This technique is new to me but looks like a pretty amazing way to start creating books without a bookbinding machine. And your books can look as unique as the paper I choose!

Great techniques shared in a clear way. It would have been easier to see the biindings if the pamphlet cover prints weren't so busy or solid colors instead (though prints are way more fun!)
