A Beautiful Mess: SCRAPBOOK
I always stumble upon beautiful handkerchiefs at antique malls, but with no practical use for them I usually pass them by. But today I will be sharing how to turn those pretty hankies into a photo-a-day journal. This is a great project to commemorate the last of your summer days! You'll Need: Vintage handkerchief, sewing machine, book pages or other paper, embroidery thread, letter stickers, Instant photos or other printed photographs. 1. Now fill up your pages with a photo-a-day project. I decided to keep my book simple and date each photo with a White Dymo pen underneath each photo.

ENCUADERNACION BELGA
En la década de 1980 Anne Goy desarrolló este sistema de encuadernación, para los hispanos se llama encuadernación belga y para el resto “secret belgian binding” con la idea de que el libro se abriera completamente partiendo del aspecto de la encuadernación japonesa. Su idea la mostró a pocas personas pero las suficientes para que esta encuadernación se fuera popularizando, Hedi Kyle y Emily Martin fueron grandes impulsores de este método. Esta encuadernación de fácil ejecución se construye partiendo de unos cuadernillos sobre los que se tomas medidas, y con ellas se confeccionan las tapas y el lomo; las tapas y lomo se cosen entre sí de modo que nos sirva el conjunto (tapas y lomo) como soporte para el cosido posterior de los cuadernillos. Comenzamos formando 10 cuadernillos con cuatro bifolios cada uno. Tomamos las medidas, en este caso son de 20 por 12 cm Si tenemos un micrómetro mediremos el espesor de cada cuadernillo, en este trabajo el espesor del cuadernillo es de 1,15 mm. 0,6 mm
Tacket binding - CaiLun.info - Artist Books Paper & Bookbinding Blog - Cai Lun - Dennis Yuen
I have always loved tacket binding, because its sasuage-like packing on the spine is so cute. I have just finished one for my co-worker's boyfriend, Todd, and I think I might have perfected my tacket binding skill so it's about time to share it as much as possible. I have been devising my own tacket binding method, as I haven't actually seen one physically to deconstruct and examine its construction. My method may or may not be the same as the conventional one, but so far, it works. Pierce 4 holes for every single tacket pattern. Each section is stitched individually with 1 single thread. Pull the thread out from A2 to the outside and you're ready to create the tacket pattern on the top "backbone". Pull the thread out from B2 to the outside to beging packing the lower pattern. A few tips on wrapping: At the end I attached a bright red ribbon to finish the book, however, it didn't work for me so I decided against it and switched to another one, which I will post next.
How to Make a Simple Bow
These little bows are so simple and fun-- I make them all the time. They are so versatile-- you can wear them as shoe clips, hair clips, broaches, whatever you want! I've also attached them to headbands. (Photo from last year when I was obsessively watching Mad Men and attempting the bee hive hairdo. Looks a bit like Marge Simpson if you ask me. ;) ) How to Make Simple Bows: Step 1: First you need to cut a rectangle of fabric with a little sliver of fabric to set off to the side. Step 2: Next you need to fold the fabric onto itself, lengthwise. Step 3: Now fold the fabric in the other way to to middle. Step 4: Stitch those bad boys together. Step 5: With a curling iron, straightener, or iron, press the sides of the little sliver of fabric together. Step 6: All done!
