1.
Using die cut machine or scissors, cut shapes from colored
paper as shown on the patterns. Trim tan colored paper to
12" x 8" size, then fold in half across the width
to measure 6" x 8".
2. Trim several sheets of white paper and a piece of vellum
for first sheet so that they are smaller than the cover. Fold
all sheets in half.
3. Punch two holes in the cover on the fold line about 1"
from the edge. Using the cover holes as a guide, punch two
holes along the fold line in the inside sheets.
4. With the vellum as the first sheet, align the sheets inside
the cover, then thread raffia through the holes. Tie a bow
on the outside.
5. Draw the pattern for the Roman border on heavy paper, then
