blondeviolin Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Last year, I bought a notebook composed of cardstock sheets in the scrapbooking section of Hobby Lobby. It was PERFECT to keep our FIAR/unit studies lapbook pieces together. (See here.) We filled that up and it still is going strong. I'm wanting to do the SOTW1 lapbook and was hoping to buy one of those notebooks again, but our Hobby Lobby doesn't carry anything of the sort. I'd prefer it to be spiral bound (or similar) and it DEFINITELY needs to be cardstock or heavyweight paper to withstand the wear and tear of this type of book. I'm fine proclicking a bunch of cardstock, but I don't think spines will be large enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoLuRu Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I've seen these as sketch books at office supply stores. If you can't find something like this, could Kinkos put one together for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, or other crafts stores. Do you have a Michaels? My dh draws and goes through sketch books just like this quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolamum Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 You can obtain larger spines. :D You could also order through BareBooks {.com} for spiral bound books. Those are spoken highly of on the FIAR boards. I've never orderd the BB before because they won't ship to where I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondeviolin Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 I've looked at sketchbooks, but they are typically bound at the top. Are there some bound at the side with the heavy paper? I might have to look at Michael's...and Bare Books... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Did you know that you can use regular spirals that are a 3:1 pitch with your ProClick? You just twirl them on yourself. They are available in lots of sizes--I've ordered from mybinding.com a couple of times without any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a pair of finishing pliers, but they don't work great. Elegantlion uses pliers she warms up--PM her and she can explain it. I bought the pliers thinking it would be easier, but I wish I would've just gone with her solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
