Book Binding Try


Well, sometimes you just have to do something you've not done before and this is the time!  ; )  I decided it would be fun to try a very simple book binding technique.  

I saw these wonderful digital paper patterns from WeAre3


and a video from Nik the Booksmith and got 'er dun! 
 
I included a variety of papers/cardstocks for different types of journaling: mixed media, notebook, graph, ledger, cardstock, etc.  




Material List

Digital Cardstocks:  Wild Flowers from WeAre3
Various papers and cardstock for pages
Heavy CardBoard (Recycled)
Scrap of Denim (Recycled from an oooold pair of jeans!)
Scrappy Tape 
Fabri-Tac
Liquitex Matte Gel
Heavy thread (actually reed making thread) and needle

 Sharing with these challenges:  
CRAFT:  Recycled
Stinkin' Inkers:  Recycle/Reuse
Fab 'n' Funky:  New ~  Made a NEW art journal using a NEW technique!
