I made a fabric covered notebook as a gift for a friend of mine. The notebook is A5 in size. I covered the notebook using cream felt and then I used a white lace fabric to cover the felt. I cut the flowers out of wedding appliques and arranged them on the lace fabric and then I glued them down onto the background using Fabri Tac glue. As there are sequins on the appliques it gives a sparkling effect and looks very pretty
I bought the image of the lady from Etsy and printed it out onto Inkjet canvas then I cut the inside section out of a cream coloured doily and used that to frame the image. I then glued two layers of white gathered lace around the edge of the doily and then adhered the whole section down onto the background. On the spine of the book I added some pretty white guipure lace and a cream coloured trim. Underneath the image I made a bow using a pale cream organza ribbon and a white flower applique and I added a pretty rhinestone embellishment, then I added a cream tassel. Using guipure lace I trimmed around the three edges of the notebook on the front and back and then I used pearl trim to give the cover a finished look
This is so beautiful x
