Heat well the Worbla sheet and pass through the die cutting machine using the Chevron embossing folder. Set the folder to one of the sheet’s corners. Make sure that the Worbla is heated well and you use the correct plates on your machine.
Cut the Worbla sheet to the length.
Heat a bit in the center and fold, creating a semi circular spine.
Cut two small pieces of the remaining Worbla sheet.
Heat the small pieces and use them to secure the binding rings to the center of the spine inside the cover.
Using the StazOn inkpad, distress the chevron design of the cover.
Lightly colour the paper flowers and the wooden moustache with the sage and desert sand inkpads.
Cut a 40cm long piece of the Chevron stripe ribbon and glue it in the center of the cover. Continue with a small piece of the satin ribbon and the paper flowers.
Using a piercing tool open holes and set the gears with brads. Continue with glueing smaller gears and adding round rivets
