Here is a youtube video (not by me) on how to make in 'Instant Book': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaP3vXiioJk

You get to make an instant book, and decorate it to be anything you wish for someone else, such as a prompt journal, a mini photo album, a note book, anything you like.

I made one recently which is a miniature photo album. There are only a very small amount of pages in this mini instant book because you use just one piece of paper.

Good luck and have fun! Try something new!

EDIT Here is a link to the one I did as a trial, so you can get some ideas on how you might like to decorate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv3r-MniBag

Great! I only found this tutorial the other day and made one. I was really impressed with it just how easy it was and thought everyone else should know about it too lol!

Hey guys, here is the one that I made as a trial before I put this swap up, just so you can see what you might be able to do with yours: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv3r-MniBag

dreamlily..... fantastic video, love it....maybe think about creating a group for instant books!! Would be fun--with different themes? FUN!!

Hi Dakini55 - that might actually be a great idea! Hrm. I'm super keen to see how this swap goes. I hope people put up pictures because I want to see what everyone does. I've never started a group....might go and check it out.

I don't have the time to join this swap right now - too many commitments. I am interested in joining a group to make these kinds of books and other equally simple books. There are many different ways to make them and I have some resources to share. I am at work right now so can't post the references now. I will keep watching.

Hi Gratia, Would love to see some ideas that you have. After this swap I might make a group. I'll make sure I message you if that's the case so you can see if it's something you would like to join.

Hi everyone, I made my own video on how to make these mini books if you'd like to take a look:

Hi everyone, Just letting you know that after a couple of requests to make one, there is a group I made for Instant Book Swaps with different themes. http://www.swap-bot.com/group/549c339f1655f42e9257d4bb485a5850/about

Hope you all join!

LOL hi xingpaths. I made a group for these kinds of instant book swaps if you're interested

I just checked the prices to send to Finland... $14? Is there a cheaper way? Please help!

Hi Godssongg, I don't know how I can help you out with that one. I suppose when you join an international swap you have to expect that some cost is involved!

xingpaths....love it! Expecially the tartan print that goes with the theme :)
