Today we had a guest come in and teach us how to make books. Sounds boring, I know, but not when you realize the materials we used. For the front and back covers, we had plywood. We covered part of both to make the first layer of the binding. We then decorated both outside covers with... well, anything. Fabric, sea shells, rocks, and jewels were most common, but there was a palm tree, moss, and a spoon. The inside was next, and most used fabric to keep it small.
Michelle (L) and Sarah:
We then created pages out of different types of paper- music sheets, cardboard, construction paper, etc, just about any type of paper you could get at an art store.
My book:
All of this was held together with two types of glue mixed together. We let them dry for the next few days before taking them back to our apartments. Overall, it was a lot of fun and I'm glad we did it.
