Learn how to make your own notebooks and journals!
Here's what you'll need:
Waxed thread - this is a type of thread coated in beeswax that bookbinders use, but you can use embroidery floss, regular thread, or even dental floss
Paper - this can be any paper you want to use, but be warned, if you use lined paper, the lines will probably end up running the wrong way
Needle - whatever needle you have, as long as you can thread your floss material
Something to poke holes with - not a hole punch! Can be a pair of scissors, a large pin, a pen, or anything else that you can poke through several sheets of paper with
Fancier paper for the cover - you can use construction paper, scrapbooking paper, or wrapping paper, but I'll also show you how to make marbled paper in the tutorial!
