Returning to my bookbinding hobby after a couple years’ hiatus. I was inspired by the packaging for a blind box figurine I picked up recently, which I thought would make SUCH a cute notebook.
And here we are!
- Cover: cardboard packaging + cardstock purchased from a thrift store
- Endpapers: scrapbooking paper purchased at a garage sale
- Text block: reclaimed copy paper destined for the landfill
- Bookcloth spine: made from my sewing scraps
I’ve discovered that having the right tools, working slowly and methodically, and being patient are the keys to getting a passable result with a minimum of frustration.
(Not just in bookbinding, but in Life.)
