8 page book from one sheet of paper












Starting at the bottom picture , fold in 8 even sections, use a bone folder to make your creases sharp. Cut the slit(in pic) with an exacto or scissors. fold and like magic you have an 8 page little book to decorate or give directions on how to do something, Sweet!!The top pictures are what I did with my book. Hope you like it.

    This technique makes a lovely invitation, too, especially if you have a lot of information to convey.

    I just used it for a library open house/tenth anniversary for their "new" building, and starting with a legal size piece of paper, it folds down to a little smaller than a standard invitation size envelope.

    This is really GORGEOUS! I recall learning to teach this small book for elementary school students . . . I never thought of transferring the idea to an altered book! Yours is WONDERFUL!!
