Journal Making with Ribboned Japanese Binding

Join us this February to make a fun and creative journal for writing, drawing and journaling! This event is suitable for anyone aged 5-99, but younger children may need some support with the binding.

Debbie is here to help you put together your jourmal, giving you ideas for decoration, and then showing you how to bind your book with an easy version of Japanese 4-hole Stab Binding (don't worry, no stabbing required!).

You will need the following for this event:

• a cereal box, or the equivalent strength of card (not too stiff).
• some old wrapping paper, or equivalent
• some paper. This can be coloured, patterned, textured, whatever you like to go inside your book.
• fabric scraps, card and any other bits you would like to use to decorate your cover.
• scissors
• craft glue
• hole punch
• 2m ribbon
• an embroidery needle, or child's blunt needle with large eye to fit ribbon through.

This is a fun, relaxed session, where you can work at your own pace. 

Debbie is qualified teacher with full DBS.
