A quick process video on how I make little notebooks with my children. We start simple—just folding and stapling paper, covering the staples with washi tape. Once they’ve mastered measuring and folding, we move on to a basic pamphlet stitch book, like the one in this video.

From there, the possibilities open up—rounding corners, perforating pages, making the books larger or smaller, adding decorative covers—many ways to personalize their books. This has been a much enjoyed activity in our home, and I hope it’s helpful for anyone looking to introduce bookbinding to their children.
