This is a fun and easy way to make a unique book of basically 18 pages while using only one sheet of paper.

Supplies

All you need is the paper, the size of the triangle book naturally depends on the size of the paper.

I used 18"X18"

a pair of scissors, a ruler and a pencil.

Cutting the Triangle

Each triangle page of the book can be decorated any way you choose. You can turn the pages or open it flat , it is also two sided.
