Life Tips Graduation Book

The best gift anyone can give a graduating student is life advice. This book will do just that. Using the Crafty Chica™ Collage Journal™ Workshop-in-a-Box™, you’ll have everything you need to make one. Decorate the cover to match your favorite girl or guy, and then pass the journal around at family gatherings or parties so everyone can take turns writing life tips and worldly wisdom! This idea also works great for any other event, such as a wedding, baby shower or birthday!

Instructions

1. Cover work surface with plastic cover. Pour a puddle of Red or paint color of choice onto a piece of foil. Paint the collage journal from the Workshop-in-a-Box™ and let dry. Add an additional coat if necessary.
2. Cut out the image of the queen from the picture included in kit and use the glue from the kit to adhere the queen to the bottom right or desired location on the front cover.
3. Pour a puddle of White paint onto foil. If using foam stamps for lettering, apply paint onto stamps and press onto journal, spelling out “Life Tips for the QUEEN GRAD.” If freehand writing words onto cover, write lightly with chalk, then use paintbrush to paint over letters. Let dry. Use a small, thin paintbrush to accent letters with Black paint. Refer to photo. Let dry.
4. Pour paint color of choice onto foil, then use paintbrush to paint “rays” around lettering. Let dry, then paint glue over rays and sprinkle Blue glitter from kit over glue. Refer to photo. Let dry, then tap off excess glitter.
5. Use glue to adhere stars and crystals from the kit randomly around journal cover. Let dry.
6. Glue the word cutouts from magazines (life, love, career, money) to snippets of paper from inside the kit and glue them to papers inside the journal, creating four sections that look like chapters.
7. Brush Glossy Gloss Varnish™ over the cover to make it shiny. Let dry.

Peace, love, and glitter!
