If you want a comprehensive guide on beginner bookbinding, my new book is coming out on December 5, 2023! Every preorder gets a bonus ebook with extra content. Go to my website for preorder links: www.bittermelonbindery.com

this is perfect for my current project! I hate spiral bound notebooks, but all the best planners come with spirals. I also love your editing style, it's very calming to watch you work

This is so great for custom school notebooks! I have so much random loose leaf paper lying around and feel so bad about never using it, but this is perfect! As convenient as the kokuyo refillable notebooks are, I’ve had problems with them opening up in my bag so this is a much better way for me to use it! Thanks!!!!!

Wow, this has been the best tutorial in book binding I've seen yet here on KZread. I can't wait to try this technique. Thank you for sharing. ❤~Gina ~❤

This is a confidence builder for me. Many thanks for your beautiful gentle teaching...no stressing.

BMB- I use a small drill with a 1/8” or 1/16” wood bit to pre-drill holes for stab binding. A couple of binder clamps secure the loose sheets so they don’t slip. Place a scrap of binders board beneath the paper stack to prevent tear out on the bottom paper sheets and use firm gentle pressure to guide the drill bit through. Run it through 2 or 3 times and you’ll get a nice clean stab hole.

I love how precise, thoughtful and careful you are in your bookbinding process. It’s a joy to watch ❤😊

This is just what I needed in my life! Quick easy binding projects!!❤

Wow, this makes perfect sense, great explanation 😊

🇳🇱thank you so much for this tutorial; learning so much from you❣

Thank you so much! This is what I've been searching and searching and searching for for days to find!

I love the way you teach!

This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you for the clear commentary throughout. Well done.

I've had loose leaf 3 hole punch laying around for years and I never knew how I should bind it to use it up! Going to try this now. Great tutorial, thank you!

What a great video. Thank you ❤

First! 😂 Well, I just figured out what to do with my printed papers. Thank you!

Yeahh you're #1!

Very nice, thanks for sharing! I've done perfect-bound looseleaf paper a couple of times but I like this as an alternative. I have a big stack of paper leftover from my kids and need to bind some!

Both versions of the notebooks are useful and straightforward. Your scoring before folding is easily forgotten but very useful. I can't get over how sturdy and well made your ruler is! Missed shots of your special guard dog Lucy - hope she is O.K. Very fine video.....

I’m going to laminate my cover.

This was such an amazing tutorial! I now know what I can do for end of year gifts for my students. Can't wait to try and please, please keep doing these fabulous tutorials.

Tremendous video! Thank you.

Love this! Can’t wait to try this with my loose paper.

I love this! I was looking for a cost effective way of teaching this method with my students. We all have loose leaf paper.

Thank you! This is will be so helpful for all my old drawings done on printer paper. XD I was actually trying to figure out how to make them look better today. They are all currently stored in 6 large 3 ring binders. And they don't look very nice on my shelf. This will be so much better. Thank you once again.

Wow, what an awesome little project! Looks great!

OoOoOo this looks fun! I’ll be sure to give it a try, thanks!😁

amazing tutorial! very helpful! thank you

This is super helpful and very informative. Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to creating my own 💞👌

Thanks so much Chanel, love this video, great to have another way to quickly deal with loose paper! ❤

You've shown us, yet another design I would love to try. I have tons of decorative paper that I didn't know what I should so with it and this would be perfect.Side note: I am currently trying to start a shop and I am trying to work on my marketing efforts. Whew...it's tough. lol 🥲

YOU ARE AMAZING i was already following you and thanks to you bc i made myself a little notebook and i had a few loose leaf. Now im going to try

Me encantó, gracias

thanks you!!!

Eu faço bullet journal e estou tendo muita dificuldade de achar um bom para comprar pra fazer meu bujo de 2024. Aqui no Brasil existem pouquíssimas opções de bujo de qualidade, que atendam minhas necessidades e que tenham capas bonitas (as capas ou são simples demais ou são muito exageradas, não existe meio termo). Acabei de conhecer seu canal e estou encantada com o seu trabalho. Esse tutorial está perfeito, muito explicativo. Acho que vou fazer meu próprio caderno pra bujo, de acordo com esse tutorial. Muito obrigada, você simplesmente salvou meu bujo de 2024 porquê sinceramente eu já estava quase desistindo de fazer. Muito obrigada 💖✨️

thank you very much for your lessons and video, it’s very cool....please write what kind of paper you used inside this notebook? what with holes... and where to buy one? thank you very much for your answer....I wish you success in everything.

would it be prudent to put sewing stations near each end of the spine, to make the tie-up around the top and bottom of the spine?

Could all the pages be creased where they open, prior to assembly? That would make it easier to lay open.
