Introduction
Sometimes when we go through our closet, we find out many things which take us back to a journey of the memory lane of our lives, among them postcards are much lauded. These are not used that much in recent times, but they are still adorable to observe, especially the small notes and greetings that these postcards carry.
You can easily use postcards to make books, rather than disposing of them. So today, we are going to introduce a technique of how to make a book out of postcards. This will be much beneficial for making good use of these postcards. These little books can be easily accommodated in your pocket, and you can also take essential notes in them.
Requirements
For this process at first, you will need the postcards that you will use for the entire process, next you have to get some new papers which will be used for the writing and the note-taking purposes, the will act as the central part of the project. You will need two types of tape, the first one the masking tape, and the second one is the transparent tape. You will also require a stapler for attaching the papers and, last but not least, a ruler to mark all the dimensions.
Procedure
To make a book out of postcards, you will need some simple tools that we have already mentioned. Once you have gathered all of the tools, you can start the process. First, take two postcards that you won’t use as the cover page of your book. Place them next to each other, making sure that they are aligned perfectly. Then, take the masking tape and measure the width of the tape.
The gap that should be kept between the two postcards should be one-third of the width of the masking tape. Now we attach the masking tape and connect both postcards leaving the gap in them. We cut off the extra part at both the edges. Now we have to take the transparent tape and use them in the same manner as that of the masking tape, but the transparent tape should be used on either side of the middle to make the spine of the postcards stronger.
We have to take the papers that will act as the inner page of the books and cut them to the size of the total cover page. Then we have to fold them from the middle and place them with the coverage. We have to make sure that both the new pages and the postcards are correctly aligned. Now take stapler and pin the new pages with the postcards along the spine of the books. Thus you will get a new book made out of postcards.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we hope that the mentioned process of making books using postcards have been much help to you, and you can easily practice this technique in your home, this will make good use of these elements. And the DIY skills of the beginners will also get a good improvement. Happy crafting! Have a good day!!
