I know that this binding method was popularized by the Japanese in the west, but this binding method is Chinese in origin. Ppl are upset by the title. But as Chinese, we r happy to share our culture, and share was apart of our history anyway. there is definitely no need to fight over a binding method. Be respectful~ luving the world!
Thank you for the book binding, and you specifically for being a great human :)
As a Graphic Design student and fan of book binding, i really love this channel!
Thanks :D

This tutorial was perfect for replacing some missing covers on an old textbook. I reused some old notebook covers and I tied it with hemp thread. It turnes out better and sturdier than I expected! Thank you for the tutorial!
So I'm taking a historic photographic processes class at SAIC and it was brought to my attention that even though it was popularized by the Japanese in the west this binding method is Chinese in origin still a great way to make photo books it looks great!!!
I have been seeing this style of book in ALL the historical dramas I have been watching lately and wondered how to do it! Thank you for your video - keen to have a go and you made it look so easy!
Your channel has been a lifesaver for me! I'm in my first term of a Design for Publishing degree, and I've already made several books for various Graphics projects thanks to your easy-to-follow videos! Thank you so, so much for all of your hard work! :) I'm officially addicted to binding books!
Thanks! Welcome to the addictive world of bookbinding ;)
Very clear instruction without any of the irrelevant "waffle" which characterises many of these "How-to" videos. Thank you.
Thanks :D
I 100% agree with that! Especially the ones where all you see is their hands which they wave constantly and do not actually show you anything you can use! Very Frustrating!
Not shown in this video: making binding holes way too small and swearing profusely in the middle of a coffee shop.
fuck this is me i just let out an unnatural screech at three am in the morning and prompty scared my roommate
Thanks for the warning on making holes too small
@@chuckbus I'm not gonna make any holes.
I bought a nice black hardback spiral notepad (A) and multiple cheap softback spiral notepads (B).
1. First gonna remove the spiral and used pages from A. Leaving just two hardboards with spiral holes predrilled.
2. I'm not gonna insert B between A hard boards, align the holes.
3. using this Japanese thread binding technique create a new book C by binding holes in both A and B.
I could remove spiral from B but I prefer the new book to retain a spiral back for easy page turning.
I won't bind the book as heavily through 4 holes...I will just use two holes (one at each corner) so is easy to undo and replace notepad with new notepad.
Depending on needs and supplied notepads I should be able to have a notepad back that is able to fold back on itself 360deg just !Iike original hardback A.
Alt: use key ring loops or bag ties thru holes for creating spiral back of C.
Great video by the way...well done, good execution short clear precise and useful !!
r you americam
okay so im just going to punch the awl through until all holes are fully dilated, thanks
I learned to do this on vacation in Korea but forgot how to do the thread part, saw your video and tried it out. SUCCESS!!
I literally just did this binding for a portfolio I'm making and it was so simply to do! I didn't have an awl or screw punch, so I used a push pin to score my holes then used the needle and hammered it through to make the holes big enough. Worked like a charm! Thank you so much for making this tutorial. It was a real life saver.
We're using your video in a university class! Just thought you should know! Great job~
This seems like the most simplistic and most beautiful book binding ever! I'll use this to bind my next zine, thank you so much!
I’m going to bind a book this way for a graphic design class, hopefully it goes well. Thank you so much for all of your helpful videos!
This is a great, comprehensible tutorial. Nothing unnecessary, plain and simple what I came for. Thank you very much!
I don't have an awl, so I used a single hole punch instead. Works great for this type of binding. Thanks a million for the wonderful tutorial!
That's a good way to bind single sheets. I may use it on a couple of my journals.
This is so much cuter than using binder clips! I was able to bind a document I had into a cute book for longer-term use with tools I had laying around the house. Fabulous tutorial and thank you for posting!
I'm about to get emotional, so bear with.
I have followed Jennifer for years now, and completed many of her projects. My first was a simple notebook, my second a book press, the third a coptic bound book which I covered, and now this.
I did stab binding for a book of my work. This is a poetry pamphlet that I'm handing in as my final ever assessment. After I hand it in to my lecturer in two hours, I will have officially finished university.
Thank you, Jennifer, for teaching me this method, and with all your other videos. Now I'm going to shower and get ready to go in for the last time...
I'm taking a class at FIT in NYC. I find your instructions so clear. I review the forthcoming project the week before!
Thanks, Joanna
Thanks! You can if it makes opening the book easier. I find it easier to open with longer (horizontal) pages.
I am watching this video in 2021 oh ! my GOD😱😇
@@btsot7430 lol 2023 now
I watch a lot of period K-dramas and always wondered how they used to bind their books. Thanks, and especially thank you as I'm just starting to do junk journaling, and wanted to try a different binding then the usual kind.
I am totally using this bookbinding method for my graphic design sophomore review! It's so simple, yet neat and trendy!
Literally got a youtube account to tell you how wonderful this is. Straightforward and easy to follow. Thank you!
If you are using 4 holes then that's actually a Chinese binding. The traditional Chinese binding is 4, 8 or 11 holes. Japanese binding is 7 holes.
sou desu
+alec宇我看封面进来的，虽然跟古籍装订稍微有点不同，但总体上几乎没差别啊。可惜英语不好，只能在评论区找Chinese……于是找到你了，哈哈
Not everything
@@horatio1547 not everything, just -most- things
@@Crosshill still not everything lol
i was searching for this technique after seeing books sewed like this in an historical korean drama, thanks for sharing, u are a real professional, it's so easy to understand))))
Just this with a 3 hole punched book and twine as proof of concept with surprisingly good results. Book lays open etc. thanks for the video!
11.5 years! that can't be right!!
I thought it said 11 months!!!
cuz the quality is in that level...
Nice video 😎😎👌👌
No kidding on using waxed thread! I got a knot in the middle of this and it was a nightmare undoing it.
I love the way that you folded the paper to mark out the punch spots on your template :) Very clever!
Now I understand the search for the awl. :D
Thank you SO much for this! Every year, I make my husband a little Christmas book with cartoons of memories from the past year. And every year, I use your video to bind it. Five years running! :D
Now it's six years running! Haha! :D
Now seven! :D
Now eight!!!!
I tried this today for a workshop, was quite fun and easy.
Very clear and succinct tutorial, thank you. This so-called Japanese technique provides a refined touch to documents which have to be bound, making for a beautiful presentation.
just finished my first one. good tutorial - i could sew without constantly stopping the video!
This was really interesting - I always wondered how they got the bindings looking the same in old-style, traditional Japanese book-making. And I like that the binding is nice and strong, in contrast with other types. Thank you!
This video is nearly five minutes and yet very helpful. Another tip though, if you want it to be super authentic start at the back of the book, like a manga for example.
thanks for the tutorial, my big bro asked if i could print out his bachelors thesis and i knew i could count on you to have a video on it, this is the only kind of bookbinding i could think of for a thin A4 format thesis
I see it like this is just GREAT tutorial, maybe the best for bookbindind. It's easy and effective. For holes you can use lot of things and lot of threads. It fit and hold. Really really useful and you can do it by yourself. This is that, what you want, if you're finding making own book. The best!!
Okay. Now I really want the Japanese punch tool. This is fabulous. Have to try this. Thanks.
What a nice simple way to show Japanese binding. Thanks!
Hi there Sea:
Thank you a lot for your tutorials in general. Great explanations and perfect timing. In this particular case I did a photo album for my mum, printed in A4 and binded using the japanese technique you explain here. It looks pretty awesome.
Thanks again :)
Regards,
Tom
I have a 600 page book with 19 holes. I am going to try your method. Thanks so much.
How did it work out? (:
so easy to follow and understand. didnt have a needle big enough to use so i just used my waxed cord as is and poked though a hole i made larger so its easier to go though without the need of a needle. thanks!
OMG I've been obsessing over Chinese/Japanese book binding and I finally found this video. Thank you so much for the clear and helpful tutorial :D
Love your tutorial! I never did a Japanese Bookbinding, but now I'm very excited to do it!
Your voice is so calm, make it easier to lear!
Hi! Check out the description, under "Tools" there is a link next to the "Screw punch". You can find out more about the hole puncher in that video and its description.
this is so nice and clear, I'm definitely using this to a-game a functional cosplay piece!
You are the best in description!! Thank you!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I just did this type of binding on a sketchbook. It turned out awesome. i glued a hard board to the back cover and i can draw on my knees now :D now i'm drying some perfect biding no make some more books. awesome tutorial, do more! :D
very clear and easy to follow directions. thank you.
Easy to follow, well narrated. Good.
it´s interesting how easy this type of binding is, and how easy u can open it up and replace a side just do do it again, i like it.
Thanks for the vid!
Excellent for beginners! Your clear, simple instructions with great visuals helped immensely. Thank you,
Very clear and helpful, thanks so much. Love the black cover with turquoise pages AND thread, handsome.
Thanks so much *****! I made a blank book for my daughter to design/color, although I think I need a less waxy thread, and a needle with a bigger eye.
Thanks! I'm binding three books for my post-grad research in this way, and this tutorial made it alot easier than reading the steps in my bookmaking book :)
I made a diary using this technique. thanks so much.
Wow that was the most simple bookbinding I've ever doneim always gonna to this now
you've CLEARLY not tried the pamphlet stitch ! :D
Terrific tutorial, clear and concise instructions, ....both verbal and visual. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!!! Even after 7 years! You helped me a lot!!!
OMG I did it!!!!
Sea Lemon you literally have no idea how much you have helped me....it turned out so great I will be pasting some dried flowers on the cover to make it look a little aesthetic...the tutorial was very good...TYSM ❤️
I am a graphic designer a lot over a decade. Recently I fall in love with book making. I love your channel, I am a rookie and I get lots of ideas and solutions to my every day how do I do that.
A big thank you for your help.
I'll appreciate if you upload a from Α-Ω how to bind with hard covers spline (like encyclopedia).
Cheers from Greece.

Thanks a lot for your tutorial! My Arabic writing- practice book came out amazing. Your tutorial was a lot helpful!
Thank you! Finally, a way to bind loose sheets without having to fold them all in half. Giving it a go for a watercolor sketchbook …
Simple yet beautiful binding. Thank you very much for this tutorial!
Excellent tutorial and it seems so easy so I´ll give it a try with two signatures a friend asked to make a real small journal and gave me the material but could not stitch them as I do my junk journals. Thank you sooo much+💜💜💜
I really like your videos. They are very informative and I also like to clear it is to understand what you are saying. I am going to do this for a school project.
you can also put tape on the book spine
it will make it even more sturdy
This was really easy to do. Used it in my photography GCSE exam.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I used this to bind my book for Typographic Design class! It's adorable looking :D I love it! I love the song in this too!
Thank you for this tutorial ! It's very well explaining ! Thanks to you, i could do this binding for my project !
Nice! Thanks for checking it out!
What a simple and to the point tutorial. Thank you
Amazing tutorial! Loved the way you explained it, makes it a lot easier than other tutorials I watched.
Thank you so much for this video...i don't know how to express my happiness when i finish it...i really love this tutorial really help me...luking for other tutorial onwards.....i have made one in red and green...just addicted in making it....and agian thank you
Gonna use this for my current illustration assignment :) printing on single sheets will save me a lot of money too since I want to make the book a horizontal A4 XD
Thank you sooo much for your great video! Got this for my project on university and it's sooo beautiful and works perfectly! I'm so happy!
we've have been using this video for our school work. thanks for he helpful video.
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing this. I always end up printing packets of reference material for research and its nice to be able to easily bind them into packets, so I dont have a bagillion loose papers floating around and not knowing where any of them go, hah. and I dont need a bunch of fancy setups and tool to pull this of either. I just used a regular hand drill to make the holes. its not as pretty as yours, but it does the job, and thats good enough for me. Thanks again!
also, randomness, so I was just now thinking of trying this binding with a leather cover. What do you think? I'm thinknig a full piece of leather tho, so i'm not sure how that will work out with it opening up, so there would basically be a spine on i, yeah idk. peace!
i just found this channel and im already subscribed and i cant help it im going to be watching your vids all the time
Welcome! :D
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, as a student I constantly download pdf books and this tutorial has been really useful!!! :D
This tutorial is very clear and exactly what I needed! I'm making my boyfriend a little book for our anniversary and this binding is going to look really cute for it. Thank you!
Thank you very much for uploading!!!I've just made my first little "book"! Greetings from Greece!
This was such a good tutorial. Thank you! So simple and clear and could follow along with minimal rewinding!
Thank you very much. Very simple to follow.

this was a great, easy to follow video. thank you so so much. used it for one of my architecture projects. thanks so much. i love it. it looks super adorable.
Thank you Sea Lemon!! Your video was really easy to follow and helped a lot.
Thanks to you, I just finished making my first hand-bound notebook and it looks great! It's going to go straight into a care package for my friend. :)
It's to easy to do and thank you. I did it because of you
YEA I DID IT. THANK YOU JENNIFER!!
Wow!....perfect for what I was looking for.
wow I really like this method. I am definitely adopting this zine making style in my production process. Thank you x
Thank you so much for this tutorial, it was really helpful for me. I will be grateful to you always thanks a lot to you once again. 👍
Thank you for this tutorial, I'll admit that I suck at crafts like this, but this video made it a lot easier to make the binding and it was enjoyable to watch the video. :)
I started with a belt punch and now have "graduated" to a 3 millimeter high speed drill fitted to an impact power drill 😂😂😂😂
It was AMAZING Great work with the Japaness BookBINDING
Evening, I tried the DIY Japanese Binding, it came out good. Thanks your video help a lot.
Well done. thank you. This was easy to follow and concise. I've wanted to try this style of binding and your video made it easy.

this is so great! have been racking my brains trying to figure out how to bind a very unique project and finally stumbled on this video. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Love all your videos, btw! simple and easy to follow. thumbs up!!
Great vid! 😉 I went and made my mom a notebook after watching this! Love your channel!!! 😉🤗💙 Also, could you show us how to do a more advanced japanese stab binding? Like, with more holes, different pattern and such?
A wonderful demonstration. I've been eager to give this a try, your definition is clear and I'm grateful. Keep designing!!
