Making autograph book **Help Please**

[luvlife]

I'm so sorry to bother you guys again I am setting up the pages for my little ones autograph book, I was originally making an 8x8 book. I will now be making a 5x7 book because I think the bigger book would be too big for them. I was wondering if I can print two 5x7's on one page? I know that I can do
two 4x6 pics but I think that's too small

Anyway, if anyone could help me figure this out I would really appreciate it. I want to make sure I leave enough room for binding as well.

Hi, I am no expert on making an autograph book but I have made 2 of them already and both were 4x6. It was super easy carrying them in the parks and werent small at all. I used microsoft word and printed 2 pics (4x6) on 1 sheet of satin photopaper then cut them out. The sharpies do not smudge on the paper. It was more expensive than using cardstock but that was just my choice. I am a perfectionist (OCD even) but my SIL is not and had them printed at costco in a 4x6 size as well. I then took them to staples and had them spiral bound ontop. There also is a thread on here that was very helpful to me. Here is the link:

Thank you very much for responding, I have read and re-read the simple guide to making a 5x7 autograph book but it is using the picture as a 4x6? I am assuming it's because they leave extra space around the edges for binding. I was just thinking in my head that the actual picture had to be 5x7 but anyway, I think since I've had a few cups of coffee since then I get it
I'm glad to hear that you have used the 4x6 size in the park and liked that size. I am sure it will be much easier to carry along these books rather than the 8x8 size.
I just kept picturing my little one lugging the book to the character and then trying to hold it during the picture With all the character pages I've done it would be pretty heavy

Thank you
