You have no idea how much my stress level just decreased. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. This simple knot has bound the pages together into a booklet that guests can easily flip through on the big day. Now flip it back to the front again and you'll see a pretty faux bow on the front, with no tying required! Adjust and trim as needed, and your bow is done. Pull them snug and tight.įlip it back over to the back and make sure the crossed ribbons are flat and smooth. Then take the ribbon on the right and poke it through the hole on the left, leaving you with a criss-cross of ribbon on the back of the booklet.įlip the booklet over and you'll see both ends sticking out the front. Take the ribbon on the left and poke it through the hole on the right, so that it comes out the front. Lay the stack face-down on the table, so the ribbon is pointing up and you're looking at the back of the booklet. Start by poking both ends of the ribbon through the holes, from front to back. The length of ribbon you need will depend on the look you want to achieve and how far apart you put your holes, but my pieces were about 6" long. I used a wired ribbon, which helped me to form the ribbon the way I wanted it and gave the "knot" a nice firm hold on the paper. This is where your ribbon is going, so may you need to use a larger, round hole if your ribbon is bulkier.įor best effect, choose a fairly wide ribbon (I used a 3/4" ribbon) but remember that you may need to adjust your hole size if you choose a thicker or thinner ribbon. Then use a 1/4" rectangle punch to punch two slots in the stack, about 1/2" apart and 1/2" down from the top.


When everything is cut and stacked, you're ready to assemble! Take one set of pages (including the vellum and card stock) and align all the top edges together. When you stack the pages all up in order, your backer piece of cardstock should be flush on the top, and stick out about 1/4" on each of the other three sides, creating a nice border. For a dreamy translucent overlay on top of the booklet, also cut a sheet of white vellum the same size as the pages.įinally, cut a piece of coordinating cardstock to a little bit larger than the booklet pages - make them 4-1/4" wide and 8-3/4" long. When everything is printed, use a good paper trimmer to cut each page into three even pieces that are 8 1/2" tall and just under 3 3/4" wide.
