You make everything seems so easy! Especially since you do them perfectly. 😂 This really is an adorable journal. I love the size and I love the nine signatures. Hugs 🤗❤️
I love watching you work and like that you walk us through the process so minutely. I do have to remind myself that you weren't born knowing how to do this but have spent years learning. A year ago I'd never even heard of a 3-hole pamphlet stitch--I'm not perfect but improve with each journal. Thank you for being funny and serious at the same time.
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment, I really appreciate it! ❤
Yes please make a text block video.
It's soooo good to get a notification about your video ❤❤❤❤
I made my very first journal around 4 years ago after watching one of your tutorials, using an old book cover. I've never looked back. I love your work, and you explain things brilliantly ❤😎
Thank you, Nik! I've learned so much from your tutorials! Before you, I'd never stitched signatures into a book cover to make a journal, but I have now!💜
Even if I know, that good crafters are great in eye-balling, I really love,
that you tend to measure out everything exacty...it gives better results !!! 💚
When I watch these videos, I feel like my favorite aunt is teaching me how to bind books
I love this method as well as the traditional way of making a book. This way in particular is my favorite because I like to play with a decorative binding. Your tutorials are so helpful, I love your attitude 🥰
Brilliant as always. 🎉 So nice to hear your lovely voice and see your expressive hands. 😊
I just discovered your videos and they unlocked a memory for me. When I was a kid (70s and 80s), I would draw my own lined notebook paper and then crumple it up tightly and then flatten it out so it looked old. I'd turn in my homework like that and my teacher would get so mad at me. I had completely forgotten about it. Decades later, in my 50s, I was identified as neurodivergent. Lol. Ya think?!
Always loved paper and ephemera and will be making many themed lap books for future grandkids: The Botanist, The Archaeologist, The Geologist, The Astronomer, The Artist, The Zoologist, The Gear Head, The Traveler...
I'd like to nominate you for the BEST grandma EVER!
@@NiktheBooksmith just watched the Jekyll and Hyde video. Holy cow! I am just swimming in ideas. Alice in Wonderland... Frankenstein, Dracula, To Kill a Mockingbird...
It's always a treat to watch you create anything. If you want to duct tape an old shoe box to a two by four and call it a day, I'm there! Thanks for sharing! Have a great week!
Wow! What an ingenious method! 🎉 I’ve tried to bind my own Watercolour paper, but its thickness makes the signatures very difficult to manage. However using multiple parallel holes means I could just have multiple skinny signatures. Thank you - thank you! 🙏🏼 I’m thrilled 😊
So glad you posted!
Impeccable! And YES--text block tutorial would be AWESOME!
Congrats 🎉 🎉 your little book is so cute and beautiful Thank you for sharing this video I learned so much enjoy your weekend ☺️🌹💌📚🦄🤗🌹❣️
Love seeing the stitches
You got me at no end papers! 😂. JH
Hello Nik 😊 I always look forward to seeing your videos 😊 I hope and pray you are well 🙏😊😘 thank you so much for sharing and I will see you at your next video 😊😊😘❤️🇨🇦

This looks so elegant and beautiful 😍 thank you for sharing ❤

Always some thing new and something learned, thanks Nik!
Thank you, I’ve learned so much from your videos!
Beautiful!
Hello Nik, I pray that you are doing well. I appreciate all the details and options you give on your projects. Take care young lady and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

Very well done, as usual......and great information, even for a novice, to follow.................😻
This is so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you. Love it.
Thanks Nik!👍🙂
I always await your videos with great anticipation, to see your take on pages, construction and creative solutions...you are a fount of knowledge Nik! thanks for sharing with all of us!
Lovely! As always, I enjoyed watching you create and listening to you explain everything so clearly, Nik, thanks! ❤
I looooove your work!!!!❤
Always enjoy your masterful skills and sense of humor. I love your attention to detail. Your projects are always an inspiration to me and make me want to head immediately to my craft table and start making!
Cute little book. Thanks for showing us how to make a book using that method.
❤ thank you!
Thank you Nik:)
Great ideas!
Hi Nik. I always use grid paper when sewing in my signatures.
Love your videos......Thank you
Useful video ❤
Awesome!!
Hey Nic..thanks for this lovely, calming, inspiring video. I recently purchased a little book something like yours, and wondered how it was made. I want to make one now, but bigger, and with heavier paper so i can paint or sketch in it. I like how the paper lays flat in my purchased book, but it is thin, so only good for writing. Thanks to your simple but thorough instructions, i feel ready to do this! You are a good teacher. Thank you for generously sharing. ❤
It sure never gets old to see you smithing books! Does not matter what kind, I love them all!
Would you also show - yes, again - how you die your papers. I watched your older video, tried at home, but my papers don’t seem to gather as much color from the tea as yours do. I don’t want to put any coffee on my dye because the paper smells like cat pee when dried. I know a lot of people like the smell of coffee died paper, but for me, oh 🤢 it is cat pee smell indeed 😂😂😂
great inspiration!🦌💌❤️📚
Love these little books. Your last comment about video of just making a text block would be great.
Eureka….I was wondering how to incorporate my slow stitching into a book cover and you have given me a great idea. Thank you!
Great video Nik! I’m back from vacation. Cats definitely missed us! Clingy! Haha
Lol I bet they did miss you terribly! All my best for you and the hubby =)
Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks!
👐 thank YOU! =)
Great video! Do you have a source for your faux leather?
Hi, how many pages per signature do you typically use for this type of sketchbook paper? Thanks for the videos.❤
Cute 😊
Hey Nik I hope you are doing well, I sure do enjoy your videos. Do you know when you will do another mystery story video?
I've got a story in mind, but there are a couple of videos I must do first. But, its on the list! Thank you for asking, Karan =)
Hey, Nik! Did you ever find that nice razor knife you lost a while back? If not, I think I know where it might be.
Have you checked in the specimens box area of your 2023 lap book? You put one in there for the video... Maybe it's still there?
Anyway, love your videos! Just found your channel a few weeks ago and want to make ALL THE THINGS! Unfortunately, I just had carpal tunnel surgery, so all I get to do is drool at the moment until everything is working again!
hi Laura! thank you, yes, it was in the lapbook. There were a few comments that reminded me that I had stowed it there. My head would've been in there, too, if it wasn't attached to my neck Lol
❤❤❤
Hi Nic will be giving this a go no worries thank you for making it look so easy. Do you know what the faux leather product is called, as the faux leathers I have come across have a fabricy - feltly backing unlike the one you are using. I had a look on your amazon booksmithables but couldn't find it there. Cheers Judy
Good question, let me look that up and see if it (or something like it) is available. :) ...to be continued Lol
So glad you asked this. I went to 2 places today and couldn't find anything like it. I'm hoping she can provide a link. :)
May I ask if this particular graph paper you used in this video in your favorite supplies list? The graph paper I have is 4 squares per inch. Thanks
Hi Sharon! Yes, I just added that to the Booksmithables list. And if you want to shop for it locally, search for "10 squares per inch graph paper". Hope that helps!
Yes it does, thank you very much. @@NiktheBooksmith
Someday 😩😂
🥰
Just wondering, can you use a sewing machine to sew the pages ??
Possibly.
I've never tried it myself, but I was taught to sew curves using a paper template with no thread. The paper handled being punched with the sewing machine needle just fine.
If you can get the thread tension right, it might work.
😍Nik, beautiful work. Planning to make recipe books as Christmas presents, so this method is ideal. Many thanks, take care lovely 😊🌹
Great question! I suppose in certain circumstances you could. But, I think it might depend on how thick your papers and cover material are as well as how heavy duty your sewing machine is. 🤔
🙌🍁🍀🌻🌹😍
