Thanks Mekala!! I am going to try and do these for my NYE reception...I have a feeling you make it look too easy though!! Do the books really stay bound with just double stick tape? What kind did you use? These are amazing. Thanks Mekala!! I am going to try and do these for my NYE reception…I have a feeling you make it look too easy though!!

How large were the books? How many pages were in them? Would you mind going into more detail on how you attached the pages. Were they all folded in half and double taped? Thank you so much for sharing. I love these. How large were the books? How many pages were in them? Would you mind going into more detail on how you attached the pages.
