I am a complete beginner — is this guide right for me?
I am a complete beginner — is this guide right for me?
Yes. The guide starts with absolute basics — what paper and supplies to buy, how to fold your first signature, how to bind your first spine — before moving progressively through more advanced pocket, tuck spot, and cover techniques. Many complete beginners finish their first mini journal in a single weekend. The supplies guide at the beginning tells you exactly what to purchase before you start.
What supplies do I need to get started?
What supplies do I need to get started?
The guide includes a complete starter supply list and paper buying guide. For most beginner projects you need scrap paper or a paper pack, a bone folder, scissors, glue or double-sided tape, and a needle and thread — all widely available and inexpensive. The guide recommends starting with mixed scrap paper and basic craft glue, which are affordable, forgiving, and perfect for learning every technique before moving to specialty ephemera and adhesives.
