Travel Themed Book Binding Tutorial

Today, I'm going to show you how to do book binding. I don't have step by step pictures of it, but I can show you the video that I learned it from. The video instruction is very simple, easy, and guides you step by step.

Material  you will need (all of book binding material I bought from Paper Source):
Book Cloth (I choose Oyster color)
Text Block Kit (already included book board and text block book, I chose Graph for drawing)
PVA glue
Decorative paper
Bone Folder
Craft Knife

Here's the video that shows simple instruction on how to do it (you must choose your video player setting, Windows player or Quicktime):

Here's my final product:

Material details:
Text Block Kit // Decorative paper // Book Cloth

I really have a great time making this. You can also make photo albums yourself. Paper Source has sets of Photo journal block kits as well as Hollanders Book Binding company.

Serendipity (ser·en·dip·i·ty (sĕrˌən-dĭpˈĭ-tē) )

RAINING UMBRELLA EXERCISE

One of the exercises from Raining Umbrellas Course is to draw, design or photograph my perspective of the word 'serendipity'.

Since I was a little I always enjoy making things out of paper. Becoming a graphic designer makes me become so passionate about printing work, I found that I can do so much to impress myself and others with just using a single sheet of paper. So, my perspective on serendipity is my discoveries of paper, and how it always fascinate me with the things I can do with it.

Live, Love and Be Creative! :)
