Notebook / Sketchbook / Diary / Journal part II







Now that the covers are done , it`s time to prepare the sheets and covers for biding.
What you are going to do is make some holes with a needle and a hammer ( or something to hit the needle )

1. Measurements : you have to make 5 holes, so depeding on your paper/cover size you will have to calculate the exact distance from a hole to another .

 example :


1. SHEETS : my sheets measurements are  14.8 cm length
a) i need 5 holes so i will have to square the closest number from 14.8 that divides by 6 !  ( not 5 , if you divide by 5 you will get 4 holes , etc )
b) in my case the closest number that can be divided by 6 is  12
 14,8-12= 2,8
2,8 / 2 = 1,4   -> this will be the distance from where i will measure 5 holes, from 2 to 2 cm


2 . COVERS : the cover length   16,8

16,8 - 12 = 4, 8
4,8 / 2 = 2,4  so in this case the starting distance is bigger  ( the distance between the holes is the same , 2 cm )


Now that you have marked where the holes will be , you can start to make the holes with a needle .





















Now your notebook is ready to be binded :)
