Nowadays, many people use bullet journals, travel diaries or small notebooks as a constant companion. There are many ways to make your personal book even more individual. In this manual we have given a simple notebook a special charm with the help of Fimo leather. Fimo leather can be kneaded and processed just as well as one is used to from Fimo products, after firing this special Fimo gets a leathery effect.
And this is how it's done
First select your book, which you want to refine and measure it. With the help of a rolling pin you can thin out the Fimo leather. If you want a very smooth surface, you can roll over it a few times with an acrylic roller. For straight edges you can use a Cutter useOnce you are satisfied with the shape and thickness of the fimo plate, pull it slightly apart to maintain the leather look. By pulling, the fibres of the material will stand up and the desired look will be achieved. Important: Only pull in one direction, otherwise the effect is cancelled out. Afterwards the finished banderole is cured in the oven at 130 °C for 30 minutes. Please note that the oven should be covered with baking paper. Let the formed book banderole cool down well before decorating further it
As soon as everything has cooled down, the sculpted sleeve will take on its leather-like appearance. Now you can decorate your book cover with colours, scattered parts or glitter. Finally, with the help of Handicraft glue attach two magnets for closing and your individual and personal leather cover is ready.
