How To Bind Books Using Divine Twine

Hi all

I have been meaning to make a junk journal and discovered a simple way to bind books with Divine Twine.

1) Take and old hardcover book and cut out the page using a sharp knife.

2) Depending on how many signatures you want to create will depend on how much twine you will need but it always works out at double  the number of signatures. I used 5 on my journal so i did 10 lots of twine that where the length of the book i used. Leave a extra length or two at either end so that the book can be tied together.

3) Once you have your lengths of twine, tightly wrap them around the spine.

4) Take the left end of the twine and thread it through the signatures at the back of the book. Gather the right end of the twine and tie a knot.

5) Next gather up your papers and any interesting mail and fold it all into a booklet. This is then threaded through the signatures and held in place with the twine.

6)  Fold a few Itty Bitty Bags in half and thread through the twine with the papers. These make great mini books and pockets.

7) Decorate your pages with bits and pieces.

Scrapbook layout Wonderful

Hello crafty friends

I wanted to get back into scrapbooking and spotted the new 12 x 12 paper pads from The Works. This one is called Magic Moments and has mixed media backgrounds.

1) Add gesso to the base using a brayer to get the distressed and smudged look.

2) Add a few stencils to the background using modeling paste.

3) Cut up a strip of drywall tape and place around page randomly.

(4 Spritz and flick media misters over the page.

5) Using the Journaling stamp set from Sin City Stamps, Apply textures randomly around page.

6) Paste strips of white tissue across the page using gel medium. Think paper mache and that is sort of the idea here.

7) Begin chopping up a few 12 x 12 sheets of coordinating papers. There are no rules or measurements involved in this bit just pure experimentation. Try adding different textures and scraps to the layers to achieve a different look.

8) Mount your photo onto cardstock and build the final layers around it.

9) Decorate the page and add a title

I used white divine twine and spritzed it with different inks to create a rainbow effect.
