Tutorial Tuesday - Capturing Moments Mini Journal |
Here's how you put them together:
Measure out card to suit the size you want
Recycled card measures 3x7inches |
Choose paper that you want to use as the cover both sides and use either pva glue or double sided tape
Using a bone folder you are going to create a spine allow 3 inches on either side and one inch for the spine, this is where the signatures will be sitting
The signatures measure 3 x 6 inches in length and you will need 11 of them
Fold in half an see how they fit in the book
Get your wool or string of choice and rap round the outside cover, tie it in a knot
begin to wrap the wool round each of the signatures and round the back
Once you've wrapped it round each signature you cut off a length of the wool
Use large needle and thread the remaining wool back and forward through the spine
If you want you can thread beads on it at this point
Once you have secured the wool all the way down tie off and before you cut it off you can decide to add a beads at this point.
I added a paper bead to my one.
Then you can add what ever decoration to the front of the mini journal and begin to have fun in it.
