Book Binding Workshop

Thank you so much to Craft MNL for the amazing workshop! We actually had this back in September and forgot to blog about it tee hee. Sorreh. At any rate, it was worth it because we learned a new unique skill that we'll definitely be continuing to do. I mean how many people can say that they know how to make a legit  notebook, huh? Not that many, mind you but WE CAN. 

We were able to learn different kinds of binding and all and we can't really explain how we made them, you know how you learn certain things, and this is the kind where you have to do it yourself(we can't be saying put this thread into that hole then loop it to the below... nah). So if you're feeling crafty why not enroll yourself in one of Craft MNL's workshops, they hold different kinds from rubber etching to glass etching to silver clay making and the list goes on...The possibility of you learning a new craft is one click away: Craft MNL's facebook page for more info on upcoming workshops that you might enjoy :) 


Also thank you to Nikki(who was our instructor check her own lovely creations here: Junk Studio) and Marielle for being so accommodating and patient with us. We just love their place, an ideal workplace just gets the juices out of you the moment you enter the place! 
 Lo and Behold...

 From your friendly, crafty old bastards,

P.S. there is a great chance we'll be selling handmade notebooks soon!
