Create a Quick and Easy Mini Book

Hi everyone! I know it has been a while since I have made a post. I’ve been working on much needed home projects, gardening and now Eileen Hull’s newest release. But I’m back with a quick and easy project using the Mini Book Diecut and Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits. I also used the notes diecut from the Floral Pocket and Paperclips Thinlits. All these dies are by Eileen Hull. Anyways, let get started!

I cut out the notebook cover from the Mini Book Diecut. I also cut four dotted pages to fit inside the notebook. I applied a double sided Adhesive to the back of a piece of cardstock. I placed the “notes” diecut onto the cardstock and run through the Diecut Machine. I also cut out a circle from the Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits. Now that I have everything cut out I’m ready to put the notebook together.

I lightly inked the edges of the notebook cover, circle, flower and notes dies. I folded the mini book die and dotted notebook paper in half. I punched two holes in the spine of the mini book and spine of the pages. I threaded a needle with thread. I sewed the pages and covers together and tied off on the inside of the notebook.

I peeled the backing off the adhesive of the notes die and placed onto the cover. Next, I glued the circle and flower slightly above the notes dies.

I added a Mini Gold Gem to the center of the flower. I also used a Mini Paper Clip as a closure to finish.

I have a “bigger” project that I’m working on that this notebook will be eventually be a part of. Hopefully I will be able to share it sooner rather than later.
