Thanks @LiisaS for submitting this idea! For this swap we are going to follow a tutorial with Natasha from her channel Treasured Books. Using 1 12x12 sheet you will create 6 elements
As a base I suggest using sturdy cardstock but not cardboard. Natasha laminates all six items but you do not have to. As she says in the video, plastic should be avoided as much as possible. I started this craft this afternoon. It’s pretty time intensive but fun to make. The binding part slowed me down. You can bind the mini journal and booklet any way you want to. Her method is very simple. If you don’t use an eyelet, make a bellyband or use sting to keep them closed. Decorate the 6 elements in your choice of theme but you can look at your partner’s profile for inspiration. For the ephemera folder, add at least 3 pieces of ephemera. When you’ve made your 6 elements bundle them up together in a beautiful way. You can use a chiq bag, ribbon, tassels or a charm band. Remember though to keep it as flat as possible. We don’t want any customs or postal problems. I hope i’ve explained this clearly. If not message me. The link is here Remember to add your swapbot name and the name of this swap. This will be a type 3 swap with a longer send date. Have fun! |
