DIY Introduction to Bookbinding Kit by Supabinda
These introductory kits come in an array of colors and provide beginners with basic binding tools, knowledge and instructions, all of which are then cleverly bound as a nifty little keepsake. I’ve tested my own hand at this single-section booklet and was very pleased with the results :)
There is also a cheap PDF version of this DIY kit available here.

DIY French Link Binding (by Pastiche Knitwear)
A simple and very useful binding that can be left exposed or covered up as a hardback. It’s essentially a basic pamphlet stitch binding, only the signatures are linked/criss-crossed together for extra strength. (Note: unlike this tutorial which links together all of the signatures, I personally only link every set of 2 signatures together, in order to avoid any bunching/pulling on the spine- but to each their own!)
