ADORABLE!!!!! I can't wait to use this method !! You do such dainty, detailed work! I Live very miniature art!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!! Wonderful close up!! Better than most I've seen do that stitch! 👍📚 🤗💗💐🙋🏻♀️ - Mindi in Iowa
Excellent video! This is not only a cute and practical use for scrap watercolor paper, but an easy introduction to book binding. Thanks for the close-ups on the stitches.
Very well explained. I have seen plenty of videos about this stitching but none of them explained it so perfectly and easily. Thank you for such videos. 💚
Very well explained and so easy to follow. Thanks for sharing. Ignore those who can't help but find something to complain about. It's in their nature.
I have learned how to bind books! In the printing school, my profession was called Artistic finishing bookbinder :) It was interesting to observe the techniques of making a miniature book. The only criticism is that the edges of the book covers are not so big. Thanks for the video :)
Everyone - I can't wait to make this
Me - wondering how to draw in such a mini sketchbook
how to watercolor paint, but I'm sure you can make it any size you want
Lots of wonderful tutorials here on utube. Start simple and practice before using the book
My daughter does BEAUTIFUL pictures of flowers in mini books
Very simple, inexpensive, and straightforward!! Thank you for sharing your technique! I’m inspired to make my own version of a mini journal now.
How kind of you to share your process with so much detail. Thank you. These are absolutely beautiful. Blessings to you. XO B.
Thanks for the quality tutorial. And great drawings. :) "Imperfection is a form of freedom" was an unexpected and a relatable quote.
Really lovely, though I will say that I'd refrain from using school glue to attach your final papers, because it is not waterproof and if you get that paper wet with watercolor you may end up releasing the adhesive.
I'd use regular PVA or yes paste
This is the cutest watercolor sketchbook I have ever seen 😍😍😍😍
*running to make my own!!* THANKS 🎉🙏🏼
Beautiful projects…….and you work on a fur rug😳……….👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰
very nice....easy to make, thanks for sharing
Such a great idea for using up scraps of watercolour paper. Thank you for sharing. Will give this a try 💕📖
Yes yes yes I could see how to sew 🪡🧵 😆 bind the book 📖 journal 📓 and I loved it 🥰 thank you so much for sharing a clear and precise tutorial!!!! 🌹❤️💯
Ok, wow. This is just a wonderful little book. Also, I think this is one of the best bookbinding videos I've ever watched. I actually understand the Kettl Stich finally! Cannot wait to make a few of these for myself in different sizes!
This is the easiest and most elaborative hand nade journal making tutorial on CZcams. Thank you so much for this, I'll make this for my best friend. It's her birthday this month and she loves tiny art diaries.
This is the perfect size for a mini journal imo. The ones smaller than this are too tiny for me but this size is perfect! Tfs ♡
What a great tutorial!! Thank you for sharing!!
Very informative video and I’ll definitely make this journal! Ditch the furry rug you don’t need it. Thanks for sharing your tips!! 🥰
😣
So talentend and beautiful work. I learned a lot from you.Thank you for sharing
Super cute! 😍
Super technique, merci.❤ Je vais pouvoir faire ce que je ne trouve pas dans le commerce. Un carnet d'aquarelle avec mes papiers chouchous et... à la taille que je veux. Génial merci ❤
Thank you so much for your tutorial! I made mine a little different and put fabric on the cover. Fun to make and is a great little scrapbook made in the size i chose for my travel watercolour kit! Thanks so much!
I just learned how to do the Kettle Stitch! I love making books, and this video has taught me another cool way to make one! Thanks so much, Meeya! Stay safe! ~Janet in Canada
Excellent job 🎉 💝 from Canada 🇨🇦
Sobrang detalyado ng tutorial. Mabusisi ang pagkakagawa, nakakabilib! Nice video! :)

I can't wait to make this!
Thankyou for sharing this.
the fact you did all that on a soft surface makes u god like
Thank you so much for sharing this detailed video.. i am going to try it soon...
Thank you so much for showing us this. Especially sewing in the spine. Now I understand clearly how to do it. What a blessing. Love the journal and the music too.
Excellent.

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! I appreciate the time you took to share the information.
Great and perfect 😊thanks lots for your creative mind!!

Beautiful... Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you so much for your very clear and easy to follow tutorial. Excellent and I will be making one soon🥰
Beautiful, clear, simple instructions thank you so much. Fur mat pretty but distracting as you keep looking at it and asking Why 😂
Just discovered your instagram last week and saw this. Glad to find the full version here on youtube 😻💖 its pretty!!!
Really cute idea. I think I’ll use fabric for the cover though. It can take more abuse, and less likely to tear or show wrinkles.
Thank you for sharing your techniques!
love this! i'm thru the glue binding so far, just need to do the cover now! so special to make a 'book'!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ty ty ty!
👌 🆗️
Same😂
So perfect...love your art, congratulations from Guatemala 🌺🌺🌺🌺
Exactly what I needed since my book is already bound!
This really is the best tutorial I have seen. I have been putting videos together, using some of this and that. I really like the stitch on the binding. Thank you. I love the finish on the inside, my ocd would have had a heyday!
I love this! I think I will make one with card stock for favorite verses. Thanks for sharing!
Merci beaucoup pour ce tuto tres clair ! C'est magnifique, bravo !😮
what a cuty~!.. love it
Oh I cannot wait to make one like this ! They are adorable 😍
Love these! This was exactly the simple binding process I was looking for. Thanks! 🤩
Rug is genius. Sets you apart. Book awesome too😄
Beautiful work! Thank you so much for posting this!
I absolutely love this. ❤ I’m definitely going to try this in the near future.
It's adorable 😍
You need more likes YOU ARE SOOOOOOO TALENTED
Mostly a very informative and enjoyable tutorial that I can’t wait to do for my own project. I did find the fur covering on your workspace a bit disconcerting and distracting as the video progressed. It made no sense, like watching somebody who is making a beautiful dessert on a dirt floor - odd, inappropriate work surface, and confusing. In the end I’m glad you didn’t smear glue on the fur, inadvertently see it to the binding, or had any other mishap with it. Thank you for the otherwise excellent tutorial!
Fun tutorial but why fur lol!?! Very strange work space! 😅
I agree. The fur is distracting. I had to completely ignore it because I wanted it see the process.
Fabulous tutorial for a great tiny, chunky book. Thank you.
Simple stitch. So cute and durable. Thank you for demo.
Really well explained with utmost perfection
OmG this is extremely doable and beautiful. I Love this😍
I love this kind of mini !
I will do same 😊.

So cute thanks for sharing
Thank you po for sharing. Your videos are very interesting. Yan po bonding moment namin ng mga kids ko at marami kaming natutunan. Sana makapasyal din po kayo sa kusina namin at maka inspire too. Thank you po.
So adorable! I have to make one💖
Чудова робота. Дякую.
Thank you! I thought that you did an excellent job of showing the stitching on the spine! Very clear! The only question I have is if you don’t lay the cover and first or last page out flat when you glue on the final inside cover papers will you be able to fully open the book? Once, I didn’t open them fully and it seems like I had trouble opening. You can also glue the cover paper only to the front/back cover and not to the inside pages at all and that works well. I really love little books! They are so cute! Thank you for sharing such a great way to sew the pages together!!😊😊
Me encantó tu video genial y facil 👍👍💝💝
Спасибо за урок!
Galing talaga! :)
Beautiful🤩
Wow beautiful
honestly... how do you make it so perfect?
Ang cuteeeeee
Thank you :)
Love it!!! Thx :-)
