The very first do-it-yourself Peg and Awl product! In the spirit of handmade wares and near-forgotten craft, our bookbinding kit not only offers a journal to fill with words and scribblings, but also teaches the art of hand-bound bookbinding.

The style of this book was influenced by my love of Anselm Kiefer and his book Transition from Cool to Warm, a book I picked up in Brussels one fine evening many years ago. It includes beautiful uncovered books that, in addition to housing extraordinary paintings, also show – with dirt and bendy corners – all of the love and travels his books endured.

Understanding the sewing process of bookbinding is the first step in making a sound book.

Also available: 6″ Anselm Landscape Journal

- 1 instruction booklet

- 1 sheet of illustrated steps

- Hand-torn, line-free Strathmore drawing paper (80 lb. [130 g/m²])

Glue is not included. Wheat paste is easily created by combining one part flour to four parts of hot water. Bleached flour works best.

i love this little size!
i love this little size! i’d wanted to get a set of kits for so long but i wasn’t sure what i’d use the journals for…so i decided to use it for whatever strikes me & not having a purpose or goal has made it my favorite. i also made one for my child with a pokemon cover & we’ve started journalling together every day. SO MUCH FUN!!! such a lovely inspiration, i’m so happy i went for it & got these treats.

I love this little book!
I love this little book! The pages are off white, nice weight, similar to drawing paper and have a slightly torn edge that make it unique. All the signatures were perfectly cut/folded and had the holes.
The kit came wrapped in paper, which was also the illustrated instructions (so be carefully opening the little package). Everything I needed was included, needle, string, and two sets of instructions. I especially valued the illustrated instructions as I’m a visual learner and these instructions in particular helped to clear up a couple of confusing areas.
Would order again!

Carla J My first kit

My first kit and project was so gratifying that I ordered 3 more. The materials were of great quality and I found the wrappings so delightful, I ironed them to use in future projects. I’ve been so inspired by your videos to create more journals. I’ve been writing in a gratitude journal for 5 years and I think I’ve discovered the beauty of a hand bound journal for my next 5 years. Thank you!!
