Last summer, Nate and I took a book-binding workshop together. It was a ton of fun and we both agreed we were interested in learning more about book binding. Recently, I came across Erin Zam's shop! She specializes not only in handmade books, but in DIY kits which teach you different binding methods. I picked the Long Stitch kit as a surprise gift for Nate.
The kit comes well organized and packaged in a brown envelope. It includes all the necessary paper, an instruction sheet, cutting templates and sewing materials. It does not include a bone folder or an awl. Overall, Nate was pleased with the kit and it made a great little surprise gift. I definitely recommend checking out
Erin Zam's kits if you want to dip your toes into some bookbinding.

DeleteHow exciting, I can't imagine how anxious you must be with the anticipation!! Will you let us know if it's a boy or a girl? :D
Very cool. I didn't know you could get kits like that!
ReplyDeleteI know right? I came across it entirely by accident, they're so much fun!
DeleteThis is a great idea! I sometimes get overwhelmed by the process of collecting materials to do a project, so the kit format is perfect. Thanks for the awesome gift idea Ana!
ReplyDeleteAmber, I feel like you could probably combine a kit like this with some of your cardboard projects :)
