Unboxing the Cinch Machine | How To Make A Notebook With the Cinch Machine

[@deborahramirez3445]

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.

[@lmyers6439]

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.

[@poshglampristine4044]

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

[@cherylsperrey3445]

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.

[@Kozette007]

This is exactly what I plan to do, make annual life photo books.

[@TXBONNIE7]

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

[@LindaAndvik]

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!

[@AshleeEagles11]

My uncle gave me one of these when my aunt passed away and i had no idea what it was for…now i do and I’m super excited to try and make some cute notebooks with it ❤

[@Bethadilly]

Yay!!

[@karanleeu1817]

Excellent demonstration.

[@Adriana_scrap]

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! 😊😊

[@MichelleColeCreates]

@adriana_scrap What is the ruler called?

[@Craftybowladychannel]

What's that ruler called?

[@Adriana_scrap]

I'm from Spain, and I bought mine in a store here. They call it "binding template." I'll give you the link of the one I have kzbin.info/www/bejne/anmxko15lpuNpLcsi=8AqbcetAXnS75EHm

[@freestyl2oo7]

do you by chance know if I can cinch 1.5" 2:1 Pitch Twin Loop Wire? I'm not sure if it will fit but I don't see they sell that size.

[@gloriajohnson8297]

What is the ruler called?

[@melissagraham6180]

Late to the party lol, and not sure if someone already mentioned, but I used this to bind all of my daughters baby shower cards to create a keepsake. I made a front and back cover and added the actual cards between.

[@sarahtapia7165]

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. 😂

[@RamoArt]

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".

[@debraparker7626]

Thank you so much for this video. I have had my cinch for about 4 years now and have been too afraid to use it. After watching your video, I'm now excited to use it. I love all your videos, especially with your calming voice and patience. It relaxes me and helps me to enjoy crafting.

[@Bethadilly]

You are so welcome!

[@Bluevelvelt]

👍🙏🏽😚😚💙💙💙 totally agree 👍

[@deanabossio3091]

Well done! I just ordered this little gadget and am so excited to get it. Thank you for the demo! I feel ready to use it.

[@amandaschmidt2361]

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

[@Bethadilly]

Yes! I totally bought some chipboard for this project and then didn't bring it out! I think it's great!

[@kristinawalby8652]

@@Bethadilly or @amandaschmidt2361 any kind of chipboard and would you use mod podge with the pattern paper? I'm so curious about this technique.

[@smuxlow1954]

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!

[@kattrro]

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!

[@Bethadilly]

Good idea! I made sure my opening was pressed toward the back and then I felt it pressed circular!

[@irenedestriza]

😅w

[@sarahseid5674]

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

[@badlands9100]

awesome video! your a greater teacher!

[@jaimejmfugate]

My first thought was binding children's artwork!

[@RamoArt]

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

[@angelashock9837]

A December daily planner! Great as pre-Christmas gifts!

[@cindywhite9754]

I bought this machine because I really wanted to buy some things, and plus my grandchildren. Also want to do that as well. I seen a video that they had on Amazon and I was like oh that looks easy. But when I got it home, it was a different story. You have the best video out there. And you explain it so well I am now making them with no problem at all. Thank you so much for your great video. It was extremely helpful.! Also love that you painted your fingernails the same color as the pink. Great touch.!

[@Bethadilly]

I find it to be a little intimidating of a machine, so I am glad this video helped you!

[@LisaVornhagen]

That's pretty neat and looks pretty easy to use. That would be a lot of fun to do all kinds of things with. I like taking pictures of projects that I have made. I could make my own book of them instead of paying to have one made.

[@jeanmayo4076]

Thank you for the great directions, I just got my machine and really appreciate the walk-through.

[@cynthiaborah2348]

Great tool! I would like to have one. I would make a pocket journal for my niece for starters. Thanks!😊

[@connielanecorbin579]

Love the details in explaining how to use the inch.

[@lorij3451]

I make mini notebooks but use the mini cinch. I have both cinches. I cover chipboard for my covers.

[@creatingeyecandy]

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.

[@Bethadilly]

That's a great idea!

[@accidentallycreative5025]

I’ve had this machine for a few years now, and always get in a pickle with it. I don’t think I will anymore so thank you for the detailed instructions

[@Bethadilly]

Glad I could help!

[@alyssarosenbloom7284]

Yes Yes Yes ….. gonna definitely order one of these. I plan to make my own appointment books and journals.Thanks for sharing..!!

[@sarahtapia7165]

I have the mini cinch, but I have found it to be a great way to bind my kimberbelle instructions into their own little books and also for all to socialites blocks if you ever get more into quilting and want to get free designs that come out as a sew along for several weeks or other QAL’s or embroidery instructions.

[@Bethadilly]

Oh I am so glad because for a minute, I was so confused by it! Glad this helped you!

[@yesvelas4]

This is just what I needed to see. I was debating whether to purchase the Cinch, but it looked very difficult to use. Thank you for your video because it's not hard at all, I'm getting one for sure.

[@Bethadilly]

Honestly, it look so intimidating...but if you just slow down and take your time, you totally got this!

[@maritzasolerroman-garcia5061]

I love how easy yo make the projects. I would love to see what else you make with the cinch. I haven't used mine but today I'm gonna try to make a notebook, but while watching you I thought about making sketch notebook for my grandkids. The prices have gone wild with just blank pages..so you just gave me a great idea!!

What a neat little machine

[@dawnpettenato6739]

You always make such sweet and pretty things! Thank you for sharing your beautiful ideas! I used my cinch to make a home binder. 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. 😊

[@kjmav10135]

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.

[@starbrown1219]

This was so interesting. I love journals and notebooks. It would be fun to make my own, for sure. Plus the machine is pink.

[@samanthabyrd1402]

I love my cinch. It’s amazing love your tutorials 🥰🌸 you can use digital papers print them off with a computer and laminate them to make for journal covers or book covers or just design your own covers in canva 😊
