Journal with books and additional info

Please read before starting!
If you want to make a book, follow this tutorial.

If you want to make your book but you either don't want or can't fold your paper in half, follow the guides on this page and then finish making your book with the other tutorial.

Hope that makes sense!

If you like my tutorial, donate a point?

:star: I had to use a hole punch since the holes were too small to demonstrate the process properly.
:star: I don't like this method very much and I don't recommend it.
:star: The book won't open flat like the other version does.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for making this tutorial! I just used it for one of my class design projects, and it was the perfect solution for my paper types and subject matter. Really thorough and helpful. C:

This would actually look and function just like the book in your other tutorial if you simply used a hinged cover (ie. shorter boards on the front and back with a tri-fold spine). Someone may have mentioned this already? I'm not sure. I haven't read every comment. I've repaired and made many books this way and most people can't even tell the difference between the stab stitch and coptic stitch once you get the covers on! I hope this helps!

That's true, thanks for mentioning that. I have recommended to people looking to repair books to try this method. ^^

Just from looking at this, I think this method would work best for refurbishing a worn book. Either old books or something of the like, but something where you don't have access to the folds.

By the way, I am so in love with this tutorial... I am thinking about refurbishing some old books I have, as well as making journals for my sisters' birthdays coming up :3. Thank you!!!!

That's very true.

I'd love to know how they turn out, so please feel free to share the results. (both made and refurbished books) :D

The holes you punched is just what i have to do with the neede holes, right? And then i can cover it up with the ending of the other tutorial. I just want to be sure :)

The holes were hard to see, so I just made them larger for the tutorial. ^^
Yep, this works instead of the other method for the sewing. I don't recommend this one if possible though because the finished book doesn't open flat like the other method allows.
