I'm pleased to share the latest DIY tutorial featuring Maeve Rogers of Color Theory. I love using this method for journals because it fairly simple to do and it has a really nice clean appearance. The supplies are minimal so It can be a really affordable project for those of us trying to save money.
Special thanks to Natalia Daniels for helping out with this one.
Hey!great instructions!I made one of these the other day and put chipboard on the front and back cover. the only thing is that the chipboard has a funny way of bending on the front when you open it. Any tips?
It's good instructions, however, I think it's quite difficult to see what you're actually doing when you speed up the important bits. I find I learn better when i watch exactly what someone is doing then I can copy it more easily. Thankyou.
To make the book easier to open, take a ruler and hold it firmly against the book where you want the crease. score the cover along the ruler using the edge of the bone folder.
