I’ve been researching and prepping for a couple bookbinding projects for… over a year now, but depression has been a bitch and money was tight so it took forever to pick up the supplies I needed. But I finally made my first prototype! And I’m definitely glad this was a practice book and not something I actually care about, because mistakes were definitely made, but for a first try I’m really happy with how it turned out!
(No, these are not the best photos ever.)
I used a binding technique called Secret Belgian binding, which is why the thread wraps around the cover/spine like that. It also does a nifty trick where, when you open it, the cover will flip all the way around to the back!
I keep looking over at it and going “Look at my little book!!!” :D
