Cloth Paper Scissors Winter 2018 Online Extra: Holiday Cut-Out Book

In the article “At Home in the Wild” in the Winter 2018 issue of Cloth Paper Scissors, Lisa Ellen Evola shows how to make a nature-inspired book with cut-out pages. Instructions for how to bind the book are included in the article; the diagrams one and two provided here illustrate how the two signatures are sewn into the cover.

The opening pages invite you to look inside and share a family’s holiday.

Lisa’s handmade journals tell stories of her experiences, both real and imagined. In the Winter 2018 issue, she shares an adventure she had in the wilds of northern Michigan.
