ReFabulous... it's new again.: Make your own paperback wallet!
I wanted to share my tutorial for making wallets out of old paperback books (or any paper media, really.) This basic wallet was not my idea... the original link does not work (but here it is anyway. ) The original design was flawed, and the wallets ripped the first time you opened them. I changed the design, and made them much, much stronger. My own wallet is over 1 1/2 years in use now, and still going strong. Not bad, huh?

L’été, quand il fait vraiment chaud, c’est assez difficile pour moi de supporter trop de bijoux. En ce moment je ne mets que des bagues légères et des colliers très fins. Je me suis fabriquée quelques pièces, notamment le collier que je porte sur ces photos. Des simples cordelettes fluo très fines glissées dans une perle métallique en forme de tube (que j’ai acheté dans cette boutique Etsy ), c’est tout simple et parfait pour les grosses chaleurs ! Pour la bague, pareil, j’ai eu envie de me fabriquer une bague si lègre que je la sens à peine. Voici les instructions pour la faire à votre tour :

The most common type of sewn bookbinding that I often default to, falls into the category of longstitch binding. It’s really a general categorization for many different methods of sewn binding. People have invented their own patterns and techniques and have probably called it something else as well. Suffice to say, it’s a general way to denote sewing your paper to the cover of your book. I’m sure you’ve noticed journals out there with exposed sewing in the binding in a variety of patterns and designs.
