Chinese Thread Book // Zhen Xian Bao Two Book Bundle
The Chinese Thread Book originates from China and was made by women in provinces across the country to carry small habadashery items. It was made up of a multitude of origami pockets each which expanded and folded out bigger and bigger.
I have brought this wonderful tradition into the present with two versions using this method. The first is a mini version which can be completed in 1 hour and is a great introduction to this book structure.
The second workshop is a longer version and shows you how to build more pockets, doubling in size. Once you learn this method you will have the skills to make your own books in any size.
*Beware, bookmaking is addictive and you might end up a little obsessed by the end.
