Project 3
"colours"
I removed the hard cover, from the back as it was difficult in the front, glued my printed paper on top and outlined the squares with a pencil. NOT having a square punch I had to use a funny sort of star shaped one...in the exact spot of the outlined square. You will see in the photo attached. I then put the cover back through the spirals....The pearls were so hard to put on as the cover is big as are the pearls and kept messing me about. Flowers are hand made as I made 6 with the printed papers.
