I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been saving them for awhile, waiting for a use to arise. I dyed the interior accordion with black walnut this past January and thought the two papers would work well together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I finally got the motivation to measure, cut boards, and glue the book together. I realized I could use the scraps as end sheets, but reversed, so they appear on the cover. The main consideration was what to use underneath to cover the boards. I had to be able to stick the first and last sheets of the accordion to it. So I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t use bookcloth, but some much flimsier mauve paper with some ribbing and a bit of sheen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It turned out well enough, although the accordion paper is not quite sturdy enough or big enough to allow the book to easily stand up. I might glue some of the interior pages together for more structure. A bit glue-happy with my new friend, wheat paste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also there was a failed experiment with microcrystalline wax involved. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m lucky the book survived. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A little book 4\u00e2\u20ac\u009d high x 3-1\/4\u00e2\u20ac\u009d wide.
