Hand Stitched Mini Book

(This is my first 'ible, so please be kind!)

Here is a book I first made in May of 2006. I thought I would capture it all on the digital camera, in case others may like it. So, here it is!

Materials: 
- Playing cards (I used mini ones)
- Glue Stick of choice
- Papers of choice
- Thread and Needle (I used clear beading thread)
- Scissors
- Embellishments, stickers, ribbons, beads, etc (whatever you want to add to the book)
- Time (any amount you can spare is good, these don't take long, and once you've made one you can easily whip up a bunch in no time).

Step 1 Step One: The Basics

I started with 1 mini playing card (1 1/2" x 2 1/4").

Fold the card in half, so that it is 1 1/8".

Find something for the cover, something that you like...I picked a notepaper from Michael's.

Glue to card to the center, leaving room around the edges. Also trim the paper so that it will overlap the card.

Glue the edges onto the card, fold over the pointy edges and glue them too.

Fold the card again.

Choose another paper, and cover the inside of the card, leaving an edge around the card.
