We will have fun - and the templates really do make everything easier. Once the paper is cut, it’s all fun from there on!

This is such a good introduction to making the papers but I can’t find the instructions for how to make the thread book?

This is really just an introduction to Zhen Xian Bao. I did a complete tutorial for Ali MANNING’S handmade Book Club. There are many wonderful tutorials on KZbin for the actual folding and creation of the Chinese Thread Book.
