Making a crocheted book

Technique Tuesday!
I decided that I wanted to make a little accordian-style books with some of my background papers. In particular, I wanted to use what was left from the pink and fushia monoprinted paper. My first experiment didn’t work out too well, as you’ll see. I used a 1/2 inch paper punch and crocheted the pages together with an oversized hook. The crocheting went fine, but the holes were way too big!
My second attempt resorted to a standard office-style paper punch and a smaller hook. Much better! I trimmed the rectangles to get rid of the large holes, and cut two more pages out of another piece of background paper.
Very pretty! I wonder if you could crochet in some notebook paper to make a journal (rather than an accordion book).
Absolutely! You could fold up a signature and punch holes along the folded edge to match the cover. Great idea, Eileen
Very creative, and very pretty. Now if you could just slide them over a hardback novel…
LOL!! I don’t see any reason at all why we couldn’t come up with one of those
