- Enjoyed a marathon session of making miniature books, using the 'perfect' binding technique. ('perfect' is the name of the binding style... not us being immodest! :) )
It's such a joy to savour and feel all the lovely printed papers to choose from, and make cute little covers for each book.. each cover with its own style and details.
Wishing you many many happy hours spent binding beautiful books and forgetting all your worries while engrossed in the process. It's a superb mental and digital detox! Try it! :)

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS:
You will need:
scissors, craft knife, kitchen knife with a serrated edge,
ruler, glue, binder clip, plain paper for the inside pages,
coloured paper for the cover and end-paper, and a piece of thick card.
-Cut 24 pages of size 3 x 4 cm, for each mini book.
- You can use any paper of thickness between 80-120 gsm.
- Align the pages and hold them together tightly, using a tight binder clip.
- Cut some grooves along the spine, using a serrated kitchen knife.
Do this carefully and thoroughly. Depth of grooves should be at least 0.5 mm.
- Cut a piece of paper roughly 3 x 4 cm, for the spine of each mini book.
- Apply glue thoroughly to the grooves in the spine.
- Stick the paper to the spine and firmly press and remove extra glue.
- Leave to dry for 30-60 minutes.
- Cut 2 pieces of the thick card for each book, each 3.1 cm by 4.2 cm.
- Choose coloured paper for the book cover.
- Cut a piece of coloured paper roughly 10 by 7 cm.
- Stick the 2 cards on the cover paper, leaving enough room for the spine in the middle.
- Trim the edges. Apply glue to the flaps and fold and press well to stick.
- You can keep the cover simple or add details to the corners and spine.
- Choose end-paper to match the cover, and cut 2 pieces of 6 x 4 cm for each book.
- Fold in the middle and stick the end paper to the bound pages.
- Apply glue on the end-paper and attach to the cover.
- Have fun decorating the cover, with stickers or art.
- Enjoy the process of making many different covers for your mini books!
- You can also give them as gifts to loved ones, with little notes inside!

one more tip: for looking like they are printed inside use old books with small printing for cutting the pages from 😉 that's reuse at its best 😊
Great idea!! Will try this :)
How absolutely delightful. What a charming way to use up all those scraps we all have, too! I love the little suitcase at the end to store them in. I was thinking you could also make books out of ATCs that you have been given. Or print out little photos of treasured moments, people or pets and bind those. So many ideas! What a fabulous video.
Thank you so much! lovely ideas... photos of pets is definitely on our list! Much love.
@@SkyGoodiesCo Thank you! I was thinking, what a beautiful little gift this would be for someone who had just lost a beloved pet - ask them for photos, and make them into a mini-book - a precious little memorial.
@@ShoshiPlatypus it would really be a beautiful gesture!

@@SkyGoodiesCo avec plaisir
This is amazing! I seldom enjoy videos without at least some voice over but this was perfect! Thank you!
May I ask why cut into the spine of the pages? Thanks!
Oh thank you so much for your kind message! We have found the grooves in the spine of the book to be an effective way to ensure that all the pages are well-glued together. Sometimes, without grooves, the binding can break and pages can come loose. But with the grooves in the spine, we have never had this issue. Hope you enjoy making some! ❤️
These are beautiful.😢
Thank you! 😊
Genial 😊
Thank you!
Grazie bel video
Thank you! ❤
How do you make sure the inside “signatures” (folded paper) are sufficiently glued to the spine??
Beautiful idea!
Oh I didn’t fold the paper. They are individual cut pages, and held together by the glue which goes into the grooves in the spine. You can make sure that the grooves are deep enough to hold the glue - at least 0.5 mm deep… then the binding won’t break. Hope this helps ❤️😊
Do you have a video of the little suitcase you put the books in at the end?
The suitcase is from a DIY Kit we make and sell. Please see it at the link below:

Looks like a fun project to do but what would one use this miniature books for? Looking for ideas. TIA
The most important use is to relax and have fun while making… sometimes the process is more meaningful than the product! :) We have made many of these mini books as gifts for loved ones. For example you could write one thing you love about someone on each page and gift it to them. Or write one thing you are grateful for every day. Or make a teeny photo album for someone. 😊
Cute little books, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed this! :) Thanks
