Today we are going to see how to make easy japanese binding step by step. Japanese binding is a type of visible binding, where you can see the thread with which the sheets and covers are attached. It can be done with three, five, seven or nine, depending on how large the notebook is, always in an odd number. Let's go with the step by step.
Makings:
- Covers and sheets to bind.
- Rope, cord, wool, thread.
- Wool needle. (It is a larger size, so that the thread can be inserted through the hole).
- Punch.
- Scissors.
- Glue.
Process for making easy Japanese binding:
- Start by marking three dots in the margin of the lids. Hold the lids and leaves with two pliers so they don't move.
- With the punch make the three holes where it was marked. (If you can't do it all at once, you see separating the sheets and covers into parts. Then hold everything with the tweezers to start binding).
- Pass the rope through the yarn needle, Leave enough yarn so that you do not fall short when making the knot for the termination. (You know, better than not missing).
- Start going from the back through the center hole with the needle threaded.
- Then go through the first hole, from front to back.
- Pass the needle through the same hole again. Also from the front to the back. Look at the picture.
- Back back to the hole in the center and passes the needle from back to front.
- Repeat the same action. Look at the picture.
- Now pass the needle through the last hole front to back.
- And repeat again. Stretch each time so that it is secure and firm.
- Flip the notebook over and tie a double knot so that it is attached.
- Cut the ropes of the rope.
- Put glue liquid to finish.
