- In this video I take you through the first steps of hand-binding a book. I begin by tearing down large sheets of paper, then folding them into signatures, piercing sewing holes, cutting the linen tapes, waxing the thread, and finally sewing the book block.
Subsequent videos will detail gluing the book block, backing, trimming and rounding, and casing in. Thank you for watching!

![📕 DIY Moleskine Style NOTEBOOK 👉 SINGLE SHEET Bookbinding [ NO Stitching ]](/img/n.gif)
Beautiful Skill. My best friend from Scotland started learning Book Binding when she was 12. She did that all here life. I wish she was still with us to see this. She would have loved the video. Thank you for sharing.
I'm glad the video evoked fond memories for you. Thank you for watching and commenting.
This comment is beautiful!
i remake paper and i am 12🤭 😌

I respect somebody that takes the time to show the glass collection at the window... only good things can come out of that...
I found most of them in my flower garden!
“So I made a novel ...”
“Don’t you mean wrote?”
“No...”
Omg😂😂😂
Perfect lol
How accurate! 😝
God why in hell was that so funny
Rite lol
This was so relaxing to watch! I’ve been wanting a new journal. Maybe instead of buying one, I’ll try my best to make one!
Totally worth doing!
Amazing 😻
How'd it go dude? Im sure it looks lovely
if its a one off book I'd recommend buying a handmade journal off eBay or Etsy instead, cheaper than the tools and supplies you'll need and you're supporting a small buisness, if its just for the experience though look for a local bookbinding class.
@@karl810 how can i buy one?
I took bookbinding as an elective in college when I was training to be a jeweler. The sounds of the paper folding and the feel of a bone folder running over the seam can't be beat! Easily one of my favorite hobbies. You're obviously incredibly skilled at what you do, and that's lovely to see!
I have been waiting 11 years to find an answer as to how to honor my father’s letters, journals, diaries, “snippets” as he called his jottings. All found in an old suitcase after he passed, unknown to his children. He was a craftsman, like Dennis, and as sad as it is that he is not alive to go on this journey with me, I am able to labor in love a book such as what Dennis is making, I am not alone. Right now I am going through each video while taking notes. My sewing/craft room is cleared out completely of distractions, as I begin this exciting adventure. I hope others will follow me with their thoughts, and Dennis has promised to be there for me also. I cannot thank you enough for that! Life is good!
It sounds like an amazing project and I'm glad to have give some inspiration!😊
Love the attention to detail in craftsmanship and in the camera work.
My mother's an aspiring writer. Her works are truly incredible, but we're not financially ready enough to publish them officially. I really want her stories to be published in hardcopies, and it breaks my heart to see even though we all want it so bad we unfortunately need to have more patience. So until that happens, I want to do something really special for her. That's why I'm here, trying to learn bits and bobs from this wonderful craftsmanship through as many tutorials as I can. Once I'm bit more confident, I shall print her stories one by one at home, and bind the pages together and try my best for it to look lovely and strong. And I'll give it to her, hopefully on her birthday this year in May! Thank you for posting these detailed and absolutely magnificent videos and walk throughs, I'm learning so much and I'm looking forward to making the very first of my own! Have a beautiful day❤️❤️❤️
That's sweet of you. Maybe give self publishing a shot, Lulu, Amazon kdp ... etc
@@Jebrill Thanks sm! Oh that's a wonderful idea! I'm not familiar with the procedure entirely but I'll definitely look into it, thank you sm for the idea!❤️❤️❤️
How did making the book go!?!
@@elkesorcery Unfortunately, so many things kept all of us so occupied throughout the last few months I didn't have much time to make the book :(
But I have started working on editing the text on my laptop as I've noticed that the story I've chosen, mummy has not used many punctuations but rather wrote on using "...."💀😭
So I'm editing the whole text right now. Afterwards I'll either make the book from scratch (perhaps the original copy?🥺❤️) or I'll get them printed from a cyber cafe, then made into a book (we have a shop at my grandparents' locality where they've been binding and rebinding books since almost a century!😍❤️)
I hope I can make it by Christmas, fingers crossed🥹❤️
@@crazylifeofmine293 that sounds lovely and such a sweet present, no matter when it gets delivered:)
May be one of the most beautiful videos I’ve watched. I would love to learn to do this well. I have many electronic books, but I love holding a physical book in my hand. Gorgeous...
Thank you so much! And I do agree that real books are better!
After seeing your Dune part 1 I really wanted to see more of your work
Bravo à tous les artisans relieurs sans qui nous n’aurions plus ces merveilleux livres qui nous suivent plaises tant
I stumbled on this beautiful handmade book series, and watched the whole thing straight through. Mesmerising, fascinating, and what a stunning result.
Thank you for saying so.
I respect somebody that takes the time to show the glass collection at the window... only good things can come out of that
Astounding craftsmanship and skill! Surely the end result is priceless. So very well done, and a joy to watch. Thank you!
I love the sound when you cutting the paper
So satisfying!
I'm fond of this Art 💓💓💓💓 it's so relaxing
Thank you so much 😀
Books are my friends. Always had a nice library....no internet can compare!
So true!
I like this one, too. Very simple, and easy to follow. It's the kind that of video that a person can just Watch and Do, right along with you. The fact that UA-cam (well, premium) has the option to slow down a video then I can pause it whenever I need to, in order to DO the step I am watching, I love it! So after watching all of your most recents I decided to go back and watch them all from the beginning (as I try to create my own little masterpieces, haha)! Thanks again!
This is so soothing to watch. Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
once i'm done with my novel i intend to hand bind an extra special copy for my grandmother
I started making very small bound notebooks, as a way to keep my hands occupied and my mind focused during a stressful time, but I've always been afraid to venture into something as beautiful as this. Now I've been diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer, and while the prognosis is good so far, I'm learning that there's really not enough time to dither about getting into things. I am now going over this beautiful series again to start a project like this.
Even without speaking a word , you made a wonderful tutorial! Really it's worth watching.
I learned it through this video.
Great !
I already subscribed
Thank you
Thank you! 😃I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is so amazing! I’d love to try this out and hopefully it comes out as gorgeous as hers ❤
thank you for posting this, amazing!
Stunning and outstanding!
So beautiful to watch. I would love to learn how to make it! Beautiful, very very beautiful and full of peace and love!
Thank you! Yes, it is very calming work.
This is craftsmanship. A true artist.
Thanks!
Thank you! I am so excited to try this soon! What a lovely simple video that shows the true art of a hand sewn binding!
I've been trying for days to find a video that I can actually understand and go along with in this one is the only one that has worked thank you so much just letting you know I appreciate it
I'm glad it was helpful!
I followed your videos to make a sketchbook for both personal sketches and my school exam project, they turned out lovely. I really love your work 👍
Awesome. Thank you.
This video helped me a lot....I tend to learn better just by seeing, than when someone is describing every single step. I don't know why, but those scissors you use has my attention....like they have created a lot....have a story behind them. Thank you for your video.
I also learn best by watching, so you're not alone! Thanks for watching.😊
music sounds like a romantic chapter❤
book lover right here❤❤
I do love books! :)
Absolutely stunning video
So beautiful! And the video was beautiful too!
beautiful to watch
Best tutorial/ASMR video EVER! 😍
Nagyon köszönöm! Thank You very much!
This so beautiful and amazing I always wanted to make my own book so I will try it!! Thanks for the video its great 👍
You’re welcome 😊
please take a video of the detailed assembly fit on which you made holes in the paper
thank you for master-class :)
Always welcome
Nicely done!
I probably shouldn't try to do this while it's almost my exam week
I hope you do well on your exams!
love the video!!! i gonna make my book right now
Have fun!
That was wonderful, thank you
Thank you too!
I really like your vids! I’m learning much. Semper Fi
Its so relaxing to watch such craftmanship. Thanks a lot. I would like to try it but stitching was not shot end to end. Hope you make more videos explaining this stitching method.
I illustrated a book while I was 12 I didn't have much money , I bought a book for 5 dollars and started drawing , I'm 13 now and I posted the video on UA-cam and I think I'm not buying another book again 😆😆😆😆
LINK PLEASE
That is awesome!
You do really hard work, I really really appreciate you and your hard work may god give you long live and happiness 😀💖
Thank you so much. You are too kind.😊
@@FourKeysBookArts hehe thank you
Reminds of my days in my great grandfather's garage. But I was dissecting 🐸🐸frogs!
I ❤️ your cradle!!
Thanks!
You are creative I wish I could make a book like yours
I agree with Lisa Jones
ua-cam.com/video/EL9NBb0ihI8/v-deo.html part 2
You are very skilled too so these without using clips to keep the pages from slipping. I am using recycled packing paper and it's a bit fluffy from wrinkles, and that may be why I'm having trouble wrestling with it. Some binding clips do help me and your video is super helpful. This is a wonderful meditative multi-step process.
Oh, I see that I've been missing knots!
Thank you! You might try pressing your packing paper under some heavy weights for a few days to try to flatten out some of the wrinkles. I hope that helps!
This is amazing! Love it! Your filming is fantastic too!
Thank you so much!
Talent
Awesome
So charming
Amazing👍👍
a labour of love
Truly.
New subscriber! I love everything art and crafting too!
Thanks for subbing!
This is the job for me.
So cute 💗💗.
Thank you! 😊
I'm going to try this so I can keep track of swaps and wishes in FB groups
I wish can have these powerful skills
*Doesn't use a frame*
*Doesn't pull through each hole, just poke, poke, and THEN pull threads???*
"What an unbridled maniac."
*Continues eating tortilla chips*
This made me laugh out loud. Thx....lol...
What a strange yet beautifully confident comment...
Oh so amazing i will try to make one too i love this craft ❤😍
I'm sure you'll enjoy the process!
lovley
I think this is a traditional way of binding a book. I like it very much. I wanted to learn about it long time ago. Thank you so much for your tutorial clip. Step by step you slowly show everyone the way of stapling the quire of paper together. I wonder if you could possibly show me how to bind the quire one with the quire tow and so on. I would like to know how the quire one is bound with one another. I have some old book and I am sure I will rebound them soon in the way you show publicly. Thank you.
You're very welcome! You could try watching my video other video here, which shows the sewing in detail. ua-cam.com/video/Wy3cGFmXS_Q/v-deo.html Thanks!
I like how you made a book.
Thank you
would love to see someone do this, but handwriting a book.
Noted!
Let's promote each others' creativity
Beautiful wark brother 👍👍👍
Thanks ✌️
Brilliant Bro that's weary

Thanks ✌️
Oh that's wonderful
Thank you!
@@FourKeysBookArts
Your welcome 🥀
Very good job u are doing
Thank you!
awesome
Thanks!
After watching a tons of videos i finally found the one that suits me! Finally i am able to bind my book. Thank You So Much!
A very helpful video indeed.
Glad it was helpful!
I have just started to Book Binding and made my first notebook. It has lots of mistakes (but anyway, it is so special for me). After watching your video I recognised some of them (I am learning in the same way as your's), and learned practical tools. For example I have just bought an awl but it is a bit hard to use for me and it makes large holes. And now I am planning to buy a Punching Cradle :) Thank you for sharing these all. It seems like I will spend lots of time in your youtube channel :) Lots of love from Turkey.
Do you know anything on the waxed used over the paper in the last video
@@e8dazawk61 Sorry I couldn't understand. Do you mean the glue?
@burakdalklc885 no on the last video part 4 or part 5 the cover page of the book shows the wax bar being rolled on the book cover paper. Is that wax bar available for purchase
@@e8dazawk61 Ok I understood. As I know that wax is for agate burnisher to slip easily on marbling. Agate burnisher is used to make the marbling smoother, shinier and more protected. I don't know the wax he's using but we use regular solid soap for this purpose.
Wawooo this is cool, good job sir, i would like to learn from you,
Eye:making this book is super easy huh🙄
Brain:let's do it
Hand : sorry guys😅
😄Too true! Thankfully the hands can learn after enough reps.
@@FourKeysBookArts Can u plzz pin my above message..
hello, what you put on the spine of the book along with the stitching is some kind of fabric? The same thing happens to me in part 2 of these videos, I don't know what materials you use.
ps Excellent work, very admirable.
The book is sewn on two linen tapes and the fabric along the spine is called mull. Thanks for watching!
What do you call that wood thing where it will keep the paper align while your punching it with awl
It's called a piercing cradle. I show how to make one from an old book cover in this video: ua-cam.com/video/5EDB1ZXTvPY/v-deo.html
@@FourKeysBookArts Oooh! I mostly make my own sketchbooks for my own gratification and I always wondered how I was supposed to get my pierces aligned through the signatures--piercing them flat on my cutting mat isn't fool-proof
Sweet I like it
I'm glad
Hi there, bit confused here sorry haha When you cut the large sheets into more manageable sizes you then fold them over but then after the 1st fold you turn them so that the fold is now at the top then fold them again. Doesn't that now leave you with a 2 layer page with a fold at the top? Sorry if I missed something I'm re-watching while I make a book following your videos.
Thanks again! Stunning work!
Thanks a lot
Most welcome
@@FourKeysBookArts with your video's help I actually made one last month :)
In some of your other videos, you did this super cool thing where the explainy bits were in the subtitles. What are the odds we can get that again for this series?
I LOVVVVVVE to make a book
❤❤❤
IT’S D&D TIME!
You know it. Roll for initiative!
👍👍
hi this is a really useful thing thankfull im trying to learn book binding and im 10
You can do it!
I did enjoy watching this however I found it a bit frustrating as a lot of the time I couldn't see what you were doing as your hand was in the way. I hope you don't mind a little criticism of an otherwise very beautiful video.
I couldn’t agree more! This was filmed without retakes and so the shots I got were what went into the video, and it’s hard to keep the hands out of the way with such work. But I’m more conscious of the video quality now, and will work on my filming techniques. I’m glad you found some enjoyment in the final result!
@@FourKeysBookArts yes, as i said it was still enjoyable.
You could try a forward overhead camera view.
👍🏻👍🏻
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
How can anyone not like it, in such a beautiful video? It comes from those who don't know how to do the same, and they are envious. They are poor people 😪😒🙄
Thank you! I'm sure most people agree with you.
Love the way this video shows all the angles and details! But is there somewhere instructions or smth, where are all the measurements etc ? :)
😭😭😍😍😍
