Happy 2011!
We thought we would start off the New Year by announcing our new guest DT girl. This month we have Giuli Primavera all the way from Italy!
Visit her gallery to see the complete mini-book from her tutorial below, as well as some inspiring layouts.
Step by step project by By Giuliana Primavera - Mini Album 5" x 5" VENICE THROUGHT MY LENS Mini album 5”x5”
Supply List (for 6 pages)
- 6 heavy cardstock squares 5”
- 12 fabric squares 5” ¾
- 18 eyelets ¼ ”
- your favorite Hambly Screen Prints papers or overlays
- some trim or ribbon for binding the album
- nail polish remover and some cotton balls
- bone folder
- iron
- sewing machine
Let’s start:
Iron all the fabric squares. Open the window and protect your work surface before you start to work with the nail polish remover. (you may also want to wear gloves for this)
Place a piece of silk-screened Hambly paper on the fabric and, with a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover, blot on the entire surface. For an better print, don’t move the pattern paper when doing this.Carefully lift the pattern paper off the fabric and let it dry completely.
You can also transfer the design onto the fabric by an overlay.
Put some nail polish remover in a spray bottle.
Spray generously on the back of overlay.Press on the fabric and with a bone folder, use your overlay like it is a rub-ons.
Is that funny? =)Lift the overlay and let dry.
Now you're ready to assemble pages.
Insert the cardstock between two squares of fabric and sew.
Prepare as many pages as you like.Done! Your album is ready.
You can use this technique directly to the paper, like on the corner of this page from my Moleskine travel journal.
Be sure to visit Giuli's blog & gallery to see more of her work, and all the pages from the mini book she created above.
