Transformation Scrapbook

1. First you need a blank book approximately 8-inch long 7-inch wide.
2. Next cut the pages of the book 1/3 of the way down. Leave the first and middle page of the book uncut.
3. From old books, magazines, post card etc. cut pictures of men and women in a variety of colours, costumes and positions.
4. Paste a figure of a woman on the first page placing it so that when the lower part of the next page is turned the upper edge of it will come across the neck of the figure where it is joined on to the shoulders.
5. Cut the heads off from the rest of the pictures and chose a body as different as possible from the original body of the picture being used. Paste the body on the lower part of the next page directly under the head belonging to the first body.
6. Upon the upper part of the same page paste any one of the other heads being careful to place it so that it fits over the body below.
7. Continue in this way, head on top of body until you reach the middle of the book.
8. On the middle page (blank page that was left at the beginning) paste a picture of a man and continue in the same way as you did with the women images until the book is complete. You will then have a collection of old heads on young bodies and figures in wrong costumes. Be as creative as you like paste animal head on human bodies or animal body parts on human heads.
