While starting to assemble this project per the instructions, I decided to alter it a bit. Instead of just using the fabric for a loose cover, I decided to wrap it (like a book cover) around all the edges, so the whole thing is taught, secure fabric. I wrapped the fabric around folded cardstock. Back in elementary school we used to make books like these but with wallpaper...anyone else do that?? It's kinda the same idea. I found it to be faster and easier to deal with (specially since I don't sew!). I also decided to tie the ribbon in the front instead of to the side, but do whatever you like best!! :) I then printed the inside of the programon yellow paper and glued it (with spray elmer's glue) onto the cardstock (on top of the wrapped fabric).
This is the first one I made...so it's a bit rough, but let me know what you all think!!! I really like how it looks....
