How to Make a Maze Book
By Jaine Drake
This maze book is a great little 3 x 3 book that is just perfect to put into a handbag or to give as a gift. Materials: 1 sheet of 12 x 12 scrapbook cardstock 1 piece of 6-1/2 x 3" cardstock Various small pieces of scrapbook papers, ribbons and embellishments Instructions: Take the 12 x 12 piece of scrapbook cardstock and mark at 3, 6 and 9 inches. Score and fold accordion style. Turn 90 degrees and do the same in the other direction. Your page should now be divided into 16 portions. 
To create the pages you need to take a cutting knife and straight edge and cut from left to right across the first and third folds only as far as the last portion of the cardstock. Then cut the middle fold starting from right to left this time, but only as far as the last portion again. Now to fold all the pages together. Starting at the top left corner fold each page accordion style until you get to the end, where you fold all of the folded pages underneath the first one on the second row. Keep folding accordion style and once again fold all of the pages underneath the first page on the following row. Repeat until you have all of the pages folded together. 
Next take the smaller, 6-1/2 x 3" cardstock and mark at 3" and 3-1/2" and score. Fold along the scored lines to make a cover for the book. 
Adhere the front and back pages into the cover. 
Now you are ready to decorate your mini scrapbook. You can use the pockets in the pages to hold tags, or as I've found they're the perfect size for holding ATC's. Close the pockets at the bottom with brads, staples, a thin line of double sided tape or anything else you can think of.
