I so enjoy your tutorials! They are very easy to follow. I will reference your instructions many times as I make my first journal at the ripe old age of 71. Yikes! Really and truly I don't feel or act like my age. Nik, I adore your personality and sense of humor! I am so glad I found you on KZfaq! You're the cats pajamas girl!! Keep doing your videos! Thanks Nik!

I’ve made a few books already but your videos are so full of excellent knowledge about building them that I will sure be making a bunch more for gifts and a few more for me. I will also be watching your teachable video . Nik, we love you and we/l love watching everything you do, you totally make my day when I get to enjoy anther video by my absolute favourite gal on KZfaq !!! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you very much Nik for all you do for us !!

I'm new at journal making and looked back to get your beginning videos and had a Nik the books booksmith marathon 😀This series is so helpful! Thanks so much!

Great little series! Thanks so much for sharing your techniques! Like others have said, I've been making books for a while, but it's always fun to watch someone else work through their process!

Thank you so much for taking the time to create this series!!!

Hello dear Nik, I just finished the 5 parts as if I had watched an awesome television series. I couldn't stop. I loved it and I feel much more confident to start my first real journal. A huge thank you for your detailed and precise explanations and your vluable advice. I was looking for tutorials for so long... I am very grateful to you for sharing your experience with us. I now want to watch all your others videos. So, see you soon !

I love love love this series! As soon as I have time I need to do this. I never knew I loved this until I "met" you. You are so talented and generous. And funny xx

Have I told you lately you’re awesome! I am so happy I found this crafting community. People are amazing at sharing info. I’m new and work very hard to tag and give credit. I do believe that is very important! 💜 AnaMaree

You are a great teacher. Straight to the point and great explanation. Thank-you very much.

Love the phone book trick - I’ll be keeping an old phone book in my work room form now on.

Thank you Nik, for such an informative series. It was so nice getting techniques and encouragement from such a masterful artist. I am in awe of your craftsmanship, style, and, most assuredly, your sense of humor. Loved it!

Thank you so much for this series of making covers and signatures and how to bind the signatures onto the covers! This was a confidence booster in starting a journal project! Ok stop shopping and start making! Yah!

Thank you for this wonderful 5 part series. I'm looking forward to the free class. You are very engaing ,you draw me in and I can't believe that the tutorial is over so soon. I love your channel and your materials.

I've been wanting to make a journal. I've watched a BUNCH of tutorials and most were just showing how to disguise or dress up a regular notebook. THIS was what I wanted to learn how to do. Thank you so much!

Hello Nik! I can not tell you thank you enough for these tutorials. By far they have been the most helpful! Your step by step guides and your helpful tips and tricks have made it so much easier for me to create my very own book. I also GREATLY appreciate the free printables that you have made available to us! Many, many thanks to you. ❤

Well what a breath of fresh air you are to me! My uncle passed a few days ago and in the process of getting all that worked out I found your channel and it has been so kind to my heart. Maybe it’s cause you seem so friendly or maybe cause you are comforting and fun! Whatever it is, thank you for your talent and creations being a lovely way to escape for me and I’m sure so many. And you have answered questions about my journals that I have had for a while. You’re awesome! Subscribed!

I have been binge watching your tutorials today and you are an AMAZING teacher!! I LOVE your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your talent of book-making!! 😍

Thank you, Nik. I am a quilter but have always collected paper and different things like that - and I came across your channel and I am absolutely enthralled by your work. You should be so proud! I am binge-watching all of your videos and I have two friends in mind who would love such a journal. Time to get to work (just need more time!). Again, thank you for sharing your creative ideas with us. All the best from The Netherlands.

I can't wait to make my first book! I have so many ideas and I'm itching to get started! Thank you for all your great, fun, informative and creative videos! Your books are amazing and gorgeous and I hope I have a sliver of the talent. So glad I found your channel!

So nice to watch you go through the whole process. Always entertaining to see you create and equally as pleasant to listen to you. No matter what stage you're at in journal making, there's always new bits you can learn by watching others.

I used a dental threader to pull ribbon through my eyelets. Love the books. I signed up for the free class on embellishments.

Nik, this series of videos was amazing. I was so intimidated about doing a journal where I made signatures and had to sew them in. You have taken the mystery out of it and I'm super excited to get going. Thank you for all you offer.

Excellent tutorials!!!! Love that you showed us 3 different sizes and materials. Tfs

Wow...what an amazing series! Nik, I made the three journals along with you...you made me feel like I could do it and I did!! You're so right, the "Junk Journal World" is filled with wonderful people. All are so willing to share their knowledge and experience. Bless you all!!

Thanks, Nik for this series! I have been making journals for a while but I love how you teach and explain everything so simply. I signed up for your free class. Thank you for offering it!

This has been a totally awesome series Nik! Thanks!

What a lovely series. I know this took quite a bit of time for you. Truly appreciate your sharing your talent. Loads of love back at ya.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I made my granddaughter a wedding journal and could not figure out how to put it together. I found this video and you made the process so easy!!! Without you I could have never finished this special book for her. Thanks also for the free tutorials . I learn so much from you!

You are a great teacher, Nik. Thanks for taking the time to put out such a fun and comprehensive tutorial! And, that little book....sooooo cute. ❤️

Nik your work is amazing and we appreciate everything you share with all of us. Thank you so much for giving everybody a free class,that was a very special thing to do. Again I love your work and Thank You. ❤️❤️

Oh these videos are so great! Thanks so much for making them! You're the best! 😉😉😉👍👍👍🌹

This is a wonderful series. I have been looking for something to help me with book-making and this series is perfect for me. Everything is very clearly defined and demonstrated. And you are so funny! Can't wait to get started!

Thank you for taking the time to show us the process of making these journals! I am a beginner in these types of books and bindings and this has really gave me the courage to start one. 🙂

Very helpful, and yes the people in this community are so sweet and helpful.. I so blessed to be a part of it and thank you for sharing.

I recently was asking on GF how to get started on making a junk journal. I somehow ended up here and I am sooooo glad I found you here! Your tutorials are fantastic!! They are easy to follow. I love your sense of humor and generosity of time in showing us how to sew a book and decorate the cover. I finally feel confident that I can do one of these :) I am super excited, I will def check out the teachable tut as well. While I may not get to make one soon (major changes in life, all good), I can't stop thinking of ideas to make it. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart!! PS: I have a crop-a-dile that I didn't read the manual for either and haven't used it much because of it lol. Time to take it out and use it.

Love love this!!!! I will so do your free embellishments course! I have done a few and really want to learn more!!! Thanks bunches!!

These are so enjoyable. Thank you very much for your concise videos on book making. I have made many journals and even taught people, but not for a long time so needed a refresher. Your binding is simpler than what I did but perfect for what I need right now. Thank you so much.

I love your books so far. Can't wait to see how you decorate them.

YOU DO SUCH BEAUTIFUL WORK ON THESE JOURNALS. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH ALL OF US.

Thank you for sharing . Video was very helpful . Never made a junk journal . This sure makes me want to try. 😊

Love everything this girl does!

I've watched this a couple of times and just now I hear you say "Get off" to the thread at 3:34. Made me laugh 🤣. Love these tutorials!

Here I am watching your videos, loving all of it, thinking how you must be somewhere far away from me... And then that Loveland/Berthoud phone book appears and it blew my mind!! 🤯 As a graduate of St. Vrain Valley schools (Niwot High), learning that the cool people I watch online do reside and hail from my area is extra awesome!! Keep making great bookish content!! 😍

You are too kind

I may be a little late to the party but...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS SERIES!! I'm not yelling lol! I'm just excited! Going to make my own journal TODAY!!

Thanks so much for sharing!! You make it sound like I can even do this!! Now, I just have to take the plunge!!!

This series is JUST what I needed to encourage me to start making my first JJ. I've been following your and others channels for months, and searched the net and youtube for simple instructions how-to . I've collected stuff and ephemera, even bought instant coffee and cheap tea bags, I've got my copy paper, cardstock, inks and stamps ready: here we go! Thank you Nik sharing you knowledge and inspiration
