If you are crafty and have some time, try publishing your own book at home. Start by learning how to bind your own book (or journals) and start photocopying those pages!
I would like to give this craft a try… in the meantime I’ve found this one to be very cute! It’s made by JotScribbleDoodle’s of etsy. Her handmade journal is on sale at Etsy for $12.

My daughter likes to write her own book, and some of them are not bad at all. This would be a fun project to do, right now she is using a stabler to bind hers, but I think she’d love to see something more fancy and professional looking.

I think this would be a fun project to do with kids.

I like the method that they use thread and needle, I recalled seeing this kind as a kid. This would be a neat way to bind children’s book.

Yes, I think one of my first little book (more of a pamphlet) I made as a kid was with a thread and needle too. Crafts was always my favorite thing to do then and now.

That looks so nice! I’m also selling journals on Etsy but mine don’t look nearly so cute.

Hi Studio M.M.E.,
Your journals on Etsy are very creative and I like that you try to recycle too. Keep up the good work.
