OMG 2nd!! I was waiting for this all morning!!!!! Thank u so much!!! I'm 14 yrs old living in India my love for junk journals started with ur 10 ideas for junk journaling video n then from the on I fell in luv with ur videos, I started with a small collection of junk journaling supplies found in my house n I am passionate so increase tht stash thank u so much LOVE FROM INDIA!!!!😊😊❤❤

[@kellyjean4981]

I love to hear this ❤. Keep it up. Would love to see some of your journals

[@sandytaylor-tran9056]

My husband and I are from Canada and just got home from our first trip to India! We loved it! Enjoy your journey with Junk Journaling and please show us some of your creations!

[@T_ea_M_nichedout]

Hii, you might think this is odd but ...will you join me on a creativity playlist, like showcasing videos of journaling, just to say, you'll also need to post videos of journaling, before you say yes or no, you can view my channel if you're unsure about the videos to get a better idea of what I mean... please just consider...this is literally the first time I had a feeling and was like yes, I'd want to collabrate😅

[@T_ea_M_nichedout]

And also no I'm not rich so this will be just for fun and like I said show casing so others can be inspired like you are with mam on this channel

[@pinkcadilack]

​@@T_ea_M_nichedout what is your website please

[@tieskeellis8531]

Sooooo clear, no mistakes possible! The best teacher I ever had!

[@BanjoWantsATreat]

I’m sure this tutorial wasn’t as much fun for you, and something you did out of love for your followers. That said, I’ve tried coptic stitch tutorials before but was never quite clear on what to do on the ‘corner’ stitches where you switch from left to right. I ended up rewatching multiple times and still half-guessing what I had to do. But this…this is so clear. I could follow along and do it easily. It finally makes sense! Thank you for your struggle!

[@heikesiegl2640]

Out of Love? This is a crafting channel. Its her job to show interesting Projects. But yeah i agree she does everything very clear and precise

[@BanjoWantsATreat]

@@heikesiegl2640You can be a professional crafter and still appreciate your subscribers. She can publish whatever she wants, but this video was obviously done per the request of the subscribers. I personally very much appreciate that.

[@kellyjean4981]

@@heikesiegl2640 yes, out of love. As in it’s her channel, and I’m sure Natasa enjoys doing videos where the topic involves more of a creative free flowing vibe that gets her creative juices flowing. I’m not sure if you watched until the end, but Natasa herself mentioned that it wasn’t one of her favourite videos to make. ❤

[@gardengate1339]

Totally agree!

[@claireskey5439]

Natasha is clear and precise. Also lots of people requested this tutorial, and yes, she admits when something isn't her favourite 🤭✌🇭🇲💖

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

Thanks! Love being able to support your work. I have a suggestion, but I know it's not my business. Buy me a coffee might be a better option to support your channel. With KZbin, you only receive 70% of my donation.. with buy me a coffee you get 95%, and the person donating doesn't have to create an account, unlike kofi. Sorry, if that was out of line. I just like the creator to get as much as possible. Thank you so much for all your inspiration ❤️

[@lisamessinger2607]

Thanks, Christy; I did not know that information. It is good to know how to maximize our support for the artist vs. the big company. 😉👍

[@CraftedByChristyShop]

@@lisamessinger2607 I'm glad it helped. I was worried it would come off the wrong way. I love supporting artist, and I just like to know they are getting the most. Thank you for your nice comment.

[@TreasureBooks]

Great suggestion! Thank you so very much for your donation and your suggestion. I totally agree with you! Thank you

[@londongael414]

You give the BEST tutorials! I now feel confident I can have a go at the Coptic stitch, which I never have before. I particularly appreciated how you kept the same vocabulary throughout - so important for clarity and confidence-building, and how well done the written instructions were. The trouble you go to is what makes you the best. At the end, you have some simple, beautiful books, which really need no further embellishment. Favourite is the gold one, but they all look gorgeous. (What a great husband, to make you "sexy coffee"! 😉)

[@tarahines9931]

All of your careful details (printing the instructions, tamping down the inside of the covers, how to tighten, etc.) to make something beautiful, WITH environmental impact, are greatly appreciated!! And, of course, hi Banjo!

I’ve tried to follow other tutorials on this binding and they just weren’t clear so I was not successful. Thank you so much for creating a clear and concise video along with written instructions.

I've had the curved needles to do projects to make tying flys easy. Now I have a better use for them other than gathering dust as they sit unused! Bravo 🎉

[@ludmillasomp4723]

Excellent tutorial Natasha very clear and yes it was worth it. The stitching process was excellent and you made it look quite easy to do. You brought up a very good point on using cereal boxes for the cover as a practice process. Practice does make perfect no matter what the project is. I just have to mention the cover with the amazing hot glue texture is just awesome. Love it ❤❤your work is just magnificent. Thank you for sharing and be well.👍💕🤗👏🏻🇨🇦

[@luannianke8110]

I was right! Your tutorial was EXCELLENT! I am so sorry for your frustrations. If it weren't for the ads it would have been totally seamless. Thank you so much for doing this whole thing including the hot glue process. I love the gold app to the cover, binding, and pages. MO, USA

[@kellyjean4981]

Oh man, we pay about 20$ a month to skip the ads. I know it is an added expense but we are a family of 5 and we can all watch KZbin without ads for that price, on our devices and the tv. It work for our family, because we mostly watch KZbin as opposed to Netflix or cable or any of the other subscriptions. It’s only when I see comments about ads, that I realize KZbin videos have them. I don’t think I could watch the videos if I had to see commercials 😢. But then again, I don’t watch regular tv either due to commercials lol.

This was a fantastic video, I can't wait to give this binding a try! :D

Dear Natasha, I just wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you for your amazing tutorials. I’ve watched several of your videos, and I’m always impressed by how clear and professional your guidance is. Your advice has really helped me understand the art of bookbinding on a deeper level, and I always look forward to your next video! I recently purchased your book, *Treasure Bookmaking*, and it’s been an invaluable resource for ideas and tips. My mother was a bookbinder and taught me the basics, but your tutorials have truly expanded my craft to new dimensions. I live in Ireland, and my collection of journals tends to have a Celtic theme, but I also love making and gifting junk journals with other themes to friends and clients of my own craft business. Your teaching has been such a great inspiration in this journey, and I’m very grateful for all that you share. Best wishes to you and yours, Christina (Ballygarvan Crafts, Cork)

I thought I’d put this on in the background while making my second book. I was amazed I didn’t actually need the tutorial because my brain remembered how to do it. But hopefully if I let it and the commercials run it will help your channel. I very much appreciate the work you put into this video.

[@Alicia1948]

This is the best Coptic stitch book binding tutorial. It is so detailed. Also, when you add string, you tie a knot and go on to the next hole. Then, you don’t have a couple of knots. A stitch is missing, but it looks neater. Maybe there’s another way to add thread. Thank you so much for such a great tutorial!

[@catmakesdo]

Thank you for showing us this tutorial !! Iam going to give a try eventually, I don’t follow written instructions very well so have saved the video for when I need it.
