My dad is still recovering from a horrendous spinal infection he unfortunately contracted in 2008. We thought he was going to die when he spent two weeks in the ICU. He remained a quadrepaligic for almost 6 months. I made him a sweet little book to help him smile while he was in rehab.
This project is fairly easy and takes a little time to sew together. I checked out a book from the library about making handmade books and fell in love with this design. It looks like a “star” when open.
The materials you will need are:
Pictures of your choice Ruler Card stock paper Cardboard
Decorative Paper for the Back and Cover Ribbon Grommets
Glitter Glue Scissors Sewing Machine Thread

Could you please tell me how to find instructions to make this book?
Thank you!
Hi, Christina–
I am grateful to your comment, as I just realized I did not share the entire book-making process! I will get back to you with some information. BTW, how did you discover my post? 🙂
Hi again, Christina–
The book I referred to for this little handmade book is Miniature Scrapbooks, Small Treasures to Make in a Day by author Taylor Hagerty. I used the star book on page 30.
If you make a little book, please share it with us here! Have a great day. –Angela
