Binder Ideas and Links
This is part three of the ‘Binder Series‘ –
Previous posts: The Bee Planner and The Repurposed Book Binder
Here are a few people and notebooks I’ve been inspired by in my Binder research!
Bastiano
One of my favorite book makers is Bastiano – if you want to see amazing stitch, collage and book art go here.
NYX Creations
NYX has put together a REALLY cool binder tutorial using binder rings, cardboard and collage.
Remains of the Day
I recently signed up for Remains of the Day by Mary Ann Moss, a ‘Shabby Journal of Scraps’ online tutorial site.
Mary Ann’s video tutorials focus a lot on laying out different fabrics, book binding and creating paper pockets and all sorts of wonderful pages and collage techniques to fill books with. Check out all her lovely journal pages on flickr here.
I made this roll-up pencil pouch a while ago and had really been wanting to use the sewing/collage technique again. Super inspired I set out to make a Binder to match using the slip-cover method explained in Remains of the Day for the notebook cover.
Hello, I'm Amanda Hawkins. Ahhh-Design is where I post art, projects, diy planner templates, tutorials and more.
i love this, Amanda. it turned out great! i wish i could sew…
THanks so much… You CAN sew, just try! :)
What beautiful journals and binders… thanks for sharing!
Of course!! :)
Your binder is beautiful! As always. The funny thing: A week or two ago I phantasized about a fabric cover for my planner – made by you. I like this grey and egg white fabric you always use. Is it linen?
I am looking forward to more posts about binder covers. Great job so far.
Maria.
P.S. I am going to have a webside soon and I will use your wordpress theme for that. It’s great! (Even though 2 weeks ago I didn’t know what a wb theme is.) Thanks for that! Take a look: http://www.paperboatcaptain.de
Maria, thank you! The gray fabric is linen. The egg white is actually just the really cheap stuff that you can find with quilting fabrics – I think it’s used for backing? I’m not totally sure what it’s called, great for layering though. Only like $2 a yard!
Congrats on the new site, look forward to seeing updates! :)
your binders are interesting, rich, gorgeous. the link to bastiano. wow.
bravo on all fronts!
