Scope and Contents

From the Series:

A tassel binding is meant to showcase all pages in a book while either hanging or spread out on the table. It works well with thick paper, tunnel books, and lots of thread. The star arms are double layered, so the artist can add pop-ups into this binding. There is also thread, ribbon, or cord dangling down from the center of the book.
