Our build a book program allows you to choose what name, or date you want up to about 8 characters.  The letters or numbers are not attached to the pages.  you accent them sepearately and adhere them together.  This gives you the ulitmate ability to build what you want.  Read more details below about putting the books together.  Each order is delivered with a full page of "how to" notes written by the designer of this program Julie Creek.  Our chipboard is the thickest chipboard in the industry. Our customers consistently reorder from us because they love the quality of the material we offer.  To order Build A Book click here.

Some tips:
1. Use Scotch Tacky glue for adhering letters to chipboard pages.
2. Use Scotch Tacky Glue for adhering paper to chipboard, but
be sure to use a brayer immediately to remove “glue lines”. This
gives a super strong adhesion and a nice look!
3. If covering books with pattern paper use our Creek Bank Creations Sanding stick to
finish edges.
4. We recommend that you use contrasting colors on the letters so
they will stand out!
5. Use some paint on letters to speed up the process!
6. Use Crop a Dile eyelet setting tool to punch holes in chipboard!

To put the book together:
1. Decide what you want to paint and cover with paper. Complete that process. We recommend covering
the fronts and backs of all pieces with either acrylic paint or thinner pattern paper.
2. Lay the book out and decide how you want to adhere the letters to the chipboard pieces. I used Scotch
Tacky glue to adhere mine. I have also punched holes in both the chipboard pieces, and the letters and tied the letters to chipboard pieces with ribbon.
