I got stuck into my mini book yesterday, and wanted to share the progress I’ve made (not very much lol). I cut all the paper to fit onto my scalloped journal. While I was deciding on the order, I chose to use the backside of the dark burgandy paper from my previous post, as I felt it worked better with the other 3 papers. To tell you the truth, I didn’t even look at the other side when I was in the store.
Once they were all the paper was cut and I was happy, I started to glue them on with Mod Podge. Mod Podge is a waterbase sealer, glue and finish for all surfaces. I applied it wth a normal paint brush. You can also use a sponge applicator. I then gave the paper a quick rub to make sure the ends were stuck and let it dry. I have used this as a sealer in the past, but I have the glossy finish Mod Podge which leaves brush stroke evidence quite a bit. I prefer the matt finish, which is why im using mine as a glue.
This is the basic journal without anything else attached. I dont even have the inside pages covered with paper yet. Over the weekend I plan on making more of an effort on it. I’ll keep you posted
