Coffee Break Craft item - Mini Brag Book

Hi Crafters

Today more ideas to use your 6 x 6 stash of papers.

I have lots of pads bought when on sale, so this quick coffee break craft is ideal to use up some of the papers in my box.

Simple take 8 sheets of 6 x 6 and fold in half with the 
white side out. Place on your craft mat and glue one on top of the other.
After you have glued 4 together take a fine piece of ribbon about 8" long and glue onto the page on the binding side with about 3 inches of the ribbon inside the page and the rest outside the book.
Continue adding pages until you have the eight sheets together
Cut a strip of paper 6" x  3"  and glue half to the front left hand side, fold over and glue the other half to the back of the pad . Do not pull it tight as this will act as the binding for the booklet.
Next cover the front and back with matching papers cut 6" x 2.5" wide.

Add some beads or embellishments to the ribbon at the side to finish your booklet.

You can make these very quickly and decorate as much as you wish. They make great litle swaps or gifts for friends. 

Tomorrow I will show you how I added this booklet to a folio album using more of the same pad for a coordinated waterfall photograph section.

Happy Crafting
Dee
