Making a Metal Book

I set my phone on a tripod and used the WatchTrigger app on my Pebble watch and phone to snap some photos as I made this tiny book from tin can and soda pop can. This little book will be part of the m-house piece in the works.

The cover is cut from the lid of a no. 10 and the pages on the left were cut from an aluminum soda pop can.

I filed the tip of a nail to a sharp point and used it to mark some holes in the spine of the pages and cover for a copper wire to go through to stitch the pages together.

I drilled the holes I marked with the nail a little bigger.

I marked where the holes will go in the spine of the cover with dots of white paint. I used a scrap of 1/8 inch mdf to stabilize the cover while I drilled holes in the spine.

The finished metal book. I used a strand of bare copper wire to stitch the pages to cover and made a loop to hang the book with.
