My 10 Favorite Things Mini Book - Kit

This is an awesome little mini book that we did for a class.  It is approximately 5.5" x 5.5".  It has a lot of detail and texture.  We have kits available for purchase for $25.00 while supplies last .  (SOLD OUT) Give us a call at the store and we can process your purchase over the phone.  We can even ship it to you.  This is a fabulously easy project with a great "wow" factor.   Everything is cut, stamped and prepped - all you have to do is assemble it and punch holes in each page to bind it together.  Just follow the the photos below and it will be a breeze.  The only supplies you will need are adhesive, glue dots, scissors and a hole punch and an optional distressing ink pad.

 


  


 








 



Add texture to the numbers by running your fingernail along the edge of the paper.  Make sure to hold the paper taut as it makes it much easier.  This technique will fray and distress the edges of your numbers making them more interesting to look at.

Glue dots work well to attach both ribbon and flowers.  Use Pop-Dots (foam 3-d adhesive squares) to give dimension.

Each page is designed to hold a standard size wallet photo.  (2.5" x 3.5")











 










To bind the book - stack all pages together and punch two holes to thread the ribbon through.  If you are using a traditional whole punch you may need to punch the cover first, then use those holes as a guide for the remaining pages.  Once the holes have been punched - thread the narrow black and white stitched ribbon through each page.  Then tie a knot to secure the pages together.  Make sure there is some slack in the ribbon so that you can easily turn the pages.  You will then tie the extra ribbon around each ribbon loop to give it that "fringed" look.
