    I have learned how to bind books! In the printing school, my profession was called Artistic finishing bookbinder :) It was interesting to observe the techniques of making a miniature book. The only criticism is that the edges of the book covers are not so big. Thanks for the video :)

    Really cute idea. I think I’ll use fabric for the cover though. It can take more abuse, and less likely to tear or show wrinkles.

  • @BelindaShort
    @BelindaShort 3 роки тому +15

    Really lovely, though I will say that I'd refrain from using school glue to attach your final papers, because it is not waterproof and if you get that paper wet with watercolor you may end up releasing the adhesive.
    I'd use regular PVA or yes paste

    Mostly a very informative and enjoyable tutorial that I can’t wait to do for my own project. I did find the fur covering on your workspace a bit disconcerting and distracting as the video progressed. It made no sense, like watching somebody who is making a beautiful dessert on a dirt floor - odd, inappropriate work surface, and confusing. In the end I’m glad you didn’t smear glue on the fur, inadvertently see it to the binding, or had any other mishap with it. Thank you for the otherwise excellent tutorial!

    @donnacarraway9182 5 місяців тому

    Thank you! I thought that you did an excellent job of showing the stitching on the spine! Very clear! The only question I have is if you don’t lay the cover and first or last page out flat when you glue on the final inside cover papers will you be able to fully open the book? Once, I didn’t open them fully and it seems like I had trouble opening. You can also glue the cover paper only to the front/back cover and not to the inside pages at all and that works well. I really love little books! They are so cute! Thank you for sharing such a great way to sew the pages together!!😊😊

    Die Musik ist irgendwann wirklich nervig, aber es ist ein hübsches kleines Buch. Ich frage mich aber, warum bastelst du auf ein Fell ?? Das scheint mir sehr ungeeignet zu sein und wenn da mal Kleber drauf kommt kann man es doch auch nicht mehr säubern😬🙁 mir wäre das echt lästig.
    Welches Papier nimmst du für die innenblätter? Das schaut echt gut aus.
