I took one apart with an x-acto knife and it didn’t come out nearly as neatly as that - thanks for showing me that method. I covered up my messy spines with washi tape: tomoe river on its own is a little thin for discbound punching but I love writing on it! Next time I take one apart it’ll definitely be like this 😊
I love this, I will upcycle my unused pages at the end of this year and keep them for scrap notes snd blotting paper. Ibwas gling to throw the book away after transferring to my 10 year journal but let's be real, it's too expensive to just toss away a bunch of unused pages!
Thank you so much for watching! I would basically use them for whatever I feel like at that time. I have a ring binder that I will move the pages to after I’ve hole punched them. I think for the most part, the blank pages, are gonna be my random deep dives of manga that I read and for the pages that have the Japanese writing on, I’ll just use them for watercolor sketches 😊
Each sewn section is called a signature💜
Thank you!!! I knew it was called something significant 💜

I totally agree, I’ve had to sacrifice some paper to get this method perfected 🥲
Thanks for your method…I’ve been thinking the same with my cousin to transfer to rings. Happy journaling 🙃👍
Thank you for showing this! I'll start doing it the same way. ❤
You are welcome!!

Right? Especially if you still have the old Tomoe River Paper, its great to keep them!
Love the tip! I might try it with one of mine as well.
Just wondering, how do you plan to use those removed pages?
