Upcycle It! Handbound Books from Everyday Materials
Transform common recycleables into functional blank books that can be used for notes, sketches or gifting in this fun workshop! Students will learn to use a simple long-stitch binding through slots cut in chipboard boxes that will be used for their covers (see photo).
Price includes materials fee of $30 that covers all materials for binding EXCEPT the boxes used for covers. Materials fee is not refundable after class begins. NOTE: Please bring 2-3 lightweight (non-corrugated) empty boxes from food or other packaging for your covers to first class. Smaller boxes work best – eg boxes from movie-theater-size candy, pens/pencils, seasoning mixes, etc. – though cereal, pasta and tissue boxes can also usually be modified to work.
“When I took Kristin’s online flush-setting class, I thought it this would be the same fail as the three others I tried to take - but NO - it worked on the first try! My stones stayed put and looked lovely.
Kristin’s explanations, demos and drawings were so simple and understandable to follow! I’m so happy I decided to sign up! Thank you, Kristin - I can now incorporate this new technique into my work!”
