Instructions (Print version) 1. Cut all patterned papers into 5” by 7” pages paying close attention to the direction of the pattern. (For some patterns, you may only be able to get 2 pages). 2. Adhere one of the 5” by 7” pages made from Party Gifts paper to the canvas board cover. Select and adhere other papers to the inside and back covers and arrange the remaining pages as you wish for the inside of the book. 3. Measure in 1” from the top and 1” from the bottom of the canvas board cover and make a small mark close to the left edge as a guide. Using the craft hand drill, carefully drill through the two covers with the pages in between. 4. From scraps of the Party Gifts paper, cut out individual presents with the fingertip craft knife and adhere to the coordinating image on the cover page using foam dots. Continue to embellish the cover using stickers and chipboard shapes of your choice. 5. Add photos and embellishments to the inside pages as you please. 6. Secure the book with two metal rings and tie small pieces of Heidi Grace ribbon around the rings. |
