This was made from a recycled manilla folder. I saw this on youtube awhile ago and this months "Cloth Paper Scissors" issue has one as well. I am only showing the front cover since its a scan. All the collage elements (cept the puzzle piece) were all things that came as inside or outside packaging from mail I received from art swaps; postage stamps in the mail, that lovely card (is that not the coolest card?) and the antique wrapping paper. Of course I also used Jim Holtz's tissue tape... love that stuff.
I have made these before with my clients, they are relatively easy to do and make great tag holders since the inside of the folder has pockets.
In the past I did not sew it together, just used glue so this part was new to me. My sewing machine was not enjoying sewing through this paper and the thread kept breaking.... no matter how many times I adjusted the tension. . Now the machine won't work at all... grrr tension!
