Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Artisan Crafts

Download, unzip, and double click the file labeled "index.htm" to view the tutorial!

Quick note: petty much everything in this tutorial uses technical terms, since I am not and probably never will be a professional book-binder and don't know the real terms for most things myself.

This tutorial includes:
- a tool list
- what to plan for
- advice for choosing materials
- all about soft covers (pros, cons, how to make them)
- all about hard covers (pros, cons, how to make them)
- FIVE binding methods
- and even more!

I hope you find this helpful

This file will be continually updated as I get better/new photos to add, or learn better ways to do things.

Thank you for the DD- I hope everybody finds this useful! As a quick note, I cannot possibly thank everybody who commented and fav'd individually, so I'll say it here- thank you all!

Thank you, thank you, thank you

I have wanted to try bookbinding for a while, but had no idea where to begin. You are a life-saver!!!

I've always been interested in book binding and this seems a really simple explanation on how to do it. Thanks for the guide!

I am just now embarking on the great adventure of binding a book (for a dear friend of mine) and I found the information you offered REALLY interesting and potentially helpful. Thank you for your awesomeness.
