Miss N had a close friends birthday party this week and I created yet another handmade book for a gift. I took a different turn to my "normal" books this time and made a book using a pair of old jeans that were once spoiled by bleach. I am thrilled how it turned out (as was Miss N) and her friend.
Close up of the fabric flower. I ran each flower piece through the big shot and different textured impressions embossing folders for an added effect.
Materials list:
Cardstock: Lucky limeade
Accessories: Big shot, textured impressions embossing folders - square lattice, houndstooth, perfect polka dots, wisteria wonder bakers twine (autumn/winter mini catalogue)
Other: Old jeans, sizzix leaf die

Wow! What an awesome gift!

I used stampin' up's big shot multi purpose adhesive sheets to adhere the fabric to the flowers for stability (before running them through the embossing folders) and I stuck the flowers and felt leaves down (onto the denim) with tombo multi purpose liquid glue

Did you use a "Bind-It-All" to create the spiral bound book?
