S2E10 How to Craft a Journal Cover & Tassel | Regency Romance | Rosewood Manor Series

🌸 Dearest Elegant Crafters,
A lady’s journal is her most trusted confidant, but every great secret deserves a grand entrance. Today, we step away from the vanity and toward the workbench to craft a cover worthy of a Rosewood romance. 🏛️✨

Thank you ever so much for your recent comments and unwavering support—your kindness is as refreshing as a stroll through the gardens in spring. 💕In today’s session, we reach a pivotal moment in our assembly: binding our memories in lace and ribbons and crafting a signature Rosewood tassel to dance along the spine.

In this lesson, we cover:
Preparing sturdy chipboard foundation
Mastering the "perfect book binding angle" with fabric
Adorning the cover with pearls and butterfly appliqués
The "Alchemical" process of creating a layered silk and pearl tassel
