A few people have requested a tutorial on the mini origami book that I posted about a few months ago.
Here is my new video tutorial for the books, it is a little simpler, but if you prefer a photo tutorial, keep scrolling 🙂
To view the tutorial, click on the first image, it should enlarge. You can use the arrows on the left and right to navigate.
I used 6×6 inch (15 x 15 cm) paper.
I’m Vietnamese, but I love your crafts, Chrissy. I envy you and all those people commenting there having pretty paper to craft, while I don’t!
I collect miniature books and THIS is a great way for me to design and create something of my own.
So many ideas running around in my thoughts.
THANK YOU.
Glad you like it! Thanks for commenting <3
Hello Chrissy, I LOVE your creations and they are absolutely beautiful! I think it is very clever of you to clip the folded paper to a patterned paper and wrap it around now byeeee
These are FABULOUS!!!! I love them.

I’ve been loonikg for a post like this forever (and a day)
I literally want to run into your house and steal all your origami.
Thanks for all these awesome tutorials! Thanks for 8 years of awesomeness.
Thank you so much! I love these books and have now made an uncountable amount. Your tutorial is very simple and easy to follow. Keep blogging and go further.
Just a question: Do you happen to know how to a book lock on these mini books?
Like in this picture:
Thanks again. 🙂
You’re welcome! I’m glad they turned out well 😀
You can add the lock by folding 1/4 of the square paper you used for the cover into a thin strip. cut some off for the ‘lock’ the other bit will need to be glued from the inside back cover, the ‘lock’ bit will need to be added to the front cover by cutting 2 slits into the cover and then looping it through and glueing on the back (of the front cover). Hope that helps!

Hi, I’m very new to blogging, so I’m doing a sort of practice blog where I try out DIY crafting tutorials and post my results.
For my very first post I tried out this tutorial! It was a lot of fun and your video was super easy to follow. I have literally zero followers as of right now and I don’t know if I’ll ever get very many, but I still wanted to let you know that my review of this tutorial is out there. If you aren’t comfortable with me using your tutorial for my little blogging project, just let me know. I’ll be more than happy to try something else!
Thanks so much. I really enjoy this whole website :), here’s a link to my blog so that you can see it: http://mjohannahcampbell.blogspot.com/
Wow, thats a great review, I am pleased that it turned out so well! And I am of course happy for you to use the images, I will share your post on some of my social accounts ☺
Your blogging idea is great too, a lot of bloggers do this, for example, How about Orange did that too (with the same tutorial!). It is a great way for people to see some ‘Real’ results instead of shiny examples us tutorial makers post 😀 All the best and good luck with the blog! x Chrissy
Thank you for looking at it and sharing! I’m glad that you liked it 🙂
What size of paper did u use for the little red book???
I think I started with A5 paper then cut it in half. You can make taller books by tryout out different sizes of paper. 😀
How many pieces of paper did you use???
It could have been 7 or 9. Sorry to be vague it was 3 years ago! 🙂
Sorry for asking so many questions I like miniatures
♥ Great Tutorial! Can’t wait to try. Thanks! ♥

So pretty! I need to try this right now! Thank you for sharing!
Wow! Those are cute little books!
Thank you…THANK YOU…for this FABULOUS tutorial!
I love the step-by-step photos & the instructions for each photo.
Your time spent on this is GREATLY appreciated!
I love these too!! I’m making them to use for a boardgame…
Share it for us when it’s finished please
LOVE TRYING NEW CRAFTS:) I’LL BE TRYING THIS AS SOON AS I FINISH THE SOCK MONKEYS I’M WORKING ON FOR MY GRANDSONS. I ALSO GOT THE PATTERN FOR THEM ONLINE.
In case you’re worried that the cover paper will rip where you cut the two darts … I cover the plain, hidden side of my cover papers in sticky plastic backing, or, when I think that this will decrease the sharpness of my creases, i use sticky tape on the back where I know the point of the darts for the spine go. Works great!
Thanks for this tip! I will totally try it 🙂
