Fortune Cookie Books
Join us this month as Carol Mikkelson teaches an easy technique for covering book boards by making a “Fortune Cookie Book”. We’ll be using Oriental inspired papers to cover an accordion-style book, collaging the inside pages using clip-art, stencils, and rubber stamps, and putting it all together into a fun, and easy project.
Supply list-
* Bring a bone folder if you have one. If not, bring a spoon.
* Fiskars-type paper cutter. Bring a scoring blade, for Fiskars paper cutter if you have one. If you don’t have this type of paper cutter you will also need an Xacto knife and a cutting mat to cut cardstock. Also bring any Asian themed papers or ephemera for added charm
* Small ruler
Remember, we all like to share, so do not be intimidated if you do not have everything on the supply list!
Members in good standing free. Drop-ins $5.00. We welcome new members and can't wait to meet you!

Thanks for your note Cathy I may have to work which is why I changed my rsvp. I probably have enough for a book. If my work situation changes regarding the time I may still be there. I am working on rescheduling my work for a different time later in the day but not sure yet. Thank you.

Carol, thanks for showing us how to make these beautiful books! I have a feeling I'll be making quite a few.
I also just want to thank everyone for a lovely morning. Co-creating with all of you for nearly a year now has been wonderful and life-enriching.
