I love this! I don't like the look of the punch and sew style. This one is so much nicer, AND easier! thank you!

Just found this video. Thank you so much for a clear explanation of how to do this type of binding. :)

I bind my journals this way. I made a cover of plain (or recycled) chipboard, then covered it with a decorative cover after tying the strings, so the strings are covered. I actually like the strings showing, though. One suggestion I have is to fold a piece of cardstock in half and put it over the page edges you are sliding under the string. It will make it easier and also protect the edges of your pages. This is a great video -- very well done. Thanks! I just subscribed.

Halooo from Denmark. Thank you for your videos and lots of inspiration. ( my spelling may be wrong but I hope that you understand ) I have learned so much , and you have a great way to teach. Love from Susan

You make it look so easy - I love how you explain things and also share it in written form. You're a great teacher and share so many wonderful creations with us - thank you.

NATASHA!!! BRILLIANT!!!! Love this method !!!!i thank you for showing and sharing with us !!! I love the fact that i can take out pages as well as put new pages in..and i love your creative edges on your paper!! Have a blessed day !!!❤🐦

Very helpful, thank you!!! I was wondering how people were taking the pages out.😏 Then putting them back in, after working on them. Magic!!

Thank you for another great video Natasa. I love the simplicity and the practicality of this journal design. And it's beautiful!! As for the bindings, my old library liked to give away old copies of Readers Digest. This is a wonderful use for those unwanted volumes. This is an "all around" great idea.

Love your journal and will try to make one. You are a very good teacher. Thank you.

You are just the best teacher!! Thank you so much for sharing what you do with us!!

Omgosh Natasha!! I’m so impressed!! It came out amazing for my very first one! Thank you so much for giving us a very simple version! No gluing, no sewing, and double sided tape to bind!! Amazing! Thanks love all your crafting that you do!

Just subscribed...this is exactly what I was looking for as I do not own a sewing machine...plus "old" eyes. Well done

I am working on creating my first journal and your instructions were just wonderful. Thank you so much.

Thank you Natasha! You rock!❤

This came out wonderful Thank you so much .I will be doing this for my next bullet journal.

Clarity is the best quality of a teacher! I'm excited about this binding because I plan to create individual books for my ancestors, and this binding allows me to easily add or remove pages if I find more information about an individual in the future. I love it!"

You explain it in a great way, I feel I can do it successfully, thank U so much♥️

Perfect!!!...i have a few Readers Digest books and now i know what i will do with them. Thanks so much.

Fantastic, simple method that allows flexibility. 😊 Love it!

Love the look of this! Once again, your instructions are spot on!

This was wonderful! I don’t have the book binding apparatuses in my stash and want to make one so badly! This I can do! ( I hope 😑) Thanks and I love your work!👍

Thank you for this video, like the pretty edges in you signatures.

Oh my goodness I love this I have a cookbook collection better pamphlets that their cover fell apart but the cover still intact it was the spine I'm going to use this to fix it thank you love your videos

Great tutorial. Thank you for your detailed instructions!

Thank you so much for your instructions and patience.

Hi Natasha, I love that you have your step by step instructions on a page next to your video. Such a helpful aid.

Sooo excited 👏🏼 Thankyou for your generosity of time . I’m off to make 😍

Natasa you are the first and only person I have Subscribed to because I'm in awe of all you do. I'm new to Junk journaling, but since a young girl I've kept journals which I had many of and lost them all, so this past January 1st 2024 I began my very first Junk Journal ❤

Natasa (is that the correct spelling of your name?), you have such patience when you teach us. I love that you make notes to follow; you are always very well-prepared. As a viewer, I appreciate that. This kind of binding is so user-friendly. I have yet to master the pamphlet stitch; my needle holes never line up. The ability to add or subtract pages, or even signatures themselves, is very appealing. As far as the strings being too tight, my guess is they will probably stretch with use. How much depends on the type of twine or cord used. Elastic is easy, but it has a short shelf life. I just unpacked some old clothes so I could use the fabric in my journals and all the elastic has turned to crumbs. I'll probably still use elastic for some journals, but for most I'll use twine, which offers yet another way to personalize one's creation via the choice of color and material. Great video, as always. I am learning a lot from you. ~ Lisa

I can't wait to try this! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you. I’m going to give it a try🤗

I love this! Thank you!

Love this one! Thank you.

I love this idea

Thanks for the video The explanation was great and I was able to make one myself after watching easily.

Great alternative binding! Great tutorial! TFS the inspiration!

Thank you! Quick, easy and to the point. I can’t wait to make one of these!

Great! I will be making a journal like this. Thank you💕🙏🇦🇺

Aha I knew if I searched enough I would not have to sew my signatures in my books. I have tried and I cannot get the darn things to work. Thank you Natasa so much

Yeah!! I hoped you would do a tutorial!! Thank you!❤

Great tutorial!

Love this method. Sewing signatures has scared me but i’m Now excited to give this method a go!

Great information!

After watching your videos at least 2 or 3 times, I finally made my first junk journal using this binding method. I have been paper crafting for years and have made mini albums and I scrapbook and make cards. When smash books came out I tried one of those. I believe that evolved into junk journals. Now that I have mine constructed and my signatures together I am excited now to learn how to make the many different other items to add to it. Because I scrapbook my choice 0f papers are more colorful, but as you say when you open it, it is supposed to make you happy. So thank you!!

Thank you, loved this tutorial

The very first jj I made two years ago I used this binding. I loved it; I hung charms from the ends of the twine outside. Turned out really cute!

Can't wait to get another book cover this was so we'll explained!!💜✌️☮️

I love this type of binding, as you say it is so simple. For me it is the fact that I can remove a page if I want to stamp on it or do something that is going to take a while to dry. I haven’t used this method for a while so thank you for reminding me how easy it is x

Thank you this was a great video 😀

I love your tutorials. I make a screen shot of your tutorials-notes and put them in a cover. So i have a thick tutorials-book for the next generation. Thank you, love from The Netherlands👍🏻😃

You made that look so easy. I'm hoping to try it that way but with elastic cording. TFS❤️

Thank you for this great tutorial!

Thank you so much for sharing a great tutorial I’ll give it a try with two thick signatures I’ve made and didn’t want to do any sewing to the spine🤔🤔🤔😂😂

Just love how you do tutorials 😍 Thank you ❣️

Thank U Thank U Thank U SO much for sharing this awesomeness! I've been wanting to start junk journals but I do not sew and that has been a HUGE reason as to why I haven't been able to start My Junk Journal journey... LoL! This is a wonderful option. Thanks again for sharing cause U totally made My day 🌞 ~Mel~

So interesting! Thanks for introducing me to a new way to keep a journal together! Your directions are so clear! TFS!

Thank you so much. Excellent video! I appreciate how organized you are. 🙂

THANK YOU!!!💗

So happy I found this...I am creating my 5th journal (but first with a hard book cover) and had no idea how to do the binding in this case...this is perfect..thank you Natasa..will be sure to give you a shout out on my video of this on my new channel..again thx

Love the idea and looking forward to using this method to making one using watercolor paper. Your explanation and the written instructions are great. Thank you for sharing.

Job Well Done!! This is exactly the type of binding that I need for my prayer journal which is my first one too!! Thanks again!!

I really like this idea for doing a year in a journal, so easy to add pages if wanted. Thanks. I will definately be making one of these.

I can try that! You made it look easy.

Thank you! 😍

Great tutorial

Brilliant, your teaching is so clear. I’ll be trying this thank you 😘

I’m so happy, Natasa, that you did this tutorial so quickly after saying that you would do one. I don’t have lots of time for making journals anymore and I love this quick method. When my circumstances change then I can sew in the signatures. You are the only one I have seen who writes out the steps. That is very helpful! I ALWAYS look forward to your videos!♥️
