DIY Vinyl Record Notebook. I always looked at these record projects and thought they must be too much work. But they aren’t! If you can sit through a short 3 minute 21 second really well done how-to video, you will see how easy it is to bend scratched, unplayable records into whatever you want. Tutorial and video by stars for streetlights here.
DIY Mini Book Necklaces with Charms. I have posted 3 or 4 mini book jewelry tutorials and I keep saying, “Oh, this is the best one.” But this is my favorite. Clear instructions, love the grommet closures tied with leather, love the keyhole. For the tutorial and other ideas go to Art by Wendy here. I got a GC to Michaels and will get a crop-a-dile using coupons of course.

DIY Tiny Notebooks. Difference: using a sewing machine to bind the book. I think this would work on miniature, really tiny books. There isn’t a tutorial for the cover of these notebooks, but there are lots on the web. Short explanation of how she made these at Angry Chicken here.
