Instructions
Step 1
Start by making an album cover. Cut a rectangle out of the fabric to fit the cover of the notebook and leave 2 cm allowances. Apply a small amount of PVA glue to the cover and attach the fabric, smoothing out any irregularities. Apply the glue with a brush.
Step 2
Use glue to secure the top and bottom corners of the fabric to the endpaper of the notebook. After that - glue the top and then the bottom edge of the fabric. Glue the sides of the allowances last.
Step 3
Start decorating the cover. We glue different types of braid around the edges: first on the sides, and then on top and bottom. Glue three types of braid on the sides, place the widest one at the edge, it should be the brightest; then comes the thinnest braid, take the third braid a little already the first and more openwork. Decorate the top and bottom edges with thin tape, neutral in color.
Step 4
Decorate the cover with various decorative elements: cut out the part you like with flowers from the card (it will be the most voluminous) and fix it with glue in the lower left part of the album cover; in the upper left corner, place a metal decoration for scrapbooking, for example, a bird on a cage; place another floral motif in the upper right corner. Decorate the rest of the cover space with paper leaves and fabric flowers: there should not be too many of them. Fix everything with Moment Krystal glue.
Step 5
Let's start decorating the endpapers of the album. Make the base for them from cardboard with a volumetric pattern and glue it with glue. You can also use ordinary colored cardboard or fabric. Glue the edges of the endpapers with several types of braid: along the edges - a more saturated color.
Step 6
For the production of landscape sheets, use thick colored cardboard. Use a hole punch to punch a hole so that you can insert into the rings. Decorate the pages with flower-themed stickers. Determine the number of album sheets yourself.
