Recycled Box TO Book!

Hello,

Back with the finished product of which a preview was posted in my previous post.... 

SPINE & PAGES!

However this post is gonna be really long with pictures of the project in the process/progress.... Ha Ha 😀 it's funny how both the words look similar sound similar & mean similar despite being different .... 😝

Anyways.... let's get to my project.... From Box To Book.... Recycling is so satiating when the outcome is satisfying to your nerves.... 

Well.... am trying to recollect something that I had thought of yesernite before I could wind up that I would share in my post tomorrow.... but unfortunately I do not seem to recollect now.... If I happen to do later at any point of time I will make it an add on here or connect this back to the new post I would mention that in.... 

So let us go ahead with the book now.... 

First it would be better if I could post in the pictures than the content.... so that it guides me in my thoughts than waste my time as a writer & you as a reader.... cuz writers can go on & on & on about just anything but readers have restrictions :P

it's self explanatory am sure....

The video to this project would give you an insight to BEFORE & AFTER....

To begin with it was just a throwable package box whose dimensions lured me to save it from the bin....

Cut open the unwanted pieces & retained the book like structure... it had a peekaboo in the front too & that was so satisfying for a book... 

Cut the patterned paper accordingly & got my foundation readied up for the next....

It had a plastic piece adhered to the peekaboo part which I ripped off.... I wanted to make sure the window looked pleasing to my eyes before I covered it back.... Once done placed the plastic back & covered the opening....

I then readied up the spine for the book with hinges following STACK THE DECK method....  Since the center part wasn't all that spacious I had to manage my spine & pages accordingly... The space in between the pages is 1/4 cm & at the center gave me about 1 cm or 1/2 an inch... it can hold any tough embellishments there... dangling.... tuck ins.... envelopes with cards or anything hidden....

 

Once done stacked it all back to make the spine... & this below is how it looks at that point....

I then put my pocket pages together with the spine & only then I adhered it onto the main spine of the book.... it makes it a lil easier for me, since the size is smaller.... & a pre ready one.... 

It was then time for the insertions.... The Tags for the pockets....

For which I used up a lil from my piling up stash of wardrobe clothing tags.... With different brands & their uniqueness every single tag is a beauty & ONLY an illiterate of the craft would throw them away.... Whereas anyone into craft would find CREATIONS in them... 

 

So I covered & decorated them to suit the page stack.... Used pattern paper + Some Tape + washi tape + printed die cuts + rub ons to give it the look I was okay with....

Do you see those tags??? Aren't they enticing??? How can anyone throw them away??? With a lil cover up they turn out to be such beautiful photo mats or journaling spaces....

It's a masculine project that I worked on without many accessories as embellishments to adore the piece... Men like it simpler with lesser feminism.... obviously.... 

Good as a gift for a boy or a man who likes to keep things organized a lil...  

Beneath is the video to help you with an insight to it....

So there you go.... a longer post than my usual with its details & fillings.....

Am enjoying, working on these lil challenges.... & hope to work on many more....

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
