Review on Get Crafty: Complete Book Binding Kit For Beginners With 34 Pieces Of Supplies, Hand Tools For Perfect Leather Making And Book Making by Scott Lavimodiere

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good Quality on my review.

After searching online I chose this book binding kit for two reasons. The amount of wax thread in various colors and the leather finger cots. However, I did not receive the leather finger cots. Instead, I received two thimble finger wraps that I will try to make use of but it did drop review from 5 stars to 4. No directions for using any of the tools nor any type of booklet with types of bookbinding. I understand the description doesn't say it includes any type of instructions but I am fairly new to bookbinding and for example, I looked everywhere online to try and find out what a double hole cone gourd is and what it's used for. The paper folder/creaser is plastic and not bone.

Pros
  • This product was great for hand binding my journals. Lots of thread options and needle sizes.
Cons
  • The leathermaking tools included in the kit may not be of the highest quality, which could result in shoddy or imperfect finished products that may not meet users' expectations
