DIY Rapunzel’s journal 2.0: by hero central:
Afternoon folks, Alex here with a project update on the DIY Rapunzel journal from Tangled the series, using case and long stitch binding. After looking closely at the book from the series, it seems the book seemed more of a square than an A5 scaled rectangle. The measurements I took for this developed book were 19cm X 14.5cm, and cut down the signatures accordingly, with a craft knife. Another change was the loss of the line stitches at the end of the crosses as my past versions showed strength and the piece holding together well, plus looking at the reference image above from videos I’ve watched on Youtube I looked at the distance between the crosses and incorporated this when creating the binding holes in the text block. My personal touch was using a corner punch on the cover and pages so that they would harmonise together when closed.
Now in your personal opinion Tangled fans which looks better the first two versions or this 2.0 version?
Overall this shows that I am close to authenticity of the book and my next challenge will be the ring bound journal from Kingdom hearts and possibly the book of prophecies soon after, so stay tuned.
In addition I shall update my comic projects soon as I have comic con to prepare for and animation practice for future use and understanding so thank you for your patience.
