BOOKS This is an easy way to make books.  The making of books for our dolls can be pretty complicated, what with the copying, sizing, printing etc.  No need to get stressed out with these easy and very simple methods.... First look through newspapers, magazines and catalogues for book adverts or review's. I love the Mail on Sunday supplement (UK) it has book reviews and the pictures are just the right size. But I'm sure there are others.   To make your own books you will need Craft knife or similar Foam core board. I use a mix of depths 3mm, 5mm and 10mm. Glue stick Scissors   Cut out your books leaving extra paper on the left (to wrap around the board)  Glue the cover side to the board face upwards  Cut around your book with a craft knife. I always cut twice. Once around the edge but not right through then again cutting right through. This helps if the board is thick or knife not as sharp as should be. Then glue the extra paper around

The other problem is the are a little short if you was to use them with Momoko (fine)  or Barbie they will just about work  but for those of us into Integrity Toys not so good. You could of course make them work with some photo manipulation but otherwise not so good! Another company that make doors is Houseworks but they are
