Bookbinding Workshop!

I'm really excited about next month's DIY night activity!! I love bookbinding, and look forward to spreading the bookbinding bug.

Here's the plan:

  • Quick & Easy Pamphlet bind (y'all will make and take a book home with you)
  • Not quite as quick, but still easy Pamphlet bind variation (I'll make a handout available for easy reference)



Here's what you need to bring:

  • Sewing needle with a large eye–largest you can find
  • 1/4" Ribbon, waxed linen thread, or non-stretchy string
  • Decorative paper (scrapbooking paper, wallpaper, construction paper, even leather will do*)
  • Text paper (8.5x11 paper will be sufficient)
  • Awl (if you have one, bring it. If you don't, don't worry we'll just share)
  • Bonefolder (again, if you have one)
  • Scissors, rotary cutter/mat, paper cutter. If you have one please bring one!!!

*If you don't have paper, or don't want to stress about bringing supplies, bring $2 and I'll have supplies ready for you.
