May Arts Ribbon and mini books…the perfect combination!

This accordion book is decorated on both sides - it is nice to give mini books without pictures - the recipient can easily add favorite photographs. This book will hold wallet-sized pictures.

.

Ribbon is:
- wrapped around the first page vertically
- on the “happy photos” page wrapped around horizontally
- tied with a simple knot
- tied on a tag and on a button
Materials used: book - Maya Road, papers and embellishments - Chatterbox, felt words - Creative Imaginations.
.

Word books are wonderful keepsakes that can reflect a
crafter’s personality…this book will hold both 3x5 and 4x6 photos.

.

- Combine 2 different types of ribbon on a page. One adhered to the front, the other wrapped all around the page.

On this small 4th of July book, I only added one big ribbon to the ring-
- Red ribbon on a red ring can add a great punch.
- The red will draw the eye and people will need to pick up that book!

One way to hold the tree shape book together is to “tie a yellow ribbon…”
