Book 350-351 - Six Pack Series - Fourth Inning - Japanese Stab Bindings

More beer! More beer! More... oops, sorry, I got carried away for a minute.

But yeah, here are a couple more six-pack beauties.The Corona 6-pack is a little ordinary because the graphics aren't that great. But I really like the Fat Tire book.

In both of these blank books, I simply cut off the two large sides of the carton, and lined them with a very strong card stock. I creased the fold line for the front cover. I cut text paper pages to size and stacked the up. Clamped them between the front and back covers, poked holes through the whole sandwich.

I can make these Japanese Stab Bindings all day long and twice on Sunday. It's about the easiest sewn binding there is. And it always makes a nice book.

  2. Love the fat tire too! Wonder what the beer tastes like? I buy a lot of different rootbeers. Those graphics are sweet too. Wished I saved more than bottle caps.

  3. Wow. I totally love your blog. I've been bookbinding since August or September. AND. LOVING. IT. Your blog is inspiring. At least once, I've had an idea for a new binding, only to find you'd got to it first! :)
    I, too, will be sad when you reach the end of your year!
