It's a really neat project. Cutting out the pages gets to be a lot of work further into the book, especially keeping the corners neat. It was fun and worth the work.

I like the way the instructor explains what she's doing, and the close-ups of her cutting the book. I also love papercrafts and reusing items that might otherwise be thrown away :)
