Japanese stab binding on upcycled paper

Got these batch of blue paper cardboards some time ago.
And found these computer paper in a clean recycled bin.
So here i run a yellow star binding again.
My ultimate aim in bookbinding: to reuse whatever available resources and give paper a second life.

Mini workshop for kids

It came as a an unexpected mini workshop for a group of 11 yrs old.
We did japanese stab binding (chevron pattern) on hard cover.
Combination of japanese paper, indian paper and local gift wrapper as the front cover.
Phoebe fine tuned many steps in sewing and stitching.
It took nearly 3 hours to complete but when you see tired and happy faces that beamed with contentment, everything has turned out to be worthwhile.
See you next time, kiddo!

Star japanese stab binding

Getting prepared to coach a group of kiddos on hard cover japanese stab binding.
Chosen the star shape and punch holes on hard cardboards.
Get my kiddo as the guinea pig to sew from the pattern.

Half way done on japanese paper as the cover.
