Passport cover and record book cover

Young people nowadays are very advanced, so they treat their belongings especially carefully. As they say, everything should be better than everyone else and accordingly follow the latest fashion. Each item, bag, items should all be selected with taste and not be similar to the others. Take even primitive little things such as covers for documents. What are the most important documents of a young student? This is, of course, a passport and an academic record book. Every student carries these two documents with her every day, so they simply need covers for storage. And here it begins: she’s not like that, she doesn’t like her, but my classmate has one, and that’s already a problem. But it is very easy to solve if you show a little imagination and use this master class and make passport covers and record books with your own hands. Firstly, they will be original and unusual, since you will choose the design and materials for their manufacture yourself, and secondly, the process itself will bring many pleasant impressions.We will make covers using one of the modern techniques called scrapbooking. It is quite interesting, and accordingly the products turn out to be very beautiful and unusual.
For production we will need:
• A3 sheet of light gray pastel paper;
• Two sheets of scrap paper from the theme of world travel;
• Two transparent covers, one for a passport 9.2*12.8 cm and one for a record book 11.3*15.4 cm;
• Dark brown openwork lace;
• Brown rep ribbon 0.5 cm wide;
• Two metal corners in silver;
• Two identical pictures with a fashionable girl, size 5*5 cm;
• The inscription “Grade book”;
• Acrylic stamp “Passport” and gold and black ink;
• Brown pearl half beads;
• Curved border hole punch;
• Needle with thread;
• Beige and brown cut flower;
• Tools: pencil, double-sided tape, ruler, PVA glue, scissors, glue gun.




We take the pastel and cut out two rectangles from it measuring 12.7 * 18.3 cm and 11.3 * 30.6 cm. These will be the rectangles for the base of the covers.




We lay out each rectangle one by one on a hard surface, maybe on a book, and crease it under a ruler using scissors, dividing each rectangle in half.




Both bases are ready, let's try them on in transparent covers.




We take two sheets of scrap paper and cut out blanks like these, so from each sheet we cut out one blank for each cover.




We stamp “Passport” on white cardstock, cut it out and tint it with gold ink. We have a piece of gray paper left from the base, we go along the edge with a border hole punch and get paper lace. We glue a strip of lace at the top of each blank, then a picture with a girl.




We age both inscriptions using a gold pad.




We glue them at the bottom of each cover.We sew the inscriptions on a typewriter along the edge.




Cut 10 cm strips of brown lace, fold them into pleats and sew them on by hand first.




From the top of the lace we cut off 6 cm of grosgrain ribbon and apply it to the lace, wrapping it under the picture. We sew the ribbons and the pictures themselves along the edge. Glue all the prepared scrap paper figures onto the base.




We sew each side separately with a machine.




Now we glue the remaining one decor. First glue a large flower onto the record book, then a small one, and a brown half-bead in the center. We glue metal corners at the top of each cover. We glue the remaining half beads as in the photo.




Insert the covers into transparent ones, you're done. We get such fashionable and bright covers for a young girl! Thank you, enjoy with pleasure.
