Super Simple Book Binding

Intro: Super Simple Book Binding

How to bind a book....quite simply

STEP 1:

Get your materials together
You will need
~the papers you are intending to bind
~cardboard or other book cover material cut ti size of pages (perhaps even a bit larger)
~Glue (liquid elmers is best)
~ Scissors

STEP 2:

Make sure paper is even and perfectly arranged before applying glue to side facing the binding

STEP 3:

Cut cardboard so binding creases are to size (they fit the amount of paper)

STEP 4:

glue in the paper- press hard for a few minutes

STEP 5: Finished Result

The finished result should be clean and neat, and more importantly, should stay in tact

This is a great project. I plan on helping my niece to make a book using this method.

PS. I think I'll use some colored duct tape to strengthen the fold and she'll love adding her favorite color.

Slow down and use a ruler and knife perhaps? This will give it crisp edges, also thin plywood or fibre-board would be better than cardboard.
