Altered Recipe Book
By Debi Devitt
It had no binding at all, and the back cover was missing completely. 
But I knew I could do something with it, so I paid a dime for my little treasure and smiled in my heart at what I had just found. 
I knew I needed a back for it, and I just so happened to have some of Tim Holtz, What's Cookin' cardstock left in my stash. This paper has such a vintage look. Thank you, Tim, this was a perfect solution. So I covered a piece of chipboard the same size as my front cover with the Tim Holtz double-sided paper. 
Next I knew I wanted to add blank recipe cards to the book. So I took my new toy - the Zutter Distrezz It All . I was able to distress all of these recipe cards in just a few minutes. 
I thought I'd be able to bind the book together with my Bind It All , but alas the holes were off just a bit and it wouldn't work. Lucky for me I happen to have this old comb binder hanging around and it was a perfect fit for the holes in my altered recipe book. 
I bound the book together and inserted my blank recipe cards throughout. 
I put it in my Etsy shop. Return from Altered Recipe Book to Altered Books |
