- Crumble the jumbo and mini luggage tags, then flatten them out.
- Next, rub distressed tags with metallic rub-on creams in color combinations that match those found in photographs (figure A).
- Mat all photos with complementary cardstock all cut to one uniform size, leaving at least 1/4" frame around each photos.
- Place two matted photos "back-to-back" and eyelet punch opposing corners (figure B).
- Slide the jumbo tag between the two matted photos (figure C) and eyelet punch remaining two corners.
- Cut 4' of thread. Begin with upper right eyelet, leave approximately 4" of thread hanging, and tie a knot. Proceed to thread each hole, tying a knot and leaving excess thread.
- Then, add bead, journaled mini tag (figure D) and another bead to hanging thread at one corner. Secure with knots and tuck under the photo mats.
- Repeat steps 4-7 for each page.
- To create cover, fold navy corrugated stock in half.
- Stamp colored cardstock squares and mount to corrugated squares as shown.
- Use double-stick tape to mount skeleton leaves to navy cover and layer stamped images as shown.
- Punch hole in front top center of navy cover, back top center and center of the far left side of rear cover.
- Thread twine through the tags and rear cover and knot. Thread twine through front hole, through rear and return twine to front hole. Knot to finish.
