The Rest of My Halloween Book

Hi everyone. Happy Friday. It's already the last Friday in October , but  in some ways I'm also thinking it can't possibly still be October. Grin.Right now we are having some beautiful weather. I think because fall weather seemed to have arrived a bit late this year so we still have a lot of color, and even a bit of green, for late October. Plus, no frost at my house yet, although some places in New Hampshire just had frost the other night. That's thrown me off, but I shouldn't talk because chilly temperatures are due to arrive Sunday.😏

It's time for Nicole's  Friday Face Off  and Gillena's Friday Lunch Break .

Today I am going to share the rest of the pages in my Halloween Bingo book. You'll notice it has  lots of faces in it.  But first, since some of you mentioned you wanted to see how my book is bound, let me show you that.

This first photo shows the bound edge. I used some fairly wide ribbon and lots of red line tape to bind it. The ribbon is folded in an accordian style; taped to hold the 2 sides together, and then attached to each page .

Above, you can see that I folded the ribbon together and then used some red-line tape on the inside to create a tab. 

In this  photo, you can  see an already made tab.  It has the red line tape on the outside of it. The red line tape side that you can see will be stuck onto the next page of the book I am inserting. I am working from front to back, adding  each page one at a time.

The binding isn't tight, meaning the pages can wiggle up and down a bit. It still works nicely holding the book together. Probably the only thing I would change if I ever bind a book this way again is that I would stitch the tab folds rather than using red line tape. 

And if you're not familiar with red line tape, it is a  double sided tape that comes in various widths, including the 1/4 inch width I used. A good red line tape is super sticky and is a great way to connect fabric  since it doesn't leave globby marks that glue as it soaks through the fabric would. 

And here's the rest of my pages.

The left hand page has the binding attached to it, and the right side page is bound on the opposite side.

And here's a few close ups of some other pages I haven't shared before.

The skeleton head sticker was the perfect size to cover the actual face in this last page on this above page.

And finally, let me end with  the front cover.

That's all for me today. Have a great start to your weekend, and thanks for stopping by to visit.
