This is a tutorial on making headbands which I decided to post, in case some people might not want to spend time on sewing headbands, yet don't want to use pre-made commercial headbands. On this video, I included a brief tutorial on another sewing headbands: Conservation style "One core headband". I added this simplest sewn headband demonstration in case some people have trouble with doing other styles. (session 1 & 2 of my sewn headbands videos). As for the leather headband featured on this video, I haven't publicly listed a video demonstration on paring leather on YouTube, so those who haven't had experience of paring leather won't be able to make them. (sorry..) But, I will list a video on leather paring publicly in the future. Before going into a tutorial on case making, I'd like to let you know that I will have to make another video which I will show what's needed to be done prior to making a case. Thanks for your interest. MHR. P.S. Apologize for my dirty fingers! Ahh!

NOTE: As my purpose of creating these tutorial videos is to encourage general population to start getting involved in the bookbinding trade, I always try to demonstrate things with ordinary items as much as possible, so that it doesn't discourage viewers from trying it just because they don't have the particular equipment to do the job. The methods featured on my tutorial videos are very basic and often I have to change a little in order to make it more feasible to the beginners. So it should not reflect the real trade of bookbinding. Yet my instructions are thought through so that the end result will be perfectly decent if you follow them.
