handmade book falling apart?
ok so i made a book and stitched it all by hand and the i added glue to make sure they stayed together. unfortunatly, my mistake, i did not use waterproof glue. i tea stained some of the pages and now the paper has gone all wobbly and starting to fall out. is there anyway to fix this?
if not i am debating on whether to do another one but this book has like 300 pages so its a bit of a waste.
ty
the pages havent fallen out yet just the holes where i have sewn them together have got bigger which has made the paper go “wobbly” (not the actual texture of the paper lol)
i just think that over time they might fall out cause they are not that secure.
i used the coptic stitch to bind it and i dried the pages with a hairdryer.
when did you tea stain it you dozy duck? if it was like yesterday or an hour ago or something, dry it out quick! if not, restitch the fallen pages again, alright?
if not get your mum, a parental guardian, a granny, an aunt, an uncle etc to do fix it, kay?
honestly…
