To make these books today I used regular printer paper and a stapler that I have owned for year! I have seen a long reach stapler that is used for book making, but with my technique you don’t really need that. So how to you staple a booklet with a normal stapler you ask? The answer is in the video here.

To trim the book edge, I use a ruler and an utility knife. I’d never tried this method before and boy was I amazed at how neat the result is! I am addicted to this technique now- so easy and so satisfying! Again, see it in action in the video here.

The final books measure about 4.25 by 5.5 inches in size, they are called an A6 sized book. This size is a cute size for a journal or notebook and perfect to carry around in your purse.
