Step 1Gut an old book by cutting the inside page block out carefully. Try to not cut through the binding of the book, keeping it in tact.
-
Step 2Reinforce the binding with duct tape.
-
Step 3Using an Exacto knife and a metal ruler, cut a slit near the top of the binding area, going not quite all the way across. Do the same near the bottom.
-
Step 4For each signature you want to include in your book run a piece of string or embroidery thread from the top slit, around the spine of the book and out through the bottom slit.
-
Step 5Tie them in a knot on the outside of your book.
-
Step 6Use scrapbook papers, maps, wallpaper samples, book pages, etc. for the inside pages of your book.
