So I did my research, found the inserts, printed my pages and began trying to put order to the book. I bought the kit from a seller on Etsy but there are no instructions. I got the typical it's so easy, just do this response from the seller. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
The good side of it is, I decided not to use the print outs, but to hand write the book. Going off my experience with the Abner Diary, I decided to follow parts of the build a little different. It's much easier to write in pages out of the book rather than in them. I'm a lefty so I always struggle on the right hand side of any book while writing. I had a ball with the Abner diary hand written, and completed, so I want the same feel doing this.
So, I researched a little on making books by hand and checked out the Grail Diary on instructables.com .
I decided to cut out my pages and then I decided to make them oversized, so when I fold them over, they can be trimmed to fit.
I used a paper cutter to do this cutting 6 sheets at a time. If you are serious about paper props, you may want to invest in some paper tools. Hobby lobby has the 40 percent of coupon all the time.. I use it every time.
I made 10 mini books and pressed them together. This way, I can now begin to start hand writing my Diary one page at a time.
