Listing the instructions step-by-step below:
YOU WILL NEED:

Follow the steps below to easily make your own mini books:
1. Print strips of tiny pages on 80-100 gsm Lightweight paper. Cut the strips along the edges.
2. Make creases along the edges of the tiny pages. Fold along the creases, like an accordion.
3. Apply glue and stick the pages back to back, as shown.
4. Open the pages to ensure they are not stuck together. Let them dry.
5. Take 250-400 gsm card paper and cut 2 pieces for the cover, bigger than the book size by 1 mm on 3 sides, as shown in the video.
6. Cut a cover piece from printed or coloured paper. We have used paper with a leather finish to give our mini book a vintage feel.
7. Stick the 2 cards on the cover paper, leaving enough room for the spine in the middle.
8. Trim the edges. Apply glue to the flaps, and fold and press well to stick.
9. Have fun decorating the cover.
10. Choose end paper to match the cover. Cut 2 pieces of end-paper, each being double the size of the book, as shown in the tutorial video.
11. Stick end paper to the bound pages.
12. Apply glue on the end paper and attach the book to the cover.
13. Your mini book is ready! Oh, the joy of flipping through the tiny pages! :)
