Replicating 'The Notebook' Part 1: Planning, Folding Signatures, Cutting Boards, Sewing and Trimming

For those dyed-in-the-wool romantics out there, I'm certain the 2004 film 'The Notebook' holds a special place in your hearts. For those who haven't seen the film (no spoilers!) it is the story of Allie Nelson and Noah 'Duke' Calhoun, whose life-long love is retold through the pages of Allie's journal. The notebook itself takes on a significance all its own throughout the film which I can't properly convey here, though the fact that it takes the title role should give a hint of its importance. The book in the film was of course just a movie prop, with a small group of pages pre-printed and repeated multiple times to give the effect of a filled journal. In this video series I embark on recreating that journal as it might have been before Allie first set pen to paper. I've tried to make the video in a tutorial style, which you can follow to either make your own 'The Notebook' notebook, or a journal that's all your own. You can follow along as I plan out the project, cut and fold paper
