You asked and I listened! Here’s a quick little video of how to open a Starburst Book Ornament, from Mini Book to Starburst! Easy peasy!!
There are a few of these little guys left, along with some other holiday items, all on sale over in my Etsy shop! See them here.
Yesterday was my last bookbinding workshop for 2015! I’m so happy with the response these classes have received, and how eager people in learning to make their own handbound books!!With that in mind, I’m pleased to announce that there are some new workshops for 2016! I’ve kept everyone’s favourites and added a couple of new classes (and a new location!) to the roster. While you don’t have to have any prior bookbinding experience to take my classes, they are great chance to dust off your bookbinding skills and get a refresher in technique.
