Retard here. What's the best or cleanest way of adhering separate pieces of cardboard/paper/laminated paper when making a card? All I can come up with is crude kindergarten-level stuff like taping the edges and using gluesticks and etc.
>>
>>628224
Gluestick either side and put a book on top to ensure good contact while it dries. If it is a smooth glossy surface that might not work. I think "tacky glue" is one step up from Elmer's kid glue. These wetter glues can cause rough porous paper to deform, so glue stick is better. Tacky glue might work for more durable stuff. Still want to book to ensure good contact and prevent warping from moisture. Also wrap tape into loop to make one sided tape double sided tape.

Suggestions for simple small paper (2x2) models that aren't any more difficult than cranes? My fingers are not so nimble at that size.

Also fuck tuttle's off-square stuff. Can anyone suggest good paper brands? I've had some luck with Kyowa and Toyo, but kissangel was more plastic than foil.

modular origami?
otherwise pinwheel or hats

It’s not science like nasa but it was engineered using kirigami (origami with cuts allowed)

So I am tea dyeing and then baking paper to get a nice distressed look. I want to bind it with some this twine to keep a rustic look, but I am worried I will just keep ripping it.

Pic related is my test leaf I made from my over cooked pieces. End of the day this is a prop for a table top RPG, so it will need to be strong enough to stand up to handling.

Anyways anyone here ever worked with distressed paper or hand bound books? Any help would be great.
>>
>>628101
The plan for the book I am making is 5 leafs of 5 sheets for 100 pages, a protective sheet at both ends... Eventually I will figure out a cover but that isn't really a paper issue though idk how to attach it so it might be paper related.
>>
>>628101
Soft string, a cardboard cover to prevent tears. Leave the binds themselves a little loose. Japanese hemp stitch is pretty easy on the paper. If your twine is rough, consider painting it with a little starch and water. Dry, crumple, paint again and it'll soften up some. Try not to soak the bits you're stitching if possible.

If you want some cheap prints find the manual for Netstorm, Islands at War. Has some pencil sketches toward the back showing through the paper from the scans you can print them and then soak.

Here's a post >>627082 I made in the other thread about bookbinding that shows what I do for the books I bind. The video it's based off is for a "medieval style" binding so that might go well with the theme you're going for. I've also considered doing the same thing but with a fully leather cover. I just haven't got around to trying it yet. I do like the look of those pages you've done.
There's also a good bit of posts in that thread that might be helpful for you to look at for ideas for the binding.
>>
>>628391
Thanks I used the less even ones for the test.
Some are very even and really look like parchment.
I used my beater baking sheet, I have a lot for art projects. Any little burnt on contamination will cause the black spots as the evaporating tea lifts it off.

Your begging constantly kills other threads that are about sharing and contribution to this little community, you're scum because instead of spreading the material you choose to replace a good thread with this bullshit, I already reported your email address, "Con los huesos de tus difuntos voy a hacerme una escalera para subirme a los cuernos de tu padre y cagarme desde ahi sobre la puta de tu madre"

I just finished this model and I realized a few things: always print your models using inkjet, not laser because the laser toner cracks when you fold it and white lines show up. also, never use liquid super glue on thin paper because it bleeds terribly. i only use gel super glue because its thicker and spreads evenly
