Watercolor Wash Mini Book & Bookmark Set!

Welcome to my May project for Craft Project Central!  Are you addicted to mini books?  Do you use your mini books as art journals, small scrapbooks, places to write your dreams and fears?  With all of these reasons to keep mini books around, now is the perfect time to learn how to make them with some simple supplies.  No special bookbinding techniques necessary!  In this tutorial you will learn how to bind a book using adhesive, paper and ribbon.  The possibilities are endless for changing up this mini book!  You can change the color scheme, change the size, or change how many pages you include.  This set also includes a matching bookmark.  What a great set to give as a gift to anyone who could use a place to capture thoughts, memories, or drawings!  Get the full step-by-step instructions by subscribing to the month of May at Craft Project Central!

Teacher Appreciation Gift Ensemble! –  Liz Miller

As the school year is coming to an end, this Teacher Appreciation Gift Ensemble is sure to be a hit!  Everyone knows how hard teachers work right?  So they should be spoiled, and what a better way than to make them something special!  This gift ensemble highlights the Botanical Gardens Product suite and includes a Desk Scratch Pad Holder, Small Legal Pad with Matching Pen, Giant Clothespin, and a Frame!  I know all my daughter’s teachers in the past have loved receiving handmade items that have been made with just them in mind.  So much more personal than a store bought gift!  Get the full step-by-step instructions by subscribing to the month of May at Craft Project Central!
