Sort of related, any advice of how to make a board book, like for babies, and what to make it out of to minimize chemicals that could be leeched out if put in the mouth?
- User23 3y agoI can’t think of how one would replicate a board book with resources typically available at home. Not just the binding, but also the printing would be difficult if not impossible without essentially building your own four color press. I imagine that there are printers out there that can print on thick cardboard, but most people don’t have one of those either. If I were making DIY children’s books meant to be durable I’d probably print folio on Tyvek printer paper and use some suitably durable thread to sew a booklet binding.
- aidenn0 3y agoTyvek is a great idea (some commercial children's books use this), but if you want the "board book" feel, then printing on paper that is glossy only on one side, then gluing to cardboard will work. Just make sure to print the page image slightly larger than the cardboard so you get full-bleed after trimming.
