The fourth grade through eighth grade students all learned how to make small squash blossom books, inspired by one that had been given to me. They began making paste paper and texturing it. When the paper had dried, they cut small squares to fit over 2x2 inch cardboard ends, glued them on and then began folding the five inset papers that would be the center of the books. A ribbon was glued on to the ends to be the closure.
