3. I Love You Because Book

Idea taken from WaywardGirlsCrafts.com

Supplies:

4 pieces of different colored paper
Stapler
Markers or crayons

Instructions:

Cut 4 strips of paper the same size. (You can use colored paper or white.)  (4″ x 8″ would work, but you can vary the size.)

Lay the paper in a stack, but stagger it as shown below. You can measure the intervals carefully or just eyeball it.

Fold the stack in half, staggering the middle intervals the same as the ones you have already folded.

You are going to need to staple the paper to attach all the pages together. After you have creased the fold you just made, open the book. If your paper is short enough, or you have a long neck stapler, you may be able to open the booklet and staple it directly on the fold (like a magazine). If not, staple it on top very close to the fold.

Decide what you want each flap to say. Write the words and then illustrate each page. You could use stickers of photographs, too.
