Make an expandable book.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger      0 comments      link this post     


Get the instructions and project sheet for making a mini-expandable scrapbook over on the Lone Prairie Stuff blog. This is an easy project perfect for gifts or beginning bookmakers. It's also a great way for writers and artists to think of their writing or book art in a non-linear fashion, since this book allows you to rearrange pages.

This project sheet gives you the template for making a tab-slot book. I've used this book many times with young children in a classroom setting. This book requires no sewing or glue.

Bookmaking: Pamphlet stitch book.

One of the simplest stitches you can use to assemble a basic book, the pamphlet stitch is a great place to start your book making career. By modifying the stitch or using it repeatedly, you can create a large journal or book with this simple stitch.

Ideas for hand-made books.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger      0 comments      link this post     


Making a book seems like a daunting project, but it doesn't have to be. This project sheet gives you a number of examples of very simple books that can even be made by young children. I've used some of these book projects while teaching in elementary school workshops, and most students not only find it easy but have a blast making their own book.
