These little tags are a little putzy to put together, but make a nice addition to the mini-book. They are easy to pull out of the book and throw in purse or pocket as an individual item, and later tuck back into the book. They can just be a marker or reminder, hold a pretty good list, and are even useful for reoccurring lists and grocery items.
Of course, the companion piece to go with the little tags is a storage pouch or envelop. Several tags will fit in one sleeve and by color coding each with a different ribbon, or even making each one a different color, they are easy to keep track of.
So far, I have only discovered one disadvantage to these little treasures, and that is their thickness. The thickness if each tag is the same as the thickness of each page. In a book like this, that has a predetermined binding depth, there are only so many pages that will fit within the binding. In that way, each tag replaces one page.
Although the mini-book below is a different theme, the binding limitations are more apparent in this image, and the issues are the same in each of the mini-books made this way. Note that the binding is all one piece and cut to a "one size fits all...." pattern. It would be possible to hand create a template and vary it by the number of pages "after the fact," but.....I have yet to do that!
