[@HaveFunBookFolding]

Go for it, Lorna! Thanks for watching. 🙂

[@kimberlyryan8618]

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!

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

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.

[@teresaclinton]

i have started my very first one today at my local women shed, im doing a dragon 500 page book.

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

Excellent, Teresa! Welcome to the world of book folding. I hope you have a lot of fun creating your dragon. 👍🏼

[@Mandelverse]

Beautiful pattern and a great tutorial 👏🏾👏🏾 Im trying to do the geometry set but struggling to find suitable books 📚 any suggestions? 👍🏽

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

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.

[@Mandelverse]

@@HaveFunBookFolding Thank you, it does. I'm now on a hunt 👍🏽

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

Excellent 🙂

[@BenjaminGib]

Wow, this is awesome!

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

Thank you so much, Ben.

[@andresmauricioparedescharr4968]

Hi, thank you very much, great videos to understand how to start and develop book folding. One question. How do you decide the depth of the fold? You use the width of your ruler. Does it work the same way for all designs?

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

Hello, and thank you for watching. Yes, you are correct. The width of your ruler will automatically determine the depth of the folds as you work. The ruler-against-spine method of folding will work for all designs.

[@msjoniefitz]

where can I get the bone thing? And yes, your tutorial is the best

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching. There’s a link to the bone folder in the Description of this video.

[@inspelled]

Would love to try this... in time. I do have a question though about finding where to find a good starting point and IF it would actually work cause in my mind it seems like it would be a really simple way of making sure everything even but in practice, who knows but.... why no start from the MIDDLE of the book and work your way outward on each side therefore working your way toward the front and back covers.

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

You certainly could try that. Personally, I would find it awkward and difficult to work backwards toward the front cover of the book. But that method may work for you. Thanks so much for watching. 🙂

[@BLacKBearD12ඩාෆ]

I wanted to try, but then I went to the link. I saw the patterns and there’s only page 2 not page one do you know where I can get the full pattern?

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

Hello. The image of a pattern page that appears on the Paw Print listing is just a sample page. I included it as one of the listing photos so that you can see the style and layout of the pattern. If you order the Paw Print pattern, you will receive a PDF file of the full pattern plus a PDF file of a book folding guide that contains three bonus patterns. Thank you for watching. 🙂

[@lynx40forever76]

I am working on that one right now. ❤ I just started book folding and I love it. This will be book 3. I would like to see you do a video on cut and fold. ❤️🤞🏻

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

It’s great to see you here on KZbin, Lynx! Thanks so much for ordering the Paw Print pattern. I’m glad you’re loving book folding. Excellent. Thank you for watching. 😀

[@LOUD_TINA]

Hey i love this paw print and im a younger person and i can pay for anything i was wondering if you could help me find a free pattern i could use. And maybe still a paw print, please

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

Hello. The best way to find free patterns is by using a search engine. In the search bar, type in the words "free book folding patterns." You will get some results. Thanks for watching.

[@LOUD_TINA]

@HaveFunBookFolding thank you so much

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

You’re welcome.

[@mp49ers]

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!!

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

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. :)

[@mp49ers]

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!!

[@gmaellen5530]

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! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

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.

[@shortylane5035]

Hi. I have just found your video as I want to make one for a friend. Are you able to use this pattern with a smaller sized book? Or it needs to be exactly 22cm. Thank you.

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

Hi, there. Yes, you could use a shorter book. You could go as short as 20 cm, and the Paw Print would still look good. Thank you for watching.

[@ambermeyer5319]

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

[@HaveFunBookFolding]

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.
