Directions: |
Step 1:
Cut the template out of cardstock. The template has the inside of
the book facing you. If using patterned paper, make sure the part
you want for the inside of the cover is facing you when you trace
the template. Also trace and cut the inside page using the template
or the measurements of 2 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches. You can make as
many pages as us desire, noting that the more pages, the thicker the
book.
Step two.
Score and fold the book cover on the dash lines.
Fold the page in half crosswise.
Step three.
Stamp and embellish the book cover, inside and out as desired.
Also stamp the pages front and back.
Stamp a coordinating, small image to go inside the bottle cap.
This image will need to be about 1 inch in size.
Step four.
Using a 1-inch circle punch, punch out bottle cap image and put it
inside the bottle cap, sticking it down with a small piece of O'So
sticky tape. I then used Crystal Lacquer to coat the image and
sprinkled on clear micro beads. You can also punch a
1-inch circle from the paper-backed sheets of O'So sticky and cover
the image with the O'So sticky and sprinkle the micro beads onto the
image. Put a small piece of O'So sticky tape on the back of the
bottle cap and set it aside. You will adhere the bottle cap to the
front of book in the last step.
Step five.
Line up the pages with the horizontal flap matching the fold in the
horizontal flap and the page. Punch two holes along the fold for the
fiber to hold the page in the book. Or, you can just tie the fiber
around the center fold to hold the pages in place. Tie the fiber.
Step six.
Fold the book up see how much too long the bottom flap is going to
be now that the pages are in place. Fold the middle flap over the
pages and the bottom flap over the whole thing. Fold the pointed
flap down.
Step seven.
Position the bottle cap to act as a closure for the pointed flap and
adhere to the bottom flap. That's it.
But be forewarned, once you make one, you will want to make bunches
all sizes.

Notes:
I found this idea on a website a couple of years ago, printed it
off, and filed it away. I pulled it out when I needed something for
the bottle cap swap and started to fiddle with it. The original
premise of the book was to take an 8 1/2 X 11 inch piece of
cardstock, fold it in half lengthwise and then fold it into three
equal parts crosswise. If you open the paper up in the and number
the squares from the top left hand corner 1 thought 6, you cut off 1
and 5. Cut 2 to a point and tuck it into a slot in 6. You add pages
the same size as 3/4, getting 3 pages per sheet of paper. But it
doesn't come
out even. 6 wasn't flush with the top edge of 3/4 and the point is
too long.
I played with the dimensions and came up a template. King Brian took
my drawing and created a really nice template for us to use. Thank
you King Brian. If you want to make a larger book (or smaller),
start with the original book concept of a sheet folded in half and
then thirds changing the 3 crosswise folds as needed.
