Meander Books
What is says on the packet.....
Now this was something new to me, found it in an article in an American magazine. Very clever, very unique, special, fun to make and you can add exactly what subject you fancy, and I did..............
Simply put, how to make a meander book
Take your pictures
Take your words
Take the paper, glue, tape, embellishments, imagination
Start by drawing or painting your pictures, photo them and add them to the computer into a document ready for the words
Then add your poetry, prayers, thoughts on each picture like you were writing a book
Print them off on card so that they are more durable and cut them out
Choose your paper for your meander book
Cut it to size making a square 4 x 4 5 x 5 6 x 6 etc etc (you need 8 of the squares)
Paint the card if you wish for the backgrounds
Sew the pages together with a large zigzag stitch, leaving a gap to allow the pages to close together without puckering using a multi coloured thread always adds to the artisticness
Stick on your pictures, words, embellishments to both sides of the pages, using a mixture of glue and double sided tape
Fold it all up
Hey presto a meander book individually yours
Pages can be of any size (square) and of any number it is up to you
If you do not paint or write then cut things that take your eye out of magazines
