How to make tiny books make your own mini book for shadow boxes or jar with paper and mod podge

CLICK FOR LINKS AND INFO

These books have been all the rage over on tiktok and I had to share with you how I made them. I learned the general technique from Stevieandjohn on Tiktok and I did a few things a little different. I hope you will check them out and give them a follow!
These mini books are easy to make and super fun! I feel like you could use these for a lot of things. One idea rolling around for me is to find some of the books you remember as a child and make a little memory frame with the books in it for a parent or grandparent. These would also be really great in a classroom as well.

OMG I love these! I'm going to drill a tiny hole in the finished books to make earrings and keychains! So cute!

[terahhowell]

So adorable! I host a book club and give my members a gift at our year end meeting... this has me inspired to create something for my ladies!😄💜

I'm a teacher librarian and was looking for a good tutorial on how to make book earrings and found your video to be the most appealing to me. Mostly because I've already created a book challenge poster where every book I've finished, I print out the cover and put it on my poster. I absolutely love the idea of mini books in a jar! I've been updating my library's collection and have a ton of old books... I think using some of the old pages of books in these mini books would really be fun. Thanks for sharing this!

Truly grateful for your video and how you went into great detail (actual step by step) making this project super easy to follow! I just finished printing and now to the fun of making the mini books! I will be making these every year. 🤩

Thank you for this tutorial Corrine! I was able to make a couple of Barbie-sized books today following your instructions for Canva. I used foam core for the “pages” though. Love how they turned out and I’ll definitely be making more! 😊

[thgentexan]

Thank you SO much for your detailed video. I teach middle school literature and plan to do this as an end of year craft. 😍

I am FAR from crafty, but I love this! I may have to give this a go! Almost all of my books are on Kindle, so this would be a great way to still be able to show off my collection!

So cute! I want to do this for my daughter. She loves to read and these in a shadow box would be so cute!

Just love this tutorial! I'm part of a book club and I plan to make the facilitator a jar with all the books we've read over the last few years up to this point for Christmas. I make the ladies in the club all a different bookmark each year which I give them at our Christmas party that I host. But these books will make the absolute perfect gift for our leader! I plan to make myself a set, too, because they're so cute. THANK YOU for the clear instructions!

Awesome video and explanation, thank you! Making these as a gift for a friend who does audiobooks ♥️

[magicalmads]

I saw a tutorial a few days ago that used white foam poster board for the pages which is a less messy, less time-consuming option as well :) these are absolutely adorable though!

[amyalkema]

Thank you for all the info, off to assemble my mini books!

[RexRoseRex]

This is awesome! Thanks for the tips. I am going to make a jar for each of my book club members of all the books we read!

[skyskyzane]

This is so cute! All of the other tutorials had a more complicated instructions with the book binding process, and this is much better! Thank you for the vid!

[DebbieJeansThisAndThat]

Those are so adorable Corinne. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful evening. 🌴🌸😀

[jimmitchell]

Well done girl, especially liked the first 7 minutes, explained a lot. Best, Jim

You can click "send to back" from the start it it will send the box straight to the back of both book covers. Or anything else on the screen if you're ever using that function for other things.

[brneyestx]

what a great idea for a teacher gift or even for teachers to use! thanks for sharing

I absolutely love this tutorial. My only struggle is the inches to centimeters, but I'll figure that out. You did amazing
