Crumple brown Kraft paper

Make Wonder Wash spritzer 1 part WW 3 parts water

Liberally spritz paper,

mostly gold with copper and silver highlights

Cover- Step 2

Cover chipboard very liberally with gluestick

center on wrong side of kraft paper.

Burnish lightly from back

Clip corners leaving approx. 1/16" at corner.

Short sides first cover end flaps with gluestick and fold over edge smoothing it down. When all 4 edges are done, burnish from back.

Add a small brad to a red photo mount corner and glue to outside corners of cover.

Cover- Step 3

Inside cover

Trim a piece of text weight paper 1/2" smaller than cover, center and glue to inside.

Do not decorate front cover until the book is complete.

Pages

Using full sheets of cardstock, fold each in half

so it's 5.5" x 8.5"

Do not use bone folder on this, you want a soft fold

use doublestick tape or gluestick at bottom of inside- this makes the basic pocket page

You may wish to add pages of text weight paper in between the "pocket" pages.

At this point, have the book assembled and comb bound, making sure the open end of each page is at the top

Now for the pockets.

Use a piece of scrap chipboard to put inside pocket while you score it


Insert piece of chipboard into pocket,

and score where you want the fold


Cut edge off side of page from top down to scored fold line

Cut inside of page from top down to scored fold line

Score again where you want a second fold

Attach ribbon with tape- it will be hidden


Secure pocket flap down with doublestick tape,

add brads as desired

I edged this one with Krylon just so the folded edge would show better in scan
