1 Take a three ring binder and
remove the inner pages.
Create a fresh set using the
Change-A-Page die and
various textured materials.
2 Cut floral fabric to wrap
around the outer cover
with enough to turn inside –
use the book open flat as a
template. Cut denim for the
inside covers. Fix both fabrics
using double-sided adhesive
sheets or fabric glue.
3Die cut 'Make Art' using
the Type-Oh! Die and
old denim. Add double-
sided sticky to the back of
the fabric before cutting it
to make it easier to adhere
letters in place. Outline each
one in black to add shadow.
