The type of binding we got taught in our workshop was a simple 3-point saddle stitch, which is good for combining a small number of pages for like a zine or small booklet, etc. 

Tools used: 

• 100% beeswax coated thread. 
• Shears. 
• Your choice of paper (for this book it was 5 sheets of white paper and hen a thicker coloured card for the cover.)
• Bone Folder. 
• Thick card, for when you poke the holes in the spine.
• Needle for guiding the thread through the holes. 

Process of making: 

• With the sheet of paper landscape fold it in half as precisely as possible, use the bone folder to flatted the folded edge. 
• Once all pages and cover is folded stack them together, and with he thick card underneath use the hole poker to create three hole sin the spine. 
• PLace one hole directly in the middle of the horizontal sine, then space the other two holes about three centimetres in from the end of the spine. 
• Now cut a piece of thread about twice as long as the long side of the book. 
• Thread the thread through the hole in the needle and create a knot so that it won't come loose. 
• Thread through the middle hole first, pulling it though and leaving just enough thread to tie a knot later. 
• Next you can go to either o the holes soon the other side it docent matter, but once you've don't that you go straight across to the other side not going through the middle again.
• Once your back at the side you started to cut the needle of the rope and tighten the rope and create a small knot so it keeps the papers tightly together.
• The just cut the thread so there's about a centimetre of loose sting to stop the knot coming undine.
