The Fashionista and her little black book: $65
Class Description: This chubby little book is 3” X 3” X 5” inches tall. It may be small in size, but its 36 pages are stamped and packed with cutouts, charms, envelopes, tags, etc. Learn to make this simple book cover using black chipboard and book cloth. Each signature of pages will be tied in with lush ribbons of rayon and dupioni silk. Charms will include the “Vintaj” closure and a red quartz dangle. We will share our tips for attaching trims for a finely finished look.
BYO: Lunch + scissors, 1/8 inch hole punch, glue stick and any other adhesive of your choice & red line tape. We will be using a Japanese hole punch and will have several available for classroom use, but if you have your own, you won‟t have to share. Please be sure to have your name marked on it.
