Steps
1. Decorate the metal sheets by stamping with the rubberstamp and StazOn ink. Let dry.
2. To make the book cover, lay a chipboard rectangle on the reverse side of a stamped piece of metal. Use scissors to cut the metal ½” larger than the chipboard. Fold the edges around the chipboard. Repeat to make second cover.
3. Fold the long strip of paper, starting at the center, back and forth like an accordion to make six 2¾” pages. Glue the ends of the accordion paper inside the front and back covers hiding the copper edges. Fold the ribbon in half and sandwich under paper at back of book.
