The Hobbit DIY Red Book of Westmarch | Sea Lemon

[@SeaLemonDIY]

Hey Hobbit fans! Let's take a trip to the Shire and learn how to make Bilbo's journal, the Red Book of Westmarch :) bit.ly/BilboBook

[@adamw2621]

You taught me to make my own watercolor paper journals, that others envy, and now you do this, wow! The LotR whole middle earth realm, I have always loved. I was in the generation where it was required reading in school, before the movies ever came about. I am going to try this with some cotton paper so I can draw and paint in it as well. Thank you so much!

[@senorita8863]

***** this is nice

[@shaimamaliki4235]

***** please do the death note book please the japanese anime

[@Peripatetic45]

***** This video has reminded me that it has been a dream of mine, since reading LotR in my teens, to produce a calligraphed edition, possibly also making the paper, and bound too. One day ....

[@geekyravenclaw4211]

Thanks omg I just fun I just watched the movies and I want to cover the books I am ordering!! I'm not so talented like you so I'm doing a slip on book cover of this

[@annaprado4976]

kyaa!!! Bilbo's book!

[@mikachansailor]

this is incredible, I love it so much, especially Biblo's sign on the cover!! binding your own books is so interesting, makes you feel like you're in another time, or in this case in middle Earth! I recently posted a book binding tutorial as well!!

[@Kakyoon]

i saw this in my subscription box, and i screamed! i'm *so* gonna make this!

[@godraw7985]

Sea Lemon has a video for EVERYTHING

[@dndbeginners]

Thank you for this amazing DIY. I got all the supplies I need to make it as a traveler's journal this morning and just finished my project. It will add perfectly to my next con experience as Bilbo and help me so much on my big vacation this September. Please keep it up. You're a great inspiration.

[@hellojawn]

I love the quality of the content you publish. It's so enjoyable and easy to watch and follow!

[@DawnStar.]

Do you think you could make the death note book? :)

[@roofoochoo]

That's a glorious idea YES! :D

[@klesox7964]

Yeah! Would be awesome!

[@XxHunterlovexX]

yyeeeeesss. I would love that

[@trixklyee1415]

That would be amazing! I hope Sea Lemon does it!

[@TheCraftyLabTech]

YYYYYYYAAAAAAAASS! DO EEEET!

[@mfl7916]

i am thinking of making a handmade journal for my brother for Christmas and this journal has given me such inspiration! He loves red so much and I am thinking of buying some read leather or faux leather for this project!

[@BrookeSkittleVanity]

I'm in love with this! I'm a huge fan of LOTR and The Hobbit

[@TheEllythegreat]

You're incredibly talented and your videos are very soothing.

[@LucianoHilton]

This channel only gets better. Congrats!

[@silviatonapetian6932]

This made me so happy. Keep up the amazing work, Jennifer My own suggestions on journal ideas would be: -adding a lock (diary) -the spell book from hocus pocus -a journal with a wooden cover (if that's possible)

[@Elemiriel]

This is the best LOTR tutorial on youtube! And I love your choice in music!

[@donthoms]

OK! So my "Bookmarks" are getting chock full of Jennifer of Sea Lemon!! I'm something of a J.R.R. Tolkein addict, so this Red Book of Westmarch is going to be a MOST-DO! Thanks Jennifer of Sea Lemon! Looking forward to this, when I've finished a few others you've gently hooked me on doing! :)

[@PatriciaIsSoJokes]

Great tutorial! I'd like to recommend the Gravity Falls journals next please!

[@boucles89]

Your tutorials are fantastic! I was looking for any tips on book making as I've been making the same kind for a while and wow you have all the techniques! Great channel! Well done :)

[@theaparnaverma]

As soon as I saw this in my subscription box, I screamed. No joke. The Hobbit rocks 😭😆

[@hollandmin]

I can't believe I just found your site, I love book binding! Thank you sooooo much for your videos!!!

[@rdcraig777]

This is so good! I am for sure going to try it out some day haha. Thanks for all these bookbinding tutorials, they're life savers.

[@castielvertefeuille6916]

It's perfect as a video I'm a huge hobbit fan

[@Ljubocka]

Simply amazing - like all of your works.

[@elotesconmayonesa8321]

Can you please do the gravity falls journals?

[@XxHunterlovexX]

That would be cool

[@godraw7985]

Yes! That would be amazing! ✋☝️

[@tiasawyer3123]

Yes, please!!

[@AyamiShadow]

Please do!! Im cosplaying Dipper for the upcoming summer cons and I would love to make my own journal :D

[@Axlrosa33]

OMG OMG OMG I looked everywhere for an easy DIY for this book , and i was really sad when i didnt find it in your channel .. OUAHAHA thank u thank u :D Your DIYs , especially your notebooks DIYs are the best out there . Greetings from Morocco

[@kawaiikowai08]

So beautiful! Bookbinding has always fascinated me :)

[@luciaa.1112]

Oh god I really love this!!! I always want to do this book, thank you soooo much!!!

[@mlcui5017]

That's beautiful! Great work

[@katyspencer797]

I loved this! I'll definitely make it when i have a free week....

[@CraftAmundous]

Cheaper to buy the hide from ebay (search: red leather hide). $23 for a 5.5 sq ft piece and free shipping, vs $17 for a 12 x 24 piece linked in description. Why buy less for more?? Get double the leather and make two, or more, for gifts!

[@JSA683]

Jennifer, I'd love to see what you do with all these books when you're done making them. Do you write in them as regular journals? Do you use them as sketchbooks?mdomyou give them away?

[@stuartcampbell2011]

The book was amazing ❤️❤️❤️

[@KawaiiStudioCrafts]

This looks incredible! 😱😍😍

[@marythoma4877]

Love this project. Ideas flooding into my pea brain.

[@charleyandsarah]

Hi Jennifer, great tutorial. And I'm starting to work on your summer art challenge today. :-)

[@blueplague5911]

Ah I've been looking forward to more bookbinding projects =3 Sea Lemon, maybe you can re-create the Shepherd's Journal from Atlantis?

[@user-en2ml7gz9j]

AWESOME! I love the book cover though!

[@gmt5664]

[@taratamara2861]

I'm new to you. And i really love your videos, it is really helpful. Thank you so much!!!

[@jiggypepper9671]

Amazing as usual 💗

[@usersmml3329]

That was so awesome!

[@silviasanchez8340]

Hermoso trabajo!!! yo estoy estudiando encuadernación y me gusta mucho!

[@santiago24601]

Loved the tutorial! But if the leather stripes are too close to the border, it might tear apart?

[@NYTripletMommy]

I'm not a JRR Tolken fan but I LOVE this book!!! It's so beautiful :-) Of course it helps that my favorite color is RED :-)

[@jackie70]

Can you do a video on how to make emoji pillows or something that has to do with emojis!!! Loved the video by the way!!😊

[@christianjimenez8140]

Hi there! I am new to your channel but I've watches a few of your journal type videos so far and am really impressed with how amazing your journals come out. I'd like to make a suggestion on either of two journals that I really would like to know how to make, so if its not too much to ask could you possibly do a tutorial on how to make: either the Shepherds journal from the Disney movie Atlantis, or maybe doing a tutorial on how to make any of the journals from the Disney show Gravity Falls?

[@PolandKing]

This is cool! I've been lookin for something like this for a while and this is what I was lookin for! It would be cool if u also did the journal from the first movie (the dwarf one in Fellowship of the Ring, in the Mines of Moria). Really cool!!

[@MausiDesi]

Omg! I love it! I want it!

[@kaitlin7622]

i can't wait to try it!!!!!😍😍😍

[@CollinShearman]

Please do a DIY on how to make a hanging tapestry for a wall or room!!

[@sarahappy1425]

Can you do a video on what you use all your books and stuff for?

[@tamiii]

that was wonderful! (also, if you're looking for inspiration for complex looking books, I suggest looking at final fantasy xiv arcanists weapons [which are books], they're aesthetically pleasing)

[@ellatolman9702]

do an austin and ally A book tutorial!

[@kissdigurl09]

You should try making a spell book for Halloween. Like the book from Hocus Pocus!

[@lizziesmith5817]

You could also use like a wood burning tool to make the front 😊

[@marlorie8262]

A tutorial on putting a lock on a book would be great

[@BirdyQuinn]

I love your videos! they keep getting better and are so helpful. Can you embossing part on fake/faux leather? Also it would be so cool if you did a Book of Dragons from the How to Train your Dragon movies! :D

[@susandavis7132]

you should make the book of shadows from charmed!

[@syedmobin2950]

Amazingly cool

[@leisacarnahan7647]

I love it!!

[@carolinademesquita]

[@nielian14]

what kind of paper that kind of look like a brownish gold like you used in this video? Amazing DIY though! Great Job

[@jordanmatthews3006]

I just found you yesterday and I've been watching a ton of your videos. I love you! You're really creative and really great. I have a question, what would be a good book binding technique for a beginner to try? I want to make this book but I fell like I should try some easier techniques to get the hang of bookbinding first. :)

[@SeaLemonDIY]

+Jordan Matthews Here are a couple of easy ones to start out with: DIY Saddle Stitch Binding (Thread) - bit.ly/Xy43mC DIY Perfect Binding - bit.ly/PerfectBind Here's a playlist with more binding methods - bit.ly/BindingMethods Have fun and thanks for subscribing!

[@jordanmatthews3006]

Alrighty! Thanks so much :)

[@BeckyPenn]

What brand of silver pen? It looks like it has great coverage!

[@CaseyHay]

I have a unique request, but if you're familiar with Anne Frank, I am in love with her diary. Not only was she a wonderful writer, but she had a beautiful diary and it is practically impossible to find a diary that looks the same as her's. I am wondering if you could make a tutorial that will teach me how to make my own lookalike. You are extremely talented and I hope that this will be possible somehow! Thank you so much!!!! P.S. Can you use construction paper for paper in diaries and such?

[@lilabelainine3958]

PLEASE DO A DIY BACK TO SCHOOL NOTEBOOK PLEASEE!!!!!!

[@Gandellion]

I love your grey top, where did you get it?

[@lifeofanauthor8630]

Could you do a tutorial for the Book of Mazarbul, aka the Book of Moria from The Lord of the Rings? I know it's a huge book, but that's part of the reason why I want to see it be done. It would help me be more confident with my book projects.

[@Woahlookitthemoon]

omg i love this!

[@magiKastreghetta]

could you make a leather planner with ring mechanism?

[@melpinkjournals]

adorable

[@RisingFlareCosplay]

What do you do with all these books you make

[@michellevandenoever9324]

Maybe the supernatural John Winchester journal? Please? For awesomeness!

[@VIXEN-nw4yu]

HELP!! What if you were say, trying to make book from pages that you typed up? What settings could you use to print, and how would you go from there?

[@dbalotin]

Who's awesome? You are!

[@LeonardGr]

I was thinking some edge painting some patterns on books. Do you have tutorials for this?

[@LeonardGr]

I mean fore-edge painting, so do you have some ideas for double and triple fore-edge paintings?

[@dexterdragons]

hey, how to tooling leather gold? & how to edge gilding book?

[@missp5258]

[@theaparnaverma]

[@AaliaMohumudally]

[@charlotteosborne2663]

Can you do some Christmas DIYs

[@MforceArts]

Thanks!

[@BrandyFossett]

Okay, I adore your channel and it’s inspiring me to get back into book binding, but my quilter’s heart skips a beat when you rotary cut BACKWARDS with a thin ruler. Please save yourself trouble and injury and do not rotary cut backwards. I would even suggest using a thicker ruler! I love your channel, but please save your hands from injury!!

[@feyah733]
