It's ingenious, but you may want to pare down the edges of the leather to get rid of the bulge it creates. I believe it helps stretch the material and also adheres better, but I'm still an apprentice as far as bookbinding is concerned. Google it! =)Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13878444075905458602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967135866386591951.post-59711823177997031732014-03-12T19:35:24.657-07:002014-03-12T19:35:24.657-07:00hello, how do you engraved the name?hello, how do you engraved the name?Kathy Huanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07456763493264675317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967135866386591951.post-46648336274236362672014-02-27T06:39:42.724-08:002014-02-27T06:39:42.724-08:00I hate Missionaries,who are they to go around and ...I hate Missionaries,who are they to go around and tell people that their god is not good enough and the Jesus is the only god.

You just wrap the journal a whole bunch of times with the straps of leather, it's not actually tied at the end. Is that what you were asking?
