I started making these bookmaking kits several years ago and let them gather dust in my inventory. While packing for an art show this past summer, my friend suggested that I bring them along to add to my booth. I did not see how it could hurt. I lovingly placed them alongside my other books and was surprised to see it become my number one seller at that particular show. These kits are now a staple in my inventory and I am pleased to let you know they are also available in my Etsy shop.
Each kit comes complete with (6) sheets of blank text paper and (2) sheets of decorative paper.
There is a detailed instruction sheet that comes in every kit. Yes...it includes images! A friend (who had never made a book before but was able to work well with his hands) offered to sit down with me and make a book so that we could provide you with a complete set of instructions that make building this book a breeze! There were a few tears but I am very proud of the outcome.
Here is what the books looks like when it is complete! The top view is the book when it is closed while the final image is the book when it is open and the covers are joined together to make the 'flower.'
I also have a little secret...I have another boookmaking kit in the works! I have a few more quirks to work out in the instruction sheet but I am pleased to announce that I will be showcasing that book on my Facebook Page next week!
