My sister's birthday came and went, and with her visiting me over the past weekend, I really wanted to have something to give her. I had seen this project over at A Beautiful Mess, and I knew I wanted to make one (or six, I still haven't decided).
And that's how this adorable, mini gluten-free cookbook came to life!

My sister has a gluten intolerance, and I always see recipes online that I want to share with her (but she isn't on Pinterest... I have no idea why). It took a bit of searching to figure out how to make the booklet pages, and a lot of trial and error to get them to print correctly, but it was worth the effort. She seemed to enjoy this gift a lot more than I had expected, or hoped.
I love this project because it is so quick and so easy, you could complete more than a few of them in under an hour (assuming you aren't making a printed book like I did). And the best part is that I was able to use nothing but materials I already had on hand! I did choose to use eyelets instead of just hole punching the binding. I think it gives a more polished look, and may provide more durability, although it is completely optional.
I chose not to include pictures of the recipes I used because I just pulled them off of the internet, and while I did site the sources and do a bit of editing of my own, I thought it would be best to leave them out of this post (with the exception of the tiny glimpse you get in the first picture).
What do you think? Will you be making one of your own? If you have any questions on how I made the innards of my cookbook, or comments/suggestions, I would love to hear them! Please leave a comment below, and don't forget to go over to A Beautiful Mess and show them some love. :)
