Students will get to complete at least three miniature bindings. When closed, these little delights measure 3/4” tall and 1/2” wide. They can be worn as pendants, earrings, charms, or strung up for bookish decoration around your home. Microscopic notes can be written inside; perhaps you’ll make an adorable library of books for your pocket! All materials will be provided, including foil stamped leather, earring hooks and necklace chains. Whether you intend to wear these yourself or gift them to a friend, they will be ready to showcase when you walk out of this three-hour class.

Materials to Bring: Optional: small glue brush (around ¼”), needle nose pliers, scraps of decorative paper for endsheets or covers.
