Bind-It-All File Folder Mini Book
Cut 2 pieces of chipboard or cardboard 7" x 5-1/2". Cover each with a decorative cardstock. I cut mine a bit bigger than the chipboard and fold it over on the back side like a gift wrapping. I then use a solid piece of cardstock for the inside cover cut a bit smaller than 7" x 5-1/2" to cover the rest of the chipboard. 
For the inside pages (the file folders) I use double sided cardstock. Here is a file folder template for you to use. Using the template, trace and cut out however many file folders you want to include. I did five file folders. I cut three in one direction and two in the opposite direction so that I could alternate the direction of the tabs on the file folders. I used the 3/4" O-wires on this book. Center and punch your covers in the BIA machine and then your file folders. Put your pages in book format, with your covers on the outside and your file folders on the outside. Now before you put your wires in, take your back cover and place it face down to your front cover. Put your O-wire in and bind it closed. Now bring your back cover back to the back, and the closing part of the wires are hidden between your last file folder and your back cover. Now decorate your file folder book!
