Bind-it-all*
The Bind-it-All is a miniature wire-binding machine that will punch and bind, allowing you to create your own books, journals, calendars, etc. It uses full-size "double-O" wire binding spines, so the "miniature" in my description is only for the petite size of the machine, not for the results. (It is still a heavy-duty machine, and international shipping will be dear.)

It comes with an instruction booklet, an instructional video on a DVD, and a set of guides (for choosing which binding wire will work best with the thickness of the pages you're binding AND for helping you to align long binding projects).

Binding wires in 3 sizes and 4 colors are available separately and are listed in the menu (all the wires come in packs of 2 and are 12" long; you can cut the wires down to size for a small project. Pre-cut heavy bookboard covers (1/16" thick) and cardstock pages for creating 2 sizes of booklets are also listed in the menu, below. (The covers come in sets of 2; the pages are in sets of 10 and are available in cream or black.) The 4.1" x 4.1" covers would be prefect for binding a chunky book. The 7.5" x 5" covers can be used for a horizontal or vertical book (the Bind-it-all can punch thru bookboard). Here's some info about things you should not try punching through.

The Christmas book at left was made by Miz Bella using one of the red binding wires. The calendar is by Lenna Andrews.
