Here is a star book I made for The 4th of July. I got the inspiration and directions from:
Beautiful Binding for handmade books by Suzanne McNeill. I purchased the book from Michaels. The first one can be a lot of work with having to hand sew the pages but once you do one or two it gets easier.
Hope you enjoy looking.
Book opened to form shape of a star (hence the name Star book)
