I thoroughly enjoyed this class. This class taught 4 ways to make a miniture book. I chose to make the Coptic Stitch book. I used watercolor paper to make my book and red thread. If I did it again I would use embroidery thread because of the thickness of the book. I could not get to my wrapping paper to make a cover for this book, so I chose to watercolor paint the cover front and back

I then sealed it with Dorland's Wax Medium so the watercolor would not rub off or smear.

We do Elf on a shelf for Christmas :) our elf draws and paints pictures :) so I made my book for the Christmas Elf that shows up while the kids are sleeping starting on December 1st :) The techniques taught in this class could easily be transfered to binding bigger books. Thank you Shelley for a magical fun class :)
