I was recently mentioned on Just Trying For Little Girls Blog for giving her the idea of making her own bib-folio. She did an awesome version of it by using a pre-made scrapbook. I wanted to show you how I made mine. It is easier than you think and takes about 10 mins.
Supplies:
Elmer's Bi Fold Foam Board, Markers, X-Acto Knife, Letters, Glue Spots, Ribbon, 2 Rings, 8 x 8 scrapbook page insert.
Step 1: Use X-Acto knife to slice apart bi-fold foam board. You can get this in black too, I believe, instead of white like mine. Decorate using markers (or stickers or paper). I like my designs pretty simple but be as elaborate as you want!
Step 2: Place title on board using letters. The letters I used are almost like a post-it note so I used the glue spots to secure them and make them 3-dimensional from the board. I put Run, you could put Tri, Bike, Fun, etc. I then wrote in "my racing bibs" above it.
Step 3: Using your X-Acto knife and page inserts, place holes in front and back of foam board. This is not an exact science! My book has a larger cover than actual inserts, but you could trim it down if you wanted. I just did not feel the need! :) Insert rings through back and front covers and page inserts.
Step 4: Knot ribbon on rings for some decorative flair! :) You cannot really tell in my picture. Sorry!
All done! |
Pretty simple and pretty inexpensive! A great way to preserve and show off all that you have accomplished!
Love it! Yours turned out awesome, and way more creative than mine. I hope to see some other bloggers follow your lead, can't wait to see what they come up with.
