Bookmaking: Nylon cable binding
by Lone R
This is a quick and easy logbook to make.
Supplies You'll Need
- index cards or cardstock or heavy paper
- box cutter
- scissors
- nylon cable
- hole punch
Directions (Click on the pictures below for a larger image)
Step 1: |
Cut cardstock to size. |
|
Step 2: |
Take about 3 sheets and punch a hole near one of the corners. I'm using a 1/8" hole punch. |
|
Step 3: |
Use one of the punched sheets as a template to punch a hole in the remaining pieces of paper/cardstock. |
|
Step 3a: |
Once all of the sheets have been punched... |
|
Step 4: |
Thread a small nylon cable through the hole. |
|
Step 5: |
Feed the tail end of the nylon cable into the head end. Leave the loop loose enough for stampers to access each sheet. |
|
Step 6: |
Cut off the excess cable. |
|
Step 7: |
You're done. Now you can write 'logbook' on the cover and stamp the cover with your letterbox's stamp image. |
