6. Mindful Bookbinding: Autumn Equinox ~ Envelopes for Hidden Treasures

Welcome to your next installment of Mindful Bookbinding. You can find all of the previous letters at this link here, as well as your tutorial showing you how to get started.

So far this year we have learnt how to make signatures and we’ve gone deep on our preferred ways of journaling into them. We’ve made our own book press out of repurposed materials and we’ve made our own book cloth and book covers😍.

We’re coming into the final quarter of the year now and so, to finish off, we will begin slowly bringing our final book together. This turn of the wheel I shall be showing you how to make envelopes to stitch into your book, to keep all of the odds and ends and magic pieces of paper, stickers, receipts or whatever found objects which can’t make it onto your final journal pages ❤️. This is ahead of our October installment where we will begin sewing everything together ✨.
