The students decided they’d like to use the second class to create a book made of cardboard. Each student agreed to bring to class five pieces of cardboard, and I brought back the magazine stew and other supplies.

These little books are easy to make, we use paper medical tape to wrap the edges and then bind the pages together. Most of the cardboard is covered up with collage materials and we didn’t worry about priming the pages.

This book is in its way to being a sample for an upcoming class. I want to add focal images and quotes, add colorful washi tape to the page edges and ribbon to the spine.

It’s a quick method to make a book that’s appealing to the eye and to the touch.
