- Cut a 1 strip from the
5 x 7 Excel Mat Board.
- Lay the two pieces of
Excel Mat Board next to each, leaving a 1/8 gap.
- Cut a strip of black book
cloth 1 wide.
- Use Great Tape
to adhere the book cloth to the 1 piece (spine) and the larger cut
piece. Maintain the gap, because it will become the hinge.

the top, and one half inch up from the bottom punch two small holes
½ apart.
- Cut 6 pieces of paper
for the inside pages. Punch holes into the paper that line up with
the 4 punched spine holes.

to attach the rattan, spine cover, and inside pages
of the book together.
- Cut two pieces of Japanese
Fishwrap Paper for the insides of the cover. Attach with Great
Tape.

polymer clay. It should be about 1/8 thick and 2 square. Stamp image
into the clay. Allow this to dry thoroughly. (Air, heat gun or toaster
oven.) Paint the clay with Perfect Paper Adhesive and

- Cut four squares from
a piece of black card stock. Coat the paper with Duo Embellishing
Adhesive and let dry. Apply Gildenglitz - Variegated
and brush off excess with a Texture Sponge.

and gilded squares together with Great Tape. Attach
