When I first saw this video I thought: oh god. at only 4 minutes it's gonna be one of those usless speed videos with no commentary" Not only was I dead wrong but I found this one more helpfull then a lot of the 30 minute videos. kudos.
There are many components to creating an amazing wine. One plan I found that successfully combines these is the Pavas Grape Plan (check it out on google) without a doubt the best course i've heard of. look at this super resource.
Tips before you make a journal: - When ur making holes to sew through, make sure not to make them TOO far from the edge (I drilled my holes almost a centimeter from the edge bc I thought if I did it too CLOSE to the edge, the holes might just rip through and all my pages would collapse.) I’d say 3-5 millimeters is a good distance to drill the holes. - the wood used to make hardcovers is the same wood used for clipboards and binders (I took the wood from a binder and used that) - the flyleaf (the page that’s put on the inside of the cover) should be glued to ONLY the cover, not the first page as well. I was dumb and glued the flyleaf to the first page of my book
This was the easiest, most to the point and hard information videos I've seen on this. I like your sewing technique as it requires minimal tools. Way better than the 30 minute vids on these.
I take the pages out of old books (just hardcover dregs from the bookstore) and hot glue my fresh pages into those and put the cover over that. Cutting your own hardboard is an easy step, but just in case someone wanted an alternative, I thought I'd share
This is the BEST book making video I've ever watched! BRILLIANT!! I LOVE the way u used a cheap super nice leather jacket! Thriftstore GOLD! I bought a $10.00 full length leather coat! It is huge (not to wear!) so I'll be able to make many books! Great thrifty ideas! 💡👍🏻 Many thanks 🙏🏻
3:34 - I'd probably do this with a thin layer of PVA, copydex or some other slower drying glue that can be pushed around as you flatten the paper. Hot glue tends to warp paper as its not really designed to glue paper flat. It will dry quicker if it's put on thinly or flattered and so will lead to a bumpy finish and may completely fail to grip areas where air bubbles have got in. Air bubbles are hard to push out from hot glue as they actually cool and harden the glue as you try to push them out. Hot glue is better for thicker hard materials or fabrics where excess glue can seep into the weave. If you have used hot glue on something that you need to be flat, you can iron it to reactivate it and hopefully that will fix the issue.
GREAT tutorial!!! i just made a leather journal with my dad using this video, which i found on the first search and was the most thorough, easy tutorial ive ever seen!!!
This is a video I would recommend to anyone who doesn't know much about this leatherworking topic and wants to make something like this. It is widely informative, and it may be fast, but you can clearly see the effort in all his work. Please like his video, this is very useful and he deserves it. I do not know what he used to make holes in the papers, so if anyone has the answer can you please tell me?
Enjoying this so much! I have searched many ways on how to bind a book and this could be considered one of the simplest ones yet! I have even aged the paper in order for it to look like an old notebook! ::
How am I only seeing this now?? Thanks a lot man, I'm writing a book and I want to make it a real physical book but I didn't want to make it official so this really helps! Thank you so much
You literally are a lode savor! I'm working on a project and it came time to bind my pages into a cover, and I'm all like AHHHHHHHHH! What do I do? This helped so so so much! I'm gonna try it and I'll let you know how it works out for me! Thanks Matt!!! 😊😊😊
Natasha_aka_sass queen I was wonder what load saver meant. I so laughed 😂 when u said what the auto correct did. Like how many times that happens to me too
You’re going to need -hotglue -hard-board (same material as a clipboard) -dremmel -printer paper -clamps -glue stick -sowing needle -thread -material (for your book cover)
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC video - thorough, competent, and perfectly edited so that you never have to fast-forward thru anything unnecessarily over-detailed or lengthy. Well done, and thank you. :-)
I thought that this was a bad way to make a book but then you glued the spine to the cover. And I remembered this is just arts and craft. All for good fun
Better than most longer videos. Can you sew the pages together differently because most of the books I own are sewn through the center of the page fold in groups of 8-10 sheets (folded in half) then put into the hard back. I really like the fact that you don't just fold the leather over itself on the corners like most videos do but you take the time to cut and shape it in so there isn't any extra thickness. Great video and will be using this for gifts. Many thanks.
This the most informative straight forward video ever thank you for this you turned a project that felt overwhelming to actually do able n something that I know feel confident doing completely beginner friendly thank you so much
Well that eBay booking making kit is defunct 😂🤦🏾♂️, thank you so much for sharing. Love the idea of charity shop for covers too. Great informative video
3:28 before making those holes use a white sellotape to tape the end of the paper and drill a hole to make it even more stronger. Just like when you hole punch a taped paper and put inside the folder it will make stronger.
This is the first Video which I saw on making a book before seeing it I never knew that we can make a book at home , TH-cam just recommended it to me on my mom's phone ,watching it after 2 years
Wtf this was 4 mins and so quick yet i learned so much. This is insane. All i need is material tho...*glances at small pile of random material from incomplete sewing projects*
DONT GLUE THE TEXTBLOCK TO THE Spine!!! ALSO DONT GLUE THE "FLYLEAF" (its called an end page) TO THE FIRST PAGE! JUST GLUE A SMALL STIP OF IT DOWN AT THE END!!!
This is amazing it is what I was looking for!!!! I’m gonna be making children’s books again and this time I’m the everything maker writing illustrations!!! Sooo excited I’m gonna follow
I have PDFs of some very very very old books that can't be bought online anymore, and if they pop up they're $500 or more. I'm going to try and bring some fresh copies in to the world, props for the video 🙌
When i was little and knew how to sow i was like: hmmm. What if i sow the book pages together as they are folded..... Now: OHHHH SO I WAS RIGHT... well kinda... 1:18
This is a wonderful tutorial. LIke it was said earlier... speed videos are horrible. Not only does your video show exactly how to create, its also inspiring. TYFS
When I do I'm gonna make the paper with the aged vintage look. I do it with tea. Then I'm gonna fill the pages with photos and write little commentary of what happened in the photo next to it and I'm very excited.
A red hot metal stamp would definitely leave marks, I've also seen people wet the leather then clamp some sort of stamp onto it to emboss the leather. You could also use permanent marker to decorate the front or acrylic paint but that would probably wear away over time.
Now i know how to make a journal! Or a book. I might be an illustrator when i grow up and a great start on how to make a book! A bit better than the channel at Nerd forge but Both of you guys or gals are fairly Creative! All it is is that, Do all books have a leather cover to color a picture as a cover or what materials to make like a normal book cover.
+MattCarl can u please explain the 8th of an inch around the pages if our measurments are different from yours bit? Cause it seems like the hard cover was the same height as the pages. Great video! Thanks!

it doesnt open flat though its bad bind
My first thought was that you're gonna chop a tree as your first step XD
Silly me...

Neat idea!
probably not a good idea to copy tho
@@kpopisthewaypop9992 lol
Cool idea with the old leather jacket.
sometimes I have found old leather skirts also as they give nice even pieces of leather...but having seams in is unique also.
it’s a cool idea, but i don’t think i could bring myself to do it. too beautiful of a jacket :,(

I like how the last book for weight for sticking the cover to the leather was "Concentrated Physics".
Best use for a physics textbook I've ever seen!
this seems like a lot of work 😂 I think I'll just head to the store tomorrow and buy a journal
haha that works too :P
Where's the fun in that?
It is alot of work but it doesn't hurt to try you might end up making one and being happy about it

I love that you got the leather from a thrift store! Super resourceful! Thank you for this video. Very helpful :)
Dude!! That was one nice jacket

It looked very nice that's why foam to even fake leather works best and east to use without the waste....
That's what I was just thinking.

NoOoO! You didn’t make the paper yourself did you??
Good vid tho
I had to make a book for a project and was actually dreading binding it together but you saved me..thank you

Oh my god this is so cool! It was a lot simpler than I thought it would be. Insanely helpful for such a short video. :)
I applaud your resourcefulness.
You inspired me to make my own book 🖋📝
This the most informative straight forward video ever thank you for this you turned a project that felt overwhelming to actually do able n something that I know feel confident doing completely beginner friendly thank you so much
Can't wait to try this! I love that most if not all the materials are things I already have around the house. Awesome video :)
This was pretty darn cool 👌🏾. I highkey want one 😂
I know that I’m five years late to this video but this was super helpful thank you!!!!!
i didnt realize this was made 8 years ago, good job man!
AT 3:14 can I use scissors carefully since I don't have a wee saw?
This video is a starter video for people that want to make books someone could be a book maker one day because of this
Super helpful! I’ll be using this to make a photo album for my boyfriend for our anniversary. Wish me luck :)
This is a great video. I was taken aback with the hot glue. Have crafted for a long time and would not trust it for longevity.
I'm gonna try this. Thank you, bless you 💕
This is a great video, really informative, quick and easy to understand. Definitely going to try this diy. And you've earned yourself a subscriber :)

Something thin and sharp. Use a hammer or something to make it punch through the paper.

Hey, any tips on decorating the front? Which paints work, would a red hot metal poker leave marks? Any good ways to stain the leather for patterns?
A red hot metal stamp would definitely leave marks, I've also seen people wet the leather then clamp some sort of stamp onto it to emboss the leather. You could also use permanent marker to decorate the front or acrylic paint but that would probably wear away over time.
