Quirky Dutch Summer

Quirky Dutch Summer is a series of weekly blogposts at Marit’s Paper World with inspiration and tutorials.

In week 6 Willy Duit showed us how to make a book with envelopes. I made it some time ago, but had no time to blog about it. Staining the envelopes with tea didn’t work, so I used tea dye ink to add some colour to my envelopes.

I bound my book with 3 wooden buttons.

I’m not sure what to put in the pockets of my book yet, time will tell!

I made pockets on the inside of the covers too.

I used postage stamps and napkins to decorate my book.
