“Book bag” workshop

Join us via zoom to take some things you probably already have at home, some printer paper, thread and a gift bag, and turn them into this cute little book complete with handles! We will use a few simple tools to create this book, bound with this long stitch style binding, complete with a button. Its a great way to use that gift bag from a vacation that you’ve been saving, and the finished book is perfect to give as a gift or keepsake, or keep it for yourself, the handles make it convenient to carry anywhere!

You don’t need any previous experience, and we will send you a full list of materials when you sign up. The zoom recording will be available after the workshop with lifetime access.
