I can’t think of a better way to honor the history and love of an old Bible than to turn it into art. I have a family Bible that belonged to my great grandmother. It lies in a box. How awesome it would be to turn it into artwork that would encourage stories about her and our family history.

Shea, you have made my day. You have got hold of my intention for the piece completely! Be richly blessed. Much love from us all at @OurHomeWorkshop

[@sarasmith83]

This looks like it will be really good - excited to see the rest!!! :)

Thank you for your kind comment John. I am glad that you enjoyed it!

Did a great job boss 😊. I will going to try this but not with a Bible .

[@TosaNewsense]

Thanks for sharing. Fantastic video. It would have never occurred to me to cut the pages!

[@OurHomeWorkshop]

Hey Eagle! Cutting the pages does bring more depth but it takes a long time. If I was to do it all again I would just fold alternative pages like I did with the 'o', 'v' & 'e'. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day!

[@donnalannan2978]

Great idea with the ruler! 😊

[@franciscorivera6943]

I'm about to start one of these projects because I saw one video of some one showing the results and I really like it, so I didn't know I was going to be able to find tutorials so in my mind the part where you cut the page I thought solving the problem folding one page to to the top part of the letter and the following page to to form the lower part etc...

[@OurHomeWorkshop]

Hi there, You are correct. Both techniques are shown in the other videos in the series Have fun with it!

[@latishaswier5268]

Wow looks amazing but lots of work lol

[@sag73plc60]

Podría subir como hacer la plantilla de fondo. No se hacerla. Gracias

[@34JohannesHeinz34]

How do you make sure that the design doesn't look too stretched when it's done? Is there a way to visualize the dimensions of the end results. Example: Let's say I want to design a heart. How do I make sure that the heart isn't too wide so that the shape gets too distorted? Thank you so much for this great video!

[@CrimsonDahliaCarnage]

Because he does it according to how many pages are in the book

[@SaurabhJain-ws5ys]

Plz tell me sir which software you use for this lines and stretched word (I M From INDIA) I really want to know

I your tutorial was great but I'm not computer literate to make a pattern. Can you tell me a good place to find free patterns I Google it and it always brings me to Pinterest but then the patterns are not free. Thank you in advance

[@OurHomeWorkshop]

Hi Love Learnin, This was the first time that I had tried it. There are other on KZbin that supply patterns with their videos. Just look for book folding on KZbin. I hope that this helps!

[@pinkmery92]

Sorry, What program is used for drawing?

[@tabithajones7726]

where do you get template?

[@OurHomeWorkshop]

Hi Tabitha, Thank you for your comment. The word Love is written in a font called 'A L Libretto'. I searched google for the best book folding fonts and it happened to be the first one. I hope that this helps. Be blessed!

[@tararomanelli7328]

Do you have step by step instructions on how to make the lined template? Are you using Photoshop?

[@OurHomeWorkshop]

Hi Tara, I just a scan of a lined A4 page. I am sure you can find something online if you do not have a scanner! Thank you for your comment! Have a great day

[@OurHomeWorkshop]

Also, (and if my memory serves me) I am using Affinity photo.

Hi there, I just used a scan of some a4 lined paper but I am sure with a quick google search you can find a suitable alternative. Have fun!

[@thamizhselvi2807]

Hii sir ....Voters day in book folding tutorial please sir

[@hareemraheel7445]

how do you determine how much to stretch it to? like you stretched it to 640 lines, how do you determine that?

[@OurHomeWorkshop]

Hi Hareem, The 640 comes from the number of pages that you have in the book and that you want to use for your design. I hope that this help! Thank you for your comment.

Could you please put a link to free images of the word Nan pls I’m making my Nan a book fold for her b day but I have no money to afford a book fold thing of Amazon, and I don’t know anyone with a computer or printer :(

[@diegorangel4918]

Hi. Nice video. How long did you were folding the book?

[@OurHomeWorkshop]

Hi Diego, all of the folding took me about 3 days but that includes all the filming too. If I was to do it all again I think I could have all of the folding done in a day.

[@diegorangel4918]

@@OurHomeWorkshop oh and how did you make the lines? is there any tutorial that explain how to make them?

You shouldn't do that to the bible

Don't cut the Bible it's a big sin he would pay for this from the god

Beautiful artwork but it breaks my heart that you have used (and cut up) the Word of God...It is meant to be read and lived in honour of Its Author, God. the Rev'd Dr. Margo MacDougall

[@MannyAdeniyi]

That looks cool, But like out of all the types of books to use u decided to use a Bible? For crying out sake its a Holy Bible you are cutting up and making art you could have used another type of book.
