Tree Book Project

Posted at 1:09 AM on Nov. 21, 2007

Posted in Science

I wanted to share a project that we are working on.  It will be an on going project, so it's not even close to being completed yet!  The project is a mini Tree Book.  I took the idea from a mini scrapbook made the same way.  The scrapbooks are darling even though they are not archival safe.  We may do one of those in the future.  Because of how the books are made, it ends up having a lot of places to tuck things and pockets to store small flat items.  Here's how we did our tree book:

First, you gather 3-5 lunch size paper bags.

Second, you fold them in half. Make sure the flat side is on top and the folded side is in the inside.

Next,punch two holes on the folded side.

Next, tie a string or ribbon through the holes.

Voilá! You have a mini book!

Here is what ours look like so far.
