Size closed: 4.25"w x 6"h x 1"thk
Since I found her name again… Ali Manning (vintagepagedesigns.com) - July 16/24 post. Images on this page (https://www.handmadebookclub.com/) and realized mine is differently made than hers… I decided to make another one... BIG GRIN.
I cut Staples copy paper to 8.5 x 6" and folded in half. Each signature has 8 of these folded pages and 1 of my geli prints, and there are 5 signatures.
I pierced 14 holes either 1/2" or 1/4 for the ribbons.
I added a 1"w by 6"h piece of the same geli print paper to each of the geli print pages on the inside to reinforce the spine area. I bound each signature with a light blue 4ply waxed linen thread. Then threaded the ribbons under the binding thread with a large holed needle, tying the ends with a double knot.
I think I prefer my 1st booklet more. It seems more sturdy...
