Add bright color and tangy flavor with a splash of fresh raspberry pure. Contrary to popular belief I didnt use felt for my quiet book pages. I used Pellon. If you like felt youll love Pellon. It doesnt stretch or loose it shape and it doesnt get little fuzzy balls all over it like felt does. I would have made my entire book out of Pellon except it only comes in white as far as Im aware anyway. Back in the day when my mom made quite books she did the entire thing out of Pellon and painted all the pictures and pieces. Theyve held up extremely well over the years and are still like new. Ive tried painting Pellon for a previous project and it isnt easy, so I opted out, but tried to use it where I could. The Pellon I used for the pages was the thick non fusible kind. I also used a thin kind in other places. Pellon can be found at Jo. Anns by the interfacing and fusible webbing. If you cant find it just ask. Theyll know what youre talking about. For all the pictures on my pages I decided to use felt. Its so much easier to use than fabric since you dont have to worry about fraying or finishing edges. The down side of felt is that sometimes it doesnt hold up very well. I was putting a lot of time into these books and I wanted them to look good for along time. I was really hoping that I could find some fabulous colored Pellon out there, but no such luck. I then remembered seeing some stiff felt at Jo. Anns and Hobby Lobby and decided to use that instead of the regular kind in hopes that it would hold up better. Its been working great so far. I didnt use stiff felt for everything, but Id say I used it for about 8. Each of my books has eleven pages plus the cover page. I had too many ideas to make them the same so each book has two original pages my daughter has the ballet slipper and dress up doll, and my sons book has the tennis racket and zipper page. Theres also a kite puzzle page that I decided not to do but am providing it for you. I dont have a template for the zipper page since it seems self explanatory. For velcro I used the clear sticky dots. I made this for my sons first birthday party, but I made a few adjustments and one BIG mistake. I added pink lemonade as well. I added frozen organic fruit. These books dont really need clear velcro but I love that kind because it is so ultral thin and I thought it would help limit the bulkiness of the books. I get my velcro at Walmart. This book requires a lot of fusible webbing and ironing. I think the easiest way to do this process is to place your template under the fusible webbing and trace it. Remember to do the reverse image. Then roughly cut out your picture not on the lines. Iron onto your felt be sure to use a press cloth to protect your iron and then cut out your picture on the lines. This method is the easiest way to do it. Each template should print out on a full horizontal 8 12 x 1. Each page includes some simple assembly instructions. Most pages are done like I did my dinosaur mat here. And the moment youve all been waiting for. The templates You can view the supply list. HERE. To print templates Click on picture and then copy and save to your computer. Open in a Word document and reduce your margins to zero. Expand to 1. Circus monkey can be found HERE. You can either print it out on a thin Pellon straight from your printer or you can use iron on transfer paper and iron the image onto a thick Pellon. I chose to use the transfer paper since I already had some. Ive received comments from people surprised that I was giving away all this information for free. But this is why I created this blog, to share ideas but to also make those ideas doable for you. Please be respectful of my ideas and templates that Im graciously sharing with you. Personal use only please. Thanks And have fun If you make a quiet book Id love to see it. What Makes Pink Lemonade Pink© 2017
