Flip Flop Flag Book
By Jaine Drake
My friend Jaine made this flip flop flag book for me last summer for a swap on our Yahoo! group. I liked it so much I asked her to do up the instructions to share with all of you! Materials needed:
Patterned or plain scrapbook paper to cover the outside and inside of board One piece of 6 x 12 cardstock Three pieces of 6 x 4 cardstock (All of the 6 x 4 and 6 x 2 cardstock will come out of one piece of 12 x 12) Three pieces of 6 x 2 cardstock A yard of ribbon 
Cover the bookboard with the patterned paper, snipping off the corners for a neater finish. 
Lay the ribbon across the back cover and lightly stick down with tape. 
Fold the 6 x 12 cardstock accordion style making 7 folds. To get the best result fold once in half, open out, then fold each each into the centre. Open out again, turn over and fold each edge into the next crease. 
Glue each end of the accordion onto the front and back covers. 
Glue patterned or plain scrapbook paper to the inside of both covers. 
The pieces of 6 x 4 and 6 x 2 cardstock will make the flags or pages. The flags will be glued to each side of the mountain folds. The larger cardstock pieces are glued to the top left side of the fold, and the smaller pieces to the bottom right side. When the book stands up the flags face in opposite directions 
Here are the photos of the completed Summer Themed one she sent to me. 
The possibilities for mini scrapbooks with this are endless! Return from Flip Flop Flag Book to Flag Books
