Recipe book

6th of December 1pm

In this class we will cover an album for use as a recipe book. It is in landscape orientation and is perfect for adding your own recipes printed or hand written on A4 cardstock, with some extra trims so it fits perfectly into the ring bound album. There are also plastic pockets so that you can securely add recipes saved from magazines.




You will need:
Two pieces of patterned paper for the covers.
One piece of velvet paper for the spine.
One piece of ribbon or twill tape.
Three large accents (I used houses, but you could use almost anything).
Alphabet for the title (My title is "recipes from our home").
Ink for your edges.
Xyron little X to attach your ribbon.
A4 cardstock for Index pages and recipe pages.
Assorted cardstock and patterned paper to suit your colour scheme, to use as strips on the recipe pages.
Any special recipes printed onto your A4 cardstock in landscape orientation.
Wet glue.
Craft knife.
Paint for your chipboard accents.
Dimensional Magic.

Techniques used:
Covering chipboard.
Inking.
Paper piecing.
