“Gift Book,” Friend, Dec. 1997, 21

Gift Book

To make this book for a family member or a friend, you will need: 2 pieces of lightweight cardboard, paper, photos or drawings of the person, glue, markers or crayons, a paper punch, and yarn or ribbon.

  1. For the cover, put the person’s name on one piece of lightweight cardboard, then glue his/her picture below (or above) it—or draw a picture of something he/she would like.

  2. Glue one photo (or a drawing of the person the book is for) on each page of the paper of your book and ask an older person to write what you want to say about it.

  3. Stack the pages together in order, put the cover on top and the other piece of lightweight cardboard on the bottom, and ask an older person to punch holes on the left side.

  4. Push the yarn or ribbon through the holes and tie the ends with a bow.

Note: Instead of using photos or drawings of the person, you might draw a picture of a scripture story on each page.
