Today we realize by following some simple and practical instructions, we can do a job of cardboard crafts to decorate a personal diary. For this you need a cardboard sheet (2,5 mm), 2 sheets, a newspaper extension, a knife, scissors, a flat brush No. 40, glue and raw red tape.
For the cover what you should do to decorate the boxOr, it is to cut two cardboard rectangles the same size as the journal, leaving two inches in length and the same abundance in length. For the cardboard frame instead, cut the same size of the cover, minus 4 cm for the height and 4 for the width. The thickness of the weft should be 2 cm.
Regarding the cover lining, cut the paper to a natural sheet as wide as the extension of the two covers, in addition to the measurement of the back of the journal of the majority of 6 cm and as long as the cover plus 6 cm in excess. For covering the structure, cut from red paper, a sheet as wide as the frame is more than 6 cm long and wide.

He made two small incisions on both covers, using the knife. We go through the tape with the help of the scissors blade or the knife itself.
Stretch the glue around the perimeter of the paper that protrudes from the two cardboard rectangles as in this image from the gallery, then fold over these, pressing with your hands so that it is fixed correctly. Then glue the book cover, this time using glue (2 parts PVA glue and water).
Fixed before the back of the journal and then the front. Proceed as follows to cover the frame: glue on the paper, placing it in the center of the red sheet of paper and then leaving 3 cm at the top and at the bottom as an abundance. Puncture the center of the sheet with scissors and pierce four X-shaped cuts.
Fold the paper around the edges of the frame, glue with universal glue. Fixed, always with the universal glue, the long sides and the base of the cover frame. From above, not glued, you can insert a photo or a card to make your diary unique.
