- Around 7 yards of Pellon, Extra Firm Stabilizer (at JoAnn fabrics it is a yellow label with the three digit number of 926. Regularly priced at $3.99 but don't buy unless it is on sale for 50% or you have a 50% off coupon.)
- One to two yards of Heat 'n' Bond Lite iron on adhesive (Also known as wonder under which is what I will refer to it as. This is normally $1.99 but again, I always wait for it to go 50% off.)
- More then 1 yrd of Velcro. I'm thinking around 2.5 to 3 yards but I still don't know the exact amount you need. I like to buy it by the yard so I can buy a bunch and use just one coupon at Jo Ann.
- 6 snaps. I like the medium size but it's up to you.
- 5 shank buttons. Shank buttons don't have the visible holes, there is a piece of plastic on the back of the button that has the holes to go through.
- Permanent markers: 2 Regular size black and a bunch of fine tip black. If you want other colors go for it but I think you can get by with just black.
- Crayons. I wouldn't use washable crayons. I've been using a combination of twistable crayons and regular crayons. Also a good thing to get is the twistable color pencils. They do work on the felt and are magic on the detail drawing.
- White and black thread.
- Felt in a variety of colors.
- Scraps of fabric. I will put notices on the pages that need scraps. I'm a perfectionist and sometimes want a specific kind of fabric for the page. The least amount of fabric you can buy at Jo Ann is 4.5 inches which ends up being pretty cheap usually.
- As of now my plan is to use eyelets to help attach the pages to the books.
- Fabric for the cover but I haven't done that yet so that will come soon.
Shopping List
Still working on making a complete list of measurements but here are the things you'll need as of now. I will also try to put a shopping list for the individual pages if you don't want to do everything.
