So, any ideas for PaperPhone Apps? Should we build an official PaperPhone Appstore? Do you want to become a certified PaperPhone Developer? So many questions ...
these are such cool ideas! Like for example printing a little booklet with some chess puzles or sudoko or something like that! Also love the postcard thing!
I would like to have some fidgets, so a sleeve in which you can bring some pre cut Mini Origami paper would be one of my add ons. Also, love the format of making it yourself. I have a corner rounding punch and the use of hole punches in different sizes, Liked your troubleshooting and the use of thinner elastic. What you recreated with your paper phone is very sim8lar to somethkng, wise people have done as early as the rennessance, it is called commonplace book and was around for so long, that your naming threw me off track a little. Paper phone is such a good idea to reach younger audiences, though. I have used an A5 version before, and did not know about the movement of bullet journalling or all the other forms of note taking. It only shows, that good working systems get to the right people one way or another.
@eastofawesome - I love & support your idea of PaperPhone! My PaperPhone is scrap paper held together with a binder clip 😝 I’ve always loved ‘salvaging’ scrap paper, so I keep a stack smallest to largest (usually a half sheet). I like the idea of puzzle apps. I’m partial to word finds & jumbles. Also an address book/contacts. I have formatted a shopping list that I print on both sides of a piece of paper such that I get 4 lists per sheet. The list is made of two columns separated into categories. I circle the item I need or write in the specific item. Thanks for sharing this! I’ll keep following this project 🤗
I have my bookshelves of journals from the last 20+ years. The phones I once had are long ago turned into useless junk on a scrap heap somewhere. PS, I write everything sequencially. The curating comes from the way I label each entry: a box with an icon inside. When when the book is full I make an index system by category. All the journals I stitch-bind and make hardcovers for. So it's better than what you buy. Also, I'm 'allergic' to lined pages. So I can choose the paper I want. Sketchbooks obviously different paper than the journal pages. So glad there are people like you bringing awareness to the lost habit of tactile writing .
oh wow, that system sounds super nice. especially since I am still struggling with finding a good archival process. I would absolutely love to see a few pictures of what you described here ….
This is a marvelous video! It's like the algorithm read my mind and plopped it in my feed! As a programmer who started her career a little over 50 years ago, returning to analogue roots is a godsend and, I believe, the future. The past couple of months I've delved into origami creating cases for my eight-sheet make-shift notebooks that have sort of been my diary the past 25 years. Your adaptable Paper Phone would make my note taking very portable. This was great! I especially like the credit card idea! That option I'm definitely going to put in my go at your Paper Phone. Thank you SO MUCH! Sure, sign me up as a PP crafter/creator! ❤
Aw, thank you very much! I also,like the contrast of tech-heavy work like coding and analog note taking. (At least if it is not that time of the year when I think I want all my note in a terminal in vim 😊) Also would love to see a picture of what you came up with sometimes!
So glad that you came up in my recommendations! This was so inspiring, honestly. As someone who has been stuck in the cycle of buying a new planner each year and getting the next big TN cover, it is so nice to see someone else go analogue and build their own notebook system from scratch. I think I would upgrade with a pre-printed monthly app as you call it and maybe also a shopping list/wish list section, because writing down a wish is almost as nice as actually getting something 🙃 Thank you very much for sharing this and can’t wait to see what you come up with next for your paper phone!
Yeah, maybe now you also enter the phase of building a new notebook every couple of weeks … 😁 What would your preprinted monthly app look like/contain?
Thanks Robbin! I think it is very fulfilling to create the materials and tools that you use yourself. Hope I'll be able to make even more different stuff in the future! ✌️
Loving this video and the build itself, so much fun can be had just using the imagination, some cutting tools and pieces of paper and cardboard :) This video just randomly popped up on my home page feed, had to subscribe, too many cool projects going on here :)
I stumbled upon this video, and watched the entire thing - it was completely fascinating. I love the idea to leave the pages loose in the notebooks - especially because then they can also be rearranged either in the notebook itself or elsewhere. The idea to use elastics that wrap around the cover is also quite good. Actually, there are several good and unique ideas here.And I thoroughly enjoyed watching you make stamps. I've subscribed and look forward to watching all your videos.
Thanks for the video! It's very inspirational. I find that using my phone outside my house most of the time pretty uncomfortable, same actually with having headphone's on outdoor. Unfortunately we live at time where everything goes on internet and so do people. I think in some time i will make one paperphone for myself, i found the idea of replacing a phone with a notebook pretty interesting.
Aw! That is great 🎉!! Cool aesthetic. Awesome idea. I am literally stealing the idea making mine and calling it "my phone" or "scrap phone" because I use all shorts of scrap papers.
I LOVE this concept. Really like the simplicity of the pocket at the back for the debit card and the use of the small books is really great. This is the first of your videos that I have seen. I am now a sub. Can't wait to delve into your past videos.
Made my own "small everything notebooks" for half a year. It was very fun. Havent done it for a while. Now im super inspired to make one! So Im gonna start right away!!
Oh, yes, that's exactly what I really really wanted to do. "Replace" my "apps" with some sort of a notebook. BUT, I made the mistake of purchasing a regular A6 traveller's notebook, which I love, but doesn't really do the trick, cause it's three times bigger than my phone. :P So, here I am, making some coffee, ready to be excited! Thank you!
Such a joy you are! I'm giggling away here. Thank you for all you share and deliver with a good dose of humour. So glad I found your channel, been looking for tips and a guide such as yourself ... no offence to the others. Love the concepts you are working with and your style is beautiful 💕
Ich habe immer wieder mal herumgespielt mit dem PERFEKTEN Notizbüchlein. Mit der Zeit habe ich Un-Perfektheit schätzen gelernt. Die Büchlein sind knuffig und charmant und passen sich an die Benutzerin an mit der Zeit. Love it! Super Idee mit dem PP. Ein bisschen neide ich Dir die kleine Werkstatt ;-) Danke für die Demo.
Un-Perfektheit erstmal zu akzeptieren hilf schon mal viel weiter. Sie dann aber wie du schreibst irgendwann tatsächlich wirklich schätzen zu lernen ist glaub ich wirklich viel Wert. Gerade heutzutage wo immer mehr sehr perfekt aber auch sehr lieblos produziert wird … Danke für das Lob an die Mini Wekstatt 🙂
Just want to comment here, I just discovered by happenstance your channel and I have been slowly but surely going through each and every one of videos positively salivating over the content. Whenever I look at artists and look at their content, I am always amazed and appreciate their talent, but I can honestly say that none so far own your peculiar brand of aesthetic that resonates SO closely to my own. Not that I produce this quality of aesthetics, I am just saying it resonates deeply with what I love to see and what inspires me greatly. Always tried to put a name to this genre, but never quite did. Artisan craft fusion is one I recently stumbled on and it seems to be adequate. Anyway, I will stop gushing now, but just wanted to say keep it up, I love the idea of the PaperPhone and you can be sure I will be crafting one myself! I will be looking into ordering your zines as well. Thank you for what you do!
You dont need to rip it. you can also bend the paper carefully in half in both directions and the direction with more resistance is against the grain. Every paper and cardboard has a grain direction, except hand made paper. I really like your smartbook idea. Thanks
Thanks for the clarification! Smartbook might also be a cool name for such a notebook. A bit less cheesy than PaperPhone maybe … but somehow I think I like the more silly name here 🤔😁
@eastofawesome yea, I just didn't know how to refer to it at the moment I was writing the comment. I think I like PaperPhone alot better for a name. Kind of absurd and you get curious and wanna find out about it. I m a bookbinder, who didn't do alot of binding recently, but you know what, your video got me in the mood to get out my equipment and turn off the freaking news... I guess that's what I gotto do .... definitely... yep.
Umm. I just came to say, uhh- that was probably one of the craziest fucking thumbnails I’ve ever seen. Like that shit was goddamn reVOlutionary. Holy shit man. Wow. I am surprised. I am really fucking surprised. I mean, I’ve never ever seen anything like it- like- everyone else’s seem to be so clean, well- I think it’s just the videos I watch but like. This shit is Whole Foods packaging compared to the shit I be seeing on my recommended. Wow. I hope you go far, cuz damn. That was a juicy ass thumbnail. ❤❤❤
Welcome to life with less algorithm control. Think with your head, write with your own hand, archive manually. Forget battery life and power outages. Learn to structure information on paper. Thanks for the good tips...
yes man! I think the part of archiving is the one where I lack the most. Hard to find something that you noted down in some notebook sometines a few years ago ... Do you nave any specific tips on that front?
I don't know if it's the best way, but I use the Cornel page as a base. In the larger column on the right, I write everything that comes to mind. In the left column, I put keywords that describe or summarize the idea. It is easier to browse individual keywords than to read all the articles later.
@@eastofawesome It is important and easier if you also define which category the matter belongs to. My whole philosophy is based on the same as the army's carrying system for the individual soldier. There is a big backpack with everything a man needs. It also has a patrol backpack for day patrolling and smaller pockets for various items. Notes work the other way around, they consist of a small to a larger whole. Starting with post it notes, pocket notebook 14 x 10 cm, A5 folder with annual calendar + different categories (6 tabs), year's summary in A4 folder. 
YOU are the app. Also, I love the tinker space you have. Appreciating that it's not a stripped down minimalist "clean" (ie empty) space; it's let's put our hands on stuff space.
It is good to remember that most of the notes belong to the lived life, which you will never need after that day, moment, month or even year. That's why I don't carry my past life with me every day, but if necessary, I search for individualized information from the basic archive according to keywords and category. It frees me to live in this day and my mind remains open to new creative thoughts... 🤔
@@eastofawesome I found the exact sets that you have in your video. They are pretty expensive but they look just like yours. These are larger than your paper phone so I might have to make my paper phone the size of the books. The size is 8.5 x 6.46 x 0.28 inches
Ich find die Idee so toll, Bücher mit ins Notizbuch zu binden. Ich wollte in meinem immer Wichtige Formeln für meine Arbeit haben und hab Sie mir abgeschrieben. Da ich am liebsten Notizbücher in B4 Format nutze, schau ich mal ob ich ein Tafelwerk finde das fittet! Danke :D
Freut mich zu hören! bin nur immer wieder hin und her gerissen zwischen alles in einem schönen Paket haben oder lieber zwei separate Büchlein für unterschiedliche Hosentaschen … 🙂
I want to see this dude make a "paper TV", and then it be just a hipster paper craft box that you cram random stuff into while it has zero fundamental functions of a television set. You know just like what a phone is fundamentally about is there in the name; it does things with sound, preferably transmits sound over distances sound wouldn't otherwise travel at given that the full word is "telephone".
I’m going out right now to buy some ice cream. May have to get various types to find the best. After I finish the ice cream, I’m going out for a turkey. P.S. You don’t have to rip. Just choose the direction, if there is one, that bends the easiest. That’s the grain.
hope the ice cream was as awesome as I think you deserved it. Thanks for the info about the grain … but I think with the huge cardboard sheets I still cant feel the difference…
This is such a fun video and project! Thank you for sharing and for including your beautiful cat :3 I wondered why you made a seperate stamp instead of directly stamping the leather? I've done some leather stamping before and it looks really sleek on a notebook project like this.
Yeah, we all know that the cats are the stars here … ✌️ As this is not real leather but a sheet of cork on top of some fabric most leather engraving/carving techniques would not have worked in this case. Or is it something different that you mean?
Great video! I’ve made my own notebooks and books before and was looking for a new bookbinding project! any links for the specific kind of cork leather you are using? Thanks.
Thank you. the Cork I used here and was very happy with I ordered from this (Germany-based) webshop: www.korkstoffe.de/en … don‘t know if they have affordable international shipping
thank you! I think another aspects why I like film is that it makes each shot something special again where on the smartphone they all vanish into the digital abyss so easily ...
i love this! would you ever consider selling one of these "paper phone" covers and inserts? i have a regular sized TN but i've been wondering if there was something more accessible, and the passport TN size didn't work too well for me.
Last year I also started making a little zine/booklet with more concise instructions on how to craft one for yourself. I thought I should finish that now also. Do you think that would help?
Übrigens habe ich einen Zimmermannsbleistift in meinem Buch. Die haben ein flaches Profil. Schreiben aber etwas dick....Man muss immer wieder mal mit dem Taschenmesser nachspitzen.
It's so you don't use your phone as much. Many people lately have been covering the topic of using pocket notebooks to stop from mindlessly scrolling on your phone (or to stop phone addiction) Hopefully this explanation helps!
If you are visually impaired, like me, It is very hard to use smaller screens because of the glare. I don’t put ant notes, calendars, or planning on anything electronic. I love this idea.
@eastofawesome 😅😅 understandable. i, too, usually would run away from anyone speaking english with asian accent (japanese, chinese, indian, indonesian, singapore, etc) as i am asian myself.
i don’t know how to replace basically anything that i use my phone for.. i mainly use it for communication, so texts and calls. also navigation is very important because i get lost literally everywhere i go. and instagram because i need it for my job. everything else takes place on specific devices, i made an ipod out of an old iphone 5c, reading is from a tolino, all note taking, planning etc. is happening in physical notebooks, video content runs on my ipad and for general navigating the web i use my macbook, because i just can’t use my phone for extended periods of time, it’s very uncomfortable to me.
Yes. It‘s obviously based on a treveler‘s notebook (with a few differences). in the previous notebook build videos I had always mentioned and linked the Midori books specifically.
Hat ein bisschen gedauert aber ich hab noch mal ein video hochgeladen wo ich drauf geachtet hab das fertige Büchlein auch in Ruhe noch mal durchzublättern. ✌️
@A.I.Christian.music1 Perhaps somehow they were expecting to be able to make phonecalls on it, lol, despite the thumbnail listing what it would contain. I love the thumbnail, it's one of the most accurate and least clickbaity I've seen.
You having to pull your phone for the calculator reminds me I used to have an A5 binder planner type thing with a thin, binder-type calculator, something like that would be awesome for one of those books! Totally forgot about that thing till now lol
Guides, patterns and templates. Papers and covers and tools. Have been watching book binding for about 4 years now and just realized that I have been using journals for 40 years and can never find the "one" and when I do find "one" close it can never be found again. BUT, if I created my own and could just make a new one, when the old is filled...now that would be a great solution. If you make it they will come.
So, any ideas for PaperPhone Apps? Should we build an official PaperPhone Appstore? Do you want to become a certified PaperPhone Developer? So many questions ...
Cool idea!
• Tear off pre-paid postcards to mail to friends and family.
• Custom calendars
• Photo albums
• Articles, zines
• Games
these are such cool ideas! Like for example printing a little booklet with some chess puzles or sudoko or something like that! Also love the postcard thing!
I would like to have some fidgets, so a sleeve in which you can bring some pre cut Mini Origami paper would be one of my add ons.
Also, love the format of making it yourself.
I have a corner rounding punch and the use of hole punches in different sizes,
Liked your troubleshooting and the use of thinner elastic.
What you recreated with your paper phone is very sim8lar to somethkng, wise people have done as early as the rennessance, it is called commonplace book and was around for so long, that your naming threw me off track a little.
Paper phone is such a good idea to reach younger audiences, though.

Wow what a result at last really impressive i appreciate your hardwork and passionate about notebooks I love notebook cause I'm a note taker person❤
Thank you. I think that most notebook loving note taking persons might be generally awesome … just a personal theory. 🙂

Love it! I just made something similar to the last one. Just about the same size as my phone, custom notebook, holds cash and cards.
Awesome! what do you use the journal part for?
@@eastofawesome Just a catch all for now.
I want to see this dude make a "paper TV", and then it be just a hipster paper craft box that you cram random stuff into while it has zero fundamental functions of a television set. You know just like what a phone is fundamentally about is there in the name; it does things with sound, preferably transmits sound over distances sound wouldn't otherwise travel at given that the full word is "telephone".
What if he like made a box full of those paper cartoons where you flip the pages really fast to make the pictures move?
I’m going out right now to buy some ice cream. May have to get various types to find the best. After I finish the ice cream, I’m going out for a turkey.
P.S. You don’t have to rip. Just choose the direction, if there is one, that bends the easiest. That’s the grain.
hope the ice cream was as awesome as I think you deserved it. Thanks for the info about the grain … but I think with the huge cardboard sheets I still cant feel the difference…
I love this so much!!!!

This is such a fun video and project! Thank you for sharing and for including your beautiful cat :3 I wondered why you made a seperate stamp instead of directly stamping the leather? I've done some leather stamping before and it looks really sleek on a notebook project like this.
Yeah, we all know that the cats are the stars here … ✌️ As this is not real leather but a sheet of cork on top of some fabric most leather engraving/carving techniques would not have worked in this case. Or is it something different that you mean?
Oh to have pockets of a decent size…I wonder what that’s like. Lol
Great video! I’ve made my own notebooks and books before and was looking for a new bookbinding project!
any links for the specific kind of cork leather you are using?
Thanks.
Thank you. the Cork I used here and was very happy with I ordered from this (Germany-based) webshop: www.korkstoffe.de/en … don‘t know if they have affordable international shipping
Wonderful!
wow the stamps came out great! kudos for you for using film cameras! film has better aesthetics than digital.
thank you! I think another aspects why I like film is that it makes each shot something special again where on the smartphone they all vanish into the digital abyss so easily ...
Awesome!!!
does the carrier pigeon for sending messages come included?😂
i think the logo kind of looks like 2 phones intertwined which is cool
hehe, didn‘t notice that until now. Nice! ✌️
Love it!!!
well fuck now I just really want to start bookbinding again
Which pen are you using at the end in the pen loop?
Thanks a lot❤😊
Oh , you're very welcome!
i love this! would you ever consider selling one of these "paper phone" covers and inserts? i have a regular sized TN but i've been wondering if there was something more accessible, and the passport TN size didn't work too well for me.
Last year I also started making a little zine/booklet with more concise instructions on how to craft one for yourself. I thought I should finish that now also. Do you think that would help?
@ that would be awesome!!
Übrigens habe ich einen Zimmermannsbleistift in meinem Buch. Die haben ein flaches Profil. Schreiben aber etwas dick....Man muss immer wieder mal mit dem Taschenmesser nachspitzen.
Oh ja, die sind auch eine super Idee. Und manche Leute freuen sich ja auch immer über einen Vorwand für ein neues Taschenmesser … 😊
I am so confused. What is the point of this? Not being a smart-ass, but genuinely curious.
It's so you don't use your phone as much. Many people lately have been covering the topic of using pocket notebooks to stop from mindlessly scrolling on your phone (or to stop phone addiction) Hopefully this explanation helps!
If you are visually impaired, like me, It is very hard to use smaller screens because of the glare. I don’t put ant notes, calendars, or planning on anything electronic. I love this idea.
@@ximsbite Yes, it helped. Makes sense now. Thanks.
Do you know if the Rotendale Notebook Covers notebook clip is available as individual pieces?
Never heard of that, sry. What‘s that?
Rotendale (German system) memo pad covers have special fasteners for notepads.
@erkkikarvinen1783 Interesting … doesn‘t ring a bell. also could not find anything in the web from this brand. Do you have a link or something?
a few seconds in and i see papers and i hear german accent... subscribed.
hehe, thanks. (even though I personally rather feel like running away most of the time I hear a german accent speaking English) ✌️
@eastofawesome 😅😅 understandable. i, too, usually would run away from anyone speaking english with asian accent (japanese, chinese, indian, indonesian, singapore, etc) as i am asian myself.
You are so cute 😂❤
i don’t know how to replace basically anything that i use my phone for.. i mainly use it for communication, so texts and calls. also navigation is very important because i get lost literally everywhere i go. and instagram because i need it for my job. everything else takes place on specific devices, i made an ipod out of an old iphone 5c, reading is from a tolino, all note taking, planning etc. is happening in physical notebooks, video content runs on my ipad and for general navigating the web i use my macbook, because i just can’t use my phone for extended periods of time, it’s very uncomfortable to me.
yeah sounds like you already have your phone-alternative system in place. Well done! ✌️
So you made a midori?
Yes. It‘s obviously based on a treveler‘s notebook (with a few differences). in the previous notebook build videos I had always mentioned and linked the Midori books specifically.
Kannst du sie mehr und länger in die Kamera halten?
Hat ein bisschen gedauert aber ich hab noch mal ein video hochgeladen wo ich drauf geachtet hab das fertige Büchlein auch in Ruhe noch mal durchzublättern. ✌️
🎈👏😊
thank you! ✌️
ugh im annoyed at the clickbaity title and thumbnail.
What why, the vid is true to the thumbnail and title
@A.I.Christian.music1 Perhaps somehow they were expecting to be able to make phonecalls on it, lol, despite the thumbnail listing what it would contain. I love the thumbnail, it's one of the most accurate and least clickbaity I've seen.
sorry to hear that
You having to pull your phone for the calculator reminds me I used to have an A5 binder planner type thing with a thin, binder-type calculator, something like that would be awesome for one of those books! Totally forgot about that thing till now lol
Such a cool idea. I‘ll definitely be looking around for one of those!
Guides, patterns and templates.
Papers and covers and tools.
Have been watching book binding for about 4 years now and just realized that I have been using journals for 40 years and can never find the "one" and when I do find "one" close it can never be found again. BUT, if I created my own and could just make a new one, when the old is filled...now that would be a great solution.
If you make it they will come.
Hehe, awesome. Hope now you will find and make the ONE! 😁
