Gift idea

I think it is about time I do a craft post. It's been so long since I did my "usual stuff" (book reviews, craft, baking...)
A couple of weeks ago it was one of my friends birthday. It was over midterm and there was no way I would be near any shop so out came paper, scissors and double-sided tape.

A Memory Book
What you will need:
5 blank cards
scissors or even better a paper slicer for straight lines
double sided sellotape
ribbons
punch holer
foam stickers to give the impression of 3-D
pretty paper with lots of design
and a few pictures of the person who will own it

 

1. stick the cards together as shown in picture. (make sure the front resembles opening a book)

2. pick plain coloured paper for background. Cut to right size and stick to each page.

3. Then use pattern paper and cut at angles to look like like a pocket.

Make sure to only stick the sides of the pocket to give room for what will go inside

Continue until all pages are full

Then cut out 6 frames for the pictures so they fit into the pocket.

I forgot to take more pictures of this one, but here is one I completed last year

And don't forget the cover

That's it!

 

Happy crafting
