Fold out Pocket Book for Memory Keeping

Description

In this class, you will be learning how to create a cute Fold out Pocket Book, the design resembling the fold out dolls houses made from paper. Our Fold out Book is going to have lots of pockets, which makes it perfect to hold bits and pieces of ephemera picked up on a holiday, a day out, or a special occasion. The Fold out Pocket Book would also make a beautiful gift for a special person in your life. These Fold out Pocket Books are easy to create, but look really stunning when completed. In this class, I will be using as many recycled papers and materials as possible and encourage you to do the same. This class is suitable for beginners, and you might find most of the materials needed around the house.
