Oriental Toilet Roll Tag Book

I squashed the toilet rolls down, painted 3 red and 2 gold. I added patterned papers to them and cut the tabs for the binding.

Decorated the fronts with my handmade embellishments.

I didn't want anything too big.

As I didn't want to cover up all of the papers.

Tags slightly pulled out of their pockets.

Vintage Style Toilet Roll Tag Book

Squashed five toilet rolls in half, painted the edges both sides with brown umber, raw umber and titan buff.  I also made five end pieces out of card to house the wires.

Decorated the pages.

Used some of the clusters I'd previously made.

A ticket tag housed inside one of the pages.

More previously made clusters.

Added some of the handmade embellishments.

And the back page.

Tags inserted in the open ends.

And some of the sleeves are decorated with a few different papers.

Another pocket for a mini tag.

And finally the back page.

A couple of the larger tags.

And the backs to add any journaling.

And I also put a pocket on one of the larger tags.

I'm really pleased how it turned out and it's so colourful.

A Little Thank You

If you recall, Pat very kindly sent me some of her Merino wool tops and she has also made purchases from my Etsy shop, so I wanted to make her a little thank you gift. She told me she uses notebooks and loves to make lists.

This one is A5 size and has the same pattern on the insides and back of the book.

These are some of the inside pages.

This is another sized A5 with gelli print papers on the front and back.

Some of the inside pages.

Back inside cover, another gelli print but on deli paper.

And this one is rougly 4" x 4.5" and it's covered in a gelli print onto deli paper.

This is the inside of the cover and first page.

And the back, or it could be the front!!

I  hope she likes them, and above all I hope she uses them.

Note Books from Off Cuts

I made these little note books from the off cuts of the gelli prints and the plain paper I put in the journal and beaded books in the previous posts.

Mini Book

Over at Artful Times we are asking to see your mini books and I mean mini, measuring at largest 2" x 3", which is what mine is. I used a JoFY stamp with distress in markers for the front and decorated with a piece of burlap and a button.

And for the back I used distress ink markers too with a TH butterfly stamp and sorry, have no idea who the word is made by.

For the inside pages I used various handmade papers.

Hope you can find the time to join in. Don't forget, the winner gets a £10 voucher to spend at Oyster Stamps.

More Gelli Print Makes

Sets of envelopes with matching notelets.

Little mini books with gelli plate covers.

And then them put into sets.
