…compilation of tutorials
The title of this entry isn’t fully correct: the instruction is named ‘How to Make a Miniature Book from a Sticky Note Pad’, but I felt it was too long ;-)
The tutorial itself is great!
Unfortunately I didn’t have time yet to try it out, but I will.
I really will ;-)

Working with paper sometimes consists in tearing it. But mostly you want it to be torn in a particular way and not crooked ;-)
Creative Paper Crafts gives lots of tips, tricks and ideas, one of them being a how-to on tearing paper.
I tried this technique several times and it always worked out exactly the way I wanted.
Thats what I call a good instruction ;-))
