Book
Binding Basics Or
Leather Sewing
Whether youre looking for a
new way to bind your collection of scrapbooks,
or are creating your own journal or personal
appointment books, youll want to know about
book binding that you can do yourself. Here are
a few tips and suggestions for making sure that
your books look professional and
presentableeven if youre binding them at
home.
One of the best and most
stylish ways to bind your books is to use
mechanical binding. Mechanical binding provides
a sleek, modern line for your books, and
prevents bulking no matter how many pages you
have. Mechanical binding can also accommodate
books that have several sections or tabs.
For smaller books, or books
with thinner paper for pages, you may want to
try plastic combs or spirals. This way, you can
still create a new look for your scrapbooks,
and make allowances for new pages with having
to use paperclips or staplers. Plastic spirals
will also add more security to the pages when
the book is opened, so you wont have to worry
about chasing missing pages every time you look
through your favorite scrapbook or journal.
Basic stitching techniques
for book binding include the Kettle Stitch,
which is the basic link stitch you will use to
connect your pages. You should also become
familiar with how to stitch in between and
within the cords of the book cover or pages, as
well as sewing split leather or double cords
together. Tools that youll need for book
binding include a drill (depending on what
material youll want to use for the front and
back covers of your book), tapestry needles, a
utility knife, a pencil, and a clean, flat
surface to work on.
Before you start the book
binding process, it may be a good idea to learn
the basics about book binding from a few
professionals, so that youll know what to do at
home. Printing companies and bookstores often
have tips and pointers for those who want to
bind their own books at home, and youll also be
able to learn which materials and techniques
work best for the style of book binding you
want to use on your books. With a little
practice, you can give your books an authentic
feel, with Renaissance and Gothic styles, and
you can even find instructions and visual aids
online that will help.
Once you get the hang of
book binding, youll want to create a number of
different books for your personal or home
office use, and you can even make photo albums
to store family memories. Book binding is a
great way to make sure that your most prized
materials are preserved in a way that you would
be proud of. You may even want to have your
books embossed, so that you can label them in
an appealing way. Many of the supplies that
youll need can be found at your local craft
store, or even at certain thrift or consignment
stores in your area.
