tutorial: paint chip book

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last month with some friends I swap with the challenge was to cover a journal and make tags using paint chips,

ya know like you get from the hardware store.

So I decided to bend the rules a bit and just make a journal out of the chips.

I have only used my bind it all that I have had since 2009 a handful of times.

I got the bind it all down dusted it off and made some pretty cute little journals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

supplies I used:

-bind it all/coil

-crop a dile corner rounder

-wire cutters

-chipboard

-computer paper

-paint chips

-glossy accents

 

 

 

 

trim down your paint chip, chipboard and paper to 4 x 5 1/2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

from 5 pieces of paper you will get 20 for the journal

 

 

 

glue your paint chip to 1 piece of your chipboard

{you should have cut 2 pieces of chipboard for the front & back of the journal}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

trim the bottom corners of the chipboard & paper

 

 

 

punch the holes with the bind it all into the top of chhipboard and paper

 

 

 

match up the holes

 

 

 

Measure the binding and cut

 

 

 

 

slip the binding through the holes

 

 

 

 

 

place it all in the bind it all and squeeze

 

 

 

 

 

and viola you have a cute little journal

 

hope you enjoyed!
