My girlfriend was cleaning out some of her junk and gave me a couple of these old tin tiles she no longer needed, they sat around my art room till I thought of what to do with them. I used some of the wool felt I dyed as the pages and blanket stitched around some of them for a more finished look. Then set about decorating the pages with whatever was at hand. I punched the holes using my Crop-a-Dile, that thing works great. Stitched the book together with ribbon and beads. Turned out quite nice, have some improvements I want to make on the next round.
