SUDOKU GAME BOARD BOOK

This is my third book I have made with an open spine binding for my FTB class.   This time I cut up a Sudoku game board and used it for the covers.   I am pleased with how it came out although it is not perfect but good enough for me. 

It measures about 7" square and is just perfect for a little book to journal/collage/write in.   For the binding tapes, I used black leather pieces and then sewed Cavallini paper tape on top of it.   Then I added some Sudoku wood numbers on the edge for decoration because they are a part of the game.   For a closure I just used a girl's elastic hairband which was the perfect size to hold it all together.   There are seven signatures in it mainly comprised of watercolor, cardstock music sheets and ledger papers.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to visit my blog and I hope you have a great day.

    I love this! The size is perfect. I'm looking forward to cutting up a Candyland game for my next FTB journal. You've inspired me!
