>> I'm with Kat.

>> I'm in all of them.

>> Yeah. Team of today's vlog is being

created. So, we did a lot of creative

things. Just finished pottery class.

Um that'll probably be the first

scene I show. I hope this is a sign to

be creative.

>> It's so embarrassing.

>> Never mind.

>> This is so s-

>> That's That's the difference.

>> This the

the difference?

>> Do you want to eat something?

>> We're binding books right now. I'm doing

mine with fully translucent paper, but

it's a bit more like vellum. So, it's

not as

transparent as like normal tracing

paper. And she's doing hers with a mix

of regular paper and the translucent

paper. And she's using

these like leftover pages from her work,

and she's just folding them.

And then like folding it again.

I was trying not to do as many

voiceovers for this vlog cuz I like the

ASMR of the clips, but I was playing

music in the background, and it's a

little hard to extract the audio, so I'm

just going to talk over the clips. This

was my first time binding a book, but

did anyone else go on a field trip to

like a farm in elementary school and

like make your own paper? I always

wonder if kids who are in elementary

school now are going on these fun

whimsical trips that we used to go on

when we were kids. Let me know if you

know. This is Kat's

>> I did

>> and I did it wrong.

So, my s- like first line is kind of in

the middle, but still a book.

I did mine in mostly tracing paper as I

said.

>> Mine is 50/50.

>> I decided not to have a cover for my

journal cuz I like the sides.

>> And I also put this photo in between the

pages.

>> It's so bright.

>> Um the real goat has has arrived.

>> That one?

>> Me.

Yes, the rumors are true.

I moved and this is my house.

Hand binded books.

So real.

So local.

So resourceful.

After visiting Kat at the flea market, I

went to this cafe to do some journaling

and drawing. And of course, I got a chai

latte. Did you guys guess? The reason I

made my journal with translucent paper

is so I could use it for drawing my

fashion designs. If you know, it's

easier to draw thumbnails when you have

a croquis underneath. So I spent about

10 minutes drawing my figures and this

is me showing how I will utilize these

drawings. The croquis themselves are

looking a bit rough, but if you know,

they're just used for quick thumbnail

sketching. And just to show you guys an

example, this isn't a design, but this

is an outfit I'm going to wear next

week. So I just drew it for you guys. I

also drew a head template so I can use

it for drawing hats and stuff. Again,

this is just a quick sketch.

I am about to go to this craft supply

store because I'm hosting a small dinner

party with some of my friends and I

wanted to do a little craft activity.

And I thought it would be fun to make

those rosettes. So I'm going to go to

the craft store to see if they have any

cute like patterned paper or any like

stickers or anything I can put in and

I'm going to

come back home and make a little

work station.

I arrived to the craft store.

Okay, I'm back home now. Going to do a

complete haul. So first, I got this

washi tape. but like how striped it is.

And I'm thinking maybe people can cover

some paper in this, so this can be a

like one of the

strips. Also, I found this lace ribbon.

I thought it would be cute to add some

texture. My paper haul, this one's a

yellow and pink one. The pink is like a

print on top of the yellow. It's

textured. I think they make the paper.

I'm not sure. And another paper I got is

this beautiful

plum pink. And then I just got this

regular

dusty blue one. I thought it would be a

nice contrast to the pattern ones. But

yeah, I'm going to do a test one. My

main problem is that I don't have super

glue or anything. I only have glue

stick, but I also have needle and

thread.

And one

two I think almost everybody that's

coming knows how to use

knows how to hand sew. I'm going to

start by cutting all these strips. Like

I'm going to cut all of them, so it's

ready for my friends as well. I think

this is

a good thickness for the thin strips,

but we need to like

need to determine the length, the size.

I think this is good. So, I'm going to

tie this.

Going to set this as my

Okay, I have determined that this is my

thickness and length for the big strips,

and then

this is the one for the smaller strips.

I'm excited. Okay, I haven't glued it

together yet.

But look, I made these little

pieces, and then I'm going to glue

everything, and then I covered this one

in the washi tape.

Yeah. Going to glue it together, and

then I'll be back. We need to bring back

crafting as a society, but do you know

what we really need to come back? Y'all

remember the freaking wreck my journal

or like wreck this journal? Like

I had one of those, and what happened to

that? When I cut out a bunch of circles

in this size this free little zine

pamphlet thing from a movie theater.

And maybe I can like

cut out some faces with this The colors

are just so nice.

My only thing is I don't know what these

movies are. So, how do I know it's not

some crazy movie that I don't want to be

promoting?

So, these are all of the options I have.

I might just leave them as these

rectangles and then let people choose

which ones they want to use. And then

anything left over, I will just

keep for journaling. And I'm sure some

people will

not even want to use this. Maybe some

people just want to use the um plain

circles.

I'm having so much trouble

What did I say like that?

I'm having so much trouble. I don't know

if I should use this girl or this cat.

I feel like this is more whimsical.

But the colors of this one match.

Okay, I've decided. I'm going to use

this girl for this one. And then I'm

going to use this for when I make it

again with the pink lace and everything.

This is so cute. Oh my god.

And then I used some of the

extras from the zine for this part.

Guys,

oh my god.

So cute. I've also continued cutting out

strips. Um that's what I'm going to do

for the next however long. I'm going to

get everything set up and then set a

little station.

Okay, here is the final work station. So

excited.

>> [laughter]

>> That was my talking in the vlog. Yeah,

that was my talking.

>> And more.

>> Wow, yours is so like big and grand.

[laughter]

>> This is mine.

>> Yeah, yours is cute.

>> Don't let the paper put it

>> In any combination you want.

>> Cuz you could you could do four of the

same ones or like two different ones or

anything.

>> Also, it seems like we only have four

options anyway.

>> What do I say right now?

>> Why are they still talking about it.

>> Seven months, eight months from now.

>> And you were like

>> [laughter]

>> How's it going, Kat?

>> Good.

>> Okay. Oh, sorry, that was so loud.

Hey, there's

there's

four three more that should be here with

these.

>> But it's okay, mine's a pretty sitting

here.

>> Oh, okay.

>> These are four, this is my brother's

cats, mine, and Han.

>> Seems like this one was the leftover

one. Not everyone used this one.

>> I I did.

>> Oh yeah, you did. How do you rate the

activity?

>> Had some fun conversation topics while

we did it, like in all groups. So, I

would rate it a solid nine out of 10.

>> Okay.

>> Mhm.

>> It would have been a 10 if we did it

together.

>> Yes.

>> Yes. And it was an easy activity.

>> I would rate it 10 out of 10 because she

took the effort to come.

>> Oh, that's so true. Actually, that was

so nice.

No, because it was actually so much more

enjoyable because of her preparation.

>> a activity for us.

>> Yeah, the I really like the red one red

one. I wanted more of these stripe

That's washi tape fun. We made it with

this washi tape.
