Fascinating how similar and yet different we make our journals! 😊 Love watching your process and getting a sneak peek into your mind! 😃❤

[@kandrews6356]

An awesome Journal, Luise. I love the blue denim (denim is my favorite fabric), binding, stitching, and Barbara is going to be so thrilled to receive it. AMAZING, Luise... 113 Journals... CONGRATULATIONS. I'm so excited for DEPHEMEREMBER to start and see what Barbara's Journal to you is going to look like. Thank you for sharing.

[@craftsocialkelli]

I really appreciate that you kept the struggles in your process. The journal is marvelous!

[@jennieadamsMM]

I agree with you that the binding process is exciting but anxiousness sneaks into the process.🤗💖🦋

[@ishka28]

Beautiful. A telephone book makes an excellent book cradle

[@jayneelinor]

That cover is so gorgeous! I just watched Barbara bind your book and it seemed easier.

[@jillian30]

WONDERFUL! 💖

[@Afra_and_Josephine]

Hi Luise, perhaps someone already wrote to you, I didn't read all the comments but the cradle is actually supposed to be used with paper template. You just take a piece of sturdier paper and make one line of the holes from top to bottom, something like you have in your spine and fold it in the line where you have the holes. Then you put the signature in the cradle like you did and put the template in as kind of the middle "page" and then you pierce signature with awl through the holes in the template. I think Nik the Booksmith has a video on KZbin where she shows how to make your own cradle and how to use it. ❤

[@toniscott1029]

This is already a great journal!

Im so glad you are trying that ruler! I just got one from a friend and was curious how it would work

[@sandyloer2249]

Etsy has book cradles, I bought one from there, very helpful!

You can make a stand to enable you to put holes into book pages. Take two pieces of cardboard the length you need to insert your papers. The width can be 4 to 6 inches wide each. Use duct tape to tape the cardboard together length wiseMake supports for each end that will allow your taped pieces to form a “v”. Place your pages into the v and make your holes. Fold up the when not in use

[@BellaSunshyn]

Luise, how much thread do we need to make sure we had enough? The journal is gorgeous, I’m sure Barbara will love it!

[@floatintoadstudios]

Ugh! I wish you were either in the US, or I was in Germany. I do woodworking and fixing that book cradle to fit your ruler would be so easy for me to do! I wish I could do it for you.

[@tambrayork1652]

They are on Amazon also under Book Binding Cradle.

A little notice. If you like the Craft Emotions bookbinders glue make sure you stock up if you can because Craft Emotions stopped so you won't be able to get it anymore in the near future!!!

Hello. I love when you get excited or exasperated a speak from English to German. Sorry the helper book cradle didn’t fit your new tool.

You can erase permanent marker by drawing over it with a dry wipe pen. Then you just wipe it off. 🙂

I found a book cradle on Etsy for 2.99
