Bolt Bound Journal

Описание: Bolt Bound Journal | Foundational Book Gutting Method (Rivets & Rust Kit)

In today’s cozy crafting session, I’m creating a Bolt Bound Journal using my Rivets & Rust junk journal kit. This is a foundational method for gutting a book and transforming it into a sturdy, reusable journal base using bolts, washers, and industrial-style hardware.

This technique is perfect if you want a strong, customizable structure that can grow with your journal — add pages, remove sections, or rebuild as you go. I walk you through the process step by step, from preparing the book cover to assembling the bolt binding, making this a great method for beginners and experienced journal makers alike.
