Mini Book (Necklace)

Hey there! Recently I had came across a book that teaches how to make mini crafts such as tiny stuffed toys, and one of the mini crafts inside was a mini book! I was really happy since I've always wanted a mini book necklace. Anyway, the instructions were pretty easy and the materials were also easily acquired, and my eyes were aching from doing Maths the whole day. So I thought, why not make a mini book? Hehe.

Here's the materials I had used while making the book:

1. Office paper

2. Decorative papers (I used an old music score instead, but I had to find one where the notes are very condensed.)

3. Needle & Thread (I heard that nylon thread is easier for this since it doesn't tangle as much embroidery thread, but I couldn't really tell the difference, so I just used normal sewing thread, it worked fine too)

4. Ruler 

5. Pin/awl

6. Scrap paper

7. Card stock

8. Pencil

9. Scissors/ Pen knife

10. Glue

Optional: Metal chain, charms

Here are some photos I took during the making (they might not be very clear since they are taken with my phone):

Some of the materials

The 5 signatures I used (not sewn together yet)

The binder of the signatures and end paper after I had sewn them together, so proud of myself haha!

Done sewing!

Making the cover for the book.

Attached the cover

You should be able to read the words if you are awesome enough! (kidding>.<)

Here's the scale of it! It's 3.3 x 2.4 cm

End Product!

The end product turned out better than I expected, especially the sewing of the signatures. I had expected a lot of problems sewing at first, like tangling of threads(I hate those), sewing wrongly (this really happened, luckily I realised this at the 10 something step, there's 50+ in total), not enough thread (I had a lot left overs in the end), the thread coming out, tearing the paper when I pulled too hard.... Anyway, you get what I mean, but other than tangling the thread 2 or 3 times and accidentally missed out a few steps, I 'm good:)

So yeah, I'm really happy with this, I just need to buy some metal chains and charms to turn it into a necklace. Now I know how to make it, it's going to become great personalised birthday presents too!

Moral of the story: If you want something, try making it by yourself first! lol.
