  • I've received lots of comments and requests to show how I created the lie flat fabric spine mini journal that I'm going to use as my 2nd Volume of the Dolls journal. So here it is from start to finish! There are many other ways in which to construct a journal such as this. I think this is one of the easiest.

    Hello Mike, I’m at just past the 10:15 mark and I recommend placing a piece of wax or parchment paper onto the glued pages and then some heavy books for as long as you’re able (the longer the better). That will help prevent air pockets and warping. 😊

    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.

    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.

    I'm making a custom box (for my custom blu-ray cases) of a tv show and wanted to make an episodic guide for it. I tried photobook sites but they were so expensive and not at all customisable for the size (especially considering I wanted landscape). This video seems perfect for me. My pages are 17cm long (meaning I can't use A4 to do a 2 page fold) so I can buy some cheap A3 card (and use that for the folding page) then use adhesive photo paper and stick that onto the inner sides of the A3 card (I can even make the photo paper sections slightly bigger and fold it over each edge so I don't have to bother with painting the edge of the book as it'll already be coloured and it'll be hidden when sticking the pages together).
    Thanks for this as it makes the job way simpler.

    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!

    Gorgeous little journal, well explained, step by step process. I like this method for making small notebooks as gifts. My sister likes to have several, be it for planning the garden, a decorating project or a holiday, back in the day when they could get away. They are perfect for sketched ideas, plant lists, holiday essentials etc, so even if you aren't into art journaling, these are fun to make & more personal to give than shop bought. Especially if you can tailor the covers to suit the recipient. 😊❤🇬🇧

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.
