DIY art books


My two bigger kiddies are really into making up and illustrating stories lately, so we had to make some of these little cereal box books I saw over on Alpha Mom. They're quick and easy and -- best of all -- made from materials you already have around the house.




I like the funkiness of seeing the cover of the cereal box inside the book. It would be cool to make a thicker version for myself, but have it spiral-bound instead of tying it together. For the kids though, tying or sewing a few pieces of paper in is obviously the faster, cheaper route.

Great idea! My kids love to make books and the cardboard would give it more "body."
