The Sweet Things digital kit contains all the pieces and parts you’ll need to create your own seven page book, including general instructions for assembling each page. To make your book, you’ll need:

• From Ten Two Studios, the Sweet Things Book Kit.

• A printer, and cardstock, index stock or bristol. I printed my sheets on 67lb. bristol.
• A glue stick, or your favorite paper crafting glue.
• Printed paper to use as a backing, if you wish.
• Ribbon or lace scraps for decorations. Also, ribbons for binding.
• Rhinestones, sequins, or glitter glue for embellishments.
• A craft knife and a hole punch.

Book Assembly Instructions
Arrange folded pages in the order you’d like them to display, stacking them with folded sides to the left. Set the stack to one side.

Place the two folded pages on your work table, folds facing each other. Apply glue to the backs that are facing you.

Press the backs together, lining up all three edges. Press well.

Place the glued pages down on the table, and grab the third set. Apply glue to both blank pages, and press them together.

Here’s what you’ve glued together so far. The pages are glued back to back. Keep on gluing, adding pages, until all the folded pages have been attached. Let the glue dry.

Cut two short pieces of ribbon, and glue them from front to back, around the spine, about half an inch fom the top and bottom edges.

Cut a longer piece of ribbon, and glue it just to the back, leaving a long tail that can lap over the whole front.

Print the cover sheet on cardstock, and cut the pieces out. You’ll need two covers, a colored matte square, and an ivory word or blank square. (The blank is provided so you can stamp your own design or word if you wish.)

Glue the front and back covers in place, covering the cut edges of the two short pieces of ribbon.

Glue a colored matte square to the front cover, centering it.

Glue the long tail of ribbon over the square, and trim it to the desired length.

Glue the word or design you’ve chosen over the ribbon.

Tie three bows, and glue them to the front cover, lining them up with the ribbons that cover the spine.

I edged the squares with a little gold glitter glue.
