My grandchildren love when I repurpose old books and make journals for them. It is worth its money. You can laminate the covers before you punch, it makes for a sturdier book.

I’ve bound scoresheets for our favorite card game “65”. I give them as gifts and keep one for myself! When my high school class celebrated a reunion, I bound the booklets each classmate received. It was a wonderful keepsake!

My first thought was binding children's artwork!

Great idea! I threw away my kindergarten artwork because I didn't know what to do with all the loose sheets...

Thank you so much. I purchased a cinch, sold it and re-purchased it and have had it for two years in the box. I just made my first project thanks to this video

I want to make some recipe books, with all my favorite recipes, to give as Christmas gifts. You could also make a personalized coloring book. Just print our coloring sheets and bind them together.

SO RELIEVED I found your post! Now I know how to use my new toy!!

I have the original Cinch machine. When I was a youth leader Of 3 and 4 year olds at our church, I would make a little photo album with pictures of our activities that we did through out the year. I think the parents liked them just as much as the kids did and I enjoyed making them.

I totally remember as a kid going with my mom to her work and playing with a binding thing like that and I would make little notebooks with different color paper. It’s kind of nostalgic for our generation maybe. Thanks for influencing yet another crafting gadget I must get. 😂

Awesome that you could figure out how to use it as a kid. When I was in school for design we had to do a project with binding like this and I failed horribly. The teachers called my notebook "dangerous and sloppy".

Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial. I’m getting my cinch in the mail tomorrow and I thought I better look at some tutorials before attempting to use it. Your tutorial is so informative. I hate reading directions! Probably because they’re so hard to understand. But watching someone else do it is so much easier to understand. So, thanks a bunch!

I've had mine for years, you can make calendars, recipe books with tabs, notebooks with fabric covers.... I have a kind of ruler that tells you what size of binding wires you need! It's an amazing tool! 😊😊

I so appreciate the comprehensive tutorial. You may want to try the Cinch chipboard and the WRM bookguide. The guide will help you measure a cover for any size chipboard and the chipboard as a cover can better protect the contents of a journal or book. Thanks again for your time. Its greatly appreciated

Maybe you could do that front and back covers at the same time, so they’d match perfectly and be oriented the way you want them.

I have had one for years. I have made notebooks and flip chats. This make me want to pull it out and create a new notebook. I use chip board with decorative paper glued down to give the notebook more stability. I love creating my own little notebooks to give as gifts

Pretty notebook! I’ve had my cinch for a year now and have used it several times. Yes! Follow those instructions! I found it particularly important to press the spiral binding multiple times turning it slightly to get it closed nice and round rather than oval (slightly squashed!). Hopefully that helps anyone who struggles with that part!

Lovely video as always. Just a small tip, though I am sure you have figured that out already, you can punch a lot of pages at once and I punch all of the pages for the first half of the page, then adjust the machine and do the second half. It is so easy because they have figured it all out for you so the holes all line up. I had bunch of painting books that were bound. I unbound them and made them spiral so I could make the pages lay flat when I was doing a project. I have not done anything in a while-you have inspired me to make some little notebooks for my grand daughter.

I made policy envelopes from decorative paper and used them as the pages to store our important documents. Also covered chipboard with decorative paper to use for the front and back covers. 😊
