A book from scraps


After seeing a blog friends handmade notebook 
I started messing about with scraps of paper that 
were on my desk and in the waste paper basket.


After cutting them all to size, layering them up 
and making a centre fold I punched a series of holes
along the middle line for the binding.


You can see that I’ve used sewing cotton 
as a binder.


And there you have it, a little book of scraps to fill with what you will.




The outer cover is a piece of wallpaper.
