So, lets get started! The first thing you want to do is paper your Accordion Book. I used some paper from my stash is some colours that I liked. I used the 6 x 6 accordion book and also used 6 x 6 paper, so it made it very easy to paper. This is a fun project, and there are 10 pages in the book to decorate any way you like.

 

I used my craft glue to put the paper down first to start my album.

 

 

Once you have papered your book, then it is time to start adding the embellishments. I first started by layering on some laces and trims. Once I was happy with the laces on the cover, I added more embellishments and my image.

 

 

Now its time to play with our Sticky Snippets! I layered on the sprays, drying each layer in between until I was happy with how it looked.

I used the Distress Spray in Pewter to do a cross hatch effect on the Sticky Snippets.

 

 

I used the stars to add dimension and interest to the cover.

 

 

 

I also added some bling from my stash to add a bit of sparkle.

 

 

I added some of the gorgeous and sparkly Prima Holly leaves in a rose gold colour to the front of the book, and also added some Petaloo flowers as well.

 

 

 

 

 

A resin angel, that I added some glitter to, and some pearls and bling from my stash finished off the cover nicely.

 

 

Next, it was time to paint up my wood embellishments. I used various colours of the Prima Art Alchemy Paints. There is a wide variety of colours in this line, so use your imagination and get creative! I am using wood from Fernli Designs for this project.

 

 

I continued on with my pages, adding laces, trims and more embellishments.

 

 

I kept in the same colour tones with each of the pages to keep the theme of the Winter Angels going.

 

 

 

 

 

I also added a ribbon tie to the front and back covers by tucking the ribbon under the paper for a good strong hold.

 

 

As the book turned out to be so thick with all the embellishments, this was a good solution to keeping it tied shut, but it also gives the option to display it open as well.

 

 

I left a couple of the pages blank, as this is going to be a Christmas gift for a friend, and she can add her own touches to it, or some Christmas photos of family and friends if she likes.

 

I added some laces and trims to the last few pages and she can finish them off to her liking.

 

Here is the book open, you can see it would make a lovely display for the holidays or any time of year.

 

 

 

I had a lot of fun with this project, and I hope you will give one of the Accordion books a try!
