Little, Homemade Books

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

    • 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
