Junk Journal with Spine and Nested Pages

Run the spine die bundle through your machine to create three nested spine sections that fit inside one another.

Observe the score lines on each spine piece and bend them gently to see how they nest together.

Gather your pages cut from recycled materials such as music paper, corrugated cardboard from packaging, and coloured card.

Apply wet glue to the back of the largest spine piece and position it as the base layer.

Glue the medium-sized spine on top, ensuring it sits within the gap created by the largest spine.

Glue the smallest spine piece into the centre, creating a three-tiered nested structure.

Insert your prepared pages into the spine structure, layering them between each spine section.

Cover the assembled spine with decorative cardboard or patterned paper to create a front and back cover if desired.

Allow the glue to dry completely before handling or adding further embellishments.
