Lets do a group project together! Watch the video for full details. We will start on Monday, February 1st to give you time to gather supplies. All posts will be in the Designs By Juju group. Request to join the group here: / 1774388345945022
On Monday, I will post the first challenge along with a tutorial video and Juju is going to pin the post to find it easily. Comment on that post (in DBJJ group) with a photo when you've completed that day's project. That's all you have to do to join in the fun!
These busy books make great gifts for the kids, grandkids, baby shower gifts and for friends or save them up for Christmas next year so you're ahead of the game ;)
Here are the supplies needed:
1) Choose the busy book pages you want to work on and buy those designs here: www.designsbyjuju.com/in-the-... I am going to do all the pages and I think I'll do them in order of how they are listed on the DBJJ website.
2) Felt. You can find acrylic felt at your local craft store (JoAnn Fabrics, Hobby Lobby, Michaels...) or you can get it on Amazon and shipped to you right away: www.amazon.com/flic-flac-30cm...
I prefer wool blend felt for in the hoop projects as it is softer and more colors available, but either will work just fine! There are lots of shops for wool felt on Etsy that sell wool blend felt: www.etsy.com/search?q=wool%20... or you can get it directly from Prairie Woolens here: prairiewoolens.com/ with lots of colors available.
3) Binder rings 3" on Amazon here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
or Binder rings 2" on Amazon here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...
I'm going to use the larger binder rings, it just depends on how many busy book pages you want it to hold.
4) Buckle IF you decide to do the Lace & Buckle page: www.amazon.com/dp/B01I0Y5YVC/...
5) Shoe Laces, again IF you decide to do the Lace & Buckle page: www.amazon.com/Auihiay-Colore...
6) Zippers for the monster counting page: www.amazon.com/dp/B07PKGQNNH/... or you can find shops on Etsy that have lots of zippers too.
7) Buttons for the shape match page. Here's a link if you need buttons: www.amazon.com/dp/B01M2C4QOZ/...
8) Clear Vinyl to hold supplies on the back of the busy book page. You can also find this at your local craft stores. This one is 8 gauge: www.amazon.com/dp/B015QDB9KK/...
9) Optional Glitter: www.amazon.com/dp/B07DNXYQC5/...
Optional hook & loop stick on pieces, but I'm not going to use these. Optional snaps, but I probably won't use those.
Tear away stabilizer for in your hoop. I personally like this weight and this large roll: amzn.to/3FKQqJl
