You will need
Printer paper, light card stock for the covers (or printer paper), scissors and a glue stick.
How to make them
1. Print at 100% scale - the cover pages on light card stock, the inside pages on plain paper. Print the page sheets as many times as you like.
2. Cut out a cover along its outer grey line. For each book, cut out three page sheets along their grey lines.
3. Fold the cover inwards on the two dotted lines beside the spine. Fold each page sheet in half on its dotted line and tuck the three inside one another.
4. Rub the glue stick over the outside of the first page and press it inside the front cover. Glue the last page inside the back cover the same way.
5. Glue a bookplate inside the front cover. Glue a pocket inside the back cover along its sides and bottom only, and slip in the date due card for that book.
The covers show classic Christmas story titles (all in the public domain); the stories themselves are not included - the pages inside are for your own writing. The pieces are small and need scissors, so children should make them with an adult.
About the art
The cover illustrations were created with AI image tools under the creative direction of the seller - we chose every story, the cloth colours and the style and picked each final image.
