Teach your students how to create their own bound books for the stories that they write. This instructional resource shows the step by step process of book binding and paper marbling.

It is an age-old technique that is used as a writing surface for calligraphy and especially book covers and endpapers in book binding and stationery. Book binding is the process of assembling a book by hand. It results from sewing a number of folded sheets of paper or other material together and attaching it to a book cover.
