Description:
this may be a new craft for alot of us, but dont let that stop you. Ive made 2 of these, and they are quite fun to make and collect. book Please choose from the following themes: Flowers Spring or Summer Vintage or: a combination of those themes. you need to make 1 domino book for 1 partner, As for the link Ive provided: you can make it an accorion book, so you can decorate the front and back of the pages. or you can make it like the instructions show you. Use standard weight cardstock, anything heavier will make your book to chunky. Don't use paper that flimsy paper because It wont hold up to handling. Decorate your little pages with, images, rubber stamping, stickers, diecuts, punchies, drawings, painting shipping. the is a fairly light weight item, like a matchbox, so this will be international I will ban any flakers from the swap and then the group. I have too many members to go through, so I go through profiles before I assign partners. here is the book Ive made.

oh. the book should 5 pages or more:

the one shown above has 6 folded surface spaces and 8 surface spaces in the back to decorate. you will get 2 more surfaces on the reserse side, because of the pages being glued to the domino;

I used alenes tacky craft glue and double stick tape.

black wood or plastic ivory dominos? does it matter?

Candyn29 04/17/2010 #

** You can use black wooden domonos or the ivory colored plastic ones** It wont matter much anyhow, because they will be altered. Thank you for asking that, I had forgot to address it in the swap.

This looks brilliant - Im watching just now and if I can get one made in time I'll join nearer the closing date.

the domino size Im using is about 2inch by 1 inch. I figure size may vary slightly depending on the type or brand of domino, and maybe even the country you get your domino in. So thats pretty much the estimated size.

I have never tried this before. Are you saying that the pages you make are no bigger then regular dominos are?

Candyn29 04/19/2010 #

correct, it will all fold together like a book. I am doing accorrdion style, so I will glue paper strip on one side. then i will glue the other domino to the back side.
