Binding Our Own Books

1/14/2024

0 Comments

 
One thing that we do a lot of in our homeschooling program is the printing off of worksheets, activity pages, and e-books. Sometimes we make our own and sometimes we purchase them.

​I used to hole punch and put them into notebooking binders, but I have since started binding them myself instead. This way the books are more secure, easy to turn all the pages, I can add protective cover pages, and they stay neat and tidy. The kiddos love them. Sometimes we even take a year's worth of worksheets and BIND THEM TOGETHER at the end of the year, too. We can look back year-to-year and see all the fun activities from the past.

Since I do teach at a local homeschool co-op, I also enjoy making fun books and binding various projects for class as well. This machine is also perfect for printing off other e-books on gardening, baking & cooking, essential oils, you name it! This helps keep all those pages I print off organized and easily accessible.

​Here is the machine that we purchased and so far, it has been perfect!
​I purchased the MAKEASY Binding Machine.

Check out this video showing the machine in action! We were binding all the e-books for our current school year. So easy and quick!
Here are some of the various comb sizes that we used for various projects. The larger the comb, the more pages you can bind with ease!

Ephesians 3:20-21

20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
