I decided to teach myself to make my own journals using old board games and children's books. This technique of binding is called coptic binding.
It was a little challenging, but I'm really getting it down. The spine consists of what looks like braids...
The best part is that when you open up journals bound using this method, they lay completely flat. They are perfect for art journaling. There's nothing worse than trying to get the pages to lay down so you can work, but with this type you don't have to worry about it.
Here are a couple more I did recently...
The first is from an old card game. The second was made using a Christmas Golden book.
You may find these in my
ETSY shop soon!! Happy Tuesday!
