Click for links and infotiktok i learned from tiktok @stevieandjohnthese books have been all the rage over on tiktok and i had to share with. Adjust the size to your desired width and length. for bookmark tiny books, i used 1.5 inches high x 25 inches wide to include the entire cover flat. print using color and high print quality onto regular white printer paper. 3. glue the covers, with mod podge, onto card stock and carefully cut out when dry.
First, cut out a template from stiff card that measures 1.25" high and 2" wide.i used greyboard. there are 2 options for the paper; either straight smooth edges, or ripped edges. Leave the glue to dry. cut around the outside of the card pieces to leave an excess of fabric or paper on all sides. the excess should be between 0.5cm and 1cm wide. cut the corners of the fabric or paper off at an angle of 45 degrees. the cut should be a short distance from the corners of the card. Step 2: grab your materials. grab your cardboard, pencil, and ruler. decide what size you want your mini book (or books) to be and draw out your covers and spine. you'll want to do a couple of layers because paper board is kind of thin and flimsy. i did 3 layers here because the paper board i used was thinner than usual. Cut two pieces of cardboard about 1 4″ {0.6 cm} larger than your folded paper. my folded paper is 2.75″ x 4.25″ {7 x 10.8 cm}, so i’m going to make my cardboard about 3″ x 4.5″ {7.6 x 11.4 cm}. now, choose a cover for your mini diy book. i’ve picked out this stout little fellow from a vintage art magazine.
