Folded Book Art

Create various shapes or letters using old books.

Any book will work, but a hardcover will stand up better.

Bend the pages so it doubles in size

While the pages are bent over, draw your design (Solid shapes work best, or a "bubbled" letter).

When the book is laying flat the design will seem warped, but don't worry, it'll look right when finished

Starting from the back of the book, begin folding pages at the mark.

Make sure to keep the folds consistent so when it is done, it will be a smooth transition

Until done... enjoy

If you have a design where there are multiple marks on one edge, you fold on alternating pages and repeat the pattern. (see picture)
