When you open up the paper after it should look like this:Įach little square is a page of your book. Unfold the paper again and fold both short sides in to meet the middle crease: Then open the paper up and fold it the other way: Start off with your piece of A4 paper – I suggest making two of these folding books, I’ll explain why later!įold the paper in half along the long side every one of these folds you make must be accurate – make sure the corners meet the corners exactly, and press the crease with your thumb to make sure it is nice and crisp: Here is an easy way to make your own book – all you need is a piece of A4 paper, some scissors or a craft knife, and someone old enough to use the craft knife! If you wish to make a harder cover, you will also need some card, and elastic bands or a stapler.
