take it out and rotate 180 degrees. Once that cutting path is too wide, just flip the cutting pad over, use, and rotate again when needed--helps your cutting pad last four times as long. Happy notebook making! 😃
Hiii thank you so much 🥰 I've had some comments that you can take it out by taking out the screws below the machine, I still couldn't make it, but I will for sure 💛 thank you!
You look so happy!! It makes me smile 😊And I'm grateful for this tutorial, definitely subbed and liked.
Aww thank you so much!! 😍
That is so cool! Thank you for this tutorial. Your notebooks are beautiful!
Thank you so much lovely, that's very sweet of you 🥰💛
OMG so my crafting interests range all over the place, and i just rewatched this video recently and laughed again at how you asked for something to press the staples down with, and your dad just gave you something you didn’t know about (like many dads do 😂). THEN the same day I happened to watch a jewelry making video that for the first time had a similar tool! I believe they said it’s a jeweler’s hammer. The one in the jewelry video I saw is a different style, but it seems to just be for aesthetic purposes. So now you can include this in your supplies in the description if you like… Love this video, super helpful and insightful. Thank you VERY much for showing us your process for your adorable stationery 🥹💕
Aaaah thank you so much! My dad is not around anymore so I can't ask what's the hammer about. Glad to know a little more about it 💛
So sorry to hear about your dad. Hope all is well 💜
You are a life saver.... I was trying to figure out an easier cutting process, which you gracefully showed us all! Thanks a MILLION!!! Liked and subscribed
Yay, glad to help! Thank you so much for watching! :D
I have the same type of guillotine, you can actually turn and reinsert the red part, you have 4 sides to it you can use. You can take it out and replace it too.
Thanks lovely! I already got some comments and those, going to try to change it tomorrow 🥰✨
Seu trabalho transmite tanta leveza e alegria! Quando assisto seus vídeos sinto tanta falta dos cadernos que produzia pra vender, também trabalho com papelaria e seus vídeos me inspiram 🥰 uma dica que talvez ajude a agilizar o processo: para não precisar contar as folhas, conte e pese pra ver quantos gramas da, depois utilize como medida, se der 80g 50 folhas, sempre que pesar e obter esse peso é sina que possui a mesma quantidade de folhas que precisa, assim você na precisa contar uma por uma 🙂 espero que tenha dado para entender, sucesso!
Muito obrigada!! Fazer cadernos trás felicidade eheh
Obrigada!! Desde que publiquei este video imensa gente falou sobre isso e comecei a pesar as folhas! Acelarou imenso o processo :)
Hi, I'm from Puerto Rico, this is my first time watching one of your videos and I loved it! I can see it's a lot of work but you definitively do a great job, your notebooks are beautiful. Congratulations and hope your business keeps growing bigger and bigger every day. Thank you for sharing and God bless you! 🙋👏🥰
Omg I'm so exciteddddd! 47 minutesss.... It's the ✨anxiety ✨for me😂😋💖
AAAAH, glad you are here! Can't wait 😍⭐⭐
lovely tutorial! felt so lucky to have found your channel :)
That's so sweet, so happy to have you here 💛🥰
I have all of this paper laying around and felt so disappointed..... thanks for excellent instructions!!!! I L-O-V-E it!!!!!
These are so cute! I work in a preschool and I will create some for our daily journaling thank you for sharing
Aaah that's so exciting! I would love to see some pictures afterwards 😍
Thank you for sharing your technique. It's very helpful for us to start the notebook making journey.
Love everything you've shown! Great process and super cute notebooks!!
Thank you so much, that really means a lot! 🥰
Lovely tutorial! I always get scare when I see you working on that glass table and pressing with the staples. I’m afraid that glass plate is gonna break! 😬 Of course I hope that never happens 🤗
Ahahah I never thought of that! But don't worry, the glass is super super thick! 😊 It works perfectly as a working table for that eheh. Thank you for watching 🥰
Thank you for sharing how you make your notebooks. Your process is really interesting. ☺ Your notebooks are very cutesy. 🥰 I make glued notebooks quite a lot for my journals and wanted to see how this was done. 😍 Your printer looks really good... and I might invest in on like it when we need a new one. 🤩
😇Suggestion - If you use a finger cot (or cut the finger off of a tight-fitting disposable glove) on your "counting" finger, it will make it easier to count your sheets. 😇
🤗 I went to your web page, but couldn't see the words to be able to find things. I'm older and have poor eyesight, so a light colour on white makes things really hard to see. This is just a comment... not a criticism. 🥰
Thank you so much! I admire your patience. You did an amazing job. Great video. I usually put long videos on speed mode but I simply enjoyed the show at normal speed. Thanks again!!!!
Aww thank you so much, that's very lovely of you and great to know! Thank you so much for watching 🥰🌸
Subbed u Dear , Awesome Upload
Thank you so much! 😍
This tutorial was so incredibly helpful, thank you!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊 💕
I’ve been looking for a video like this for years. Thank you, RUclips!!!
Thank you so much, that really means a lot! 🥰
Thank you so much for this video! I bought a ton of materials for notebooks this weekend. I was so excited to try it out. But the notebooks didn’t look like I wanted at all. You’ve saved me a ton more trial and error. Thanks again
Glad my video will help a bit 🥹 it was definitely a lot of back and forward until I was happy with the final result! Good luck 💛
I'm in the states. I'm having problems with your link. I was wondering what brand, make, model of guillotine do you use?
Thanks
I believe the one that I use is only available in Europe! I tried to check the link and is working, maybe that's why! I bought it two years ago, so I only have the link, don't know exactly the brand. But send me a message on ig and I'll send you the link from Amazon Spain where I bought it 😊
this would literaly be my dream job to make notebooks, notepads and stickers but . . . for the life of me i cant design or draw enything and i have tried for years to practice, i can barely draw a heart . . .
Keep trying lovely, if it's your dream don't give up, there's always a way. I truly believe if you really want something, we can make it happen 💛🥰
You can look on Etsy for pattern paper under what is called SVG or PNG files which will be digital download. ( search : pattern paper SVG) Look in the seller information on that item and check to see if they allow their image to be use for commercial use. It will also state if they allow unlimited use or an exact amount to use before u have to repurchase the license. Majority of the files are around 1-2 bucks (U.S.) and I’ve noticed the pattern paper is in a bundle and is usually around 5 bucks (U.S.) sometimes more or less. Just search and u will see a lot of beautiful pattern paper that u can print on card stock paper or paper that is a little thinner or the paper she was using in the video. There are many free sites that can convert the SVG/PNG to J-PEG format. These specific files are used for people who use die cutting machines. Like the you tuber said, don’t give up💕 I cannot draw at all. I am still starting my business . Good luck
THANK YOU, SO MUCH APENAS I TRULY WANT TO SAY THANKYOU FOR TEACHING ME, IM SO EXCITED TO START MY JOURNEY. I WILL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOU.
Thank you so much for watching!! Have fun :D
I love notebooks even more after seeing this and I respect your craft. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you for your videos. I had started on my mini notebooks months ago. I was disheartened and than after watching your videos, I had seen that you faced the same problems that I had. I have just recently finished stapling up my mini notebooks and cleaned up the edges. I am super stoked with how they had turned out. So again I thank you so very much for your time and sharing your videos. :D
Aaaah, this are the comments that makes it all worth it! Thank you so so much for letting me know and yay you for doing it 😍🌈
Thank you for taking the time and patience to explain everything. I love your voice, it’s soothing

Hi sis ! i was finding for notebook i saw many videos but I can't understand but then I scroll down then I saw ur video . And wanna say tysm ❤️. You did hard work. Well done sis
Thank you so much, really means a lot 💛
You make me appreciate hand made notebooks so much more now! Beautiful!
Thank you so much 😭🤗
Nice Video. I have started making books and notebooks recently and I also have a large paper cutter. I do something with it that might help you when you are pressing. I will take a book and place t in the cutter and set the back stop where the spine of the book will be directly below the clamp of the cutter and clamp the spine for just a minute or so and that seems to make the spine lay flatter for me. Just thought I would pass this on to you and see if it would work for you as well. Happy publishing!
That's a really nice tip, I'll definitely try it! Thank you so much! 😍
Thank you for this video! This really helps a lot. I’m hoping to start my handmade stationery business during the 1st Quarter of 2023. You are an inspiration 💗
Aaaah the best of luck for you, that's great! Thank you for watching :D

Absolutely loved your video!! I am also an illustrator, based in India, I have a stationery business, I have been get wiro notebooks made, was looking on how to make stapled notebooks, thank you for this video, cheers, good connecting with you!!
You are so young and talented! So, you sell them in a store? It sounds like English is your second best language, you remind me my niece from Puerto Rico and she had your beautiful accent as well! Thanks for the tutorial, I enjoyed a lot. It was very well explained! I love hand crafting, but I definitely will make at least one notebook for myself, Jehovah’s willing, because it is too much to do it without the “helpers” from Amazon, yes, the ones I don’t have🤣, but your suggestions of exacto knife, ruler and books as press are GREAT! Thanks again!
I hope your business is successful because I see the love and time you put into each notebook.
Thank you so much, that means a lot 😭

What a sweet comment, thank you so so much, that really means a lot! Good luck and have fun :D
I am new on your channel, this is my first video I see from you and I love your work and how cool is from you that you give all your tips.
Thank you so much🥰 I hope you enjoy my other videos eheh 🤗🌈
Thank you very much for this video. You gave me a few tips that I don't currently do. Thank you for that. I wanted to give you a tip regarding the cutter. You should be able to remove the red bar and flip it. You should have 8 spaces that can be used on that red bar (two on each face). Also, you can replace them. I didn't realize that at first and it's been a life saver.
Hey Erica! I'm glad it helped! 😊 I already managed to chamge it after this video, thank you so much for the tip! 😊
You’re very welcome! I had no idea it could be replaced and I was very frustrated and the simple flip saved my sanity 😊
Hi! On 29:05 you can actually remove the red thing and turn it around so you could have a nice cut under the paper! I also use the same ream cutter for my notepads! I hope it helped!
Hiii! Since this video I got some very lovely comments like yours and I already managed to flip it eheh. Thank you so much 💛
