Another upcycled book journal today, but this time it's a cool vintage textbook. The cover just says "Physics." Since I was terrible in Physics in high school, I nearly passed this one up (I was more of a biology kind of girl). But I love the vintage look of it.
The usual routine: I sliced off the spine and bound the cut edges with variegated green washi tape. I glued some mottled blue paper inside the covers for end papers and used a cool vintage-look graph paper for the fly leaves. I covered the folded spine edge of every other signature of white text paper with more of the green washi tape to create a pattern on the exposed spine.
The binding is done with a single-needle coptic stitch with medium brown waxed thread.
This feels comfortable in the hand. It's a nice size for an everyday journal.
Perfect gift for your favorite nerdy folk!! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny. I just made a journal for the new year using a Physics book. I also liked the handy size of mine. Love seeing all your books!
