Welcome friends to my blog today!
Well you all know how much a fan I am of making books.
This one was
inspired by the wonderful Caterina Giglio.
She has an excellent You Tube video on how to create
one of these mini concertinas!
Go check out her video here: https://caterinagiglio.blogspot.com/…/mini-fabric-concertin…
This little book requires simple sewing skills
and you can choose any theme, words, buttons, ribbons, laces, cards and findings that you so desire!
The beautiful metal heart and the holy card came
from Rhonda of A Little Bit French Shop - Thank you so much
Rhonda for these!
She really has a beautiful collection of kits at the moment
which would be ideal for creating one of these
little concertina books!
I used a lovely vintage cut lace linen tray cloth
for mine which I dyed with Parisian Essence
to achieve this color but you may
also use tea, coffee or natural dyes
for your little project!
My poem here I printed and backed with
a tea bag giving more depth of color!
Whatever theme you choose it needs to be
what is meaningful for you
or
it can be just a little fun piece
where you can use up your precious little
pieces of scrap laces and doilies!
I know it will be one I will make over again for sure!
