Can't seem to get away from coptic stitch journals and board games. I do love this "Dogopoly" game--a Monopoly clone for dog lovers. This one actually uses the lid from the box the game came in, which shows a smaller version of the entire board. Cute, no?
I cut the board image from the box cover and lined it with a pretty pearly moss green textured card stock. For the back, I sandwiched a piece of tag board between a piece of white card stock for the inside and another piece of the green. I folded six signatures, poked half-a-dozen holes for sewing stations and bound the journal with a single-needle coptic stitch, or chain stitch binding, with black waxed linen thread.
Done. And cute.

I never knew they had other versions of Monopoly. So strange...and funny. Hey, my son is 37, no grandkids...been a long time since I looked at games--LOL!

ReplyDeleteOh, that is so cute and great that you can get the whole game on the cover. Yes, Rita, there is a Monopoly knock-off for EVERYTHING, like cities, sports, pets, etc.
