Hi! I'm Silje from Little Bird Crafts. Elsie and I have been friends for a long time and I am so excited to contribute to the Blog Party today! Recently I've been really into making soaps. I am planning to make some for the RVA online store soon. :)
I just made a fun mini book. Here's a DIY.......
Cut two 4x4" paper squares and four 4x5" paper strips, I used brown card stock, you can also use patterned paper. Fold 1" so that you have a 4x4 square, and 1" flap, do this to all four paper strips.
Use glue dots on the back of the paper flaps, and glue each paper strip flap to each of the four sides of one of the squares.
Glue the second 4x4 paper square in the center to cover up the paper strips.
Now you can decorate with pictures, or just cute little notes and text like I did, the options are really endless. Make a cute little book for your best friend, or for that special someone for valentines day.
Super easy, and super cute! :) XO. Silje
What a great DIY! I'm afraid to go to sleep out of fear of missing other great posts :)
