Scrapwest Blog Celebration!
Today is Blog celebration day on Scrapwest, pay a visit, there's some great work and some links to cool stuff to be won.
This is what I've made, a maze book, leave a comment below and it could be yours, I'll draw aname from the hat next weekend. (Please excuse the photography as its late!)
Finished front of book, complete with wooden tag for you to add a title, or a letter or whatever takes your fancy. Updated with daylight pic.
How to make it:
Take one sheet of 12 x 12 cardstock, fold in half. Crease with a bone folder.
Bring the edges in to the middle fold and crease again.
Open the sheet of paper out flat, and repeat the folds from the other side so that you end up with 16 squares that are 3" x 3" each.
Starting at left hand side Cut from bottom of cardstock up 3 squares on your card stock. Then at other side TOP of cardstock cut another 3 squares in and finally go to bottom of sheet on the right hand cut in another 3 squares so that now your sheet of cardstock resembles the letter M.
Cut two pieces of chipboard to 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" each.
Cover the chipboard with patterned paper of your choice.
Mitre the edges and adhere to the inside of the chipboard.
Place front and back cover side by side with approx 1/2" space between them.
Cut ribbon to size allowing a few inches free each side of the book covers, attach to front and back cover with adhesive.
Take the folded cardstock and put adhesive on the front and back flap:
Place between the front and back cover and press down firmly.
Decorate the cover as desired.
The little flaps on the inside can be stapled or held together with eyelets and ribbon to hold little tags or whatever and pictures can be added.
Tomorrow I'll post pics of the inside of another maze book I made earlier this year
