- Опубліковано 25 сер 2023
- Enjoyed a marathon session of making miniature books, using the 'perfect' binding technique. ('perfect' is the name of the binding style... not us being immodest! :) )
It's such a joy to savour and feel all the lovely printed papers to choose from, and make cute little covers for each book.. each cover with its own style and details.
Wishing you many many happy hours spent binding beautiful books and forgetting all your worries while engrossed in the process. It's a superb mental and digital detox! Try it! :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS:
You will need:
scissors, craft knife, kitchen knife with a serrated edge,
ruler, glue, binder clip, plain paper for the inside pages,
coloured paper for the cover and end-paper, and a piece of thick card.
-Cut 24 pages of size 3 x 4 cm, for each mini book.
- You can use any paper of thickness between 80-120 gsm.
- Align the pages and hold them together tightly, using a tight binder clip.
- Cut some grooves along the spine, using a serrated kitchen knife.
Do this carefully and thoroughly. Depth of grooves should be at least 0.5 mm.
- Cut a piece of paper roughly 3 x 4 cm, for the spine of each mini book.
- Apply glue thoroughly to the grooves in the spine.
- Stick the paper to the spine and firmly press and remove extra glue.
- Leave to dry for 30-60 minutes.
- Cut 2 pieces of the thick card for each book, each 3.1 cm by 4.2 cm.
- Choose coloured paper for the book cover.
- Cut a piece of coloured paper roughly 10 by 7 cm.
- Stick the 2 cards on the cover paper, leaving enough room for the spine in the middle.
- Trim the edges. Apply glue to the flaps and fold and press well to stick.
- You can keep the cover simple or add details to the corners and spine.
- Choose end-paper to match the cover, and cut 2 pieces of 6 x 4 cm for each book.
- Fold in the middle and stick the end paper to the bound pages.
- Apply glue on the end-paper and attach to the cover.
- Have fun decorating the cover, with stickers or art.
- Enjoy the process of making many different covers for your mini books!
- You can also give them as gifts to loved ones, with little notes inside! - Навчання та стиль
How absolutely delightful. What a charming way to use up all those scraps we all have, too! I love the little suitcase at the end to store them in. I was thinking you could also make books out of ATCs that you have been given. Or print out little photos of treasured moments, people or pets and bind those. So many ideas! What a fabulous video.
Thank you so much! lovely ideas... photos of pets is definitely on our list! Much love.
@@SkyGoodiesCo Thank you! I was thinking, what a beautiful little gift this would be for someone who had just lost a beloved pet - ask them for photos, and make them into a mini-book - a precious little memorial.
@@ShoshiPlatypus it would really be a beautiful gesture!
ADORABLE!!
Oh thank you so much! ❤️
This is great. All my fellow library workers from over the years will love this.
That’s so nice to know! Thank you 😊
Beautiful books! 💕🌴😎
one more tip: for looking like they are printed inside use old books with small printing for cutting the pages from 😉 that's reuse at its best 😊
Great idea!! Will try this :)
They are lovely!! Really liked your binding method! The best and easiest I’ve seen!❤
Thanks so much! 😊 That means a lot to us. Will share more soon.

How do you make sure the inside “signatures” (folded paper) are sufficiently glued to the spine??
Beautiful idea!
Oh I didn’t fold the paper. They are individual cut pages, and held together by the glue which goes into the grooves in the spine. You can make sure that the grooves are deep enough to hold the glue - at least 0.5 mm deep… then the binding won’t break. Hope this helps ❤️😊
Beautiful books, s I has to subscribe 👌🏾📚😊
Thank you so much! :)
Wonderful. Tfs
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you so much
You're most welcome :)
Do you have a video of the little suitcase you put the books in at the end?
The suitcase is from a DIY Kit we make and sell. Please see it at the link below:

Grazie bel video
Thank you! ❤
These are beautiful.😢
Thank you! 😊
Muchas gracias por compartir Me pondré a hacrlo

Gorgeous little books for mini albums. Did you maKe the casa too?
Hello! Thank you 😊. If you mean the suitcase- that’s a product in our online shop in.skygoodies.co … it is a Papercraft kit. 😊
Looks like a fun project to do but what would one use this miniature books for? Looking for ideas. TIA
The most important use is to relax and have fun while making… sometimes the process is more meaningful than the product! :) We have made many of these mini books as gifts for loved ones. For example you could write one thing you love about someone on each page and gift it to them. Or write one thing you are grateful for every day. Or make a teeny photo album for someone. 😊
Where did the book cover come from?
Is that not included in the tutorial
It is included in the tutorial… you can watch from the beginning to see the making of the cover
Super, mais il est reste à imaginer ce que l'on va faire de ces petites merveilles. Où les ranger, quoi y écrire...
That's the fun part! You can write one thing you are thankful for each day. Or a prayer each day. Or give it as a gift to someone and write one thing you love about them each day. Or you can draw tiny pictures. Or use them in miniature projects like doll houses. Have fun!
❤❤❤
Thank you! ❤
Would this method work to make the books larger?
Yes, absolutely! This video shows our variation on a popular binding method for all sizes of books- called Perfect Binding. 😊
Je me suis abonné mais j'aimerais bien que vous mettez en premier la listes des fournitures pour être à jour avec vos vidéos
Thank you! We have mentioned the list of supplies on the 'YOU WILL NEED' screen towards the beginning of the video.
Hello from Louisiana, USA! I saw your beautiful video over in Pinterest and came searching for you here!! These little beauties are adorable and elegant!
May i ask a question please? What type of glue are you using? Can we use regular school gkue or should it be a specific brand?
Thank you and ive subscriber to your channel!! ❤
Hello! Thank you for appreciating our work. You can use water based white PVA glue- the usual craft glue is good. We used Fevicol. Hope this helps
How do you make the box to put them in?
The box is a product - a Paper craft kit available at our website in.skygoodies.co. Thanks 😊
Cute little books, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed this! :) Thanks
es hermoso, tienes el molde del maletin
Hello! Yes, we have the Mini DIY Suitcase Kit at our website in.skygoodies.co
Hi, what kind of glue do you use
I used white water based pac glue. In India we have Fevicol, and it works great.
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
Thank you! :)
Hello Sky so I found this post of you showing your cool rocket paper model and when I saw that post I wondered Hmmmm… I really want the template but… there seems to no template on description and for years I was thinking about this model when I was bored so I thought it was a good idea to comment asking Rocket template I commented because sometime UA-camr reply comment so im asking… Can I have the Rocket template pls
Hello! Thank you for appreciating our work! We will be releasing the physical paper cut kit for the rocket soon, but not planning to sell the template as of now.
