Hi friends, I have been gone for awhile but only because we very suddenly had to move houses! It is a huge long story and I am just so happy to be settled and ready to create in our new home! I am starting a new project for November, called
Project fall, it is two weeks of fun projects from today til the day after Christmas! I hope you all enjoy! So today is Day one and the project is a give thanks mini journal/scrapbook! I am using it to write the things I am thankful for all this month! So here we go!
My finished book measures 5inches long by 6 inches tall obviously you can choose what works best for you!
 |
| First I cut all of my papers down to 10x6 inch pieces and then folded them in half |
 |
| I then burnished them with the end of my scissors |
 |
| I added tags and random strips of paper |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| After this I would up with two sections of paper each with four pieces of paper |
 |
| I took the first section and opened to the middle, I measured the six inches and marked in the center at the 1 inch and 5 inch |
 |
| Do the same thing with both signatures add the cover and poke through there as well |
|
|
 |
| Grab your needle and book binding thread and start on the outside cover and poke your needle into the book |
 |
| poke needle into the other side and come back around to the front |
 |
| Tye your string as tight as possible and your done! Just a note I did each signature right outside of the center line on the cover, which is why it is tied on one side and not in the middle of the book! |
