Outside Inspiration: Teeny Inchie Books

Have you been looking around for some last minute gift ideas to make? I saw this little book and just couldn’t help but think that the older kids on my list (some of the much older kids … like my mom) would get a kick out of a tiny book … but in polymer.

Kira Nichols, of the humorously named blog Oops, I Craft my Pants, created these little books with paper and pen, gluing her paper crafted inchies back to back so the books can be flipped and displayed with different images showing.

We could do the exact same thing with polymer! Creating thin little polymer inchies with holes punched in the top, you could treat both sides of the polymer for the two-sided reversible option, or you could make them book covers with little blank sheets, or you could have more inchie polymer images inside. Take the reversible flipbook idea beyond inchies and books and think of the pendants you could make with polymer art that could be changed up with just a flip over of one layer. Get my drift?

In any case, there are ideas here that need to be explored. So … go play. I will be.
