#Book Binding Workshop

📕📚 Bookbinding 101! 📚📕 I have had a lot of people reaching out to me in my DMs asking about resources for learning to rebind books - so I figured I would start a tutorial series! Here are the basics you need to get started on your bookbinding journey! For your basic materials, you’ll need - Either book cloth or a substitute, like leather. I frequently use this vinyl faux leather for patching up couches because it is sticky as all heck and I love the end result. - You will need ribbon if you want to add a bookmark, which I loooove to do - When you’re making the text block, you’ll need headbands and endbands, as well as mull for the spine - You can use special endpapers or regular cardstock for scrapbooking - which is what I always use - And you’ll need to grab some chipboard that you will cut to size for your hard covers In terms of the tools, you will need: - PVA glue - Bone folders - Bookbinding spacers - I got these ones from a maker on Etsy, and they’re 3D printed in a few different sizes for you. - Silicone brushes Now for your cover designs - You will need vinyl or an alternative (like foil or ink). I almost always use the Cricut brand gold foil because I find it works the best for me. - If you’d like to do detailed cut-out designs like the ones I do, you will need also need a cutting machine like a Cricut. I have the maker 3, but the smaller sized machines will work fine too! There are a few other more particular items, but those are the basics, guys! This is just a teaser for a full bookbinding tutorial series I’m working on for YouTube! Please dont hesitate to reach out with any questions!

When I was in Edinburgh last weekend I also did something I‘d been meaning to try for years and attended a book binding workshop at @wheeloffateedi In the two-hour workshop you prepare the signatures for your book and then stitch them into the leather cover of your choice. When that is done you get to stencil patterns into the cover and add a little charm and string to close your journal. You have the choice of three different journal sizes, all the tools and materials are provided and you also get a big mug of tea while you’re working. I loved every minute of it. It was very meditative and relaxing and a nice mix of chatting with the others and concentrating on your work. I had the best time, went home with a gorgeous notebook and will definitely do this again in the future, either with a DIY kit (that the shop also sells) or maybe even by attending a longer seminar on bookbinding techniques somewhere (if Ou have recommendations of places that offer this, let me know). Thank you @wheeloffateedi for a wonderful morning! #bookbinding #edinburgh #bookbindingworkshop #crafting #journal #notebook #wheeloffate

📖 Bookbinding Behind The Scenes In this process, I’m putting the finishing touches on the spine of this text block. First attaching a layer of woven mesh called mull, then adding fabric endbands that will match the covers, and finally gluing a thin spine lining for additional reinforcement. These little details may not always be seen or noticed, but they make all the difference in how a book feels, functions, and lasts over time. #dearkindredspirit #bookbinder #bookbinding #bookbindingtools #makingbooks #handmadebooks #bookarts #bookbindingstudio #bookbindingworkshop #paperarts #bookartist #bookmaking #booklover #handboundbooks #bindery #bookinspiration #handmadejournals #handmadeartist #learnbookbinding #stationerydesigner #bookdesigns #bookdesigner #handmadecraft #slowcraft #bookbindingstudio

Bookbinding Hack. 🛠️ While in most instances I use an awl to pierce each of the sections for sewing, this is something I do when I have a large collection of books that are all the same size, thickness etc. Preparing the sections for sewing by lightly sawing to pierce the sections can save a lot of time. Obviously if too heavy handed this can end badly!! 🫣 #bookbinding #bookbinder
