DIY JOURNAL & Mini Cinch Review
Welcome Back!
Today I'll be going over the mini cinch and making my own custom journal.
I bought my mini cinch a few weeks back and have been testing out the journals I've made with it. It's hard to compare as I haven't used other journal punch machines before but I like the compactness and ease of the mini cinch. The price is pretty steep for what it is and I wish it came with some accessories, so keep that in mind!

    I'm planning on buying it soon. I think I prefer the mini because it's smaller and youcan change the attatchments for the holes.

      The mini can’t be changed but the MULTI cinch can use the other hole types don’t get the wrong one (I may or may not have done so)

    I just bought my cinch from Michaels with a 50% off coupon. It cost me 39.99 USD. It's mindboggling to me that less than a year ago it was retailing for over $100.

    Clear and helpful video, thanks for sharing. It’s a great little machine but really bad that they don’t include any words to get you started. You’re essentially buying a useless machine if it doesn’t work out of the box.

    Nice lesson. I know UA-cam art teachers are trending with speeding up their lessons, and with music that puts everybody to sleep, but my advice is don’t speed it up and leave off the music. Listen to some of the pros. They don’t use music. They just teach the lesson quietly. We all have our own music that helps us concentrate. Also, if you keep turning your music on and off during your lesson, most serious students are turning your lesson off. It’s way too distracting. Artists need to access the right brain.

    Does the mini have a way to reopen the wires of your journal to add more pages? I think the larger machine may have that?

    Great video. I JUST bought the Mini Cinch at Michael’s 40% off coupon brought it to about $50. I had additional 20% for the binding wires and other items I bought. No one in the store knew anything about it or how to use it. One associate suggested UA-cam so I looked you up. I don’t make journals to sell but I love making books for friends and myself. My first plan is to make a “book” of calendar pictures with Scriptures for a friend who likes that type of thing. I will most likely layer the pictures onto card stock in odder to cover the calendar grid on the back side. OR I could put two pictures back to back… not sure yet. I have multiple sized calendar pages so I’ve got some “creative crafting” to do, but that’s half the fun!

    I ordered the bigger cinch last night and even though I know it won’t be as worth it since I’m not planning to sell art and craft works anymore for the moment… I enjoy buying these tools that let me create what I want. I’m glad you showed it with the watercolour paper as I bought mine specifically to make sketch books with a mixture of heavy weight paper I like in a number of different sizes as well. This helped me understand that I will only be able to do a few sheets at a time and how long it could take to make a sketch book with that many pages. Also planning to create some portable travel journals and itinerary plans for my trip in a few months

    Super cute! I got this mini and the big cinch, i prefer this mini version as I don’t do a lot of craft and the big one took too much space. Also the big version has a little edge right where your papers slide in for punching, so if you don’t pay close attention and make sure the paper go all the way in, you would end up wasting some as it would be misaligned. I don’t have that issue with the mini.
