Hi, I
don’t know how much you can tell from these scans because to see the tip in
part, you really need to see it photographed standing up, unfortunately these
are scans on a flatbed scanner. If you have questions about these, let me know.
My email is listed above.
1) Here’s
a tip-in that I did where I just taped in a window envelope to house a paperdoll. I used two sided sticky tape on the back side of
the envelope close to the gutter and left the flap open facing away from the
center of the
book so I could take out the doll and her clothes.
2) Tip-in
using 2 pages from the book (painted blue and purple), cut very close to the
gutter, and gluing the page in between.
3) Looks
similar to #2, but was actually a narrow piece of paper glued to a page, very
close to the gutter, then folded, and tip-in was glued in between.
More
suggestions for tip-ins:
4) Use
masking tape or duct tape folded in half lengthwise, and masking tape takes
paint well.
5) Use
brads, eyelets, staples, cool shaped paper clips or other type fasteners
6) Attach
to the outside edge of the page and fold inwards. Makes a
tri-fold page, so it opens like a triptych. You can also attach it to
the top edge and fold up, or to the bottom edge and fold down.
7) If the
page is smaller than your book page you can use photo corners, or slice into
the pages and insert the new page onto it.
8) Make a
pocket out of two pages glued at the edges, and insert your page into it.
