Wow, djinnc, I just love all your book people!! They are all awesome. Would you mind telling us a little about how you made these? The folding process, and how you put them together? I would love to make some and use up some of these books I have around here. Thank you for showing , and thank you for any info you are willing to share.

I will look up the sites for you this evening they are based off the readers digest from years ago but are very very easy

Love all your people and thanks for the links. Will have to save them since I'm still so darn busy making ornaments for an order. Pretty sure I'll be busy for about 3-4 more weeks. I wish I was faster at it lol.

Your book Mr. & Mrs Claus are adorable! Love the angel also. I'll have to spend more time later looking at all of your links that you posted. Thanks for sharing your crafts.

Thank you so much for this idea!! I really enjoyed making this. I made the snowman book for a friend of ours and I finished it the night before we were mailing out her gifts. When my Mom saw it, she loved it so much, she wanted to keep it and put it out with her Christmas decorations. So I am making another one for our friends for next year. I am also going to try and make a Santa Claus and maybe a Mrs. Claus for my Mom for next year. Where did you find the Santa and Mrs. Claus faces? I have checked JoAnns and Michaels and could not find it there. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks so much for posting this!!!

I still have the Santa that my mother-in-law made in the 1980s. It was well made made and
has held up nicely!

WOW! Did you just bring back a ton of memories. My sister and I used to make angels and santa folks out of readers digest magazines when we were growing up. We used to spray the angel bodies with silver or gold paint and used pipe cleaners to create halos. Between those and the little sphere ornaments made of circles cut from old Christmas cards, we were always busy.
