This is cute for anything! You can write a Christmas story, a letter to Santa or a Christmas wish in a tiny little notebook.
Start by making a square then quartering the square. I cut up 3 sheets of paper to make 12 squares.
Cut 5 of those qurters in half. These are your pages and will make 10 pages.
Fold the half in half lengthwise.
Fold in half.
Fold each open end to the creased end to make an M (or W) accordion fold. Do that with all 10 pages.
Line the pages up alternating between M and W open ends up.
Slide the right leg of your M into the left leg of the W. This creates a bigger accordion.
Do that with all 10 pages.
Take a new square and fold in half.
And again.
Wrap around your pages, pinching the spine to create crease marks on the corners.
Fold and pinch to crease mark the other end as well. You will fold the flaps in.
Take off and view crease marks. Fold spine marks to crease more.
Fold the open ends inward from the crease mark.
Insert one end if the book cover flap into a page to hold in place. Wrap book cover around and repeat on the other side.
It will hold on its own but may flare out. Squish to crease more. Or wrap a string around! You can now decorate and write in your mini book!
