TUTORIAL - Make 9 Mini Books made in less than 10 minutes!

Hello everyone!
Thank you so

much for your sweet comments.

I have been so busy lately that I have

hardly had time to sit down.
At least it feels like that!

 

I do not think that anyone has came up with

this idea yet - so I wanted to show you how

to make some books real quickly - that is

if you need them in a hurry!!

In other words - Conny's books!

 

Yes - these are made in 10 minutes or less!

 

These books have scrapbook papers for their

skins. I have not embellished them, however you

can do that anyway that you like. These little books

work up very fast - so make lots of them to fill

your bookcase!!

 

WAIT TILL YOU SEE HOW EASY THESE
BOOKS ARE TO MAKE!!

Get your supplies ready. All you need is glue and

some paper or fabric. Also need some cutting

scissors!

 

 This is one of those paper legal pads that is stapled

at the top. Do you see those staples!

All of the paper has been used on mine. This

is when I make books.

 

Do you see these books!!
They will have blank white pages.

Glue pictures on the

pages if you want to when you finish.

 

Tear or cut off the cardboard back and this is what

you are left with - BOOKS!

 

Take a ruler and mark off the sizes that you want.

Be wary of the staples. Try to work around them.

 

I did not worry about the staples.
I cut for 10 books and one tore up.

No biggy - I am still left with 9 of them.

Do not stress yourself with they way they

look.
Straighten them up the best that you can.
Also be careful because some of the
pages might fall out, if so then
just glue those pages back
into the spine of the book.

Concern yourself with the pages.

The fronts and back will be covered. So some of

 the mess will never be seen.
The book sizes are 0.5 inch

to 1 inch.
Cut the sizes you prefer.
Then clean the pages up a little!

 

Do you see the spines!

 

Everyone has made books before - so this is where

you can do your own thing.

Cover the little books anyway you want to.

 Take a small piece of scrapbook paper or anything

that you want to use and cut the correct width.
But do cut it longer.

 

Butter it up - baby!!

 

Press the paper down firmly on the outside.

 

Be sure to fold the left over paper to the inside of

the front and the back of the book.

Then press one of the pages down

on top of the flap.
This gives a more professional look.

 

Then trim off anything that sticks out.
Clean up the little book again if need be.

 

This book was covered in scrapbook paper that

looked like a real book. I will not worry about

the way the pages look here.
I want them to look

ragged - so it looks well used.
Maybe I will apply some gold paint to the page ends.

 

A couple of your books could have a staple in them.

No biggy!
Some of these little books will not

even be opened.
If you do not want these staples

just make sure that the book is well adhered to the

spine before taking the staple out.

I hope you enjoy the way that I make mini books!

Thank you for visiting me!

Mini smiles and hugs sent your way!

Giveaway #12

Hello Everyone.

It is really cold outside and the

temperature keeps dropping very fast.

Schools let out 3 hours early today because

they are expecting bad weather. The

rain has already started and it is

freezing. Enough to make me cold!

 

This is Giveaway #12. So sorry that I

am late. I had to give myself a few days

after mailing off the last package.

 

Hopefully soon I can get back to posting.
