12/11/2021

0 Comments

 
Create your own sketchbook or journal with a Japanese side-sewn binding! Step-by-step instructions are below, but we recommend logging into CreativeBug with your library card number to watch their Japanese Side Sewn Sketchbook, or Kids Japanese Side Sewn Book tutorials. These videos will be especially helpful when it comes to threading your binding!

Materials Included in your Kit
  • 10 sheets of blank paper, 8.5 x 5.5”
  • 2 sheets of cover paper, 8.5 x 5.5”
  • 2 clothespins
  • Embroidery floss
  • Embroidery needle
  • Awl/bone folding tool
  • Bookbinding pattern​​

​Materials From Home
  • Scissors
  • Cutting matt, or another surface you don’t mind scuffing up
  • Optional: hole punch
Instructions

  1.  Stack your book together, with your blank paper sandwiched between your two cover papers. Once you have everything lined up and looking neat, use the clothespins to keep everything in place.

2. Cut out the 4-/hole/ Yotsume toji bookbinding pattern. Use the awl to poke holes through the dots on the pattern.
​

3. Place your bookbinding pattern on top of your front cover, lining up the edge of your template with the edge of your cover. Using a cutting matt, poke holes as indicated on the pattern through all your layers of paper. Making this project with younger kids? Use a hole punch to create holes for the binding instead of the awl - just stick to the pattern!

​4. Thread your needle with the provided string. Thread your string through the third hole from the top, leaving a 3” tail between the pages. Heading towards the top of the book, weave your needle and thread through each hole. Remember to go around the side edge of the book, and around the top and bottom edges as well, while having threaded between each adjacent hole, front and back. We recommend watching the video tutorials to see how this works - it’s not as hard as it sounds! You can skip ahead to this section by clicking “Binding” in the chapters section.

5. If bound correctly, your thread will end near the tail we started with. Tie this together with a small amount of slack and trim the ends to about half an inch. Tuck the small tail ends deeper into the binding, and your Japanese Side-Sewn Book is ready for sketching or writing!

Encuadernación Japonesa con cosido a los lados
Proyecto de Arte para llevar a casa Niños y Adolescente


¡Crea tu propio cuaderno de bocetos o tu diario con una encuadernación japonesa con cosido a los lados! Las instrucciones paso a paso se encuentran a continuación, pero le recomendamos iniciar sesión en CreativeBug usando el número de su tarjeta de la biblioteca, donde encontrará tutoriales cómo:                                   Japanese Side Sewn Sketchbook 

Kids Japanese Side Sewn Book
​
¡Estos videos serán especialmente útiles cuando se trata de enhebrar su encuadernación!

Materiales incluidos en su kit
10 hojas de papel en blanco, 8.5 x 5.5 ”
​2 hojas de papel de portada, 8.5 x 5.5 ”
2 ganchos de ropa
Hilo de bordado
Aguja para bordar
Punzón

Materiales de casa
Tijeras
Cualquier superficie que sirva como base para cortar  (sufrirá cortes en su superficie)
Opcional: perforadora
Patrón de encuadernación para los agujeros.

Instrucciones
1. Apile las hojas de  papel en blanco y coloque los dos papeles de portada al comienzo y al final. Una vez que tenga todo alineado y luciendo ordenado, use los ganchos para  ropa para mantener todo en su lugar.

2. Recorte el patrón de encuadernación de 4 agujeros / Yotsume toji. Utilice el punzón para hacer agujeros a través de los puntos en el patrón.

3. Coloque su patrón de encuadernación en la parte superior de su portada, alineando el borde de su plantilla con el borde de su portada. Utilice la superficie que sirva como base para cortar y haga agujeros como se indica en el patrón a través de todas las capas de papel. ¿Estás haciendo este proyecto con niños más pequeños? Use una perforadora para crear agujeros para la unión en lugar del punzón, ¡solo manténgase en el patrón!
4. Enhebre su aguja con el hilo provisto. Pase su hilo a través del tercer agujero desde la parte superior, dejando una cola de 3 ”entre las páginas. Dirigiéndose hacia la parte superior del libro, entreteje la aguja y el hilo a través de cada agujero. Recuerde rodear el borde lateral del libro y también los bordes superior e inferior, mientras ha pasado entre cada orificio adyacente, por delante y por detrás. Recomendamos ver los tutoriales en vídeo para ver cómo funciona. Puede pasar a esta sección haciendo clic en "Encuadernación" en la sección de capítulos.

5. Si se encuaderna correctamente, su hilo terminará cerca de la cola con la que comenzamos. Ate esto junto con una pequeña cantidad de holgura y recorte los extremos a aproximadamente media pulgada. Introduzca los extremos pequeños dentro del encuadernado, ¡y tu libro japonés cosido a los lados estará listo para dibujar o escribir!
