One of the beauties of life is being yourself. Leaving a trace of yourself even in the smallest things in your life. Every new day is full of life and emotions. Every day is a fresh breath. Write down the little things that happen to you, the feelings that bottle up in you. Don’t let precious memories slip away.

We accompany you when you’re pouring your feelings out on a diary. When you mark the birthday of your love in your very own calendar. We want you to be yourself and to know that you’re special just the way you are.

The following are options you can include in your notebook:

 

 

 

Notebook Size

Our notebooks usually come in three sizes: A5, A6, A7. The covers are 15.5 x 21.7 , 11 x 15.5 and 8 x 11 cm consequently.

In addition to these sizes, the sizes 21.7 x 21.7, 25.7 x 35.7 and 21.7 x 25.7 are possible for us to make.

Orientation

Notebooks are usually made Portrait. It is also possible to make your notebook landscape.

Fabric used for front and back cover

You can choose your own fabrics from the available ones. Or you can buy your desired fabric yourself, then bring it to us to use.

Combination of fabrics

In the case of cotton fabric covers, it’s possible to combine two to three different fabric designs together.

Cotton strand or decorative stitch

When we combine more than one fabric for the cover, we can stitch a decorative strand on the overlapping margins. Or we can stick a strand of delicate dantelle instead.

Binding the cover to the spine

We have two methods of attaching the book spine to the cover (front and back). One method is to pierce one hole in each row and put the thread through. Or to pierce two smaller holes in each row and put the thread through both holes. 🔷🔸🔷

Paper type and colour

By default, our papers are 105-gram chickpea colour Kraft paper made by Pars paper producers.

You can choose paper colour and type (available in the market).

For instance, we use 160-gram (Fabriano, Canson, …) for our birth books and photo albums with a range of colours. 🌸

Number of pages

You can choose the number of pages you want your journal to have. In doing so, you must take into account the following:
In Coptic stitching method, papers are folded and then grouped.
The number of pages you choose must be a multiple of 4, 6, 8, or 10.

Printing on the paper

By default, our notebooks aren’t lined. You can choose to have lines. We can print your chosen text (a poem, a picture, a drawing, a few hand-written lines) on any of the pages.

Calendar

In the A5 or A6 size notebooks, we can prepare the current year calendar. In the case of A6, we have a page of a week’s calendar and the page facing it is lined for notes.

In the A5 size, we have a month printed on every page. The calendar finishes after the first twelve pages, you can have lined pages after the 12th page for your lovely notes. 🌷

A wooden plaque

We can carve a name, a pattern or logo on a wooden plaque and place it on the cover. This option is best for gifts, memorial books, and birth books.

 

Bookmark

We can make bookmarks with the same thread we use for stitching your notebook. There is a beautiful wooden bead at the end of the thread. A bookmark helps you mark your favorite page, or the page you’re currently writing on.

The end of your bookmark

It will look nice if you choose to have a name carved on a wooden plate and attached to your bookmark.

But the size of the plate depends on the size of notebook. We will adjust it somehow that it suits your notebook best.
