To summarize the video: Valina opens up the cover (which is closed with two felt straps and velcro) to a cute apple tree page and a puzzle page, where you can mix and match animal fronts and backs. The next page is a garden page with a cute embroidered worm and vegetables you can pull out of the ground and put in a bag. Across from that is a flower page, with flower tops on buttons (and embroidered rain, which I love!). The next two pages are a counting page with beads and color shape balloons on velcro. And during the last couple pages there's an appearance by Valina's cat. :)
It's a super cute book and well worth the watch!

Velcro, buttons, laces, studs.
How much did all the supplies cost you?
About 10 EUR.
What's your favorite page? Why?
My favorite is the page with tree and apples, because it´s been the first page I made and it made me believe I can finish the book and it can really look as I imagined it.
