Complete Bookbinding kit for creating your own DIY Hardcover Journal or Sketchbook, Gift for Creative
I have been teaching bookbinding for many years and have seen how intimidated people feel when comes to bind their own books. With this kit, you can enjoy the process and learn the basics of bookbinding, stress-free and easily, with amazing results. The written instructions will guide you through every step of the procedure and the accompanying video will provide all the visual aid you need to make your first hardcover book. Although you will learn how to measure and cut every component - a knowledge necessary for your next books - I have already done it for you in this kit. I hope that you will have a great time making your first hardcover book and learn the how-to for your next adventures in bookbinding!

This listing is for a complete bookbinding kit. When you buy this, you will make your own professional book in no time! The kit contains full instructions for binding your own book, for yourself or for a gift.

๐ก Full Case Binding, is the traditional way to produce a hard backed book. The pages are sewn together in sections and attached to the inside of a case with end papers which are tipped on to the book block and then glued into the case. Case binding produces a hardback book which is robust and will last a lifetime.
