Wine-Label Scrapbook

Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza unveil a great idea for a wine-label scrapbook to help keep track of your favorite vintages.

Wine-Label Scrapbook

Materials:

2 7"x8" chipboards (front and back of book)
1 3"x8" chipboard (spine of book)
awl
small craft hammer
lacing and needle
book pages
paper glue or tacky glue
scrapbook embellishments
1/2 yd. cotton fabric or cork
2 pieces heavy-duty cardstock
7 Gypsies handbag book (modified)
ribbon
glue gun
2 hinges (included in 7 Gypsies set)
foam brush
paper or fabric (wine-inspired) to cover book
wine labels
ruler
Sharpie marker
hand drill (optional)

1. Glue the paper over the chipboard from 7 Gypsies' kit, making sure to leave at least 1/2" of extra paper to fold over the flap.

2. Using an awl, make two holes on the side of each chipboard and attach hinges (figure A).

3. Cut the cork sheeting to fit as an inside book lining.

4. Using binding thread and a needle, attach the pages to the middle piece of cork (figure B).

5. Attach the larger pieces of cork to the inside sides of the book with hot glue (figure C).

6. Attach the ribbon to the two inside sides of the book; the ribbon will become a fastener for the book (figure D). Tuck the ribbon edges under the cork to create a clean finish.

7. Attach the pages to the book by hot-gluing the cork to the spine (figure E).
