Mini Booklets

These mini
comp books
come 3 to a pkg
for $1


I measured the pieces
and cut them out 
with the cricut machine
then applied modpodge


 using a


I sanded the edges and corner






Now for the binding
I cut the piece
with the cricut machine
and attached with modpodge


Before I put them on I rolled them
so it would be easier to put around the curve






Once they were on
I covered it 
with modpodge
letting it dry overnight
standing up


 Now on to embellish
applied the ribbon
with double sided tape



for this one I cut a paper doily




Once it was to size
I applied modpodge 


Once it was where I wanted it 
I dabbed it into place
because I was afraid it 
would tear


 and allowed it to dry


added ribbon


and some glitz
(the glue will dry clear)




A few other designs











 Some I didn't embellish
and a few I'm not sure
yet what to put on them


I will be selling these
so I have put them in sleeves
