Materials;
10.5cm x 15cm cardboard
21cm x 15cm (to fold half - 10.5cm x 15cm)
PVA glue
Book fabrics
9.5cm x 14cm color paper
Sewing needle
Sewing thread
Steps;
1. Use paper or decorative fabrics to cover cardboard. You can smooth down one corner and make sure everything is flat without bubbles and continuing securing the other sides.
2. For the inside cover of the cardboard, place another color paper. This is a nice place to add a pop of color or something unexpected, because you see it only when you open up the book.
3. Fold the 21cm x 15cm paper into half (15cm x 10.5cm). Group 5 pieces of papers together, repeat the same process for 10 sets or any amount optional.
4. Poke a needle hole through the cardboard and the papers, then you are ready to sew.
5. Start the first signature at the bottom of the hole then out at the second hole and then to the next hole. When you hit the last hole, go back again through the previous hole on the inside. Add another signature on top and repeat the process. When you reach to the last signature, continue with the same binding process.
6. Add the cover page at the both side by gluing on the signatures. Use the book press or c-clamps to put pressure on the threaded book.
