Are you struggling with making a good, sturdy journal cover and binding your pages into it? Tune in and let's make a journal together!
Hi Guys!
Welcome to the second part of my tutorial in which I am showing you how to make a hard cover book that can be used as a journal or an ephemera holder!
In the first part of this mini series, we made our fabric hard cover. I showed you how to make it durable and sturdy and shared some of my favorite tips and supplies. Here's the link if you have not seen this video yet!

Today we are going to do a few things - some finishing touches on our cover (book corners and a metal book plate), gluing in end pages, adding pockets to our papers (for those of you who are making an ephemera holder, like I am) and finally we will bind our signatures using a three hole pamphlet stitch.
We will go through all the steps together and at the end of this video you should have your journals or ephemera holders ready to use! :)
As I did under the previous video, I am listing all the measurements and supplies for you to reference, as well some time stamps in case you want to jump to a particular section of the tutorial.
Hopy you will enjoy and find it useful! Let me know what you think :)
Hugs,
Martyna
