1" Book Pendant

Hi - just messing around.

I put this post together on Valentines day 2012! and it got lost in my drafts folder.  This is great if you have old correspondence that's dear to you - you don't want to part with it AND you don't want to share the contents with others.  Cut it up, bind it and put it on a chain to wear over your heart.

1" miniature book

This 1.25"x 1" mini-book was made with:

- scraps of chip board 

- 18g silver craft wire
- rubber stamp
- metal corners
- metal eyelets

- metal craft charms
- deckle edged ruler

- screw punch (a small hole punch would work)
- vintage envelope and letter

Cut chip board to size (in this case - 1.25" x 1"), stamp, drill holes.  Cut the pages from the envelope and letter (in this case vintage) to fit the book - deckle one edge. Drill the holes in the chip board and attach eyelets.  Using the cover as a template, drill holes in the paper.  Wind the craft wire around a dowl or the handle of a large paint brush and screw into the holes in the book. Put the craft charms on a ring and hang from the binding.  The assembly is pretty easy
