Use your Prints! Flip-flap book by Gelli® Artist Giovanna Zara

binary comment

Hello everyone, Giovanna here today. The main question I have been asked is ‘What to do with your gel prints?’ To test the new stencils designed for Gelli Arts® some months ago I collected a bunch of prints, and I was eager to use them, so in this video I show you how to create an interactive book (with tons of gel prints inside) that you can use to adhere some photos or to make a journal with quotes or magazine snippets. To fit my prints, mainly 5×7”, using a square die that fits this size, I used some wild math (template at the end of this post), but in the end I found out it was very easy to make. Let’s have some fun!😊

Enjoy the video ☺

 

I’ve also made a tiny version of the flip flap book using the print leftovers, and I made it with no measurements at all: make a small accordion large enough to fit two or more rows of prints, glue down the covers, back and front, and cut these ones to size.

Materials I used:

Gelli Arts® 4” Round gel printing plate

-GelliArts® ‘Dots’ stencil

GelliArts® ‘Wonderland’ stencil

GelliArts® ‘Leaves & Script’ stencil

-golden acrylic paint 

-a bunch of gel print
