Look at you getting crafty! Here are the instructions for your very own bookbinding kit.
Thread your needle. If you have two pieces of thread, you can thread the needle with both for a two-tone look. {Optional: You can tie a knot on the end so it doesn't pull through but leave a tail at least 2" long.}
With the cover and signature, sew from the inside of the signature through the middle hole and through the middle hole of the cover.
Return the needle through one of the holes on either end of the cover and signature.
Return the needle through the middle hole of the signature and cover again.
Return the needle through the cover and signature on the opposite hole you chose from step 3.
Time to tie off! Thread the needle under the long stitch next to the center hole. Tie the two tails together in a knot.
{Optional} Grab a glue stick, scissors and an old magazine and collage the outside cover to add your own personal touch! Or bust out some paint and work up a masterpiece of your own!
Get to doodling, writing, daydreaming, planning, listing! I know—blank pages are intimidating. You got this!
