-
- Equal Exchange Coffee bag that I thought might have some crafty use.
-
- I cut up the bag to preserve the two larger sides, then folded those in half and cut along the fold. Those became the pages of the mini-book.
-
- I ended up gluing the two strips together to get more pages in my book.
-
- One coffee bag made two mini-books. One for me, one for my son :)
-
- We needed to make covers so we used some old paper plates left over from a birthday party.
-
- We glued the cover to the first and last page of the book.
-
- I start to decorate the cover with some map pages left over from the map-garland project. You can see I also clipped the corners of the book pages.
-
- The book decorated, still with blank interior pages.
-
- Here is the book with some text…a favorite poem of mine by Mary Oliver.
-
- Some detail to show the pages, and the inside of the covers.
-
- More page detail.
-
- The mini-book bound with some raffia. It is 2 1/4 X 1 3/4 in.
