  Step 3

  1. Trace a folded piece of copy paper on the inside edge of your vinyl
  2. Move it over 1/2" and trace it again
  3. Add 3" more and then 1/2" all the way around
  4. Cut it out with pinking shears
  *This is the cover (with flap) and it will be about 14 1/2" x 9 1/2"
  5. Edge the vinyl with metallic gold using a dry brush technique
  *This will give it an aged and gilded look
  6. Stencil on the cover with more metallic gold lightly dabbing with a dauber
  7. Cut decoupage papers to 8 1/2" x 11" and create a stack of copy paper with the decorative paper on top
  8. Draw a line down the center and stitch the pages together
  9. Make about 8 - 10 stacks and fold them on the stitch line
  10. Clip them together and add a generous amount of E-6000 glue to the folded edges
  11. Secure them in place while they dry
  12. Clip a small hole in the flap and add a long piece of twine for a tie
