not a hard cover
covered in newpaper photo of a frosty tree and a sheet from an old book
This one is the Gilded kitchen towel hard cover journal
decided l wanted eyelets for a neat effect on the cover and l'm thinking a multi-coloured thread......thin string maybe hand dyed
all will be stitched with the coptic bookbinding stitch
close up on the punched eyelet holes 
rainbow of eyelets for hard cover
I must say I love the eyelets. I haven't tried them on a hard cover though. I have used linen thread dyed with acrylic inks. It tends to unravel a little, but it still works well.
ReplyDeletethanx l though it would be a nice tidy finsh and l want to use thicker threads even ribbon to do the coptic something that will make a statement...really enjoying ths project
ReplyDeleteThose eyelets really add a good touch to your book. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteThanx freebird....was worried the thread would damage the holes and l liked the rainbow of colours that it added too
