Guide Review - Making Mini-Books

The Klutz Making Mini-Books is a complete guide to making "little bitty, teensy weensy, really fun" miniature books. Create more than 20 types of tiny books ranging from simple, staple-bound paperpacks to creatively decorated hardbacks. Make accordion books, key chain books, a purse book, a scroll book and soft and fuzzy books. Make a book that looks like a chocolate bar or a Swiss army knife book with pages that are tool shaped. The mini-books can be made using everyday household equipment like scissors, a stapler, hole punch and ruler. Other more specialized items are included with the book. The special papers in the book are a variety of textures, weights and patterns. The mini-books make great additions in greeting cards and letters.
