I have been wanting to start my own stationary business and all the other tutorials were not as helpful as yours. You actually showed us how to do it by hand if we do not have all those fancy machines. THANK YOU!
Aw I’m so glad it was helpful to you! I found when I was starting out that there was very little information when you don’t have a load of equipment so I’m glad I was able to share!
Hi 👋
How it going?!
i wish it succeed 🥰
True
How was your business?
@@anamariagarzon376 I was not able to get started in the business 😣 but thank you for asking 😊 the idea of starting is still in the back of my head though
You absolute gem! Thank you so much for sharing your process with us. This was so useful and to the point! Can’t wait for your other tutorials.
Aw I’m so glad! I was worried the beginning was a bit waffley but I know some of the information would be useful to some people! I spent a fortune testing different materials so hopefully this will save people that cost!!
Is the needle process will still work for a thicker pages let say around 80 pages? Thank you.
You’re my favorite art small business RUclipsr. I just started the video but I’m so excited to learn!
ahh thank you so much!! What a lovely comment. I hope you find it helpful!
I came across this video whilst researching note taking techniques for my Msc Mental Health nursing course and all I can say is thank you. I always believed making your own notebooks would be difficult but you explained it in a way which anyone could understand. Thank you again.
Appreciate how super personalized your notebooks are. Thanks for showing us the whole process. Learned a lot.
Even though I'm not owning a business now but I have always loved seeing you walking us through your process of making your items! You're always so thoughtful about each and everything, which makes me feel really happy to look at! I would love to see another video from you soon💞🦔
Aw thank you Angus!! That’s so lovely to hear! I definitely want to make more of these videos, I hope everyone found it useful! 💛
The best tutorial I've ever watched. Very informative and clear. Got so many pointers that, those very important ones that I haven't seen in other tutorials. Great thanks.
Oh yay! So glad it helped. I actually have a more up to date tutorial with more pointers that I’ve learnt in the past few years! ❤️
This is an absolutely I mean absolutely great instructional video. The best I’ve seen for anything! and I’ve watched all sorts. Well done young lady.
Oh and the person who made the book press, genious😀
Beautiful tutorial Meg! I definitely want to get into making these in 2021 for my shop! Thanks for sharing all you've learnt x
Thank you!! So glad it was useful - CANT wait to see your designs next year! 😍
Another great video - this answered so many questions I had, and better yet, ones I didn't even know to ask.
Amazing help I’ve been needing!! ❤❤❤ I thought I had to have more costly supplies to make them. Never knew how they did the staples in the spine.
Thank you for this video... It gives me more ideas to do when I'm bored.... And it's easy..
It's very helpful to me since i am planning to start my notebook business.
How are you doing now?
This is such an amazing tutorial! I really love your attention to detail and really love the little illustrations you’ve included in the lines paper! I’ve been searching for a matte lamination film like that, that can be shipped to the US for a few days now! If anyone has some recommendations that would be so so helpful!
This is a fabulous tutourial, thank you. It's so nice to see detailed instruction from the UK as usually the links supplied is US tutourials are not good unless they ship worldwide. Thanks so much. New subby here! 🥰
Thank You Meg, Downtown Motown Checking In and we appreciate you!!!
Excellent tutorial, watching from Australia in Perth :)
Thank you so much and I loved your video and transparency about the tools and materials that you use. I will continue to watch your videos.
Really helpful, I’ve just done some notebooks for my daughter to give to her team members for Christmas, you’re video will definitely help me do them better next time! Thanks Meg 💕💫
Aw thank you Debbie! I’m sure your notebooks are beautiful! It’s always extra special to give a handmade gift! Good luck on the next batch! 😍
Such a great tutorial
What a great tip about the margins, will keep that in mind if I ever print notebooks
I loooove that book press! Especially with the pretty sticker collection 🎀
Hehehe I had fun decorating it! 😍
Definitely a new subscriber.
After struggling with many ( soooooooooooo many 😏) projects I gave up trying to figure how to create books that would be acceptable to sell!
Now, after watching your tutorial I’m ready to re visit my projects and ALL the unfinished books I started and begin making my books with confidence🤗🤗🤗
The information and guidance you gave on the supplies you used will be a great help to me ......as before my struggle was purchasing good reliable supplies that would last the test of time. The paper information...... very helpful ......
I have been researching to purchase an eco tank printer and now I will look at the one you use to help me buy the one best for my needs!
Also the cutter information was a big factor........again making it easier for me to decide .
You made it seem very easy and at the same time gave lots of tips on what to and what not to do.
Thank you for sharing🥰
Such a good video! Maybe the best tutorial I've seen! Great detail and love that it included the various methods available at each stage. Thank you!!
Wow that’s quite a compliment Emily!! Thank you so much. I’m sure some people prefer tutorials that just get straight to the point but when I was doing a lot of trial and error I found that I had to watch a hundred tutorials for all the different steps/advice so wanted to put it all in one! Thanks for the lovely comment 💛
Thanks!! Very useful and your designs are very pretty 😍 love it!!
Practice makes perfect. Thanks for the lovely video!
This was so helpful! Some great advice! Thanks for sharing 💜
You're so awesome . This is the one I've been looking for ! because I'm trying to make my own planner business .
Another great video, you're such a natural. Keep up the good work, well done you x
Thank you!! 😍😍😍
Thank you for this wonderful video, it's very helpful. I love collecting notebook, and now I want to try it for business because they say it is better to do business that you are passionate of.
I just purchased your brush and I am soooo happy. Thank you.
Yay!! I’m so happy you love it! If you have time, feel free to leave a star rating by heading back to my Gumroad…it really really helps! And don’t forget to tag me on Instagram with your artwork so I can share to my stories ❤️❤️❤️
I see Your sewing needles came in handy!! 📌📍 ✂️
Loved it!! Sorry about your nail 😩 I’ve done this to my nail before. Here’s a tip to protect it. Cut a piece of a tea bag enough to cover the portion of your damaged nail. Use nail glue to apply the tea bag material onto your nail. Once it dries file down any rough edges. It’ll protect your nail until it grows out! Hope this helps!!!
Oh my goodness i wish I’d known this earlier on 😆 it’s sooo close to growing off now and only has a tiny way to go, but it’s been a complete pain in the bottom! I keep catching it 😔 great top of it happens again (although I hope it doesn’t haha 😆)
Gosh this is so good and in-depth, well done! xx
Thank you so much for sharing such great tips!!
hi Fizh, let me introduce myself, Arif from Indonesia, I have a few questions to ask:
1. How long have you been making note books and others?
2. How much does it cost to make one book?
3. Did you make a profit in selling the note book?
4. do you post every post on the etsi marketplace with various image design models?
5. Aren't you afraid of competing with large notebook companies, which are mostly mass-produced so the price can be cheap?
6. What is the specialty of the notebook you made so that many castemers are interested in buying your note book?
maybe this is just a question from me, I hope you don't mind answering my question because I will start a small business like this at home
thank you
Terrific tutorial! Great job Meg
So incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for the whole tutorial Meg, it's been really helpful; saved me hours of watching random youtube videos on notebook making hahaha
Thank you Denisa! I really wanted to make a tutorial with as many stages/advice I could think of! So hopefully people find it useful! 💛💛💛
This is really helpful, thank you very much!
I thought this was just a simple DIY. Wow. This is amazing and beautiful. And likely outside my scope. :)
Thank you!! I actually have a more up to date version if you search notebook tutorial you should see another one - I go into more detail 😍 thanks for the lovely comment!
I suggest using an awl to make holes.
I am going to start my sticker buisness in 2021 and this was more then helpful. I watched a few videos of yours and I think it is awesome that you talk about you printer, paper and other materials. Its something I do not come across so often :) Especially the failures u encounter and how that makes you feel. So I subbed to you.
Thanks so much for this tutorial!!

Wonderful tutorial!! *subscribed*

Can't wait for your new designs. I was already thinking of ordering the Pride & Prejudice one for Christmas, but now I will wait a little longer to see your new stuff :-)
I find your videos so helpful
Ay ay AYYYY. Now i can make notebooks for my small business. Thank youu

Thank you for this tutorial.
You’re welcome! I just uploaded a more recent video if you want to have a watch - I’ve learnt a lot in the past few years so made an updated video! 😻
Lovely notebook, thank you for sharing
What laser printer you have been looking for one and them prints on it are great
Very valuable I learned so much
Amazing helpful tutorial
Thank you!! So glad it was helpful 😍
This was a great tutorial! I love the idea of putting foam in the bulldog clips! I've tried little bits of cardboard but it doesn't work that great.
I’m so glad you liked it! Yeah the foam works quite well because the bulldog clip sort of sticks to it so it doesn’t move around! 💛
Great video! Keep it up 👌👌👌❤
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it 😍
I'd be happy and grateful if you answer my question. Is it possible to stape 5 pieces of laminated paper together?
Wow, love all the process. A big guilhotine is on my wishlist. I bought a magnetic stapler and is easier to put the staples now. More videos like this, please. 😉
Great video! TFS.
An excellent tutorial F&F! Very informative and filmage,
Ahh thank you so much Bev! I love the word filmage so it’s now officially a word 😆
I remember haaving to do this for my Graphic Design class, lol
Hi did graphic design help with your art skills? I’m thinking about studying but have no idea if I study do illustration or graphic design. If graphic design does help improve with my art skills I’d definitely choose it.
@@hey-zel I would choose graphic design since a lot of people who took illustration and regret it since they were never taught how to market their art. Graphic Design put me in a creative environment that helped me get into art in the first place.
@@SwanCreates cool thanks. And yes I’ve researched a little both and have seen a lot of others choose graphic design but just wanted someone who’s taken the class’s opinion. Thank you!
ah loved this videoooo! reminds me of when i was at uni! :)
How did you add lines on pages? And the guidelines to leave space at the point of fold?
Really thank you ❤️
You’re very welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
This was so great!!!
Thank you for this !
I’m glad you found it helpful! 💛
Really awesome video
Do you have a video on designing the inside pages?
thank you so so much for this!!!
Wow just brilliant 🥳
very informative, thank you!
Thank you for the lovely comment! Glad you found it helpful ☺️
Thats really helpful. Thanks🥰
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful!
This is a great tutorial. Please share where you get your covers when you don't make them yourself. Thanks!
Thanks, u r so great ❤️
Very helpful video 👍
Thanks you so much for you video, is so useful for me
So glad it was helpful!! 😍
Thank you so much for this video! After pondering whether I had to outsource them or not, now I'm trying to change the cover to some notebooks I bought (very very sneaky 😆) However, I was still considering making the A6 notebooks from scratch and I'm going to buy that super ruler! I hope those are amazon affiliate link so you'll get some money! ❤️
Ahh I’m so glad it was useful to you!! I had also thought of buying notebooks and re-covering them - a great time saver! It works out a little more expensive per notebook but would be worth your time! That ruler is amazing - it’s the only wide ruler I could find that had the grip bottom. It’s come in so useful. They’re not affiliate links but maybe I should add that 😆
@Fizz and Flourish aah yes, you should do the affiliation with Amazon 😎 I look forward to trying that ruler!! So I can evaluate what's best for myself 💪 thanks again!
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for sharing!! I really appreciate this
Super! Thanks for sharing. I was so looking forward to your next video. I really love watching you and your progress. And BIG THANK YIU for this very helpful tutorial :) Hope to see another one soon :)
Aw thank you Hedi! So glad you enjoyed it - hopefully people find it helpful!! 💛💛💛
Lots of info thanks 💕 love ur videoes
Yay! So glad it was useful to you Yasmin! 💛
You can now buy a scorer for the fiskars paper cutters, too.
So do you order the cover prints or do it yourself? I’ve been hesitant but this video does help a lot!!
So o now order the covers because I don’t have enough time to make the covers from scratch - if you skip to the end of the video i show a comparison of the two ☺️ I’m glad you found it helpful though! 😍
Great video, just out of interest which company do you use to get them manufactured?
