DIY Stocking Stuffers
1. Origami Paper Mini Books
These DIY mini books are the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! Some things are worth making, even if you can’t quite figure out what they’re good for. I’ve folded origami books from a single sheet of paper before, but this version, created from several pieces of paper, is easier. And I daresay, even cuter! The finished mini books are 1.5″ square when made from 6″ x 3″ pieces of paper (one decorative sheet for the cover and seven plain sheets for the interior.) I used plain computer paper for the inside, and sheets from the for the covers. The patterns are printed on coated paper (unlike more typical uncoated origami paper) and reversed on the back side of each sheet.
