homemade believe book


after the thread on ukscrappers kept coming to the top after getting lost among the other threads i thought i would put the instructions on here so they dont get lost again, hope they come in handy for lots of people.

here is how i made it:
type your word, lets say xmas, using rockwell bold font, using 550 as font size and print out onto paper.get some mountboard or similar, longest bit should be 13 inches long and about 6 inches high.cut the letters out. place the s at the end of the longest card and draw round it lightly, trim the width of card so its the same size of the s, now cut the s out but only cutting out the first half of the s, repeat this with the a,m and x, make sure you trim so they are all the same width.now lay the word out making sure there are even spaces for each letter, now cut the excess card from the other end where thew holes will be, holepunch, place bookrings in and away you go.hope you all can follow this.have fun,jackie
