I will go through the steps on how to make a mini book and then ill show you the final product. There are so many different reasons that you use could use one of these. So grab a sheet of paper and scissors and lets get started!
Step 1. Take a sheet of paper and fold it in half vertically (like a hotdog), then unfold.
Step 2. Fold that sheet of paper horizontally (like a hamburger), then unfold
Step 3. laying the paper down horizontally on the table, take the right side and fold it into the middle crease, then unfold
Step 4. Repeat same process for the left side. Take the left side and fold it into the middle crease, then unfold.
Step 5. Fold the paper in half, like a hamburger and use your scissors to cut down in the halfway down the middle, enough to reach the crease.
Step 6. Unfold the paper and fold again like a hotdog and open the part where you cut, so its shaped like a diamond. Keep opening it until you flatted it.
Step 7. You have a mini book! Just take each section and make a sharper crease.
Below is an image where the folds should be (colored lines) and where the cut should be (dotted line).
This image is also a layout of how you should color, design, print or draw your story for your mini book. So just follow this layout and you will have a short story in no time.
