I was first introduced to binder's thread in architecture school. With sticks and string, we built a wooden model of a cell phone tower. No adhesives were to be used to connect the wooden pieces together (think Jenga-sized pieces). Clever kids that we were, we used everything from floss to binder's thread, with the idea being to allow the wax to work as an adhesive. Loopholes. We architects learn to find them early on.
This time, I stuck with binder's thread and used it for its real purpose. With a few finds from Urban Ore and Creative Reuse---some nice paper and a stack of unused corporate folders---I hand-bound a couple of pocket notebooks.
The pictured notebooks above are particularly good for drawing, because of the type of paper used. I am still on the fence about putting a design up on the front. I kind of like the design that came through from the blue folders.
