here's the outside, just a normal book...

and open it up all ready for page protectors, photos, tickets, postcards and more!

supplies:
-vintage book like a dictionary or encyclopedia (make sure it is large enough to hold the things you want to put inside)
-3 ring binder mechanism
-2 book pages to "wallpaper" inside covers if desired
-strip of kraft wrapping paper to "wallpaper" book middle
-favorite adhesive (i recommend glue stick)
-rivets & tool
how to:
-remove the insides of your book carefully, so as not to damage the cover.
-if "wallpapering"/covering the inside covers with paper, choose decorative paper or 2 book pages from the book insides and adhere to the cover.
-for the middle of the inside spine, cut a piece of kraft wrap and adhere to book.
-let adhesive dry.
-place binder mechanism in desired place & mark with a pencil.
-drill holes and rivet into place.
-ta-da! now just add page protectors, photos and memorabilia!
happy friday!
xo, carly
