Before I started using an Awl to bind my books I basically stabbed and struggled to get a handy dandy needle through all the pages. It was a sufficient method if I a)was making a notebook for myself and didn't really care what it looked like b) was using fairly thin paper/the book didn't contain many pages.
Honestly I spend days watching youtube videos about bookbinding. All my free time that I don't spend reading new novels, writing, or you know, having somewhat of a social life... is spent researching new methods and using those methods to make notebooks. Last semester I made nearly twenty of these:
...It was for a last minute craft fair.
If you're wondering, yes, they are made out of recycled tea boxes... and yes I made two of them with my new awl just before this.... and it was AWESOME.
That's all I really had to say. I'm just a huge crafting nerd who spends spring break making notebooks. Oh well.
On another note. Off dairy, maybe officially. Doctor said the irritation to it was probably just a virus that I had, but still feel skeptical.... even though I have been craving making mac and cheese for a little while.
Hope all is well,
Best Wishes!
