How to make

Step 1
Score and fold an A4 piece of vellum approximately 1.5” in from each side edge (landscape orientation), and the same from the bottom edge to create a pocket.

Step 2
Add strips of double-sided tape to the folded over sections and attach to the right-hand side of the scrapbook spread.
Step 3

Cut some lengths of the yarn you plan to use for the project, and tie it to two rose gold tags.

 

Using black alphabet stickers, add the project name to one tag and the word ‘pattern’ to the other. Adhere the project name tag to the top left of the spread and the pattern tag to the vellum pocket.

Step 4

Trim a piece of grid paper to fit the left hand spread, approximately 6” x 8.5” (size will depend upon the size of the photo, see step 5 for reference).

 

Add rose gold alphabet stickers to the top of the paper to spell word ‘notes’. Using the pattern for reference, add details such as yarn required, number of balls, crochet hook size, etc.

Step 5

Adhere a photo of the crochet pattern below the project tag, and attach the ‘notes’ paper from the previous step next to it.

 

With a white gel pen, draw a border of faux stitches around the outside edge of the double page spread.

Step 6

If the pattern recommends you to make a tension square or gauge swatch, you can add it to another tag (this one is kraft colour from the same pack).

 

Simply attach it to the tag by adding a stitch to each corner through the tag with a needle, and thread and tie a double knot.

Step 7

Attach the tension square tag to the bottom left below the photo.

 

Top Tip: Use strong double-sided tape to hold it securely in position.

Step 8
Add the words ‘Started’ and ‘Finished’ in rose gold alphabet stickers above the notes section. Use the white gel pen to write the dates on the kraft background.

Step 9

As an optional embellishment idea, use the rose gold seal wax and the heart seal wax stamp to create two wax seals.

 

Top Tip: Make your wax seals on non-stick liner rather than straight onto the page, as if you mess up first time round you haven’t ruined your page.

 

Use a match to light the wick, melt the wax into a circle shape and press the stamp into it. Hold it there for 15-20 seconds and remove the stamp. Allow the seal to harden before removing it.

 

Use strong glue to adhere it to the page, position shown below.

Step 10
Keep track of all your crochet projects in your beautiful scrapbook!
