Not everything is so difficult...!

I am refering to bookmaking! There are some types of books that requires a lot of work.. BUT! There are also bookd that you can do at home, I will post some process of a simple book that you can do with simple materials at home!

This type of japanese sewing is simple, but you need to to do the holes for sewing in very equal spaces, so you will need the perfect match. But it's simple

1. You need to cut 4 pieces of cardboard, two of them thin, and other bigger, you can do it a square form or more rectangular, the distance between the two pieces is about 5 mm or more, to let the book open well.

 But I think there are more geometric forms that you can apply, just search it! As you can see, I have cutted a chinese word, "Love", it's only for beauty)) 

Before doing holes for sewing, you need to adjust your papers just like in the photo, and put a little bit of glue, just to make that the pages static, then you need to use an electronic drill, to make the holes, or you can perforate it manually, just ask for a tool in your proper specific storage.

OK, then you need to put your gluded sheets and the cartons together and do pair number of holes, it depend of the size of the book you want to do, and the distance between the holes can be varied, but always a pair number!!! 4, 8, 10....

 Then you need to sew it, it's very simple and fast,

Ok, with a little bit of practice and with those amazing manuals (not mines..) you can do it by yourself! 

You can use a lot of different types of material, fabrics, papers, you can use your old fabrics that you wanna trow away to do the cover. I'll show it in the other post soon! 

Enjoy it!!
