Hello!

In today's video, I'll show you how I create a handmade journal using a vintage book cover that is missing its spine. I'll share how I put together the signatures, choose a material for the end papers, create a spine and put the whole thing together using a five hole pamphlet stitch.

In case you missed the previous video on cleaning and prepping vintage books for journals, here's a link: youtu.be/jJuhBs9OpCA

Here's the video on the best method for printing on fabric: youtu.be/rgC-pPZMrUc

I also have a couple of playlists for making journals with vintage books where you might find other helpful tips. Here are the links:
