Here is my Twinchies Project finished, it's an A4 trifold complete with a pic of my thrown away spine. It's a shame as it was pretty so I cut it off for future use. But it would have not been able to fit into a standard A4 ring binder so it had to go.
Teabag = Twinchie Project Finished TwinchA4-01a-1

Thanks UK Boozers I have beer mats that were a perfect size for your Twinchies to be mounted on. At first I thought of individual mini books but that would have taken too long to make and haven't the room for them anyway. So as I love puzzles, so it had to be a crossword. Next priority was making sure my finished product would fit into one of my A4 ring binders. Unfortunately I had made this trifold with a pretty spine and had to re-do it.

I first painted the mats with Anita's Black Metalic acrylic. Whilst these were drying I stuck your twinchies on suitable coloured Mulberry Paper, then stuck them on the beer mats.
The shiny gold plastic tape was from a recycling centre (now closed). I stuck DS tape on the back of it and arranged folded bits arround the edges of, just smaller than A4 red card.
The 3 red backers are on a large trifold which is just A4 size when closed. Thank you girls for your super Twinchies and especially Lorraine for running this swap.

That's amazing, Nona - I would never have thought of making it into a crossword puzzle (not to mention spending a year trying to work out the clue answers!).

Wow Nona - that is fabulous.
Well done - what a great idea. You told me on the phone about it, but you
can never visualise it properly.
Maria has the honour of being mentioned. Very Happy
I know what I am going to do, but I'm not going to get it done before Tuesday
so will do it when I come home from hospital.

Meant to say, I love the little figures, especially in the second picture.
They look as if they are looking up at the puzzle. Laughing Laughing

Nona - how DO you do it every single time!! It is truly lovely and I am so impressed I am going to get on with mine now, pronto!

Maria says it makes even more sense now I showed her how to see the whole thing in one picture (thanks to Lorraine's instructions) because she could only see the lefthand half before, which is why she didn't realise it said France. See - she needs her Mumty after all!!
