[Binding tutoring]
You can DIY bind you book
When
we visit of CardHome Printing Factory, we saw the binding machines in which the
employees were operating for saddle stitches. Watching the sheets of paper, put
them on the machine, and they came out to be a book. Unify; no accidents.
After
returning to school, we discussed making small books to promote the work of the
printing industry. Some people think of making small book by folding paper, but
because we fold the paper, the book produced is really small. So we decided to look
up from the Internet and see if there are other ways to make it. We realized
that we can also DIY saddle stitch book, so we started working on it!

Things to prepare: 3-5 sheets of A4 size
paper, 2 sheets of B4 paper, eraser, stapler, glue, double-sided tape, pencil.
Step 1: First, take out about 3 to 5 sheets
of A4 paper, and then fold it in half, so you can see the mark. This is the
same page on both sides of the book.
Step 2: Place the eraser on the mark.
Step 3: Turn over to the back, open the
stapler with the nail side and nail it down.
Step 4: Turn back to the side of the inner
page, unplug the eraser, and press the protruding parts of staples. Nail upper
and lower part, the saddle stitch is complete!
Step 5: Take a larger piece of paper. We
use B4 here. Take the inner page that you just made to mark. Each side must be
0.5 cm apart from the edge and become two equal sizes and one side. Cut it off,
this is the back of the book cover and book back.
Step 6: Take a piece of paper as big as it
is, find the paper center, and paste the middle one, which is the back of the
book.
Step 7: Paste the next two large sheets.
You can cut the corner or not.
Step 8: Finally, fold the bottom one down.
It is best to measure the size before you fold, so they will be even.
Step 9: Paste the original inner page and
complete it. If you are afraid of being stabbed by a staple, you can put a
scotch tape to avoid cuts!
