Instructions:

1. Measure the length and width of the binder’s spine, adding four inches to the width. Using these dimensions cut spine cover from retro stripes fabric roll. (Make sure that the stripes go the long way on the spine) Peel back a few inches of the backing from the short side and center the piece on the spine of the binder, allowing a two inch overlap on the front and back covers of the binder. Carefully remove the paper backing as you smooth the peel ‘n’ stick fabric to the binder.
2. Measure and cut a piece of retro denim fabric roll the size of the remaining portion of the binder (front cover) adding 1” extra to the width and 2” extra to the length. Remove the paper backing and place the retro denim piece centered on the front cover (butting the edges against the retro stripe). You will have a 1” overlap of denim to wrap along the inside edge of the cover and along the top and bottom edges of the cover. Repeat this step for the back cover of the binder.
3. Measure and cut a length of the retro stripes trim the height of the binder plus an additional 2”. Remove paper back and place centered on top of front cover where denim and stripe fabric pieces butt together. Fold excess over to inside of cover. Repeat this step for the back cover of the binder.
4. Measure and cut a piece of retro dots fabric roll 1” larger than the width and length of the wood frame. Remove the paper backing and place centered over the frame. Wrapping the ends to the back of the frame. Cut out the center of the frame leaving ½” all the way around. Snip the inside four corners and fold the ½” overlap to the back of the frame. Glue frame to center of front binder cover.
5. Cut out a large magenta daisy from the retro daisies fabric roll. Peel off back and stick on a piece of red cardstock. Smooth in place. Cut out the daisy. Repeat with a small yellow daisy on yellow cardstock. Glue the small daisy to the center of the large daisy. Glue the large daisy to the top of the binder cover as shown.

Optional:

1. Cut out 2 small orange daisies in magenta squares and one yellow daisy in an orange square. Remove paper backing and adhere to the front cover of the binder.
2. Glue rhinestones on centers of flowers.
