Oh. My. Gosh. I have been making books for about 2 years now and this is the BEST lesson I’ve seen on how to attach endpapers. I cannot thank you enough! You are my book guru. 👏👏👏
Yes yes yessss!!!
The techniques shown here are extremely interesting, however she should’ve paid attention to the paper and card stock grain direction in order to avoid warping. It should always run head to tail regardless of the binding technique used
@@randomlylearnt2477 Grain is something I talk about regularly. The grain in all the materials of this book was running parallel to the spine, but I don't recall why I didn't repeat my usual grain lecture in this video.
Me: I don't need another hobby, I don't need another hobby, I don't need another hobby.
UA-cam: you need to learn book binding.
Me: I need to learn book binding
Lolol such relatable. I wanna make my own sketchbooks and notebooks too
I can so relate :D
😆😆😆😆🤪
The struggle is most def real, Constanza! 😬😄
same here
This was a trip down memory lane for me.
When I was an art student (1960s), one assignment was to bind a book. The overall method was very much like what you did. The only difference was that we used larger, thinner paper & more stitches (maybe about an inch apart). We stitched (I think) 8 pieces of paper together to make signatures of 16 pages. My book was about 1" thick. Once those were stitched together, like yours the edges of the papers were not even, but our professor had an arrangement with a local printing shop where the college had its printing done to put our books in an industrial paper slicer that cut the edges even on each student's book. Apparently, it could cut hundreds of pages at once. I had started with pages that were 5.5" X 8.5". Once the pages were cut on 3 sides it was only slightly smaller. Then we knew how large to make our covers & finish the books.
I ended up eventually filling mine by writing my favorite quotes in it. Years later, I became interested in making hand-made books again after I found a library book with a zillion ways to put a book together. The first one I made opened like an accordion. It had 10 pages (front and back 20) plus the covers. I filled it with images of my favorite author and some of his quotes. (I started to collect quotes on little scraps of paper in a shoebox when I was about 10.)
Your video reminded me of the process I used in my college class and now I want to make more. Thank you.
Aren't those school days great? I remember being in pottery class and the friendships that i made and the fun that we had. Plus we had good instructors.
Watching this and actually trying it really helps with my anxiety,free therapy
Thank YOUUU.... for making it simple.
I'm dyslexic and have watched so many videos, read so many books and articles and I've come away with impression that most book makers see themselves as massively exclusive.
Thanks for being a booksmith, NOT a booksnob 🕊️
I made this book for myself with actual watercolor paper, because I wanted to encourage myself to actually fill an entire sketchbook with watercolor sketches, and I am usually too intimidated to use the fancy ones. (I feel like I need to paint good enough to go into the book.) So I thought that if I made it myself, I would be less intimidated, because if I mess it up, I can just make another book without problems. The problem is that it came out far too nice. :)
Thank you for the clear and easy to follow tutorial!
If you make a deliberate mess in the first page, something wild and impulsive, you will prolly lose the perfectionist pressure moving on
I watched your video earlier this year and understood nothing. I have been watching, learning, and practicing. Today, this made complete sense! Thank you.
Suh-WEET! The possibilities are endless with this little book. But first! I must change into my ball gown. :-)
🌻xx
@@ReneesatItAgain
@@LedgerAndLace Ah!! Bouquets are the best, especially in April--21!! ...and I'm on the search for a ball gown so I can join you and lady genius!!! ; ))
😄
where were u when I first began book making, you go over detail in such a pleasant and fun way!
Every project is pure perfection. I could watch you for hours. And you have a lovely speaking voice to go with your videos. You are very much appreciated! 💜😎
that is so sweet of you to say, thank you Joanne =)
"I'm gonna put something kind of heavy on top of it" *pulls out a brick* LOL! That and the spongebob reference had me laughing. Thank you so much for this tutorial and the laughs! Beautiful book btw!
I wish all tutorials were this good! I particularly like the chapters index so that I can quickly refer to an earlier or later comment. I've made several A5 books but this, as it almost fits in the palm of my hand seems much less intimidating. That's Christmas sorted - Many Thanks.
The Blue Danube is my all-time favorite and a perfect companion for this beautiful little book.
Love the ease in which you work. Small ti-, making sure the grain direction in the chip board and cover paper are the same will reduce warp.
Best tutorial EVER!
Thank you
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for doing your video step by step.
You are a true booksmith, Nik the Booksmith!! How beautiful your books are!
Oh my God, I've wanted to learn how to do this for years and years and I couldn't find anything on how to do it. I am ever so happy that I stumbled upon this video.
Thank you for demystifying the process of book binding! I know I will have to watch at least once more. And then again with materials at hand. Your final book is simply gorgeous.
You are a tonic, my dear. Just what I needed.
I'm just here re watching this. Thinking about how I'm 28 and barely learning book binding(how sad that is that it's not taught) , and how I can't wait to teach my children this! 😁
Thank you! This is the binding technique I’ve been hoping to find 🙏🏽 I’m a newbie at book making but have a junk journal and an arches watercolor book now under my belt 😁 the watercolor turned out honestly amazing but this binding technique would’ve been so much better 🤍 I’m resolved to never buy another sketchbook ever and to make all my own now with my preferred papers
I feel nice and relaxed after watching this. Thanks a lovely waffle-free, instructional and motivating video. Yippee
I love the fact you wrapped your brick in pretty paper. Genius way to use it as a weight and not dirty up projects. 💪🏻
The little tie closure is a nice touch 😊 very easy to follow tutorial!
Sooooo lovely!
This reminds me of when I was a kid and my mom would make little blank books for me to write and draw in.
This tutorial was absolutely mesmerizing. This was not the tutorial I was looking for to instruct me on my project, BUT, I'm now inspired to create one of these beautiful little books. A plus was the wonderfully clear, concise instruction and demonstration that was given to create this old school ART form. 💖
Just finished making my first book & I am SO proud of how it came out! Couldn’t have done it without your thorough & clear instructions. Easiest tutorial to follow I’ve ever attempted 🎉
Love this! Can’t wait to get started!
Wow!! That is gorgeous! Thank you for the post!
Ha, glad I'm not the only one who has to edit out needle threading shenanigans. Love it Nik. Cute little book.
Oh, God, FINALLY a tutorial, served as affordable and easy as it actually is, thanks, really helps me with my kinda first fine book.
Glad it helped!
Thanks you. And in enjoy the story and I have more story to tell 🍬📖
In less than 30 minutes you answered a burning, 50+ year old question. THANKS! So interesting, love it!
Wish my hands would let me attempt to make this. Beautiful. Your video was so nice to watch. ❤❤❤
This is amazing, thank you so much!
That was great Nik! And I LOVE the wrapped brick as a weight-what a good idea! Thanks!
Wow! That's beautiful!
Wow
! It's perfect!!!
Love this. I’ll refer to this video often! Thanks!!!
This is so peaceful going in my craft ideas for this fall and winter
Great refresher! Thanks.
That is super cool. Thanks for the video!
You are amazing. Thank you for your instruction.
I’m so happy to discover you. I’ve done some bookbinding in the past and your tutorial is just what I needed to refresh my memory. Thank you so much for posting! 🔔
So inspirons! Thank you so Michel!
BRAVO. Thank you for sharing
This is absolutely adorable!! I am so glad I found your video because I have always wanted to find myself a book that I could write in, like the book in the Hobbit movies. They cost a fortune if you can even find anything like that. This is a small scale of what I'd like to do and now I am going to see what I can do to make it happen!! Thank you for the video.
I love the way you made this book!! The binding is amazing!!
This is absolutely beautiful! Great job!
Delightful!! Thank you for sharing Nik .

Love it! Looks so easy!
Wow! You did that so well! Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the video and the information
This was the best video I've seen since I've been watching these types. Thank you! I learned a lot of tips that I didn't even think of. Like not glueing the spine to the back of the book. The button idea! So much good information. I saved it so I can go back to it for guidance.
Great work! Thanks for sharing and uploading.
Thank you so much! Very instructable.
Straight forward and fully instructional film that now means I can make a watercolour journal to the size I want. perfect.thanks.

I gave it a shot! Guided by your excellent tutorial I just made my first tiny art journal with Arches water color paper (140 lb) and African cloth on the cover! I am so happy with the result. Thank you so much, you are a great teacher. 😄
This was the perfect video Nik. I loved everything about it. I learned so much from watching you. This little journal is beautiful. The colors are so pretty. You are the best book maker I have ever watched. May have to try and make me an art journal like this. Thank you for all the details you share.
