I'm making pocket libraries from old Altoids tins. More books fit inside than expected! Top row is mini book recommendations with details about each book and the second shelf has small versions of the first 10ish pages for each. Next is finishing the insides and decorating the outsides!
The glue warped my books and now they don't stay put well, so I'm going to try gluing them to card stock or something unless anyone has suggestions? #LitsyCrafters

julesG Impressive! Have you tried pressing the books after the glue dried. Like putting them under a few heavy books? 1mo
Catsandbooks This is amazing! Love it! 😍What kind of glue did you use? If liquid, I would try an alternative. Maybe a glue runner or even glue stick might not warp as much. 1mo
Clare-Dragonfly Wow, these are really impressive! At first I thought they were just pictures of the spines and that was really cute but they‘re actually incredibly miniature books?! So good! 1mo
Kenyazero @LiteraryinPA Thanks! I will definitely post more pictures as they progress! 1mo
Kenyazero @Ruthiella @Princess-Kingofkings Thank you! 1mo
Kenyazero @julesG I had not tried that! I wasn't sure if it would smash them too flat 🤔 I'll try that first before I try other methods of putting them together. 1mo
Kenyazero @Catsandbooks I did use liquid. I'll definitely have to experiment with more solid forms and see if the problem was the glue type or the light weight paper. Thanks! 1mo
Kenyazero @Clare-Dragonfly Thanks! Yep, they're all mini books. I'm about to post a picture of a few open to show what they look like. 1mo
