Take one collage sheet = Paris mini book

Hello, Katrina here form a very wet, cold, grey England!! Yes it is our summer but so far it has forgotten to turn up! I thought I would challenge myself to just use one collage sheet and make something using as much as of the collage sheet as I can. I decided to make a little accordion book that uses very few materials. This would be ideal to make with children, now the summer hols are almost upon us here in the UK. I chose the Paris theme but any theme will do. Here is how I did it

You will need your chosen collage sheet ( I used Bits of Paris 842 ) a strip of card 12 inches long by the width of your covers, 2 covers ( I used Eco board twinches ) and a piece of ribbon.

Apply double sided tape to the centre of your covers and stick down your ribbon. As my covers are 2x2, I scored my 12x2" strip of card into 2" and folded it into an accordion.

Use a wet glue to stick your covers onto your accordion card

Cut the images from your collage sheet and then I like to play around with them until I get something I like.Ink around the edges of the images with brown Paris ink pads, then stick them all down.
