DARK ACADEMIA DIY'S | How To DIY Dark Academia Aesthetic

[@laverdisiquesi5912]

you're making living your Dark Academia dream so easy, cheap and accesible that it's just perfect. You're so talented yet underrated.

[@jordanmariec]

You're very kind to say so! I Hope my videos can inspire other to do the same!

[@st4rs.c0s]

Yeeeeeeesss she is so underated

[@shinobipanda2331]

A good idea for the book pages is to go to your local thrift shop / garage sales and look for vintage books that are in rough / poor condition. Sometimes (depending on where you'll look) you can find books that are absolutely desecrated for free or next to nothing, and they'd just get thrown out anyways.

[@jordanmariec]

Yes!!

My aesthetic is something I like to call Cottage-Goblin Academia, Corvid Edition. Your videos have quickly become some of my favorite

[@H0N4M11]

I call mine Cottagecore Hippie Vintagecore 😻

[@katied1390]

I love your tutorials! They're easy to follow, accessible and you don't need a whole bunch of fancy stuff.🧡💛

[@jordanmariec]

It makes me seriously so happy to know you love them!!! I try my best to use really cheep or free things because I want everyone to be able to make beautiful things❤️❤️❤️

[@NedasFlanderas]

If you want your papers look older and more medieval-aged, I would recommend you to use tea granules. Put them into big dish, take a few spoons of it, spill hot water, and then put in your papers. You can put some granules on the paper too, and after it dries, it will leave very good looking stains. Leave it for at least few hours or over night so it would be more brown. I also like to print something in black on my papers and then use for collaging.

[@mayacrod]

I love all these DIYs but sadly I've done them all before! For the notebook instead of cardstock for the cover, I used a piece of leather from an old jacket and watercolour paper on the inside. I use it for a simple floriography journal in which I go out and paint the flowers then add in pen their meanings

[@emxry]

:0 That is so cool-

[@mayacrod]

@@emxry thank you!

[@emxry]

[@laurenl3213]

You could also wrap the notebook in fabric instead of paper. Love your videos! ❤️

[@jordanmariec]

ooooooo I love that idea!!!! A nice wool could be so cool!!!

[@aresroyle7809]

for the paper making i also stuck it in the oven at a low heat for ten minutes! i found that it really brought out the golden colour :)

[@chocotania1370]

I recently found your channel and absolutely fell in love with the content. The DIYs are creative and beginner-friendly and the videos are smooth and calming. I hope you can do royalcore next. Keep up the good work.

[@jordanmariec]

Awww I'm so glad you like it!!❤️ Royalcore has most definitely been on my list of videos, I'll try and see if I have some projects that will work for it!!!

Loving your dark Academia I just did a video as well this week on dark Academia but this has given me much inspiration for fall time decorations

For the book black fabric also works really well, and you could add a bookmark ribbon between the pages and spine

for the aged paper i would highly recommend letting it air dry/pressing it between 2 towels before putting it on the make shift washing line, i've done it before and it can rip the paper if you put it on straight away :)

[@mastersadvocate]

Hello from Canada! I like your DIY Dark Academia crafts aa lot because they are doable, and I don't need to buy a lot of stuff from the craft store! My fave is the little book with its tea-stained pages! I like making books, and your method is new to me. I like your clear instructions for sewing the pages together! Thanks for sharing! Cheers! ~Janet in Canada P. S. I have subscribed to your channel!

For anyone who wants to make the notebook bigger or is worried about the thread breaking, you can buy wax coated string used for bookbinding and it'll hold much better

Hi !!. I love your videos so much! They bring so much joy and happiness. Just a request, can you please make a bookshelf tour video. You can totally skip this idea if you want to but through all your video your bookshelf has been catching my eye and I just thought to give you a suggestion. Have a nice day!

[@jordanmariec]

Hi! It makes me so happy to know you enjoy them❤️ I don't know if I'll ever do more than just show a few books on my KZbin channel, but I do a ton of book content on my instagram and I'm much more likely to do a full tour on there. The link is at the top right of my channel if you want to go check that out!

[@A3ONY]

coffee and tea stained paper is good how ever the acidity in the coffee will make what you put on the paper not last offset/nutralize the ph balance with baking soda should make your markings last longer. for the sketchbook/notebook part I found that old t-shirt and or faux-leather works too faux leather you can use with cardboard details on the cover to give it a raised detail look but best to use fabric glue for these. If you also want the signatures/paper more sturdy and not rip out of the book glue down 1 paper piece from the inner book to each of the inner covers you can do this in place of the extra black paper that they show in the video. Happy DIY ;3

[@sara.s.k]

If I'm being honest fairycore has been on my list of videos to do for what seems like forever and honestly I really WANT to do it but I've had some set backs with a few projects for the aesthetic which is the only reason I hav'nt made a video on it yet. I really really hope it will be coming soon though because I really enjoy the look of fairycore!! Also thank youuu!! I hope you have a great day as well😊❤️

[@lilithmende6481]

you can also iront the paper to get out the wrinkles:)

[@cl0wnju1ce87]

i cant stop watching your videos, i just wanna make all of these! (and I probs will lol!) however, tiny advice for the moon phases, the middle phase on your bookmark doesn't exist! the bookmark you were trying to make seemed to be the second half of the moon phase, skipping the new moon (the phase were the moon is in front of the sun so the moon isn't visible) and the third quarter moon! (where only half of the moon is visible to us!) the actual moon phase you'd be looking for is a waning gibbous moon phase! it's basically a full moon minus a waxing cresent moon! if you're confused, you can just google it if you'd like! also to clear up confusion, waxing means "to increase" so that's when the moon starts as a new moon and is slowly growing to a full moon. waning means "to decrease", so continuing from a full moon and slowly shrinking to a new moon! hope this helps! :)

wow I had no idea! Thanks for the info!

Just FYI, that no one ever mentions when making tea or coffee-stained paper. Both mediums are highly acidic. Eventually the paper will rot away. That's why archival paper is non-acidic.
