Notebook / Sketchbook / Diary / Journal part III ( BINDING)






This is the last part from this tutorial and it will teach you how to bind the notebook. 

Materials :  waxed thread + needle


1. Choose your back and front cover , you need to start with the back one .

2. Use your first layer of sheet and go through the first hole from inside to outside ( *** leave a small piece of thread in the inside***). 





 3. Take the back cover , go through  the first hole from outside to inside then back to the first hole of the sheet .Tie the threads  , then go through the second hole of your sheet from inside to outside.

4. Repeat step 2 and 3 until you reach the final hole . ( except the knot ) 
5.When you get here , after you went through the last cover hole, you don`t go back inside your first layer of sheet, you have to take the next layer and go through the first hole of this one ,  then through the hole number 2  from inside to outside . 


6. After you went through the second hole you  have to go behind the loop that you created first , and back into the hole number 2. Then go through the next hole ( inside to outside ) , the loop ...

7. Keep up with the step 6 until you get to the last hole .  
8. Go behind the last loop, then  through the first hole of your next layer , through the second hole from inside to outside, behind the loop that was made from binding the last layer and so on ....  until you want to stop with adding new layers. 


9. When you are done biding your last layer ( including the final loop ) , take the front cover .
*** be careful to place it right *** 
Now go through the first hole of your cover from inside to outside , then back into the hole number 5 from your last layer.After that , go back through the hole 4 from your layer ( inside - outside ) , into the hole 2  from your cover ( inside-outside ) , back into the hole 4 , then through hole 3.....  keep doing this until you finish binding the last hole of your cover and make a knot inside the layer.  



And finally your  notebook is done :)

You can be more creative and add some decorations on it  .
