These Vintage Mini Books (original DIY from our hero Martha!) are so cute! They are a little tedious if you're making a lot but are totally worth it! We used them for Amanda's Golden Book Themed Baby Shower Invitations and it pulled the whole look together perfectly :) We also made larger versions for a garland so the DIY is totally adjustable for any size you need!
DIY Vintage Mini Books
Colored paper
Vintage Book Pages
Craft knife and Cutting mat or Paper cutter
Ruler
Scoring board with bone folder

How to Make Them:
1) Cut paper covers with knife on mat, using ruler as a guide, in to the size desired.
2) Cut out slightly smaller pages from old or photocopied books, and fold them in half.
3) Place paper cover on scoring board. With ruler as a guide, use bone folder to score down the center of paper. Fold along the score.
4) Apply a thin line of glue to spine. Press folded pages onto glue, hold in place for a few seconds, and let dry.
