A Flag Book is one of those projects that looks a lot more complicated than it is! It makes a beautiful keepsake that both scrapbookers and stampers will enjoy making. I will talk you through making the one on the right here, and then you can adapt it as you like. This finished book is 14.5 cm square.
Flag Book
Cut two pieces of card 14.5 cm x 14.5 cm for the inside covers.
Cut another piece of card 14.5 x 12 cm for the spine.
Score this piece of card for the spine every 1.5 cm with the score lines running parallel to the 14.5 side.

Now concertina fold them into shape, as if folding a fan.
Now place it on the table so the right and left side pieces are pointing up, and put a strip of double sided tape on the edge sections.
Now stick your inside covers onto these sections, lining them up just inside the fold.
Cut two more pieces of card 14.5 x 14.5 for the outside covers, and attach them to the other side of the inside covers, and decorate.
You could do without the inside covers, but I think it makes it neater, and gives the book a firmer feel to have them.
Now we are ready to make the ‘flags’. Please click the button to go to the next steps.
The stamps used in the top book are from the With Gratitude and Lovely as a Tree Stampin’ Up! Sets, which are available here.
