Back to School Fun Tutorial with Graphic 45

What's sharing on today's Graphic 45's blogpost is a short tutorial on how to create these cute mini notebooks using just a single sheet of printer paper in just 4 simple steps.



Here are the steps:

Step 1: Fold an A4 size printer paper into 16 parts and cut across the paper as shown, leaving the last part uncut.
Step 2: Gather and fold the paper alternatively into a mini accordion book. Distress the edges if preferred.
Step 3: Wrap Kraft cardstock around the book. This will be the cover. Glue/tape down the first and last parts of the paper onto the insides of the cover. 
Step 4: Embellish as follows. And you're done!!!

The final size of the mini notebooks measures 2.25" x 3". For those wondering about A4 size, it's an international ISO standard paper size commonly used in Singapore, UK, and some Commonwealth countries. It's larger than the US letter size paper, which measures 8.27" x 11.7" (21cm x 29.7cm). If you can't find A4 size printer paper, don't worry! You can use letter size or similar sizes, just keep in mind that your notebooks will be smaller. The steps, however, remain the same. I hope this clears things up for you.

Have fun!!! Cheers!!!
