  • My last Japanese stab binding tutorial was in 2012... I think it's time for a new one. I'll show you 3 classic patterns: Noble, Hemp Leaf and Tortoise Shell. These methods work great for single sheets of paper, no signatures and no glue required. I like to use them for home printed pages, swatch books and thin paper.

    These more detailed stab binding methods seem like they are meditative once you have the hang of it. They are pretty to watch come together. Thanks for the heads up on paper weight issues with this style.

    That brings some memories. 10 years ago, I think, I made a noble binded book for my boyfriend at the time. I'm an all diy things and found a tutorial on the internet. I love to make things. The book was full of images with love quotes that I found online.
    I'm proud of it. It had fake leather and cardboard cover, with noble binding. Sad thing is I do not have any pictures of it.

    I've been too mentally and physically unwell to create anything recently but this was easy to follow and detailed enough for me to try, and I cannot express how grateful I am. My floor is covered in paper scraps and I have not been happier in years.

    So pleased to see you've picked up on the Japanese bindings. I've seen your original video and have been searching through TH-cam for videos on stab binding but none of them are as clear as your one. So you can imagine how pleased I was to get the notification of this new video with 3 styles. Thank you!

  • @florencemagnoli
    @florencemagnoli 3 ปีที่แล้ว +44

    I was watching Kdrama and saw a bunch of books that where using this kind of binding, they all look so beautiful so they inspired me to make some. I was pplanning on watching your old videos on this topic to relearn it. Thank you for doing an updated version

  • @NHarts3
    @NHarts3 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Love the video! Glad you are updating some of the older videos. I particularly like Japanese binding because I actually find it easier than the other ones which require gluing and signatures. Those are still fun just more fiddly and time consuming 😊🌸
    A tip for doing the Japanese binding with thicker paper: you can perforate the sheets about a centimeter below the holes in the spine, and this makes it easier to open and close the book. I did this when making watercolour sketchbooks for my nieces with a plain Japanese binding. The books opened easy to each new page and it had the bonus of them being able to tear out their artwork easily if they wanted to. My paper trimmer comes with a perforation blade so I was able to do it quite easily.

  • @jeanradko5311

    That's probably the only disadvantage of Japanese bookbinding, that you can't make it thick or can't use thick paper, cause it will be hard to turn the pages over. I once tried to make a writer's journal with this method and it was thicker, and the paper was 120gsm. So I had to make lines where to fold each paper. It was a bit better, but still not as good as I would want it to be 😀

    • @emilymiller1728

    I did my first a couple years ago, using a lotus flower pattern I came up with myself. It was pretty, but I wasn't as fond of the way the cover turned out, as I used a chunky fake leather.

  • @NoeDactyl
    @NoeDactyl 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    YES! I love ur binding videos!
    Edit: BTW all those cuts between you looping the thread and flipping the book makes it super hard to know if the book cover is facing up or down. I'd rather the video be lenghtier and actually understand what you're doing rather than having to pause and go back to guess what did u do in between the cuts but overall good video, tfs!

    • @UzumakiStarter
      @UzumakiStarter 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe you could write "front/back" on this little paper you clipped on. This way we will always know which side you're working on

    • @SeaLemonDIY
      @SeaLemonDIY  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Totally understand. Most of the cuts were when the camera stopped focusing on the thread and blurred so I cut it (it has a hard time focusing on a moving thread). If I do another tutorial, I'll make the covers different to help know which is front/back.

    • @NoeDactyl
      @NoeDactyl 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SeaLemonDIY I understand, I've noticed a lot of people use the autofocus often but in this cases maybe setting it manually could be a better idea 🤗 mostly because the paper is not going to be moved that far away or that close to the camera, you're just flipping it around 😊
