"Dos-A-Dos" Mini Handmade Book

I was inspired to create this mini 'dos-a-dos' book after watching a tutorial here on Jerri Bellini's YouTube channel.

I love the way this little book turned out! Finished it measures 4" x 4". A fun little handy size to throw in your purse.

Each signature of the book (total of 6 signatures) consists of 4 pages, which doubles to 8 when folded, and both sides of the paper are a total of 48 pages.

Black cardstock served as the base of my cover. I then covered it with textured handmade paper from Nepal called 'Batik Sq Black & White and Batik Sq Ivory & Beige'.  For the tie closure I used torn batik fabric. 

The pages are handmade printable Natural Lokta papers. I bound the book with waxed linen thread using a 3-hole pamphlet stitch.
