Pirate Book


This was a class I did on a paper bag book. The pirate theme was something I thought of based on the clasp. I was planning on entering a competition that required a unique closure, so I thought of the closure and the theme followed. The clasp is made out of two wooden screw plugs and an elongated oval wood chip. I hot glued the plugs to the bottom of the oval chip and painted them with brown craft paint. I then distressed the entire thing to make it look like a wooden cleat from a ship. It is tied like a cleat with small rope ribbon that is attached between the folds in the last page.
