You can easily transform old or new books, binders, photo albums, day planners or guest books into very beautiful works of art. All you do is wrap Lion Brand®Homespun® yarn around them, then personalize them by gluing on fun things that apply to the book you are covering.

Personalizing memory books can be a lot of fun. For instance, for our baby book, we have cut out an old greeting card, then glued lace and trimming around it to frame it. For our wedding guest book, we glued two ribbon appliques and ribbon. We have even covered a pen to match!

These books take very little time and make great gifts. Have fun!

Materials:
One 6 oz. skein of Lion Brand Art. No.790 Homespun Yarn
One photo album, binder or book, and a pen
Glue or glue gun
Scissors
*Decorative items to personalize your book

Instructions:
1. Begin on the back of your book and carefully and evenly wrap yarn around and around it. Glue the yarn securely where you start and end your wrapping. If your book is thick, you may need to glue the yarn up the finish edge.

2. Glue your decorations on the cover.
