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!
