Thank you for the great DIY tutorials; yes, I'd appreciate any DIY tutorials you'd like to offer. I think they can always help and can never hurt. Thank you for taking the time to share them.

Thank you! I sort of new to journaling and I am slowly trying to build my tool collection. I've never seen a punching cradle and I can't wait to make one. It will make punching the holes so much easier. I'm excited to see what other ideas you have to share. :)

This great, I have struggles for so long on punching my signatures. I will make this soon. Thank you so much.

I have been using nails as my awl but now I can put a handle on them, thank you for this tutorial

A very good tutorial and useful, tools are so expensive especially when your buying different ones for different crafts. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤

This was amazing! Yes please more diy tools. I love the punch box.

Fabulous tutorial! Can't wait to make my own book cradle & use it to help me use up my huge stash of papers. Yes, please for more DIY tools. Thanks!

Yes please more tools . I’d love my students to be able to make books.

Brilliant, thank you! Would love some more DIY tool ideas, I’m starting out and just love your tutorials.

This is such a great tutorial video. I am a librarian and I might do a program using your ideas. Thank you for sharing.

These are brilliant! I did bookbinding decades ago and loved it. Now in retirement I want to make watercolor books with the paper of my choice. Thank you!

Yes, more DIY tool ideas would be appreciated!

Hi thank you for this, I made the cradle yesterday and it has come up well. I look forward to using it.

I loved this. I am making the cradle today.

Yes. I would love more of these tutorials

I found that 3 ring binders have super heavy cardboard inside the vinyl covers. Most businesses throw the out. You can find them in thrift stores and creative reuse centers. Cheap. Sometimes free. Just cut the covers off the binder and strip off the vinyl.

Yes, please, more DIY tutorials, this one was great, thank you for sharing 😊

Yes, please make more videos about tools we can make. Love these thank you

I love making and using diy tools. 😊

Love the book binding cradle and yes please to more diy craft tools ideas.

Yes, more please!!

Yes please. Enjoyed this video ❤

Great tutorial - more please!

Great ideas, more please. Thanks

Love diy tools ❤

Excellent ideas - thanks!

thank you for a very helpful video. a benefit of making tools, i find, is that I feel like a more competent crafter/artist - gives me more confidence in my ability to create. more of the same will be appreciated.

Excellent! Thank you!

Thank you for this excellent tutorial! 😊

Great tutorial! Yes more pls 💝

Thank you! This is a great way to get started or test out the process, as well as using what we have on hand. I'd like to know if there are other tools we can make. 😊

I loved this! I homeschool and will be teaching a class on beginner book binding so these diy tools are perfect.

Thank you for the bone cradle plan. I have substituted the awl and bone folder easily enough, but punching the signatures has been patience and luck, with the holes occasionally going to one side by the time the awl goes through.

Great video, getting supplies together to make a punching cradle!

Very nice tutorial, would love to see more. New subscriber😊

This is brilliant ~ quick, easy, useful, free 🌷💕🌸

This was a great tutorial, Ali! Loved these DIY tools. Thank you so much, Ali!
