Make a worms head and tail from green clay and insert an eyepin into each one.
Cut a length of green ribbon – length should be equal to the height of the book plus a couple of inches for fastening.
Thread the ribbon through the head eyepin and fasten with a cord crimp. Repeat for the tail end then trim any excess ribbon.
Supplies:
Cut 3 rectangles of felt – 1 coloured, 2 white. Lay the 2 white rectangles on the coloured one an fold all 3 in half. Stitch through all 6 layers to form the book.
(You may need to trim the ‘pages’ after they’ve been folded.)
Sew one end of the ribbon to the inside of the back cover and add the crimp to the other end
Add your charms etc. to the crimp and personalise the book cover
I can post this now, as I heard from the rafflecopter winner of my swag bag this morning and she has received the package.
“when u say swag bag u meant a legit swag bag lol!!! super excited. my mother in law is super jealous so I have to share with her so thank you for sending so much!”
I made a paper bag with ribbon handles, and a parchment note card so I could write a short note to the winner.
I made three different bookmarks (see yesterdays post), a miniature notebook keyring and a flip-book with book covers and author details.
(All the authors gave their permission for the covers and info to be used)
They all went into the bag.
I have a collection of bookmarks, postcards, business cards etc. from various authors and had some duplicates, so some of these went in.
Finally, I threw in a couple of fridge magnets and a small bead doll… just because!
The first bookmark is a papercut owl on a tree, with googly eyes and some cord.
The second is is a beaded ribbon bookmark, with a ballerina charm.
The third one is a magnetic bookmark.
