The steps to binding a simple, hand made book:
Some more of the fun I’ve been having over on instagram as part of my local Etsy team’s February challenge! As the caption says, it’s a video of a very basic bookbinding technique, one I teach in all my workshops, to get everyone familiar with the process of making a book from scratch.
