I had the initial idea for these headbands while attending a workshop on Coptic bindings by Nina Judin, in May 2009 in Amsterdam. While we were making our headbands, Nina mentioned as a side remark that it could also be done from the left to the right if that should seem preferable. And with that tiny remark, she immediately caught my curiosity. I thought, maybe one could make two headbands on the same edge: One from left to right and the other from right to left. Maybe with two different colors. And maybe they could somehow lock into each other so that the result might look unusual and interesting.

It took me a while to find the time to experiment with the thought. Of course it was not as easy as I first thought. The result of my thinking and my experiments are these five Coptic Double Headbands.

Full description

This instructional book covers 6 headbands: the original Coptic headband, and 5 variations that I found in early Summer 2009. This listing is for the e-book containing the 3rd supplemented and revised edition from 2013. The images added to this listing show examples of different headbands, and a screenshot of thumbnails, giving you an idea of how the book looks like.

The book contains step by step instructions, each accompanied by plenty of photos. And there are additinal chapters mentioning common mistakes and difficulties. The Coptic binding itself is not explained, only the modifications that you'll have to do for the attachment of the headbands are covered. It is assumed that you know how to Coptic bind a book with hard covers.

Difficulty Level: Advanced (you should know how to make a Coptic bound book.)

Language: English

After you purchase and pay for the ebook, I will give you the URL and your username and password. You then click the link, enter the access data, and with another click you can open and save the document.

The file has approximately 35 MB. Depending on the connection it can take several minutes to download it on a broadband connection.

The image resolution is 100dpi. This is good for viewing details on the screen and for printing on a home printer.
