A4 Fold book

You will need:

• A4 sheet of paper

To make:

• Fold the A4 sheet three times to get lines like this.

• Fold the full sheet in half along the narrow side, then cut from the centre of the folded edge half way to the centre.


• Open up and fold in half lengthways, then push the ends together to fully open up the centre section.


• Fold the flaps to forrm an A6 size book. There is no need for glue or staples unless you really want to - this makes a very good little passport.

 

 

Little Books

You will need:

• 3 DL size envelopes
• pieces of thick card
• pieces of thin card
• ribbon
• wrapping paper

and for decoration

• stickers, material, pictures, buttons, glitter etc.

To make:

• For the pages:
  • Stick the envelope flaps down, then fold in half and cut the ends off; this makes two pockets. You will have 3 pairs in all
  • Make 3 or 4 holes in the folded edge
  • Make thin card squares to slip into the pockets, making sure not to cover the holes. These card inserts can be decorated as shown
• For the cover:
  • Cut 2 squares of thick card slightly larger than the folded envelope and cover them together with wrapping paper. Make matching holes before you cover them, then poke through with a pencil
  • Fold the cover in half around the envelope pages, and put ribbon through the holes and tie loosely

 

This can be used for a song book, photo album, stamp collection and so much more. The book can be decorated with all sorts of stickers, pictures, material, buttons etc.
