Hi Yvie. You bring up a great point. What you would do is while everything is assembled, you would poke three holes down the middle (evenly spaced) where the fold of the paper is. Then using your needle and thread, so through the first hole from the inside, tie a knot at the end and then take your thread through the second hole and then the third. Then take your thread from the third hole back up to the first, tie it off, cut off the excess, and you are done. If I have some extra time in the coming weeks, I will create a real tutorial (fingers crossed). But until then, I hope this helps.

Hi!
Love this little tutorial, however, you skip a step for us newbies. You say to thread the notebook as if you were binding a book. What on earth does that mean?! I tried googling book binding techniques and they all seem alot mor complicated than how your finished picture looks. Could you post a mini tutorial of how you bind this?

Thanks
Yvie

Sue, I purchased the cards with the letterpress design already on them.

Did you get the pattern on those pages by dry embossing over the crocheted doilies? Or did you buy the cards from that company with the embossing on them? If so, what are the doilies in the pictures used for?

I was reading this article and find it very informative. I admired the writer’s effort as he beautifully selects the most appropriate words for his post. The choice of his words has made this article unique and interesting. While reading this article I was feeling that I can completely understand the theme of this article and writer has written exclusively for me or for my school of thought.

Little books, yes, how I love them. Wish I had a pile of letterpressed cards like those beautiful ones to play with… Thanks for the tutorial!
