Mini Brag Book
|
I first heard of the term brag book from my best friend Luchi in Chicago. It’s supposed to be some kind of trend for wives/mothers to carry one around. But you see, not all women carry a big purse. Some prefer compact sling purses. So I thought of this little project. Instead of the snap purse brag book that holds 4″ x 6″ photos, I’ve used a business card album.
Thanks to my Japanese neighbour Misa Imai, whom I’ve mentioned in a previous post, I had the luxury of choosing among her wide array of exquisite quilting fabric. I picked this one by ChanteClaire which is perfect for this Play Moments Mini Brag Book project.

You’ll Need…
business card mini-album
quilting fabric with kids’ theme
self-stick round velcro
double-sided tape
white or coloured card stock
white glue
Let’s Begin…
- Iron fabric and cut to size, leaving enough allowance for folding at least half an inch all around.
- Stick one side of double sided tape on front and back of the album.
- Remove tape protector and stick fabric (excluding excess) onto album making sure it’s adhering nice and flat. (one side at a time)
- Cut allowance around the bone of the album and apply just a touch of white glue to edge to prevent threads from coming loose.
- Fold excess fabric on front and stick to album using double sided tape. Do the same for the back.
- Cut card stock paper (about 2 1/2 ” x 4″)and adhere to finish insides of both front and back cover pages.
- Make an album belt (about 3 1/2″ long)by using card stock paper covered in the same fabric.
- Use double sided tape to secure belt to back of album. And for the front, use round velcro.
- For your photos, crop-copy-paste to fit business card template on Word.
And there you go, your book is ready.. start bragging, hahahahaha
