Using photos as guide, knot 3 ribbons to the one side of the page;
weave ribbon thru the loops on the back of the fish; knot the other ribbon end 🙂
Sew a button in the center of the clam – use photo as guide. Because of the ‘frill’ I use the space in-between two DC’s as my button hole 🙂
CREATING THE PLAYBOOK:
Take the long ribbon and weave it thru a large eye wool needle;
Place your pages onto top of each other and starting at the left bottom side;
insert your needle from the bottom up thru the last row on all the pages;
pull the ribbon thru
Tie a bow to knot the ribbon in place.
SKIP THE NEXT ROW; and weave the ribbon thru the next row –
continue this way until the end
Tie a bow to knot the ribbon into place.
