how to bind a book with a three punch hole using a ribbon ?

Question

I want to know what is the technique to used to bind three hole punch using a ribbon.... the book its not thick its more like a scrapbook... Thanks any info its helpful...also any web site info that explains the technique

Answer 1

Take one end of the ribbon through the top hole (from front to back) Take the other end of the ribbon through the bottom hole( front to back) Pull both ends tight, and even. Now take each end and pull them through the middle hole, with each end on either side of the ribbon over the hole.Now tie a bow, with the ribbon over the hole in the center of the bow. It might help you pass the ribbon ends through the holes, if you cut them on an angle. It's not hard to do.

Answer 2

Use an odd number of paper lunch sacks. We've used 3 and 5. Fold and glue the bottom 'flap' down to make both sides of the bag a 'full' surface. Then fold the sacks in half and stack with the 'open edge' half down except for the bottom sack. flip it so the open edge is on top and thicker side on bottom. Punch 3 to 5 holes on the folded sides evenly spaced. thread and tie ribbons through the holes and tie in square knots. Ribbon lengths of about 6 to 7 inches works well. The bags can also be bound using eyelets (use only 3 bags for this). Decorate bags any way you wish using scrapbook paper and embellishments. To make tags or pullouts, measure the available size for the pockets and tri-fold a long piece of paper or cut tags to match theme. I have made these with girls as young as 5. The bags can be painted, decoupaged, etc before you bind them if you want to get fancy. GOOD LUCK!!
