Tiny Leather Pamphlet

In person

Cathy Reeve

This miniature leather covered pamphlet is perfect to tuck in your pock for a trip. It’s the simplest way of sewing one section of folded paper together. If you are new to making books, it’s a great way to start. If the pamphlet is old hat to you, making it with a tooled leather cover and wrapping tie closure will be a new variation. There will be plenty of opportunity to experiment with leather stamping design and because it’s miniature there should be time to make more than one pamphlet.

Rachel Davies

Amaze your friends and family with these beautiful origami artworks.

Once you've mastered the basic ideas, you will learn how to attach your pieces to cardstock to create a pop-up sculptural card.
