something we used to do in elementary school :)
this is something I used to do in elementary school. Around when I was maybe 9 or ten years old.
I don't know why I remembered, but one night I was bored and decided to do this with my little sister, so it came out handy :)

    gather your supplies

    the long strips of paper, you can easily just cut a long stroke off an A4 stencil.

    and you can probably get your hands on some cheap book.

  • Step 2

    the first thing you want to do is glue all pages together to the back of the book.
    DON'T GLUE THE WHOLE PAGE! JUST THE SIDES
    so just start with the last page, glue it to the cover and work your way to the first page.
    you can leave a few first pager unglued if you'd want to
