This month for Second on the 2nd I decided to share a second look at a postcard book…well, actually two books…I created to hold my postcard collection.
The original post was dated July 13, 2011. Come along for a trip down memory lane with me.
This spring I got back into swapping postcards on Swapbot. Of course, they have other things to swap but I’ve had the most fun with postcards.
Who doesn’t love getting mail, right?!
What do you do with a big stack of postcards to make them a little more fun…
You make a book!
This book was a great size and had the perfect title.
I made 3 tiny signatures and attached them to the cover with a pamphlet stitch. I used a dry adhesive tape runner on the front side of each of the postcards to “tip” them into the book.
These postcards came from all over the globe…
Places such as South Africa
New Zealand
Slovakia
And as close as the next state.
Years ago, before starting this blog, I made my first book to hold my postcards.
Kind of a cheesy title….
But I was happy with the the way a bound the signatures as well as attached envelopes to hold some extras. Good thing too…the pockets are filled to the brim now.
