Love the idea of giving something handmade? So do I, and that’s
why I’m absolutely fascinated with How to Make Handmade Books. From
basic questions like “What is a book?” to details about paper
grain and mitering corners, How to Make Handmade Books tells you all you
need to know as a beginner, but is also perfect inspiration for an experienced
bookbinder. You’ll find simple, easy-to-understand instructions
for 15 different binding methods, from a vintage-look French Stitch to
a seashore-inspired Flutter Book. With detailed instructions and fabulous
tips, it’s no wonder How to Make Handmade Books received the Craftrends
2005 Award of Excellence in the Craft Book category!
How to Make Handmade
Books is available for $14.99 through the Paper Wishes catalog.
—Review by Angie Felix
I love Angie Pedersen’s books—and I’m not the only
one! Now, from the author of The Book of Me and Growing Up Me is a brand-new
book that I adore: The Book of Us. If you’re interested in scrapbooking
relationships (and isn’t scrapbooking all about relationships?)
then you’ll love Angie’s unique approach to scrapbooking your
most meaningful relationships—with friends, family, coworkers and
communities. I love how Angie’s book includes journaling prompts,
plus ideas for taking photos and saving memorabilia to really illustrate
those relationships. Packed with over 140 project samples designed by
Angie and other scrapbookers, I guarantee you’ll be inspired!
The Book of Us is available at One
Scrappy Site for $22.99.
