I wrote down a list of things I need to produce the final pieces. As I was deciding how the products would be made I looked back to my project preposal stating that I was going to produce a book but I had a different idea that I would use a matchbox To create a book so I didn't need to use any book binding methods as I am making a book from a matchbox in replacement from an actual book.

I used:
- matchbox for the body of the product
- string for the alternative to paper (on the sides)
- glitter paper (gold) to make the product more realistic
- Glitter to boarder the outline of the book.
- spray paint for the main colouring - a pendent to make the 'book' look more realistic
As you can see in the photos that the string I used to represent the pages didn't stick that well, I thought about improving them as I didn't want to start from scrap as all the other features looked alright. To correct this mistake I would cover PVA over the top of the string to hold it in place to look more realistic.

I didn't use the actual tecnique that Sarah Mitchell but used it as a guide line, instead I crimped a small piece of paper (folding it). After I stuck the series of images down I realised I need to spray the outside parts of the box so that it looks more professional.

After realising I didn't have enough spray paint left I thought of a more cost effective way of covering the box, this meant that I had to cut gold paper to the same size and stick it on the inside of the box I also had to redo the corrugated card I used for the tree photos as they became weak and tore easy, I used the same gold paper as before and attached the tree photos to them made sure they were stuck properly, they need to be durable once my work out on display for the reason that it will be on display for a while and over time could damage.
