Hankering for Yarn

Handbound handmade Books, Notebooks, Journals or Scrapbooks

by Noreen on April 12th, 2007

Over the last few weeks, I have designed and made a heap of handmade, handbound notebooks, books, journals or scrapbooks. They are a fun way to reclaim, re-use and recycle paper that has already been used on one side.

I was asked to put together all the links for the entries about the handmade, handbound earth friendly books.

Here goes:

It all began with:

The first posting: How to make a book

2: A note about the ends of the binding cords:

The beads and charms on the cord

#3: A closer look at how you do the actual binding: binding

4: you can make different sizes of handmade books: Sizes

5: The previous books went smaller, this one is larger, and has a crocheted flat wire doll on it: Wire doll

6: another large book with a flat doll crocheted from handspun tissue paper: Tissue flat doll

7: Another larger sized book with a freeform flat crocheted doll: Dancing Alligator

8: A handspun, handwoven book: Handspun book

9: A book I made a long time ago: Querencia

10: The first crocheted book: Crochet book

11: And the instructions on how to make the Hairpin Lace loom Doll

12: The Second Crocheted Book:

13: The first knitted book: Knitted on needles

14: The second knitted book: Knitted on a round loom

And there you have it, an armload of handmade, handbound one of a kind notebooks, books or journals……… I could keep going with these forever, but I have something else that I am working on that I am looking forward to sharing.

hugs all round,

Noreen
