Why Paper and Bone?

While paper is a commonly seen element of bookbinding, bone is just as important. One of a bookbinder’s most important tools is their bone folder, which is used at almost every step of the creation process.

About the Owner

Hello! My name is Claire, and I am the founder of Paper and Bone Bindery. Every journal you’ll find here is handmade by me.

Books have always been a passion of mine - I come from a family of avid readers - but it wasn’t until later in life that I began to question how books are made. Bookbinding started as a hobby, and quickly grew into an obsession. I began selling my journals after I made so many that they no longer fit on my shelves!

P.S. No, I’m not actually an elf. But I wish I was.
