The document describes how to construct various types of mini-books and fold them into different shapes using simple materials like paper.

Some of the mini-books described include accordion books, quilt square shutter books, cross/flap books, petal books, arrow flap books, envelope/pocket books, matchbook books, flag books, triangle books, and more.

Most mini-books involve folding paper into different shapes and configurations according to dotted or dashed lines, then gluing, stapling or otherwise assembling the pieces together. Some involve cutting out specific areas or pasting strips together to form folds or flaps.

Step Book
1. Cut out the 3 pages.
2. Fold on the dotted lines.
3. Place the 3 folded pages inside each other
with page 1 on top, then 2, and then 3 inside.
4. The folds should all be together creating 6
steps! The reverse of each page will form the
bottom 3 steps!
5. To staple the pages, open the folds, keeping
the pages still stacked inside each other and
staple on the dark little line. (You could punch 2
holes and tie ribbon or string knots instead of
staples for a creative touch!)
6. Write inside each step as you would in a tab
minibook.
