Accordion mini book

Hello everyone, Henriëtte here and I have another fun project to share with you today.

It's this coin envelope accordion mini book.

I found a tutorial on you tube on how to make it here.

For the book I used thick chipboard. After I cut all the pieces I decorated the chipboards

with papers from the Eclectic charm collection. 

Before glueing on the papers on the front panels I added two circle die cuts 

with a brad. This is the closure.

All the edges of the booklet are painted gold with Maya paint.

Next I made the coin envelopes. You can buy these or made them yourself as I did.

I made a template and cut out 8 pieces from the Eclectic charm papers, 

assembled the envelopes and cut out half a circle at the top of each envelope.

Then I added a touch of gold on the edges using Maya gold paint.

Using strong adhesive tape I connected all envelopes together and into the booklet.

Only tape in the middle of the envelopes.

This give a fun accordion effect.

I also made eight tags to put in the pockets.

All tags are embellished with Eclectic charm ephemera pieces.

To finish I added a piece of natural twine to close the mini book.

Thanks for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog.

Hugs, Henriëtte.
