whenever I want to try something new. The projects range from beginner-friendly ideas through to more decorative bindings, and the photography is beautiful throughout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">My own mini project book is my own design, but books like <em>Bound<\/em> are wonderful for building confidence and learning different binding styles. I also go into much greater depth on instructions with images for every stage.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"688\" height=\"387\" data-attachment-id=\"22095\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/busybusylearning.com\/mini-project-book-bookbinding\/book-binding-mini-project-book-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1-scaled.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,675\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Mini Project Bookbinding Tools\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;The image displays various tools and materials used for making a mini project book, such as scissors, green thread, paper sheets, a screwdriver, binder clips, and binding boards, all arranged on a flat surface for easy access.&lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1-scaled.jpg?fit=688%2C387&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1.jpg?resize=688%2C387&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Assorted tools and materials for mini project bookbinding, including scissors, thread, paper, and binding supplies.\" class=\"wp-image-22095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1-scaled.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"688\" height=\"387\" data-attachment-id=\"22095\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/busybusylearning.com\/mini-project-book-bookbinding\/book-binding-mini-project-book-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1-scaled.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,675\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Mini Project Bookbinding Tools\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;The image displays various tools and materials used for making a mini project book, such as scissors, green thread, paper sheets, a screwdriver, binder clips, and binding boards, all arranged on a flat surface for easy access.&lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1-scaled.jpg?fit=688%2C387&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1.jpg?resize=688%2C387&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Assorted tools and materials for mini project bookbinding, including scissors, thread, paper, and binding supplies.\" class=\"wp-image-22095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/busybusylearning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Book-Binding-Mini-Project-Book-1-scaled.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Materials You\u2019ll Need<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Before you begin, gather the following supplies.

If not, a ruler and pencil will work just as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Score:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-medium-font-size\">\n<li>one line down the centre<\/li>\n<li>one line 3.5cm in from each short edge<\/li>\n<li>one line 4.5cm up from the bottom edge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">These score lines will create the folds needed for the front and back storage pockets. See images in the instruction download to help. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TIP:<\/strong> if using a scoreboard take care not to go through your card when you score \u2013 especially as you approach the edges of the paper.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4<\/h4>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Cut away the two small rectangles from the bottom left and bottom right corners. These are created by your score lines and removing them allows the pockets to fold neatly later.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5<\/h4>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Fold the card in half along the centre score line to begin forming your book cover.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6<\/h4>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Round off the top corner using scissors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Then round off both bottom corners. This softens the appearance of the finished book and makes it more comfortable to carry in a bag or pocket. You could use a corner trimmer or draw around a circular object if you want a more uniform look. I just cut by hand.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 7<\/h4>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Open the card out again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Fold both side flaps in along the score lines before folding the bottom section upwards to create the front and back pockets. It is important to do it this way around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019d prefer a simpler notebook without pockets, you can skip Steps 3\u20137 and simply use a folded piece of card as your cover instead.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 8<\/h4>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll now need to make the sewing holes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I prefer using an awl with a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzlink.to\/az0RKrBJvNRvr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">bookbinding cradle <\/a><\/strong>as I find it both easier and safer, but an awl and cutting mat work perfectly well too.

This will allow you to make a simple page marker from the waxed thread.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 11<\/h4>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t have a bookbinding cradle, simply mark hole positions about 1cm apart down the centre fold. If you don\u2019t have a ruler use a finger width as a guide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Using the awl at approximately a 45\u00b0 angle, carefully pierce through both the paper and cover making sure there is a cutting mat underneath. Work slowly and always keep your fingers safely out of the way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Depending upon the depth of your book you may be able to use a drawing pin to make your holes. If using this method protect your surface and put a blog of plasticine or blue tack in a large ball to put underneath your book to push the pin into.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 12<\/h4>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Cut a length of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzlink.to\/az0gnvvcNifBq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">waxed thread <\/a><\/strong>approximately five times the height of your booklet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Thread your tapestry needle but don\u2019t tie a knot yet \u2013 you\u2019ll do that shortly once you\u2019ve begun stitching.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t have waxed thread you can drag a piece of yarn or embroidery floss through a waxed candle to wax your thread.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 13<\/h4>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Before you begin stitching, it helps to understand the terminology used throughout the binding process.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-medium-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Inside<\/strong> refers to the inside pages of the booklet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Outside<\/strong> refers to the spine.<\/li>\n<li>Hole numbering starts with Hole 1 at the <strong>bottom <\/strong>of the booklet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A thimble can also make pushing the needle through multiple layers much easier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TIP:<\/strong> push the needle through as far as it will go then place the booklet on a flat surface.

Do check the inside of the mini project book after each stitch. You can easily use your needle to tighten up each stitch working from earlier stitches through to your last stitch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cover won\u2019t lie flat<\/strong><br \/>Press the finished book beneath a stack of heavy books overnight.
