A gentile richiesta di Jessica, questo post è dedicato alla rilegatura dei diari di viaggio. In realtà è molto semplice, non dovreste avere problemi a realizzarla, ma sono sicura che le immagini saranno più chiare di mille parole. Ho cercato di sintetizzare i vari passaggi anche con dei disegni, spero siano comprensibili.
Come modello ho usato un foglio di carta ripiegato, con un lato più corto dell’altro per mostrare meglio i passaggi di profilo.
As kindly requested by Jessica, here is the tutorial of the bookbinding of the journal. It is really simple and I am sure you all can do it pretty easily. Furthermore, the pictures can help more than a thousand words. I also sketched each step; I hope the drawings will help you.
I chosed a folded sheet of paper as model; its shorter side will offer you a good the chance to follow each step easily.

Steps from 9 to 10 are the hardest to explain: before running the thread through the central hole, you have to reeve it first under step-1-thread and then under step-5-thread. Without this expedient, the thread can enter and exit the paper with grasping it, and you would be back to step 8, then.





By using a long thread, you can shut the journal softly with the final A and B plies. Otherwise, starting the binding from the inside of the quire, you can even knot the plies closer to the paper surface and cut them short obtaining a trainless binding.
