Directions for Brag Book made from 12x12 Paper
Hey!! I have had so many requests for these to be e-mailed, thought I would make a thread. There is an attached MS Word document for folding the paper. That actually makes a very nice, compact little book.
Here are the direcitons for the actual project:
First, I cut the book in half in the middle. Then, I used a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch piece of paper and slipped it in between the folds (this will make sense after you do the project). I taped the designer paper to the inside paper, so it wouldn't slide around. Then, I stapled the pieces together. One of my brag books has two sets -- a total of four different designer papers -- and the other one has three (I think!!) Then, I stapled down the middle. After that, I used some more pieces of 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 papers to insert into the pockets. This covers up the cuts and the staples. It just makes it look prettier. KWIM?? I also tied ribbon around the bottom and up across each page section and tied on top. Then, I made tags -- I think they are 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 but I can't remember for sure -- and decorated with ribbon, brads, and stuff like that.
I hope the directions make sense. Let me know if you have any other questions.
