that moment when I realize the spine of the journal I'm using to make all the cute scrapbook-style pages in might not hold up to this

if all else fails, you could maybe re-bind the book?

the signatures would already be sewn together so the worst part would be done!

ohhh I know this pain

DOWNSIDE THIS JOURNAL WAS HANDMADE FOR ME it real cute i would prefer not to!

but also the spine is Going Through it

OH YEAH THAT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE

IT CUTE it has a pink spine and unicorns and rainbows on the front cover

we just finished the halfway mark on the first signature and the journal is straining

this is what i get for putting thick rhinestones in

no i will not be accepting criticisms at this time

ganbatte, journal spine...

What if you keep the covers but do an open spine? Like a Coptic stitch binding?

Ohhhh I wouldn't know how to modify it like that but I'm probably going to teach myself how to make coptic stitch journals in the future
