Alphabets Book

Size closed: 6"sq x 1.5"thk
I have soooo much paper and cardstock I decided to use some of my 12" x 12" and make a miniscule dent in my stock... so picked a dark blue, pink, cranberry, light blue, olive green, yellow, turquoise and grape. Cut them in half and folded in half.

The covers are a cream toned cardstock folded in half for added strength and hiding the ends of the glued ribbon binding.

Punched 4 holes in each color signature and bound with a similar color 4ply wax linen thread over the 1.5" polka dotted ribbon. The ends of the ribbon woven under the slits I cut in the covers and glued on the inside.

Title written out in a funky lettering with a ZIG Writer.

I've already filled over 1/2 the book with funky alphabets..
