Copic Stitch Binding

  

Hey there everyone, Stacy here today to share a fun project with you.  I simply LOVE to create mini albums.  I usually have at least 3 going on at all times.  When I bind my albums I usually use binder rings and tie lots of ribbon on them, or I will use the Cinch machine.  I saw this super cool binding technique and I had to give it a go! 

I needed drywall mesh...(which I had a whole roll of thanks to hubby), and some kind of knitting yarn!  Now I know nothing about knitting, but I thought well it can't be very different than my Twinery Twine right???  So for the paper that I was working with the Cantaloupe twine was what I grabbed.  The stitching technique that I tried is called the copic stitch.  Now I don't think I could explain this to you no matter how hard I tried, but I'm going to share the YouTube link of Marion Smith's that I found at the end of this post.

Ok now my album is not complete yet, but I wanted to share the binding with you before I finished my mini.  Here is what the side of it looks like.  If you don't like the mesh on it, you can also do it without the mesh.

Here is a close up photo for you.

For this mini I used 11 pieces of pattern paper and folded them in half to stitch through.  Here is what the inside of each folded page will look like.

Well that's all from me today, I sure hope that you try this fun binding technique.  With all of the fabulous colors of twine, you will never have to worry about it matching your papers.  Here is
the YouTube video so you can see just how easy
this stitch is to create.
