Hey as an about-to-graduate-university bookbinder thought id comment a few tips for new bookbinders or people just making this piece for a one off time. Hope this is okay for me to comment, if not lemme know and I'll delete this! - a butter knife can work really well as an easy access bone folder replacement - pva glue works well (and as mentioned in the video most of bookbinding is just gluing : D) but watering it down a little allows you more chance to move stuff and ensure everythings lined up - though be careful not to dilute it too much - bulldog clips to keep signatures together can be a lifesaver - when using blank pages make sure to mark which side is which, cause you dont want to accidently spin them round - if you can wax your thread its defo worth it, makes the thread tangle less and be a bit stronger - depending on what you're making it with, if you can keep the covers pressed while drying that can help prevent it from warping - liquid gold leaf would be my recommendation for adding basic decoration if its not a super duper fancy project 👀 Real talk though this is so amazing and the design is really really beautiful!!! I've been looking to make my own personal version of this book and can I say the homemade gems are so good and I may have to use that technique in the future!

I wonder how Ranboo would react to this. I do love this

The fandom really went “fine, guess we’ll do it ourselves” when we didn’t get a Ranboo themed notebook

Fun fact: Ranboo's character actually inspired me to make a memory book for myself because I personally suffer from memory loss- and I had no idea what memory books were until I figured out who ranboo even was- heh. It's been super helpful and it's just mad about of a sketchbook and some other craft material I found at Walmart 😅

I have watched many people make books, but this is the first tutorial where I feel like I could actually make it. You are so good at making the process understandable and easy for people with not many professional resources. You are amazing. Dont ever forget that.

i have no idea what a Ranboo is, but the way you made gems out of hot glue was ingenious!! It's amazing what people do with hot glue.

17:50 the fact I read the word “ranboo” so fast as if it was written in my own language is worrying Since I can read that but can’t form a proper sentence when I talk to people

Don't sell yourself short. You're up there with Nerdforge's bookbinding tuts and SeaLemon's work. This is very cool and you've added a LOT of detail. If your prof wasn't impressed, he's an idiot. I do have one hint for the next project with leather. Aleene's (The same company that makes the standard tacky glue) also makes a leather glue. It holds EXTREMELY well. I've used it on scrapbooks. Worth hunting some up in the craft store.

I love this! I fell in love with the tiktok and I was thinking of using the idea for a memory book of my own of my own version of Karl’s book (I can’t remember if it has a name or not)

I’m going to make this for my ranboo cosplay!

This is incredible, the DSMP community is so talented. This is definitely something I’d want to do, you did amazing! 💚❤️

I love thiss!! You did an amazing job on designing the book!

I love this and I’ll plan on making it! Another suggestion: You could either make a normal book and quill in Minecraft or even do one of Dream’s prison books with custom text or things that contain to any lore. :)

oh, these are sick!! if you ever plan to do something like this that's more DSMP-related then I'd recommend taking a step back in time and seeing what you could do for the declaration of independence :0

I love this! I absolutely love when fictional things from fandoms are made in real life. I also love how you actually made a book FROM SCRATCH. it looks amazing and keep up the amazing work!

amazing video! I really liked how in-depth you went with everything. Also, I am going to steal that coffee

Love The Turn Back Time Reference for Another Crazy Journey. The book is vv Swag

i want to get into crafty stuff like this, and watching you make this is extremely inspiring!!

I'm so happy youtube recced this to me, I've never seen such an in-depth, easy way to put a book together. All of the materials are like so easy to get, and you explained it so well. This is just... so cool.

I WANT TO MAKE THIS SO BADLY AAAAAAA

omg, I've actually been wanting a memory book irl bc I'm going through a Ranboo arc and genuinely have such crappy memory. I'm so happy I can make Ranboo's actual book, this is so cool, tysm for making this!!!

“I’m not a professional.” Me: 0-0 Bro......Do you not see this masterpiece?!

Ranboo needs to see this really

Omg!! this is so cool, when i have the time i’m defiantly making it to be my diary!!

I love this and it just looks so amazing!!! I definitely might try to make lol, but really this was great. I loved the video and the outcome of the book!!!!

This is just what I needed! I recently taught myself how to read and write in Enderman and wanted to make a mysterious book, almost like a diary where I write in Enderman in it and my parents will have no clue what I'm doing but it'll be cool

I made it!! It took a long time and I didn’t have the same materials as you but I was creative and I’m pretty proud of it!! I thought this was such a cool thing to make and all of my friends thought so too! I didn’t think people made books of the dream smp but I found your channel and was amazed :0 :D

Good job on this! Always nice to see other people's processes. I'm not actively a fan of the dsmp but I always thought it'd be cool to be able to combine bookbinding and the streamers/content I enjoy - If jrwi had a book I could remake that'd be fuckin sick..

Bruh u might as well make the rest of the dream smp important items, like this is what i exactly image his book be in real life

This is so cool and I really hope Ranboo gets to see this! Maybe you can try posting it to twitter and tagging it with #Ranboofanart (it is art in a way after all) and @-ing him? I think he really does see things under that tag! :DD

This would be such an epic birthday gift for him. :D

Omg the music/ edit in the background is so cute and wow and I love you ❤️

Video: “print out the pages” Me: *sigh* time to write this thing by hand and try not to mess up as my printer is broken. Edit (3 days after posting this): I FINALLY FINISHED WRITING ALL THE PAGES. IT TOOK 3 DAYS BUT IT WAS WORTH IT.

Since my printer is broke.. ill just write them hours straight

I’m on an endless KZfaq rabbit hole of watching diys from the dream smp and I’m not mad about it

BRO THIS IS INCREDIBLE! THE AMOUNT OF DETAIL IN THE BOOK IS AMAZING! BRO YOUR ARE SO GODDAMN CREATIVE AND TALENTED

This reminds me of the time someone made an enchanting book!

Are we not gonna talk about how pretty they are? Great video I might wanna try this :)

just saw jess post the karl jacobs bookbinding and decided to go back to this one and i just now got the reference she made at the end. 18:31 "the next project's gonna be... 'another crazy journey'." 'Another crazy journey' is the first line of derivakat's song Turn Back Time, which talks about karl + tftsmp

The KZfaq algorithm has blessed me yet again. Can’t believe this is your second video your very well spoken and creative! You put so much detail and work into this it’s so amazing!

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN I COULD EVER DREAM OF DOING!!! YOU MUST BE SO PROUD OF IT :D

I haven't seen such a creative idea in a very long time. I am so very glad that KZfaq is smart enough to recommend this and not let this channel flop, I really like this a lot :D

This is my first ever experience seeing professional book binding so I’m really surprised you have to sew the pages instead of stapling everything together like I did growing up XD

Notice how she used a different Fallen Down song. She doesn’t want people to cry! How nice!

Anyways here’s a recipe for brownies: 1/2 cup butter 2 eggs 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup cocoa powder 2 teaspoon vanilla Put your oven at 325 and cook 30m

This is so incredibly detailed thank you 😊

THE FINISHED THING LOOKS SO EPIC WOWOWOW

What an absolute legend! Someone should show this to Ranboo if he hasn't already seen it.

Absolutely love it! Amazing work!!

you seem so legitimately nice and your voice it’s so calming! I’m looking forward to more of your content :)

I know someone through my Art Club who made this book as their sketchbook. I am just so thankful for people who make unique design that can be used for someone else interest! The person is very happy about their new sketchbook. 💜😊

I was so happy when I realized I could perfectly read "Ranboo Memory Book" at the beginning- I've been working on ender for a while :)

Please make more bookbinding content! This is so good!

I do hope I can make this! I really want to, since I’m an absolute fan of him!

This is SO AWESOME absolutely stunning I'm totally going to try following this video to make my own. Thank you so much for the tutorial the way you filmed it was so easy to understand

The music at the end just made this perfect

is it possible to just spread coffee on the edges of the pages when it’s closed - ie on the three edges that aren’t the spine, so that the book looks weathered when closed, but the pages are clean? because i would love to use the empty pages for sketches or drawing but i’m not sure i’d want to use markers on a previously-wet page, but i still like the weathered effect.

⟟ love this so much!! Its so pretty and amazing

i really love how you not only explained how to do something, but you also explained why! i found it really helpful!

Omg the undertake music in the background is just : chefs kiss

absolutely grateful for this to land in my recommendations, it's just so good holy- also the way I just immediately confirmed my sub when you showed us you had JWRI in the background at some point in the process lmao nonetheless, awesome video man :D

Thank you so much for this!! ill see if i can make it!!

ok- so- while looking up the pages(because i’m keeping track of it all, and will eventually make a new book once we get more ranboo lore-) I saw the thumbnail and took it into inspiration when designing my own- so our clasps look similar but my book is hand-taped because i’m _special_ and cheep- we had tape and a blank sketchbook, so I just used that & some scissors- I’m on page three of the first book(I’m doing all three + the lessons) and i’ve added a bit of flair to it- so i’ve added a bit of the ender writing to the inside scattered around- all of the ‘o’s are all in ender, and some ‘i’s are in ender too I really like how it looks atm tho-

My grandma had recently gotten into book binding so I think I’ll ask her to make this for my birthday

This looks so cool ima try to make this even know I have no book binging education wish me luck!

This is so rad!! i started making one right after i saw your tik tok so this is so helpful! Amazing job the design is so perfect for his character :)

this video just gave me such a nostalgic vibe...like its only been 2 years. i love it so much!

Can we just appreciate how BOOTIFUL THIS IS??? LIKE THIS PROBABLY TOOK FOREVER. I wanna try this at home but I'll probably have to watch other videos from jess so I'll just stick to Ranboo's streams for now :)

This is just simply awesome and I can not find the right words describe how much I love this ✨

THIS IS SO COOL!

AAAAAAAAAAHHH YOU ARE SO FRIGGIN TALENTED AND UNDERRATED!! Please do more!!! :D I swear- if Ranboo doesn't see this he is missing out *big* time

I watched this knowing damn well I won’t be able to make and afford these materials, but honestly this is amazing

you should make karl’s book too! :D

I love this tutorial! I also wondered how you could make Karl’s time journal thing that I often see in fan art?? Idk if it’s canonically real but it’s very cool!

I feel like this could be cool little props for ranboo cosplayers, so thank you for this!

The fact I read the enderian without having to use my translation page in my language book makes me happy

that soundtrack at the end was very uncalled for (ps, looks amazing and I'm totally going to use the book binding method for when I make my very own Death Note [anime thing]. Have you done one of those before?)

Wow, this is so good I'll probably never do it tho

im half way through making this ! it’s been such a fun process so far :D thank you so much for the in depth tutorial ! it helps a bunch :))

I love watching this knowing I will never be able to do this but still POGGGGG THIS IS AMAZING 💗💗💗💗

Well... I know what my sister is getting for her birthday

Me saving this knowing full well that I won't make it

I decided to hand write mine to make it more realistic and tbh it’s just such a nice piece of decoration

I got a book yesterday that looks exactly like a book Ranboo would have Imma make it into a memory book

I got to the end and I was like- you should do one of Karl's from the inb- "another crazy journey"- oh. I feel useless now 😂

Please make Technoblade’s next

i dont know why but my 2 year old little sister loves your bookbinding videos we cant wait for more

:0 that had to take you forever but it looks AMAZING I will do this so I can make one cause I have memory problems so thanks :>

Why does the book pages cost money

Book binding is very pog

Omggg this is adorable. If you ever make copys to sell they will be gone in matters of seconds lol

This video is about a year old, but around the time that it was uploaded, I had also just started watching JRWI, so.... y'know... that made me pretty happy to see. :]

That hot glue and Pepsi can gem trick was very high IQ, and eco friendly too.

Brb gonna go spend legit all my money at a craft store and make this because this looks so SICK YOU HAVE SO MUCH SKILL!! Ty for the tutorial it really helps a lot!!

My mom used to have a Texas Heeler (australian shepard+australian cattle dog) who chewed on all of her bone folders lol

Did anybody else watch this and then get into book binding?.... I did and my neurodivergent brain really likes it, thanks for such an awesome video

Wouldn’t be surprised to see you blow up like Ranboo in a month! This is amazing! I wish you the best

I've done some book binding before and its SUPER hard!!! This looks so good and professional!

You just made me cry in teh first second of the video. The song just made me cry for no reason. (If you were in ranboo's stream when the smiley face was like poping up you know what I mean)

I've been wanting to make the memory book myself by just buying a premade leather book from Walmart but now seeing this it makes me want to make the book from scratch. Also the finished book looks amazing you did a fantastic job!
