May Arts Ribbon and mini books…the perfect combination!

Ribbon book

This accordion book is decorated on both sides – it is
nice to give mini books without pictures – the recipient can easily add favorite
photographs.  This book will hold
wallet-sized pictures.

On this small 4th of July book, I only added one
big ribbon to the ring-

    that book!
