Gather Paper!

1. Grab your paper! (25)

2. Fold your paper sheets AND cover in half.

3. Place 5 sheets of paper inside of eachother to create a "signature" (booklet within a book). Do this with all the paper until you have 5 signatures total.

4. Trim paper by placing them one at a time inside of the cover and mark where it extendeds out of the cover. Cut off extra with scissors. 

Hole Punch!

1. Hole punch every signature and the cover. 

   • AVOID punching a hole too close to the edge

   • MAKE SURE all the holes line up with the cover's holes.

Threading!

1. Measure about 5 "arms length" of thread

2. Tie one end of the thread to the edge of the the cover with a double knot.

3.  Insert your first signature, and insert the thread through the back of one signature.

4.  Wrap your thread around the signature by looping it through the back of the book TWICE.

5.  String your thread through the second hole, stretching it across the inside of the page, and wrap it twice through the other hole creating two loops.

6.  Create a slipknot. 

1. • Stringing the thread under the two loops, pull the end of your thread through the larger loop formed and pull tight to the back cover. Pul up and down tightening it.

   • Be careful not to over tighten.

7.  Continue to add the remaining signatures. Close each signature before adding a new one. Each signature should be seperate from each other. Repeat the steps above to add it securely. 

Finish!

1. Finish everything off by tying at least 5 consecutive slip knots on the last signature. TIghten. 

   • Can add a dab of hot glue
