Post Bound Journal

Post Bound Journal
Follow along with me as we make a 6 x 4 inch post bound journal. This journal, with it's heavy cold press watercolor paper, is ideal for altered sketchbooks or collage books, as well as small watercolor paintings. To create a post bound journal, you will need the following supplies:
  • bone folder
  • ruler
  • paper to cover davey board, preferably with long fibers running through it
  • wax paper
  • glue brush
  • journal posts and screws
  • watercolor paper
  • davey board
  • scoring tool
  • pencil
  • PVA (adhesive)
  • scalpel or x-acto knife
  • paper cutter
  • self healing cutting mat
Many of the above items can be found in a bookbinding store. My favorite is Colophon Book Arts Supply in Lacey, WA. I bought aluminum binding posts and screws while in Seattle from Daniel Smith.
