Proceed to the top. On a sheet of scrapbook paper we measure out a rectangle of 8.5 * 12 cm, cut it out. This is for the front cover.

We glue the back part from two rectangles to also get one 8.5 * 12 cm in size. Vertically, we sew on a typewriter a rectangle of paper of a different color, as in the photo below.

And also on the machine we sew another rectangle, but already smaller. We attach a ribbon to the picture of the girl, wrap it and glue it with small pieces of adhesive tape.

We attach the picture to the scrapbook paper and sew the ribbon first. And then the whole picture in a circle, the second blank is also sewn on a typewriter. On a separate sheet of white paper we stamp the inscription “Passport”, cut out a rectangle with the inscription.
