Before you start: - We recommend using a CraftTex Craft Table Protector to help keep your work surface clean. - Peel the protective film from the Bubbalux Craft Board before use (film is on one side only).
How to make:
1. Trim out two pieces of Bubbalux, slightly smaller than the original cover of your notebook.
2. Emboss the Bubbalux pieces using the embossing folder.
3. Rub some Nuvo embellishment mousse over the embossed areas, a little at a time.
4. Use the sandpaper to rub back some of the raised areas, so the original white shows through.
5. To create the stitching, trace around the parts you want to stitch with a pencil or erasable pen and sew it by machine or hand. As Bubbalux is quite thick, try using a needle suitable for thicker fabrics.
6. Once sewn, glue both pieces to the cover of your notebook.
7. Added some details with Nuvo Drops and a sentiment sticker or two.
