I admit that I got the idea for this week’s list of links from this month’s Wired (the DIY diva Martha Stewart is on the cover), but who cares?  The issue didn’t speak about these fun projects to be found on the web!  Besides, these are some great projects to wile away one’s time under the air conditioner.

I found this site on Japanese bookbinding from the DIY Happy blog.

D.I.Y. Kids blog has all sorts of bookish projects.

Learn how to make a book out of a paper bag at Daily DIY: Feeding the Desire to Make & Mod.

Moonstitches has a book cover tutorial page and Keyka Lou tells you how to make a cover for your writing journal.

D*I*Y Planner: Paper, Productivity & Passion has a post on some pretty neat (and simple) bookmark projects.

Finally, Kimbooktu has all sorts of links on book projects, products, bookshelves, etc.

Until next Friday!
