I can't wait to try this! For another project, I glued two cereal boxes together. It turned out great. I live in the middle of nowhere so getting supplies is challenging. My sister with five kids was more than happy to save cereal boxes. I don't eat cereal.
This is amazing! One of the best videos I have seen for binding a journal! I would like to see this with a bigger book or thicker book that requires more signatures.
What a nice lil journal for a quick project. Sometimes the large journals can be scary to start art Journaling for beginners. This is something more manageable to finish.
As the end of the video approached I thought, boy, I'd like to buy that journal. Then I thought, I'll bet he's going to give it to Linda. HA! I was right! I love this little journal. You must have been a book binder in a previous life. You have mad skills!
I've been looking for a good flat binding for a university project which I've been stressing about for ages but this tutorial has helped me tremendously, thanks so much!! really saved me :)
This is a really good way of making a journal. I've struggled in the past with various ways and have been rather disappointed with what I've done but I will definitely have a go at doing it this way. Thank you, Mike for such a very clear explanation.
Oh'magosh Mike you are a great teacher... I made my first, yes first must make more of these books. Geezz I'm nearly gushing over this book. I made my first one following your video last night and it turned out SO good. You are so clear with your instructions, thank you my poor A.D.D. brain has a hard time sometimes following instructions and yours did the trick for me. This new Journal will be so great for my projects and even Pen Pal gifts.
Awesome! I never thought to glue blank cards together to make a lie flat journal! That is so simple and genius!! Thank you for sharing!! Im amazed! Will definitely try!❤
Thanks so much for this, Mike. I was lucky enough to win a bundle of adhesive products and there were sheets of double sided amongst them...now I know what to use them on :)
Perfect. I believe this will be so much easier for me. The books look so much better when you use your method here letting them lay flat🤗🤗🤗 Appreciate the sharing🥰
I so enjoy watching your art projects, and now Ian's as well! Following these instructions, I just finished making myself a journal. I love how it came out! Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos for us. They are a highlight of my week, and I am always learning something that I can use in my own art!
I know this video is now several months old, but I really enjoyed watching your methodical approach and clear instructions. Very relaxing after a bit of a busy day at work. :)
Just found your wonderful video. It was the best guided tour with such precision. I will revisit and begin my journal with joy 😊Thank you from Denmark 🇩🇰 .
Mike - This is such a marvelous video! I love the design of this journal - the binding and end papers, the textblock - everything about it is beautiful and elegant . And your instructions are excellent. Thank you so much!
Just what I was searching for! I'm making a series of family portrait art quilts and I wanted to showcase them in a book to give to family members so that I can hang on to my quilts. hahahaha Anyway I want a coffee table book feel but with open, flat pages to better study the photos. I could incorporate a different scrap of quilt fabric on the spine of each book!
Great tutorial and easy to understand instructions. I just a watercolor journal using a mermaid napkin from the front and back covers. Definitely will be referring to this video when I make another no sew journal like this again. 😊
Thankyou for such a clear and straightforward presentation. After searching for a while I'm pleased I've found your tutorial. Many thanks to you and please keep up the good work it is appreciated.
Great instruction Mike... and a beautiful result. Thank you so much for sharing. Please stay safe and say Hi to Ian and Mr. Bentley, Mum and Dad for me.
thank you for making this video i have been searching for a way to make sure i actually have signatures that open up to complete 2 sided signatures so i can use both sides at once after 50 videos i found yours yayyy
Love the concept of this book and very beautifully made. I will be making one for my granddaughter for starters. She likes to carry a small sketch book with her at all times. Last year I made her a small traveller's notebook style book with a leather cover which she loved and has probably filled by now. Thanks for sharing. xoxo
That was fantstic! Great idea for stocking stuffers....planning ahead. You made me wamt to shout...who cares about dinner I have to make this! All you have to do now is get Mr, B. to walk by you guys and approve the work when you are making these brilliant videos! I am so happy I found your site!
Mike, I first watched this video with such enjoyment two years ago as you made this delightful little book. I was a newbie to art, journaling, and the like. Now, I realize what a simple, yet classic, technique this is! I am SO grateful to have discovered you! Thank you and Ian for continuing to be amazing inspirations to me as I grow in my experience with art & journaling. From Cheryl in AZ.
Love this so much. I'm totally going to make one for my girlfriend and myself! You rock. Thank you for sharing all your different ideas and ways to execute them.
BRILLIANT❣️ I’m making a couple of these ASAP. I especially like the triangle one where each page is 1/4 turn from the previous one. Ive been a subscriber for several years I really enjoy your work. Your Mission inspiration prompts are something I look forward to every month. Please stay healthy , safe & sane 🤪 during these difficult times.
Oooh Mike this is a fantastic tutorial. Thank you very much for this. Love the way the book lays flat when you open it. It was so easy to follow. Stay safe and take care.
Brilliant! Wish I had seen something like this a few weeks ago.Would of saved me a lot of hand stitching 😊...nice idea for small gift for some of my crafting friends 😁.
