A Little Halloween Storybook

final.jpg

In celebration of HALLOWEEN:

A little "Pocketmod" book.

(A "pocketmod" is a book that is made by cutting and folding a single sheet of paper.)

I have published other "pocketmods" with generic folding instructions.
This time, I am going to try to show the method that I use to get the "tightest" folds...and I am now realizing how HARD is is to show this kind of thing!

Perhaps it is time to learn to do Instructables videos!

Here goes:

Fold 1: a "Hotdog Fold"

Fold the paper in half, with the pictures on the outside, as shown.

Use your thumbnail to crease it.

Fold 2: a "hamburger Fold"

Fold in half a second time, this time going the opposite way. Crease.
