To
make the inside of the matchbox
use a piece of 5 ¼ inch x 6 ¾ inch paper. Score the paper at 7/8 inch on each
side. *Tip: Score on the inside of paper (what will be the inside of the box).
Make horizontal cuts on the 5 ¼ inch x
6 ¾ inch paper but stop on the vertical score marks. Put the Tombow Xtreme Adhesive on the little
squares on the outside so you can adhere them inside of the big rectangle.
Create the outside of the box with a 10 x 5 inch piece of paper. Score at 1
inch, 4 ½ inch, 5 ½ inch and 9 inch. Apply Tombow
Xtreme Adhesive to the corner of the score mark at 1 inch and adhere it to
the inside of the big rectangle to create your box. Now decorate your box! Wrap
the yellow tulle around the box and tie it in the front. Hold it in place using
a Tombow Adhesive Dot. Use the Tombow Xtreme Adhesive on the back of
the tag and place it on the box. Glue the burlap bow with a Tombow Xtreme Tough Tabs and glue a
button on top using the Tombow Adhesive
Dots.

Cut all the pieces for your
book and fold them in half. Use a piece of paper to make a template for the
holes on the spine. You are going to make holes at 1 ½ , 2, 2 ½ , 3 ½ , 4 and 4
½ inches. Place this paper on the center of the bundle of pages and hold it
with a paper clip while you make the holes using a paper piercer. Then remove
the template to sew. To thread the twine, it helps to put a little bit of the Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Glue on the
tip. Leave at least 3 inches of twine outside the third hole to make a bow at
the end. Start sewing, from the outside of the spine you going to get in
through the third hole (at 2 ½ inches). Once inside you go up a hole (at 2
inches), and when you are outside go in through the top hole (at 1 ½ inches).
Then go back down to the 2 inch mark and go back in through the 2 ½ inch mark.
Go out through the fourth hole (at 3 ½ inches), then back in to the one below
(4 inches). Get back out through the last one, then up to the 4 inches hole and
finally go out through the 3 ½ inches hole and tie a bow with the pieces of
twine. Now decorate the brag book using the Tombow Xtreme Adhesive, glue the brag card, the tag and the ticket.
Tie a bow on the twine on the tag and add a clothespin. To glue the flair
button use the Tombow Xtreme Tough Tabs.

Start by coloring the skin with
the Irojiten Color Pencils using a
soft circle motion. Start with the darkest color next to the hair. Then
gradually use lighter colors. Don’t color the eyes and lips yet. Then use the 020 Peach Dual Brush Pen to blend the colors
on the skin. For the makeup use the DL-06
Hummingbird as a liner, the DL-05
Verdigris under the eyebrow and the rest color in VP-05 Asparagus. For the lips, color with F-01 Plastic Pink between the lips and on the corner and color the
rest with VP-02 Almond Blossom when
you are done blend it all with a 761
Carnation Dual Brush Pen. Now move onto the hair, color the green strands
of hair first and then color the brown portion of the hair make lines on the
hair with the darkest color but just a portion of the hair (always leave a
space without color so the next colors can look lighter) then using a lighter
color pull that darker shade into it to blend it. At the end always use the
lightest or scribble with the lightest shade you have on a Blending Palette and use the Colorless
Blender to make an even lighter shade and use that at the end. Finally use
the Tombow Adhesive Dots to glue the
flowers and add the Crystals.

Run
the the Tombow Xtreme Adhesive on the wooden frame. *The Adhesive is very strong
and running it through the cork might break it. Remove the backing from the
cork and place it on the frame. Take the backing off the piece of trim and
place it on top of the paper semicircle. Cut 1/8 pieces of the Tombow Foam Tape and place them around
the bottom of the semicircle to create a pocket. Keep them close together. Once
you are done place it in the bottom of the frame. Glue the die cut to the paper
on the frame using the Tombow Xtreme
Adhesive. *Don’t put the glue on the top part that floats above the frame.
Finally add enamel dots.

Using the Tombow Xtreme Adhesive glue the paper on the paper bag and then add
the day arrow die cut. Find a spot to put the cork doily and put the Tombow Xtreme Adhesive on the paper.

the same reason you should use the Tombow

add enamel dots.
