Feeling hands-on today, thinking about making bookish things!

A Journey Through The Pages has the Poetry Friday round-up. Thanks, Kay!
Addendum: I didn't make the accordion book above! It's a Pinterest image that tracks back to a site that isn't working right now (so I can't find out who made it).

Oh, that looks like such fun. My daughter would love to do a little book like that. And I would love to do it with her.
So neat! It makes me itch to pull out the craft supplies. The neighborhood kids said they want to get together to do a craft day. Maybe we can all make some mini poetry books? Thanks for sharing!
I know I will never tire of Milne's words, Tabatha. I still have my old copy of Winnie's stories & end of browsing most often when dusting! Thanks for these instructions. The girls are coming tomorrow, so will do something. Ingrid & I worked on a model of something she "cooked up" last week. It was much fun! I love your little book!
This post MAKES me happy, Tabatha - creativity just sizzles over here. Let's all make sure to wander into the places where Poetry and Hums hang out this year. :0)
Ooh! That diamante poem/book is lovely! Good find. Now excuse me while I wander off to where poetry can find me... *hums quietly*
I actually did a book makerspace program last week at my library, where we made tiny books, and "zines", and accordion books, and more! I find that kids really appreciate being able to just make things with their hands, to express themselves and really connect with something, in a tangible way. It's also a lot of fun!
What fun! I've been wondering how in the world I was going to squeeze in a notebook for writing on our trip to England (not an option to go without for a week!). These mini-notebooks will do quite nicely!
Oh my gosh I’ve been craving a crafty project. This is so cool! Thank you. And diamanté poems too. Take a bow.
A.A. Milne and Pooh are favorites of mine, and I love the illustrations by E.H. Shepard! Thanks too for your lovely accordion poetry book Tabatha, blooming with flowers. I love the multi-colored string and that it will pull it all together, and it's on a paper bag–marvelous!
