Game Board Journal!

Step 11 Step 11: Finishing Journal

Finally, you'll want to press your journal while it dries. You can use a book press or you can create your own. A simple way to create a book press is to take two scrap pieces of wood slightly larger than your journal. Sandwich your journal in between these boards and clamp it all together. You want even pressure across the book, so space the clamps out as evenly as you can. Let it dry over night, then you can remove it from the press. Open the book carefully and check that the glue feels dry and none of the pages are stuck together. When it's dry, you can start filling it with new ideas and you've saved a game from the landfill.
