I’ve loved making hand-made books for years, whether it’s decorating the cover or building one from scratch.
I just found this fantastic site with step-by-step instructions for making a handmade book using Coptic binding, a technique that’s been around for almost 2000 years!
Like I needed another project :-)

I’ve been looking for some good coptic binding instructions for a long time. THANKS!!!
Funny how things come in groupings–I’ve just done two or three book-binding style projects and posts in the past week or so–and here you are with a book-binding treat for me. It must be my lucky day!!!
