I love this so much! I want to make some as Christmas gifts. But how do I stretch a picture to print and to show book page numbers at top of the paper to cut it accordingly?
I guess each crafter has it's own way how they make their patterns. My numbers never when you attach my strips. The way I apply the strips to the pages, the numbers will never show.
Great tutorial! Thank you! May i ask what paper weight you recommend, where to buy the tool to remove the tape side and what software you use to make the pattern please? Thank you 🙏🏻
I use regular printing paper but print everything on an Inkjet printer. I create my own pattern, for this style, I do not use any software. I do custom patterns on my Etsy shop.

I am not sure what you mean Marilyn, Sorry. I glue just top and bottom of the page before I apply the strip. This way, if I make a mistake, it's easier to remove the strip and to the repairs if needed.
Io uso il nastro biadesivo oppure puoi usare qualsiasi colla scolastica o colla stick. .....I use double sided tape or you can use any school glue or glue stick.
How do you know what book to use? Pages to match picture or picture to match the book? What if there is no exact match? Obviously I don't understand this process, lol
Hello Donna, You can definitely match the book to the pattern. If the pattern have less pages than your book, there are plenty ways to deal with the extra pages, just make sure, your pattern is centered, so you have the same amount extra pages at the front and at the back :)
I make them myself. You can visit my Etsy store to have a peak. www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1416509512/custom-fore-edge-photo-strip-book-fold?click_key=8cf19d852a9e9e7a28f2d4f604f81fcf6ab2aade%3A1416509512&click_sum=bd83cad9&ref=shop_home_active_10&crt=1
Congratulations on your work. I didn't understand how I have to lengthen the photo in order to get the correct size for the number of pages of my book. Thank you
For photo strip fold, you will need an exact number of pages in your book to have it look nice. For different book folds, you can do half folds to hide extra pages. I do custom patterns for my customers. www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1416509512/custom-fore-edge-photo-strip-book-fold?click_key=60638a9ef7bad899fd6dda5d4be5a771377abfc1%3A1416509512&click_sum=f6a7831e&ref=shop_home_feat_2
Great instructions ❤❤❤
Thanks so much 😊
This is amazing. I love book-folding and I aspire to your level.♥️
Thank you Elizabeth
I love this so much! I want to make some as Christmas gifts. But how do I stretch a picture to print and to show book page numbers at top of the paper to cut it accordingly?
That’s the same question I have. My numbers come out on the side and show when applied to book. Numbers will not come out on top…puzzled
I guess each crafter has it's own way how they make their patterns. My numbers never when you attach my strips. The way I apply the strips to the pages, the numbers will never show.
waw ! it's a fastidious work... cut, folding, glue on each pages...
You don't glue the other side of strip ?
Thank you. No, there is no need to glue/tape both sides, just one.
@@nelisartcraftnook ok thanks. And I suppose we need to pay a software for having this strips ?
I've nearly finished my first, I'm printing black and white to start with, we have an ink jet printer.
Very nice tutorial!
Thank you
We need a software to print the picture with numbers ?
Hi Neli, do you do custom patterns from photos? If so, how do we organise that please? Thank you.
Yes I do. Please get in touch with me. I do a lots of custom work :) www.etsy.com/your/shops/me/tools/listings/section:31151372,stats:true

Very nice tutorial
Thank you :)
So, what keeps the folded part from slipping off while working the pattern?
Sorry, went back to beginning! I love this
Double sided glue that I apply on one side of the strip.
How do you stop the pages from nesting? Do you glue the front and back of each page?
I am not sure what you mean Marilyn, Sorry. I glue just top and bottom of the page before I apply the strip. This way, if I make a mistake, it's easier to remove the strip and to the repairs if needed.
Each page gets stuck behind the one in front of fit. So nesting, I call it, or spooning if I was in bed with hubby! @@nelisartcraftnook
what is the name of the paper cutter you are using please? I would love this to help me with my strip cutting.
I use Fiskars paper cutter. You can find them on Amazon. Mine is already 4 years old :)
Peccato non capire la lingua.vorrei chiedere per favore che nastro adesivo usi negli angoli.sei bravissima,e fai delle cose molto belle.complinenti.
Io uso il nastro biadesivo oppure puoi usare qualsiasi colla scolastica o colla stick. .....I use double sided tape or you can use any school glue or glue stick.
So you don’t have to tape both sides?
No, there is no need. Just one side
How do you know what book to use? Pages to match picture or picture to match the book? What if there is no exact match?
Obviously I don't understand this process, lol
Hello Donna, You can definitely match the book to the pattern. If the pattern have less pages than your book, there are plenty ways to deal with the extra pages, just make sure, your pattern is centered, so you have the same amount extra pages at the front and at the back :)
Can you make it with 2 pictures?
at this moment, I can have one picture on the top of the book, and one on the front of the book
Do you have a video showing how you put the support on the bottom> Thank you
not yet, but I can do one very quickly :)
Would appreciate it!
How much ink does this take
It takes fully colored pages, depending on the size of the pattern. Could be from 10-20 printed pages.
How do you make the patter?
I make them myself. You can visit my Etsy store to have a peak.
