july mini book

on july 1st, i had the idea of creating a mini book that would document the entire month through pictures. i decided that i would take one photo a day using my fuji instax camera.

this is how i created this mini book in case you want to make a similar one.

1. i cut two pieces of thick chipboard. the dimensions were 3 inches wide and 4.25 inches in height.

2. i cut 17 pieces of heavy kraft paper in the same dimensions. (i wanted to have a few extra pages just in case i wanted to journal or add other things)

3. i used my Bind It All to punch the holes and bind it together. i used a 1/2 inch wire but i'm going to have to switch it to at least an inch very soon because it's getting very big.

4. i used a date stamp to stamp each of the pages.

5. i used my hand carved stamps on the cover with staz on inks.

I am securing the pictures with double sided tape and then adding a strip of washi tape on the top.
