LET'S GIFT CRAFTIN!
STEP 1: Grab three 12x12 papers for the base of your book. You will make three folds on each paper. Fold each piece in half, crease and open, then fold the opposite way crease and open. Then fold once diagonally with a firm crease and then open. TIP: To ensure your book folds easier, make each fold twice and crease firmly with your thumbnail or a bone folder.
STEP 2: Lie the three pieces down side by side like diamonds with the diagonal creases parallel to each other pointing up and down. Using a good adhesive, adhere the pages together where the middle squares overlap.
STEP 3: Fold both outsides as shown above on the left. Then fold the middle squares under as shown above on right. These folds will collapse the intire unit into a 6" square as the base of your book.
STEP 4: MAKING COVERS- Cut two 9"x9" squares of paper and adhere 7" chipboard squares to the center of each. Then fold in corners as shown in left picture above. Then fold all sides in and adhere down.
STEP 5" Mark the center of your covers vertically and horizontally. Place the middle of your 30" ribbon on the center mark and then glue the ribbon down across the inside cover all but 1/2" on both sides.
STEP 6: Making sure your book opens from the bottom right corner, adhere unto the back cover with a good adhesive and then adhere the front cover on.
STEP 7: Time to TAYLOR your book to your fancy! Here's some ideas for the covers and inside. TIPS: You can also decorate the back of the folded part:) Don't place photos over creases if you don't want them then to crease. I like to cut 3" squares and then cut diagonally for more cute embellishments, as well as, 1/2" and 1" strips and 5 1/4" squares out cute patterned paper. Be careful folding your book back up for the first time as some of your decorations will need to get "comfortable:)" folding up.
Have fun adding photos and tickets and anything else that fits your fancy:) Be sure to share and tag us on Instagram! @PlanninWithManny
