Chinese book with greetings

Hello Fellow Crafters,

This is a relatively simple craft project and one that is an unusual card for someone special.
  • Firstly print a greeting and insert photos onto a piece of A4 paper on landscape mode, the fold this into a concertina shape
  • measure your first page of the concertina and make two mount board pieces slightly larger
  • cover these with a pretty paper I used handmade paper
  • make two little slits into the centre of one of them and thread through enough ribbon to go around the book twice
  • thread this through leaving the ends on the outer side.
  • now stick the first and last page of the concertina onto the mount board.
  • Finally close the book and wrap the ribbon around twice.
  • It sould fit nto a foolscap envelope for postage.
