In this video, I show you how to make a stunning nature-inspired long-stitch traveler's journal. This a beginner-friendly bookbinding that would be perfect for making a notebook for DnD or a Ren Faire/ Larp. A whimsical book that fits a cottage-core or fair-core aesthetic.

This is such a cute book!! If you wanted to lean more into the Pixie Hollow vibe you could probs use glitter glue on the vains of the leaf or something 😂 But its awesome the way it is!! 🌿🧚‍♂️✨

Oh my gosh, this book is the stuff of dreams. I don't know why, I guess similarly to when you thought of the Tinkerbell movies, but it just activates the back of my brain and so many shows I watched that took place in forests, and how beautiful everything was from the architecture to the fashion to the leaves and flowers always flying around inexplicably. I LOVE THIS.

I found you through a book-binding rabbit hole, (it's WILD to me that fan-binding was something I didn't find out about until recently), and about 10 seconds into your fanbinding video, subscribed. (Spoiler: it was the absolute accuracy of reading on your phone, thinking, 'naw, I'd drop my phone onto my fa--oh, there it is!'). I honestly would just have that video on a loop in the background because you're such a gosh darn delight. The book looks awesome! My two favourite things--books and trees!

While watching this, i was reminded of my own, tiny, sketchbooks/notepads (i use em as both). I have one that i planned for use for DnD things that looks really nice and cool and cost a little extra, and one from dollar tree with a fun cover. Guess which one is more used lol. There is exactly one page with an unfinished (and honestly not very good) drawing of fire in one, and I'm running out of room on the other. I should buy more time sketchbooks from dollar tree lol At first i grabbed my nice one, then i got stuck as to what i should draw (bc i am not continuing that flame). So instead i continued a feather doodle in the dollar tree pad, that will eventually look like a pheonix feather bc i hc Tango of the Tek variety as a phoenix hybrid bc wings cool and Team Ranchers be winged bois in my writing (Jimmy is obviously a canary, as per common fanon) Now i have a quill and half of a vane drawn, but i still need to fix that line lol. I can't really draw people so my (good) fanart consists of objects or symbols that represent things, like a cool clock type thing that i need to finish for Limited Life and a crown I drew for Techno a year ago that will be a tattoo someday, and now this feather that is looking pretty promising Sry my ADHD rambling got the better of me lol, i just love your creative project videos and they really make me want to create, so I started rambling about my creating as a sign of that. ADHD be weird sometimes, but i love that about me all the same lol

You should try paper making sometime! It's good for recycling paper and if you get good at it, you could use it instead of old sketchbooks or printer paper. (Not forced ofc) but I personally got into paper making because of your ranboo book video because i didn't have enough blank paper. Totally recommend though!

if you wanted to put a cord, or string through the extra holes you made, you could add more details to the journal. like tying on a charm or making a bow. Happy accidents are just tests of creativity. I love the journal though. it's cute and would work for a lot of things.
