Instructions<\/h2>\n
Gather the minimal supplies required to make your mini book including the downloaded kit above.![\"You](\"https:\/\/craftyourhappiness.com\/abode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Make-Miniature-Books-From-Craft-Sticks-Quick-and-Easy-1.jpg\")

Measure the jumbo craft stick to make the front and back cover of the book. The jumbo sticks are typically 1″ wide and you need to measure 5\/8″ for the front and back.\u00a0 So the total size is 1″ x 5\/8″![\"You](\"https:\/\/craftyourhappiness.com\/abode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Make-Miniature-Books-From-Craft-Sticks-Quick-and-Easy-3a.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Cut the stick where marked. FYI Using scissors can make the wood crack. It is still usable but if you have a sharp craft knife and can score along the lines to snap them it will be easier. Also a very fine tooth craft saw would work.![\"You](\"https:\/\/craftyourhappiness.com\/abode\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Make-Miniature-Books-From-Craft-Sticks-Quick-and-Easy-3b.jpg\")

Fold each one in half on the dotted line. Run a line of glue in the crease to attach each folded paper into the bottom one.
