Video – Miniature ‘Aviva’ Lap Book – Construction of Cover – Part 1

Video – https://youtu.be/HUf9MBIadPU

Hello friends,

Today, we are beginning the series on making a miniature lap book journal similar to the Grungy Spring one I did. In this video, we will be putting together the cover using chipboard. Additionally, we will be doing a crackle effect on the whole cover and the inside. I will show you the settings on my printer to get your digital images to be small enough for this cover. It is important that you print them the way I indicate in the video, otherwise other things will be off. Of course, you could figure out the size you want and design your cover to fit that. Lastly, we will select our signature paper and get them prepared to be bound.

Dimensions :
Set print settings to 25% of original size (my original size was 97%)
 
Cover – 1 5/8 x 2 3/8 inches (2 pieces)
Pages – 1 3/8 x 2 1/8 inches (2 signatures/6 pages each)
Main spine – 1 x 2 3/8 inch (1 piece)
Small spines – 1/2 x 2 3/8 inch (2 pieces)
Inside covers – 1 3/8 x 2 3/8 inch (2 pieces)

Come back for Part 2!
