These are the supplies you'll need:


These are the supplies you'll need:


1. Twine or string

2. Mod Podge glue

3. A pack of paper cards (you can also cut your own paper. You'll need 25+ sheets)

4. An X-ACTO knife (or a similar tool)

5. A bone folder (not necessary, but it helps with folding and smoothing)

6. An awl

7. Sewing needles (the eye of the needle you use needs to be large enough for your twine.

8. Book board, chip board, or dense carboard (for the book covers)

9. Decorative paper to cover your book with (also get dark book cloth if you want to cover your spine in something more heavy duty)

10. A ruler



Pretty much all these supplies can be purchased at a paper supply or craft store.
