@ambermeyer5319 Жыл бұрын

So on the bottom folds you did small folds. Can you fold all the way to the corner of the book spine? Does it matter how big or small your fold is? If so how do I know how deep to fold the corners

@HaveFunBookFolding Жыл бұрын

Hi, Amber. Good questions. The ruler that you use for folding automatically determines the size and depth of the folds. You don't have to figure them out yourself. When you place one edge of the ruler against the spine, and the opposite edge of the ruler on the mark, the resulting line between the spine and the mark becomes the fold line. To see me demonstrate this, start watching the video at the 22:05 time stamp.

@kimberlyryan8618 6 ай бұрын

You could use a book with dirty edges on tbe pages! You can spray paint the outside edges and then tbe image will become more prominent!

@HaveFunBookFolding 6 ай бұрын

Hi, Kimberly. Thank you for watching. Have you had good results spray painting your folded book? I’ve never tried it. I figured that the weight and wetness of the paint would cause the pages to droop and wave.

This is so cool! Just discovering this. I do have a question…. The ruler you use looks thin maybe a little more than 1/2” The ruler I’m using (plan on using) 1.5” in with. If I use this one, the fold will be different. Do I need to get one like yours? If so, I need the measurements please. I can’t wait to start this, so exciting!! BIG THANKS!!

@HaveFunBookFolding Жыл бұрын

Welcome to the fun world of book folding, Marilyn! Thank you for watching. The metal Westcott ruler that I used for folding in the video is 1 1/4" wide. Your ruler that is 1 1/2" wide will work well. When you use the ruler-against-spine folding method that I demonstrate, the width of your ruler doesn't matter. Your ruler, no matter its width, will automatically set a proper angle for you, page after page. You don't have to think about it. Let your ruler do the work. When you start folding, you'll understand exactly what I mean. :)

I’m curious if you’ve tried books with gold edges. I would think that would be beautiful for certain patterns. I’ll check out your channel and look at your other designs. That will probably answer my question. I stumbled across your channel by accident. I’d never heard of book folding! I feel a bunch of Christmas gifts flowing from my hands! ❤❤❤❤❤

@HaveFunBookFolding 8 ай бұрын

Hello and welcome to the fun world of book folding! I haven't tried folding books with gold/gilt edges, but I've seen gilt-edged books that others have folded. Those folded books are gorgeous. If you find a gilt-edged book, I highly recommend buying and folding it. You'll love the effect. Thank you for watching.
