blue & beige mini book & box

2½"w x 3"h x 3¾" thick
400 sheets - 50 signatures of 4 folded pages (8 sheets)

the book is made from kraft brown paper, beige cotton thread... the cover is made from fabric, foam board and cardboard... the box is made from kraft brown paper and cardboard...

this was a fun project... i didn't think about usefulness at all when designing this, although i'm sure it can be used in some way... the whole point was to be ridiculous just to see how it would turn out... and yeah, before i sewed the back cover on, i wondered whether or not i should cut more paper to make the book even thicker... and then decided just to be done with it...

the one major drawback was that as it got thicker, it became harder to hold together while sewing the next signature on...
