Here's an assortment of little books made from shipping tags. From the top, going clockwise:
1. three tags taped together to make an accordion (or a screen?)
2. two tags with a paper spine glued on the short end, a small signature stapled in last
3. three tags tied together with one string - about as simple as it gets
4. the pages are stapled in the fold at the left, the other end of the tag makes a flap, and theres a button holding it shut through the hole
5. just like #2 but with the spine on a long side
center - tag folded in half, pages stapled in at left fold and the whole thing tied shut with the ends of the string
The strings can be used in a lot of ways: to hold the things shut, to attach embellishments or just to hang there and make it look tag-like.
Happy Presidents' Day.

I like very simple things, so this idea appeals to me, and I especially like the idea of tying the book closed with the strings.
