The perfect size to slip into your junk journal, this mini hollow book is a great place to stash a special piece of ephemera. I'll show you step by step how to create the book and give you some tips for decorating it. Scroll down for some links to supplies used in this project.
+++++++
Some basic supplies you may need. Remember, you are only limited by your imagination so you may think of or have other materials that will also work. If you come up with something I haven't mentioned please drop it in the comments!
Chipboard (new or from packaging)
Brown Packing or Kraft Paper
Scissors
Handmade or other Thick Paper (linked below)
Patterned Paper (scrapbook, digital, wrapping, anything!)
Book Page or more Patterned Paper
Glue (stick and liquid)
Thin Fabric or other semi transparent item like wide washi tape or a piece of vellum
Decorations and embellishments of your choice
The fussy cuts and digital paper are from a journal kit found in my etsy shop. This kit will transport you to a victorian house turned library haunted by a seemingly friendly ghost. Is all as it seems or does the house have a darker history? Check out the kit (which includes everything for a cover, pages, and ephemera) here: giggleglittergfxs.etsy.com/listing/1728788869
Book Titles and Wax Seal are from the Book Envelopes Kit : giggleglittergfxs.etsy.com/listing/1760446565
