Hi Crafters
Today I have something different for you. I saw it on YouTube, as I was trawling through Junk Book makes, and just had to make it.
I make leather flowers sometimes and have dabbled with leather brooches, so have several bags of scraps. These mini-books are perfect to use them up
Simple cut strips of leather 3-4cm wide and 8-10cm long
Fold in 3 to represent the notebook and measure the space inside the first section.
Put several pieces of copypaper together and cut strips to fit inside this space, concertina the folds and then cut to make the pages for the notebook .
Place a small hole in the fold of the leather and add a metal ring to take your keyring or clip
Next using heavy thread or bakers twine stitch the pages into the book. to hold the notebook together wrap elastic around the notebook, if you have a very small charm thread through the elastic to decorate.
The completed mini book can be used to hand from you handbag or as ephemera for your scrapbook projects. They are so cute, but be careful they are addictive. I have another 6 waiting to be sewn together. The finished item measures about 3.5 x 4cm
Happy Crafting and Stay Safe
Dee
