Good Morning Diane! Thanks for the tip on using up old game board pieces that is such a good recourse because in most cases they end up in the landfill. Looking forward to this series I had no idea what these where all about, thanks for sharing. I hope your having a beautiful week, take care!

[@shawcraft1]

[@lisebedard7247]

How do you sew your signatures into that thick hard spine ?

[@shawcraft1]

The same way you do in any other one. You just use a long needle! It's really easy

[@kathleengill1273]

This is so interesting but I think it's too much for my brain Diane. I'll enjoy watching you make it but not me kiddo!

[@shawcraft1]

I know, right! It's very labor intensive and it makes my brain hurt sometimes too lol. It took me forever to even consider making one because I knew it was going to be time consuming. But here I am haha
