Hello -- wasn't sure where to put this topic, so here goes.

I'd like to simply bind about 15-20 A4 pages, the more "homemade" or "rustic" the better. I was trying to have it done professionally, online, but the flash programmes that are used are a behemoth of a download, and I can't be bothered with our slow dial-up.

Any suggestions, hints, websites, etc?

Thanks!

Single A4 sheets? drill holes down the edge and blanketstitch with heavy duty thread?

snap, snapdragon! took the words right outa my mouth

Mine are simply A4 sheets with two holes fairly central and hemp string threaded through and tied in a bow on the outside . The covers are card and printed on my puter...

if you look at my website ... link at the bottom go into the books and you will see what they look like...

Thanks for that! It's nice to see some good pictures, as I haven't been able to find too much on the 'net. I'm wanting to doa sort of photo book of the last year, to be given to the in-laws when they come to visit in Feb.

After all the trouble trying to get the photos up to some of the professional sites, I thought I'd probably have more fun doing it on my own anyway.

What is that beautiful flowering tree on the home page of your website?

Thankyou ... glad the pics helped and yes they are great fun to do.

i like your website!

You've taken some beautiful photos.

thanks ... and they starting to sell now ...

It's Euonymus europaeus, farmerdrea, otherwise known as spindle. - and the photos are brill!

If you're going to make a photobook, it's best to use acid free or pH neutral paper. It will help slow deterioration.
