HI everyone,
I am so gald to have found this thread.You are all so creative! I have a question. I have made 2 autograph books for my 2 grandkids..ages 8 and 5. The books are altered sketchbooks..about 8and 1/2" by 6", spiral bound.
My first question is how can the kids carry them around the parks? They will each have kid sized waist packs...but these are too large for waist packs (mine included). I do have a lot of character dinner ADRS...maybe they should just use the books at the dinners?( but I foresee..."Wow...Buzz Lightyear is here, can we get his autograph" scenarios in the parks)
My DH and I were hoping to get by on waist packs only. I did see a Nike "pouch" type backpack...simple...light...but I dunno..really wanted to pack light while we are at the parks. Any ideas?
Next question is..I want to coat the altered covers with something to protect the paper. I have Modge Podge and Diamond Glaze. My experience with Modge Podge is that is can sometimes be tacky...and I am worried about the heat we will encounter in the parks. I have never even opened the little bottle of Diamond Glaze. What can I use to protect the cover? How many coats of "whatever" do you do? HELP!!!
