I just want to say: thank you for not being cruel to your dog and not stressing her out! ♥ I don't know what the prompts in the book were, but I can figure out at least some of them were stressful and abusing dog's trust.
And the way you upcycled the book: brilliant job!
I love the book. It looks like a professionally made book. Even the back cover, I can't see any flaws. You make it look so easy.

I really like the repurpose idea of this new series, honestly I've been tired of so many "old book recycled ideas" which just turn out to be some awkward decorations and throw away after displayed for a while. looking forward to episode 3 or a compilation episode in future :)
Your dog is awesome 💓🐾
I totally agree that it’s best to have the join in the wire inside the back cover!! Here’s an alternative option for the binding to maybe make it more secure…. If you flip the whole block when you bind it (put pages on first and the covers last) the pages will be “trapped” in the larger ends of the loops, so that none of the individual pages can fall out of the gap in the join. This can sometimes mean that the back cover could fall off, but as your back cover is so thick that’s unlikely. Hopefully that makes sense!! Maybe you’ve already tried it that way and didn’t like it, so no worries.
Ps. Kona is so adorable!!

Great idea. I have a picture of a favorite landmark I'd love to put on a notebook. I''ll put a protective layer of mod podge or something over the picture so it doesn't get scuffed up. Thanks for sharing!
I have the original Cinch...LOVE it and have never had any problems. What a great idea to put your dog's pic on the front; great gift idea for my dog-loving daughter. I might steal...er...borrow it...😉

I love it! Your doggie is so cute! I would love to see you sketch pictures of her in the book. That tool is cool and a good idea for a book binding lover like you 👍

Very cute. That would be a great dog themed sketchbook.
I’ve been looking at buying this tool so can’t wait for your review

hi Jennifer! I’ve been thinking of sharing this with you, good that the notification got me here early on - I’ve been shopping for some book binding supplies from my local store and they had some literature so I went to look. they had a selected stories from bookbinding history and they give an option to buy the signatures so you can bind them yourself - what a joy! 🙂
also, nice work, I really enjoy your videos!

Is this a series? I love these sorta reinventions, they’re always fascinating! Comin back to the channel after a few years- really enjoyin this flip, and I hope y’all doin wel|!
Welcome back! I think I will make this a series. It's a fun challenge for me and hopefully interesting to watch 😄
This turned out super cute! I do wish binding supplies were cheaper lol. My favorite office tool was the comb binder to bind new sales team training guides. Binding day was my absolute favorite. 😂 I loved that job for a lot of reasons but getting to indulge myself with the binding machine was one of them!
I look forward to your review on the Cinch. I’ve been eyeing them for a while but not sure I want to spend the bucks.

Wonderful video and creation of a lil sketchbook! I have a similar binding machine, mine was purchased for creating calendars. The “arm” used for punching through the papers is much bigger and the area of holes longer like an eleven inch sized sheet. My wife and I made calendars for Christmas gifts for our families one year and the printing and binding costs were let’s just say VERY STEEP! I purchased the machine, rings, clear plastic covers and backing boards for 1/4 the cost of one printing! We made calendars for 10 years with these supplies and still had some left when we passed the job onto younger members of the family who wanted to take over but wanted to change the format. I did make a watercolor painting pad with my machine and it took some muscle to punch through the backing board, the longer handle did help, but I was worried about breaking it! Or the keys used for punching or cutting through the surfaces. I only did one but I think if I ever try making another watercolor book I would use your screw punch tool to get the holes started! I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise and joy in binding!

This turned out absolutely gorgeous! What a good way to reuse calendar pages.

Love this idea of reusing old books!! Also, I'm here for the Kona doodles in that sketchbook!!
Nice tutorial! I bought a full size Cinch on clearance last year. I've been enjoying making my own watercolor notepads recently. Don’t know if you noticed, but their wires are an off size, not the most readily available on Amazon. I had to really pay attention to the holes per inch when restocking with other brands. Still, I'm loving this binding tool and looking for more projects to make. Can’t wait to see what else you come up with.
Yes I had to learn that too, 2:1 or 4:1 😅

@Sea Lemon • Terrific video, Jennifer. I'm really looking forward to your review because I love the idea of doing custom sized notebooks for different purposes and with different papers. Spiral binding seems to be an easier skill than sewing and pasting.

So great! Thx
Beautiful work as always, absolutely love the result ♥
You've been inspiring me to making notebooks and sketchbooks for a few years now for both myself and as gifts. I use and shape normal wire you find at a hardware store and do every single hole on the pages and covers by hand because I'm that crazy haha, but now seriously those machines were way too pricey when I first searched for them and couldn't even afford the cheapest one. Gonna give it another look since that one is the perfect size for me, might get lucky.
More of this, please!
Thanks from Chile 🇨🇱
God bless
Very nice video. Great ideas.
Kona 😍🤩 I haven’t worked with wire binding yet….although I’ve been thinking of re-using spiral notebook wire…..but how to shape?? 😅

Punch before you glue!!!
I love your creative content, but you get extra points for getting your dog into your videos. ♥
Thank you for another vid! I really love the repurposing series.

I have the full sized version of this tool. I struggle with the denser chipboard also. Just thought you'd want to know. :)
Good to know! I just assumed any 2mm thick chipboard would punch easily with this.
@@SeaLemonDIY • Would it be possible to do 2 1mm thick then glue them together?
Awesome job

Shocked there is such a cheap comb binder... this definitely didn't come up when I searched for comb binders on amazon! Until I searched for the specific product.
great vid as always!🦌💌❤️📚

go Jennifer! Kona’s picture ! Gotta smile:) love it! Is the paper 80# card stock? I do like this video and hope you do more! Thank you
I have the bigger Cinch and I have so many problems every time I use it. I cannot get the hang of it. You make it look so easy. 👍🏾Guess I just need to practice more.🤷🏾♀️
How do you like the cinch? Any tips?
@@SeaLemonDIY I like it, when I can get it to work.😝 I don't use it much because I get frustrated by it. Like I said, I need to practice more. Unfortunately I don't have any tips,but you looked like you had it pretty well handled in you video. 👍🏾
Yasssss
OMG a wire binder for $50? How did I not know about this?
💖
Is it possible to stitch a book binding with Cinch holes? I have the cinch, but I hate the wire spiral, it always bends weird. 😭😭
Hi I really need your help😭🔥 Do you have any laptop rack ideas using dollar trees item or anything DIY 🥺✨ btw I really miss your Halloween DIY theme videos
maybe your board is stone board and that is why is so hard to punch with the cinch.
I have never been impressed with ANY of the We R Memory Keepers products.
