Fold a piece of the handmade paper in half, lengthwise. Fold enough pieces of paper in half the same way to make a mini book. We used 5 pieces of paper in total.

Using a ruler and a pencil, measure and mark at every half-inch line along the folded edge of one of the folded papers. You should have 7 marks. This will form the outer cover of your sticker collection book.

Next, use a hole punch to punch a hole at every mark, about a half-inch away from the edge of the paper. Be careful not to make your hole too close to the edge! You will be punching through the folded edge, forming two holes in the paper.

Once all of the holes are punched through, open up your folded cover. Place another folded paper INSIDE of the cover paper and line up the edges. Close the cover over the paper that you just placed inside. The hole-punched cover should be on the outside, and your next paper should be sandwiched between the cover. This will be your guide for punching holes in the next paper.

Repeat step 4 until all of your pages are inside each other and hole-punched. Each time you add a new page to your book, open it up to the middle and insert the new page there.

Once all of your pages are hole-punched, remove the inner pages leaving only the cover to work with.

From the outside, insert a pipe cleaner through the first hole of the back cover, bringing it to the inside of the back cover. Insert about 1 inch of the pipe cleaner and staple it to the back cover.

Insert all of your pages back into the outer cover, aligning the edges and holes. Close the book.

Place a colored pencil (or a regular pencil works well, too!) along the folded edge of the closed book.

Take the free end of the pipe cleaner and loop it through the first hole of the book, starting from the top and pulling through the bottom. Work the pipe cleaner across the book by looping from the top into each hole across the folded edge, pulling the pipe cleaner down. This will form a spiral binding for your book!

Once you have reached the last hole of your book and the pipe cleaner is spiraled across the edge, carefully remove the pencil from the spiral binding.

Staple the other end of the pipe cleaner in place to the back cover.
