Need help making an arts & crafts style poetry book.?
Hello all,
Well like i said i am making a poetry book for my girlfriend for when she leaves to college sept. 18th. I have 30 poems & 3 songs that will be in it. i want it to be hand made and unique. the poems are all going to be individually put on nice parchment paper, but i am not sure if i should use cardboard or construction paper for the cover page and back cover. i was going to have my 4 year old nephew draw fun things on the cover to get the arts side to it. it is going to be 3 hole punched and tied with twine to hold it together. any other or better ideas are always thanked. i have never done a thing like this before so ladies and guys help out. thank you

Your idea Sounds great! I would use scrapbook paper…it’s acid free and heavy . Construction paper I would not even consider. I’d put the pages in a pretty shiny folder if the scrapbook-paper is too expensive..
