I PICK IT.... My Best Project
Two Types of Bookbinding:
1.Hard Cover
2.Soft Cover
Materials Required
Sheets of paper (depending upon the size of the book)
Piece of cardboard
Wallpaper, contact paper, felt or cotton fabric
Paper cutter
A pair of scissors
White glue or wallpaper paste
Needle with a large eye
Twine, carpet thread, crochet thread or quilting thread.
Procedure:
For the Book
Determine the size of the book that you require. Fold the sheets midway. If you want a book of 5 1/2″ x 9″ dimensions use sheets of paper having dimensions of 11″ x 18″ as folding them midway will give you pages of the desired size. Each side of a folded sheet of paper will give four pages. Hence divide the number of pages you want to have for your book by 4. Use one sheet extra than the number that you get.
This extra sheet will serve as the first and the last page onto which the cover will be pasted. Place all the sheets on top of each other. Fold them midway. Clip all the four edges to hold the sheets in place. You can also clip the center of the fold. Beginning ½ '' from the top of the fold, start marking for holes at regular intervals.
For the Cover
Cut two cardboard pieces in the shape of the book. These pieces could be the same size or a little larger than the book's dimensions. Place the two pieces on the felt, cloth or the material you are using to cover the cardboard pieces such that there is a gap of 1/8″ to 1/4″ between them. Draw the outline of the cardboard pieces on the material with a pencil. Remove the cardboard pieces. Now cut the material one inch around the entire outside of the pencil mark.
Apply glue to the cardboard pieces and place them along the pencil mark. Apply glue to the one inch of extra material along the border of the cardboard pieces. Fold in the four corners so that the tip of the corners of the material lies on the diagonal of the cardboard piece. Now fold in the material along the sides of the cardboard. Let the cover dry. Apply glue to the outer sides of the first and the last page of the book. Place the book carefully along the center of the two cardboard pieces and smooth down. Close the book and place some weight over it.
Reasons why I pick this one as my Best Project?
- I choose Book binding as my best project, because although this project is expensive because of the materials needed and including the tools, still after I have finish my project I was totally amazed because the hard bond and the soft bond I have made is very attractive to look out. And I realized, that in order to achieve a nice work you need a lot of sacrifices. The book bond's I have made is I use it as my notebook in second semester.
