Binding the book with your own hands

Books are an integral part of our life. But, unfortunately, sometimes it is difficult to get the right one (either it is very expensive, or it is not on sale). In such cases, the Internet comes to the rescue, in which almost any edition can be found. But, so that the printed sheets are not confused and do not crumble, it is better to make from them a real hard-bound book.

In this article, we will tell you how to twist the book with your own hands without special equipment.

Master-class: book binding by hands

It will take:

• printed sheets;
• dense cardboard;
• the cloth;
• self-adhesive tape;
• paper: red, brown and patterned;
• adhesive PVA and super-glue;
• paper cutter;
• vice.

Progress:

1. The printed sheets are stacked in a neat foot and cut off the excess with a cutter.
2. Cut out rectangles from red paper, the same size as the sheets. These are the endpapers. Clamp them together with the sheets in the vice and glue the rectangle on top. We give a good dry.
3. We begin to make the cover itself. Cut out of a thick cardboard 2 rectangles in size, slightly more paper sheets, and 1 - a width, slightly less than the thickness of the stack.
4. We put a small between large rectangles and glue them together with a self-adhesive tape or cloth. Cut off the excess, leaving only the tips of a width of 1 - 1.5 cm.
5. The remaining space of the outer side of the cardboard is sealed with brown paper, cutting off the triangles at the corners and making allowances of 1.5 cm. At the cut points, we glue the red self-adhesive tape, also leaving the allowances.
6. Under the ruler, we cut the corners and close them from the inside. We stick all the remaining allowances.
7. We glue the cover to the stack of sheets in place of the fold.
8. When all is well seized, glue to the cover and red paper folded in half a sheet. He will hide all the allowances and reliably connect parts of the book.
9. Will only stick to the cover of the illustration, write a title and the book is ready.

Knowing how to make a book binding, you can make to yourself and your loved ones wonderful notebooks. And to make the book even more convenient, make to it a bookmark from ribbons .
