What better way to celebrate the joy that comes from reading
than by creating an altered book? Whether for a friend, a loved one, or
a special treat for yourself this imaginative book is easy to make, using
Tag Art Cut-Outs™. The tags are a great embellishment and create
the perfect place for journaling or special touches like photos.
Supplies:
Instructions:
- Shauna cut out two rectangles of tan words paper to fit the book pages,
then used a computer to print the title on one piece. She inked the
edges of both pieces, then glued them to the book pages.
- Next Shauna cut a paragraph from a page in the Alter-able book and
inked the edges. She printed a poem on vellum, then added words cut
out from the book text. She attached both pieces to the right page,
using brads for the vellum.
- Shauna added a tag to the top left corner with fibers. She also added
photos and art to three tags of the same size, then attached them together
with a fiber and tucked them into a mini vellum envelope. She attached
the rusted key to the fiber. Shauna then placed another tag with fibers
near the poem on the bottom right page.
- Shauna also added embossed paper tape-style fragments on the tags,
mini envelope and book text. The fragments add contrast, texture and
help to tell the story. She finished the book by tying fibers around
the center of the page.
