Binder Mechanism Project

So in the july's NOOK kit we had a binder mechanism give us & i have just found inspiration in using it. What you need is a few bits of pp, cardboard, your binder mechanism & any other embellishment's you may want to use. & its easy!!

Here's what i collected, echo park pps yeah!

Cut your pieces of cardboard to the required size & glue them together

Cover then with pp

Just one side, as this side will be coverd by sticking it down onto other pp

Like this

Add the other side of the folder paper, each paper i used 12 x 9.5

So you have the access of the back over lapping the front cover, you'l see what i mean in a minute, & the access on the front, you'l fold over like this
Photobucket

Then i googled a star shape, printed it out & used it as a template for the front cover

Your project should look like this now, see what i mean by the back page of the folder over laps the front?

I then added the binder mechanism by using hot glue & random brad's

I glued on the star & added the title with some sticker's & some stamp fonts

The flower is a hair band, but its also a good thing to have to keep your folder closed when stored

Thank's for looking
