Description:

Number 7 will test your folding skills. For this swap we will be making a meander book. Two videos to share.

First, Kit Davey uses 8.5x11 paper Here Kit makes three pockets with her book. If you choose this style, please add a little tag or card in pockets.

Second, Kagedfish uses 12x12 paper Here This will make a 3x3 meander book. Hers also does not seal to create pockets.

You may choose either size.

If using double sided paper, the paper may speak for itself with the pattern. Maybe you could add some stamping or flat stickers or a sentiment to complete. If using plain paper, it must be decoratedโ€ฆ again adding flat elements to complete. A cover is not a requirement, but add if you like.

I like both styles, but am thinking the double sided paper may be easier if you are like me and have never made one before.

On a personal note, this could be challenging for me as my folding skills are sometimes a bit awkward. ๐Ÿ˜€

I hope you join me on my crazy adventure of trying new things!

Thanks for the catch @paperlover

I watched both videos. I watched the 2nd one first, of course. I found the first one moved along faster.

I do have question, we are not really adding more to each page? Just cutting, and folding and maybe adding pockets and a belly band?

Yes @AZmom875 I think adding too much, unless itโ€™s super flat, will just add to postage. But again, senderโ€™s choice as to what and how much to do. Not every page needs to be decorated..just a few random especially if using patterned papers. I liked the first one too. Love the tiny little pockets!

I plan to experiment with the info on the tutorial and see what I come up with. You sure come up with some fun ideas. Try to remember to give a thumbs up to the videos, esp if you like them.

I always do @AZmom875 Many YouTubers I highlight I subscribe to as well. I also acknowledge them when posting swaps. After all, itโ€™s their creativity that inspires all of us. ๐Ÿฅฐ
