Tab and Slot Book Demo

Hello Everyone,

I am finally able to catch up on our blog.  So sorry for the delay.

Here are the instructions for the Tab and Slot Book Demo that Dina was gracious enough to demonstrate at our April 12th meeting.

Tab and Slot Book

Materials

6 pieces of paper (the paper we used was 8 1/2" x 11" sheets, 3 were decorative paper, 3 solid color)

Paper Knife

Ruler

Pencil

Fold each paper in half, hamburger fold.  For 3 of the sheets, mark and cut approximately an inch from the top and bottom of the center fold.  For 3 of the sheets, mark an inch from the top and bottom of the center fold and cut a slot in between the two marks.

                                                       Slot cut 3                        Tab cut 3

Then insert a tab pages into a slot pages to the fold.

After that you can join the signatures together by inserting a tab page into a slot page until they are all joined.

And that's it!


Kathleen did a variation of this book at the May meeting.

Same technique but instead to make just slots the slots were made into shapes.
