Handmade autograph books

[mvmarcz]

So in about 2 weeks my husband and I will be off to the world and we'll be on our own. A few days ago he asked me who all's autographs we would be getting. News to me! Usually when we go we're with his family and the only one getting signatures are my niece and nephew and sometimes I'll be in line with them so we have no autograph book of our own. So now he wants autographs! Well I don't like the books at Disney. They're ok but they're pricey for what they are(of course). So I took matters into my own hands and made my own! And I just can't stop!!!!
They are bound using the japanese stab binding method and most of the papers are scrapbooking papers with the covers also including calendar images and coloring book covers. And stickers...and ribbons....and a sea shell. Since I don't need 4 autograph books the others are for my niece, nephew, and SiL.
And now on with the magic: :wizard:

All of these other books have a spot for a photo and an area for "this book belongs to" This red card is to show how it looks when there's a photo

I sure could like to see some instructions for your binding method! Those are very very nice!

[mvmarcz]

I'm working on a tutorial for how I make these but the binding method you could probably google it though most of the ones I've seen online don't use the hinge method
