LEARN TO MAKE 3 JOURNAL MAKING TOOLS USING RECYCLED MATERIALS

[@whtwasithinking]

An old game board makes an excellent cradle.

[@vanessamurphy7292]

Yes, definitely make more of these Tutorials, I have recently retired and have to start watching every penny. So I would really really appreciate any help that allows me to keep "Makkng". 🙏🏻

[@apple369]

Thank you, Ali! This was very helpful. A DIY book press is something else I'm interested in.

[@lindamarie07461]

Thank you! Yes, more DIY tools! I mean, we are crafters who make things out of things others throw away yet pay so much $$ for the tools we buy so we can DIY! Or is it just me? 😂

[@ksmith5369]

This was great! I have used the back of paper pads to make covers for handmade journals, but thanks to you I now know how to make a book cradle out of it. Thank you! I would love to see more of your DIY bookbinding tools.

[@tinag8467]

Love the DIY tools, more please! Great job - useful, practical, money saving and easy to do.

[@Cathyl2272]

Thanks for this . I have a homemade piercing cradle out of floral foam but this looks much nicer ! Love diy vids . It's hard getting all the supplies some times .

[@VintagePageDesigns]

I'd love to see your floral foam cradle - it sounds neat!

[@smaibes]

Thank you! I sort of new to journaling and I am slowly trying to build my tool collection. I've never seen a punching cradle and I can't wait to make one. It will make punching the holes so much easier. I'm excited to see what other ideas you have to share. :)

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Welcome to the world of handmade books :)

[@purplecrafts21]

Yes, please add some DIY tool tutorials. These were excellent. I am going to try the punching cradle.

[@leahwolfe8999]

OK...OK...I will go buy a bottle of Prosecco for the sake of crafting and recycling! 😂

[@VintagePageDesigns]

we have to make sacrifices - right?

[@patriciastarr3586]

[@KatharineFletcher]

Fantastic, Ali! And yes please for more DIY tools. This was just so incredibly helpful. I'm going to make myself a punching cradle. Wish me luck!

[@suecox2308]

That was so helpful--the punching cradle is a new tool to me and I look forward to learning a lot more from you.

[@harveysbelieve]

Thank you! This is a great way to get started or test out the process, as well as using what we have on hand. I'd like to know if there are other tools we can make. 😊

[@vivianesans6398]

Great video Ali! I love your way to speak and teach! Oh! and of course I loved drinking the Champagne too… ☺️🍾😉🥂🤩

Brilliant, thank you! Would love some more DIY tool ideas, I’m starting out and just love your tutorials.

[@CatherinePolman]

[@kimpay2148]

Fabulous tutorial! Can't wait to make my own book cradle & use it to help me use up my huge stash of papers. Yes, please for more DIY tools. Thanks!

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Glad you liked it!

[@elizapi314]

how have I never heard of a punching cradle before today?! That sounds so useful.

[@KristysCraftyCottage]

This was fantastic! And I’d love to see more tutorials on diy tools. Thank you 🩷

[@donitanaylor750]

Love these! Thank you! Yes, more please!

[@sharongreenaway6942]

Hi thank you for this, I made the cradle yesterday and it has come up well. I look forward to using it.

[@mudotter]

Thank you for the bone cradle plan. I have substituted the awl and bone folder easily enough, but punching the signatures has been patience and luck, with the holes occasionally going to one side by the time the awl goes through.

[@sweetpeastationnz6598]

Hi from New Zealand!. I just found your channel tonight and loved this DIY tools tutorial. I would very much like to learn how to make more DIY ideas. Thank you so much, cheers Sandra 😊

[@andrewfrankovic6821]

I don't know how iT would work with a cradle, but I use an electric drill with a small drill bit to make my holes. No, iT isn't exactly DIY tool. Just sayin'. I might make a cradle. I even have the same brand of cardboard used here sitting in my lab waiting to be repurposed. I did some research on making a cradle online and they are crazy complicated.

[@murieltillman9554]

Thank you for posting the d.i.y.! I look to build these asap! I'm just beginning in the handmade book journey and look forward to following along more of your tutorials. Thanks again!

[@denisenoble4010]

Thankyou. The hole maker cradle is a game changer, need to make 1 ASAP. Thanks for to 'how to'. Now I know where to start 😊

[@Mary-gh6pm]

This was great! I saw another cradle DIY usinf paint stir sticks. The idea of different sized awls is wonderful. More please and thank you

[@rondabergeron4414]

This great, I have struggles for so long on punching my signatures. I will make this soon. Thank you so much.

[@eleanormcgregor2103]

A very good tutorial and useful, tools are so expensive especially when your buying different ones for different crafts. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤

[@diannabenson4046]

[@bonniemiller3587]

Thank you! Wonderful solutions…!

[@ladyflimflam]

I think a spoon or a butter knife is a better folder than a plastic card.

[@carolinelawrie7142]

Excellent ideas... I might try the cradle ❤😊

[@LetitRainNow450]

[@DonnaBerryArts]

What is ‘ book cloth’?

[@launiemcdevitt1964]

I found that 3 ring binders have super heavy cardboard inside the vinyl covers. Most businesses throw the out. You can find them in thrift stores and creative reuse centers. Cheap. Sometimes free. Just cut the covers off the binder and strip off the vinyl.

[@VintagePageDesigns]

Great tip!!!!

[@donnamyers3791]

Thank You so much! ♥

[@DeborahMoore-dn9fs]

Love it!

Yes, please, more DIY tutorials, this one was great, thank you for sharing 😊

[@tncolmd1615]

thank you for a very helpful video. a benefit of making tools, i find, is that I feel like a more competent crafter/artist - gives me more confidence in my ability to create. more of the same will be appreciated.

[@3534538]

Such great ideas. I have an awl and a bone folder but I'll make me a cradle, thank you for the tutorial. There is a "cover paper measuring and folding tool" avaiable online, perhaps you already have a tutorial for that too? 🥰
