ometimes, when thinking about what to offer to someone, I just try to do my own thing. This way, not only I'll give something personal, but it gives me the opportunity to experiment new things and develop skills. This one is a notebook I made using the japanese bookbinding technique.

It is actually very simple and cheap to create this kind of notebook. There are several tutorials among the internet, yet I'll try to give some shallow explanation on the materials. First, you'll need the front and back covers (I used a thicker sheet to achieve more durability), paper sheets, waxed thread, needle, screw punch (to cut the holes for the thread). Once you have this, you just have to follow the sewing instructions, and then you're left with a personal handmade notebook.

Sadly I didn't photograph the process, yet here you have the finished notebook (and the birthday package).
