Picture
Choose some colourful wrapping, newspaper, something you've drawn yourself to cover the card. Wrap up the card, cutting the corners to make it neat.
Picture
Use some lovely tape or something 'sticky' to make the spine AND choose a colourful insert for the inside of your book
Picture
Make sure you use a STORYSHACK stamper!
Picture
Attach a tag or too if you like or not at all....
Picture
Make some holes in your card WHERE you'd like your pages to be. Here they're a bit like calendar pages but you can fold the paper and put them down the spine too.
Picture
Make some more holes in the pages and tie a bow...this way you can add more pages as you write more to take them out-it's your book so do what you'd like.
Picture
This one has envelopes in because it's going to 'house' some letters to fairytale characters I think...though that might change tomorrow :-)
Picture
Your cover is ready to decorate . Don't forget to add your own name-you should be very proud of your own handmade book. All you have to do now is decide what to put in it.
