I’ve had this book sitting on my bulging craft book shelves for a while. For some reason I’ve never made anything from it. Well this week that all changes.
As usual, I used supplies I already had to hand to make this book. I used sketchbook paper for the cover (ideally the cover should be a slightly heavier paper like watercolour but I’m making do) and beautiful pages from old Toast catalogues for the decoration and the facing pages. Bright red thread binds it all together.
The book has two sections and a ‘W’ fold and was very very easy to make. I have a feeling I will make lots more of these in all shapes and sizes.
Have you tried book binding – what styles have you tried?

Oh, please do be careful. Book binding can be very habit forming!! Once you really get going, you will never be able to look at commercial notebooks or journals the same ever again :)
Hi Elizabeth, When I started reading your comment I thought it was going to be a dire warning about stabbing myself with a needle – ha ha! I can definitely see how it can be habit forming :)

I will photocopy the instructions for you :) Or I’ll make them if you like – either way! :D
