A great gift, as well as a practical application of your knowledge!First, we need to prepare the paper.office type, which has a density of 80 g per m2. Using a notebook in A6 format with 120 pages, we must design 30 such sheets. Initially, you should think about the vintage technique. To do this, prepare a special solution in which coffee is present. To do this, you need to take a glass of water (heated). You will also need a spoon of coffee with a slide on top. We prepare the mixture and paint on both sides of the product. Also, they can be placed on top of each other. When working, do not forget to wear gloves, otherwise, fingers and nails can be damaged by coffee (at least - their appearance). After the paper acquires a normal appearance, it will remain a little damp. But this problem is also easy to solve by using the iron without steam mode. Additionally, attach a sheet of paper so as not to spoil the surface of future blanks. You can also take the solution on a toothbrush and spray drops, which also need to be "stroked" through the sheet.Press and spine After all the elementsdry, they need to be put under the press. This is necessary so that each leaf of the future notebook is even. After, it is necessary to cut out two of each sheet, and then - fold them into two parts. Thus, 4 sheets per notebook. We form the binding based on the lessons on scrapbooking.After you have completed the flashing,It is necessary to lubricate the spine with PVA adhesive, and then send the block under the press. We wait until the block dries, this can take up to three hours. After that, we repeat the procedure of smearing with glue, and then glue the bandage to the surface. This is necessary for reinforcing your future binding. Then, we repeat the procedure of sending it under the press. The appearance may not be the best, but it will last for many years. In addition, we will hide all this under the cover.Then, we wait for the block to dry, which shouldbe ready exactly within 24 hours. The side parts of your workpiece will indicate problems with alignment. But, for this you can take the work to a printing house, where the craftsmen will cut it as needed using a special tool. As a result, you should have a block that will have dimensions of 15 by 10 and 1.8 centimeters. Preparing the coverTo form the cover, you need to takethick cardboard to fit the size of the workpiece - 15.5 by 10.5 centimeters. You will also need cardboard measuring 1.8 centimeters by 15.5 centimeters - for the spine. Select the appropriate fabric of thin padding polyester foam. This is necessary so that the cover is stuffed and soft. Using one layer, you will not make the cover too lush, so it is recommended to take at least two. They must be connected together using tape on both sides. After, you need to glue the workpiece using glue-moment. You need to leave gaps of 5-8 millimeters between the cardboard. We also select fabric for the cover. We will have velor fabric under velvet. Such fabric has elastic properties, but you should not use it in the first notebook, since the fabric is very thick. It is much better to take satin fabric or linen. This stage requires excessive accuracy. The fabric should have a cut more than 6 centimeters longer than each side. We have 3 centimeters left for the smell at each edge. The corners need to be trimmed. Velor stretches well, so the smell may be less for it, but in general, it is better to use the standard approach. With the help of velor, the edge will turn out to be a very smooth transition part along the padding polyester. Next, you need to fix the fabric on the cardboard. To do this, you need to glue the sides of the length with glue. Then, you need to bend the corners, using your fingers and pressing on the material so that the gluing area is fixed for 20 seconds. After the gluing is finished, it must be put aside, wait for it to dry, then - you need to start decorating the product. We continue to work - For our case - the work will be done with lace. It also needs to be processed with a coffee solution, using edging with a black ribbon with a gold addition. We use leather braid and a metal pendant. Here you can also use your imagination and attach elements that you wish to the cover.Forming a bookmark and final questionsWe will devote special time to bookmarks. We will make one from velvet on a cord, the second we will prepare with the help of leather (braid), using the element of suspension. To form the endpaper, we will need a color printer, as well as thick paper of 200 g per m2. Also, prepare the necessary illustration. Using a sheet of A4 format, we can easily place two types of endpapers on it. After, it is necessary to trim the edges, then make a creasing in the middle. This is necessary so that the sheets are conveniently laid out and look beautiful. Then, we glue each element. The endpaper has a special role - to fasten the cover, as well as the block element Gluing the notebookFirst, you need to secure one of the particles.flyleaf on the back cover, then - wait until it dries. Then, you need to take the version of our block, also apply a strip of adhesive to it, using the page that is next to the spine. Then, the block must be connected to the flyleaf. In the same way, we form the back part for the cover. For those who have problems with the press due to added decorations, there is a life hack. For the bottom, a synthetic padding material is placed, which must first be folded in half. After that, the notebook is placed on top, and then - magazines, books or other heavy objects. such a press will allow your future notebook to be well preserved and glued. Be sure to make sure that the work is done evenly. You need to wait until the notebook dries. In general, this takes about a day. After, using stamps, design the pages. Thus, our notebook with a vintage design and the beauties of Paris is made by you! Congratulations!
