MATERIALS YOU’LL NEED:
• ~10 sheets of regular 8.5″ x 11″ computer paper per book. You can experiment with paper size to create different size journals! 
• 1  8.5″ x 11-11.5″ sheet of cardstock/thicker paper for the cover
• Bonefolder, or another folding tool like a straightedge or your fingers!
• A few paper clips or binder clips
• Ruler, optional
• Pencil or writing utencil
• Embroidery floss, or other type of strong thread, cut to 3Xs the length of your book’s spine, or folded edge. Example: an 8.5″ tall book would need an approx. 25.5″ length of thread.
• Needle
• Awl, or suitable substitute to poke binding holes, like a thumbtack
• Scissors

MODIFICATIONS & EXTRA TID BITS:
• This project is suitable for ages 8+. For very young bookmakers, consider modifications to make it easier for little hands, like making bigger binding holes with a hole punch, and using larger yarn (without a needle) for the thread!
• Bookbinders typically use thread that has been waxed to allow for the thread to more easily glide through the punched holes in the paper. If you want to try using waxed thread, try running your thread across a candle (beeswax works great!). You’ll know your thread is waxed enough when it is smooth and almost sticky to the touch.
• While this tutorial shows pamphlet stitch with 3 binding holes, these books can be made with any odd number of holes! After completing this 3-hole stitch, consider challenging yourself to try 5 or 7 hole pamphlet stich!
