February 11, 2018 handmadebase

Holidays in the year are many. But, probably, not every product can be a universal gift for every holiday. Are you sure you will agree with me? But that's not true, in this master class I will prove it to you. And we will create a beautiful notebook. It is notepads, in my opinion, and are the most universal gifts for all occasions. And we will produce a notebook in the technique of scrapbooking. Are you ready to proceed? If your answer is positive, then we will begin right now. But first we should prepare everything necessary (material), namely:

block for notepad with Coptic binding;
shebby ribbon;
brads;
scrapbooking paper;
thread in the tone of the fabric;
fabric plain cotton;
fabric with a pattern of unbleached cotton;
skeletonized sheet in the tone of the fabric;
ink pad with brown paint;
a picture on paper;
flower for scrap;
sintepon;
cardboard for binding or ordinary cardboard;
half-beads;
double sided tape;
Leaflets for scrap;
Adhesive transparent to fabric;
paper for the fly-leaf.

Well, is everything prepared? Then immediately and get down to business. As the basis of the notebook, we will use a ready-made block with a binding. You can do it yourself, but this is a very long process, plus a special machine is needed for smooth trimming the edge of the block. Such blocks can be ordered and bought, for example, in the printing house, or in specialized needle shops. We measure the size of the width and length of our block - the base. According to the width and length of the block, we begin to measurerectangular pieces on binding or conventional cardboard. The only thing we need to add is about 0.5 cm from above, from below and from the side. Let's cut these details out on a self-healing mat with the help of a sharp clerical knife and ruler. Now let's move on to another element-the width of the binding. We measure it. Add to this value is about 3 mm. Then on the cardboard we measure the width of the binding, taking into account an additional 3 mm, and the length is measured equal to the previous rectangle. We cut out this detail as well. So, we have to prepare three parts for the blanks. Since I used ordinary thick cardboard in our case, I took two sheets and glued them together, you can do the same. Now let's take another loose piece of cardboard, width can be arbitrary, but not less than 10 cm, and along the length - the same as the previous blanks. We paste on it in the center a piece of a strip, which we cut out, measuring the size of the binding. Then on the opposite two sides we gluepart of the cover, having receded from the middle strip approximately 2 mm. This is necessary in order to later easily and easily bend the ready-made cover. This is the cover from the inside. That's how this part will look on the front side. Prepare now sintepon for giving softness of the cover. We decompose it into one layer. Place our prepared cardboard (blank) on top of the sintepon. And we cut the sintepon with allowances on all sides for 2-3 cm. Then, gently distributing the sintepon, we will stitch the blank from the cardboard side over it. We cut off all the edges of the sintepon, pointing at the cardboard with sharp scissors. This is how you should look at the preparation of the basis for the cover. It should be free to close, without stretching. Now go to the front of the notebook. To do this, prepare two pieces of fabric. We iron them with a hot iron. We impose cuts of tissue on each other face to face. With one of the sides we will create a fabric, so we get two different sides of the notebook on the color side. The front side, if necessary, is ironed additionally. We have a cardboard base on the center of the seam over the underside of the fabric. We paste two-sided adhesive tape as shown in the photo. Then, after unfastening the back side of the tape, we fix the lapels of the fabric, bending them inward. And then from the front side along the edge we will detach the cover at a distance of 0.5 mm from the edge. The fabric should not be drawn, it should be free. Prepare the paper for scrapbooking and drawing. Cut a small piece of paper that will be less than twice the size of the cover. Shape the edges of the paper and the drawing with a brown paint using a stamp pad. We use the machine to sew paper along the edge. Then, going to the tuned paper, we adduce and illustrate. The skeletonized leaf is pinned with the help of brads, and its apex is slightly planted on the glue so that when using the notepad the leaflets do not bend. Prepare a tape and brads of a small size. Gently along the edge of the tuned paper, we pin the tape randomly with brads at the same time, gluing it in some places with glue. From the bottom we will glue two leaves for scrap. Over the glue is a beautiful three-dimensional flower. Prepare the paper for the fly leaf. Let's double the sheet. We glue one part to the block, let it dry up. And the second part is glued to the back of the cover. We'll put something heavy underneath. The notepad should dry. All is ready!
