DARK ACADEMIA DIY'S | How To DIY Dark Academia Aesthetic 

you're making living your Dark Academia dream so easy, cheap and accesible that it's just perfect. You're so talented yet underrated.

A good idea for the book pages is to go to your local thrift shop / garage sales and look for vintage books that are in rough / poor condition. Sometimes (depending on where you'll look) you can find books that are absolutely desecrated for free or next to nothing, and they'd just get thrown out anyways.

I feel like my soul lives in 19th century. I just love classic stuff

I love your tutorials! They're easy to follow, accessible and you don't need a whole bunch of fancy stuff.🧡💛

If you burn the edges on the paper it gives it a more aged vibe

I love all these DIYs but sadly I've done them all before! For the notebook instead of cardstock for the cover, I used a piece of leather from an old jacket and watercolour paper on the inside. I use it for a simple floriography journal in which I go out and paint the flowers then add in pen their meanings

If you want your papers look older and more medieval-aged, I would recommend you to use tea granules. Put them into big dish, take a few spoons of it, spill hot water, and then put in your papers. You can put some granules on the paper too, and after it dries, it will leave very good looking stains. Leave it for at least few hours or over night so it would be more brown. I also like to print something in black on my papers and then use for collaging.

You could also wrap the notebook in fabric instead of paper. Love your videos! ❤️

ahhhhh i love ur videos soo much i cant belive im early

I recently found your channel and absolutely fell in love with the content. The DIYs are creative and beginner-friendly and the videos are smooth and calming. I hope you can do royalcore next. Keep up the good work.

for the paper making i also stuck it in the oven at a low heat for ten minutes! i found that it really brought out the golden colour :)

I had to do the first one in 5th grade for my titanic project. Im happy somebody's finally showing others how easy it is!

My aesthetic is something I like to call Cottage-Goblin Academia, Corvid Edition. Your videos have quickly become some of my favorite

You are literally so underrated, I loved this so much!

I've been making the paper the whole day first imused tea but it wasn't staining so I put coffee and the paper turned out insaneeeeeeeee

Hello from Canada! I like your DIY Dark Academia crafts aa lot because they are doable, and I don't need to buy a lot of stuff from the craft store! My fave is the little book with its tea-stained pages! I like making books, and your method is new to me. I like your clear instructions for sewing the pages together! Thanks for sharing! Cheers! ~Janet in Canada P. S. I have subscribed to your channel!

for the aged paper i would highly recommend letting it air dry/pressing it between 2 towels before putting it on the make shift washing line, i've done it before and it can rip the paper if you put it on straight away :)

i love it! but for the 'rain' clip at the very beginning, i immediately went 'ma'am thats a garden hose'

Very pretty 😀

You are amazing literally you saved my all money

Haha omg i used the exact same for an art project years ago. Funny to see

The notebook looks like the tom riddle notebook!

i do the second one with the leather i found in our house as the cover

I’m so going to try the book! I know I’m late but thanks so much for making this video!

This is so detailed and slow so it's very easy for me to do especially I Don't have enough money to buy some expensive ones so I'll just make my own Thank you so much for this video 🥰🥰

For anyone who wants to make the notebook bigger or is worried about the thread breaking, you can buy wax coated string used for bookbinding and it'll hold much better

Can you pretty please do fairycore? I love your videos so much! Have a nice day lol

Hi !!. I love your videos so much! They bring so much joy and happiness. Just a request, can you please make a bookshelf tour video. You can totally skip this idea if you want to but through all your video your bookshelf has been catching my eye and I just thought to give you a suggestion. Have a nice day!

Amo estos vídeos ✨

❤🌠✨

Scattered coffee grounds really give the paper an extra old texture!

you can also iront the paper to get out the wrinkles:)

I bound my own book, it’s a bit lopsided but I love it 🥰 I’m gonna do it again because it’s falling apart lol

I don't know if you already have one but it would be really cool if you made a tik tok account :))

❤❤❤

coffee and tea stained paper is good how ever the acidity in the coffee will make what you put on the paper not last offset/nutralize the ph balance with baking soda should make your markings last longer. for the sketchbook/notebook part I found that old t-shirt and or faux-leather works too faux leather you can use with cardboard details on the cover to give it a raised detail look but best to use fabric glue for these. If you also want the signatures/paper more sturdy and not rip out of the book glue down 1 paper piece from the inner book to each of the inner covers you can do this in place of the extra black paper that they show in the video. Happy DIY ;3

♥️

And here I thought tea/coffee stained paper was just paper with stains/cup rings from drinking and being deliberately clumsy... today I learned haha

Could you look into making a green academia DIY? Sorry if you've already done one by the way just thought that it would be pretty cool

thank you so much ily

you can also dry the paper in the microwave

5:00 I need it😍

I’m a baby witch, just using this for ideas

My dad got me some defect printer paper (just because they were selling it cheap) and now i know what to do with them!

Not me seeing this while listening to "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" in a loop-

i cant stop watching your videos, i just wanna make all of these! (and I probs will lol!) however, tiny advice for the moon phases, the middle phase on your bookmark doesn't exist! the bookmark you were trying to make seemed to be the second half of the moon phase, skipping the new moon (the phase were the moon is in front of the sun so the moon isn't visible) and the third quarter moon! (where only half of the moon is visible to us!) the actual moon phase you'd be looking for is a waning gibbous moon phase! it's basically a full moon minus a waxing cresent moon! if you're confused, you can just google it if you'd like! also to clear up confusion, waxing means "to increase" so that's when the moon starts as a new moon and is slowly growing to a full moon. waning means "to decrease", so continuing from a full moon and slowly shrinking to a new moon! hope this helps! :)

Did u use the tutorial from wikihow? We had to make sketchbooks first class and that's what we did. You have the same instructions. I wished I watched ur vid though, much easier to follow!!!

Do you guys know that random motivation to redo your whole room because you want the change the whole aesthetic of it? Yeah that’s me right now

really hurts my heart to see someone ripping a book page books are so precious i'm looking for material to make the little notebook, i'm planning to use it as a portable sketchbook

Just FYI, that no one ever mentions when making tea or coffee-stained paper. Both mediums are highly acidic. Eventually the paper will rot away. That's why archival paper is non-acidic.

My friend ripped a twenty dollar book out but it was completely readable 😃 I just use it for art now

Please make some light akademia ;w;

Good thing I have 2 books of the same thing

the only thing i learned from this was that you have a lot of patience that i don’t have- /hj

does anyone know the song in the beginning? cool vid btw! :))

Next dark academy diy video, please

¿Por qué el título está en español, si el video está en inglés? Bellas manualidades, por cierto, me encantan. Duele cuando le arrancas las páginas al libro de una noche en el museo.

8:13 😢😢😢

is the water cold wene you pour it on?

ok but if you want to not rip the book you can simply grab stained paper , press to make it straight,rewrite a page from a book to the idk and print it on the stained paper

When you dont need to age your book pages because your dads coworker gives you vintage stuff 😎

does anyone know what song is playing in the intro? i am obsessed.
