I went to the dollar tree for my hardcover books 😃
Excellent source, Jenny! Great idea. Thank you for watching. 👍🏼
Beautiful pattern and a great tutorial 👏🏾👏🏾 Im trying to do the geometry set but struggling to find suitable books 📚 any suggestions? 👍🏽
Thank you so much! I buy most of my books used, from thrift shops and used bookstores. Look for biographies and histories. Books in those genres usually have higher page counts than others. Hope this helps.
@@HaveFunBookFolding Thank you, it does. I'm now on a hunt 👍🏽
Excellent 🙂
This is so cool! Just discovering this. I do have a question….
The ruler you use looks thin maybe a little more than 1/2” The ruler I’m using (plan on using) 1.5” in with. If I use this one, the fold will be different. Do I need to get one like yours? If so, I need the measurements please. I can’t wait to start this, so exciting!! BIG THANKS!!
Welcome to the fun world of book folding, Marilyn! Thank you for watching. The metal Westcott ruler that I used for folding in the video is 1 1/4" wide. Your ruler that is 1 1/2" wide will work well.
When you use the ruler-against-spine folding method that I demonstrate, the width of your ruler doesn't matter. Your ruler, no matter its width, will automatically set a proper angle for you, page after page. You don't have to think about it. Let your ruler do the work. When you start folding, you'll understand exactly what I mean. :)
Thank you so much! Believe it or not I don’t have a hardcopy, so I’m waiting on the book. Can’t wait to get started!!
I’m curious if you’ve tried books with gold edges. I would think that would be beautiful for certain patterns. I’ll check out your channel and look at your other designs. That will probably answer my question. I stumbled across your channel by accident. I’d never heard of book folding! I feel a bunch of Christmas gifts flowing from my hands! ❤❤❤❤❤
Hello and welcome to the fun world of book folding! I haven't tried folding books with gold/gilt edges, but I've seen gilt-edged books that others have folded. Those folded books are gorgeous. If you find a gilt-edged book, I highly recommend buying and folding it. You'll love the effect. Thank you for watching.
So on the bottom folds you did small folds. Can you fold all the way to the corner of the book spine? Does it matter how big or small your fold is? If so how do I know how deep to fold the corners
Hi, Amber. Good questions. The ruler that you use for folding automatically determines the size and depth of the folds. You don't have to figure them out yourself. When you place one edge of the ruler against the spine, and the opposite edge of the ruler on the mark, the resulting line between the spine and the mark becomes the fold line. To see me demonstrate this, start watching the video at the 22:05 time stamp.
I've made this, I gave one to the RSPCA shop they have it on display🐾🐾🐾
It's great to see you, Elizabeth! How wonderful that you created the Paw Print for the RSPCA. That is very special. Thank you for letting me know. And thank you for watching. :)
You could use a book with dirty edges on tbe pages! You can spray paint the outside edges and then tbe image will become more prominent!
Hi, Kimberly. Thank you for watching. Have you had good results spray painting your folded book? I’ve never tried it. I figured that the weight and wetness of the paint would cause the pages to droop and wave.
