My favorite projects are both quick and easy to make, which provide me with instant gratification and an appetite for more. This is why I immediately fell in love with Hagit’s mini-book, when I stumbled upon it.
I asked for Hagit’s permission to “reverse engineer” her project and she told me she’s got the idea from Moran, another talented Israeli artist. (Moran has also posted a tutorial, in Hebrew). Both of them gave me their gracious permission.
As you can see, my “reverse engineering” has brought me to a slightly different place, but my inspiration is definitely derived from Hagit and Moran – so THANK YOU!!!
In this week’s creativity prompt I am going to show you my way of creating a mini-book in about 10 minutes. (Depends on whether your tools and supply are at hand or not…)

What do you think about my second trial at putting together a video tutorial… I am keeping on experimenting with the webcam’s placement. Not quite there yet 🙂
Thank you so much for all your kind comments and e-mails on my first video tutorial. It really encouraged me to go ahead and make some more.
I would also be very happy to see your own mini-book creations, so don’t be shy and share 🙂

Hi! I love your blog and joined your flickr group, (EMCphotos). I tried to watch the video and it said it was private and needed an invitation from you 🙁
Please let me know so I can watch it and link to it from my Scrapbooking Blog.
Thanks,
Eileen
I’m so sorry. It’s live now!
I would love to be able to watch your video but when I click on it – it says that I have to be your youtube friend and won’t let me watch it.
Hope you can fix this?
Cheers
Kathryn
I am so so so sorry – it’s live now!
Thanks so much! I watched both of your video’s and loved them. Your music choices are awesome. I can’t wait to see another one!
Thanks for sharing,
Eileen
Great job! I love video tutorials. Seeing vs. just reading is a great learning tool. However, I would love to hear a voice over with instructions vs. music because when I try to read what you’ve written for the steps in the video, it’s too distracting ’cause it’s a very cool song! I ended up muting the sound and then watching again with the sound to enjoy the tune! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I have been incorporating voice-overs in my last few videos. You’ll have to get past the accent… but you can hear me talking 😉
So lovely: the tutorial and the soothing music to watch by. Your sewn minibook was equally hypnotic.
Your books are certainly a giant leap above the fold & staple books I make for my girls and their little “stories”. One (age 6.5) is writing now, and the other (4.5) illustrates, then dictates to me what the captions are. I think they would LOVE to have “fancy” books to keep their inspirations going. And I hope I am able to teach them so they can become bookmakers, too, someday.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you SO much for your comment. I was delighted to read about your daughter’s stories and how you take the time to put them in books. This is so heart warming and I’m exhilarated to hear that I could help, even a wee bit, in this lovely story-telling tradition.
