May 20: Coaster Books



At the May 20 CBAC meeting, we will be making books from coasters.  Each book will be made from 12 drink coasters (the thick paper kind that you get in restaurants and bars).  If you have extra coasters, please bring them; if not, don't worry, we will have extras at the meeting.  We will also supply tyvek to use between the sections of the book.

Please bring the following supplies to the meeting:
  • PVA glue (not Yes paste) - you'll need something that really sticks
  • Glue brush (this can be a cheap 1" chipping brush from Lowe's or Home Depot)
  • Ribbon to wrap your book - approximately 1/2" wide x 36" long
  • Twelve color or black & white copies of objects of your choice (close the copier lid when making photocopies, so that the background is light or white)
  • Stamps, paints, stamp pads, sponges, stencils, etc. (hopefully, we will have enough time to add color to the books during the meeting)
  • Scrap paper (to keep the tables clean)





When you come to the May 20th meeting, be sure to join in on Arlene's "nametag challenge!" 
  • Create your own nametag (first name is fine), wear it to the May 20 meeting, and you'll be entered in the drawing for special prizes from Arlene.
  • Your nametag can be on peel-off sticky paper, a pin-on nametag, hang around your neck...anything you choose.
  • You are encouraged to embellish and decorate your nametag in any way you wish.
  • You don't HAVE to participate to attend the meeting, but give it a try... it will be lots of fun to see what everyone creates!
