I can now make my own thermally bound books of any size up to 15"X15" and 4" thick!!!! It's amazing!!! I just create pages I want, slide them into the spine of the cover I created, heat, and it's done! No rings, no stitching, no accordion folding. Just a book, like all those ordered through online photo sites.
Here's the first one that I by covering chipboard rectangles:
This next one is a 4X4 book and I used cardstock for the covers. It's not as study but at least as sturdy as a small spiral notebook you by at the store.
These will be wonderful for small additions for tucking into gift bags and then there is the whole realm of possibilities or themed photo albums or scrapbooks as gifts and to archive the heritage information I am working on. Whole books with all the information in nice, clean binds. :) Oh, and reports......but who wants to think about reports????
