A small 4-page book with cover and back pages can be very simply made. Its uses are multiple and surprising.
1Hold your square piece of paper (must be square) so that there is a top, bottom, and two sides. In the following steps, there are horizontal and vertical folds. It does not matter which side is horizontal and which is vertical; just designate one as horizontal and one as vertical.Ad
2Fold paper in half vertically. Do not unfold.
3Fold paper in half horizontally. Do not unfold.
4Fold paper in half horizontally again. Unfold.
5Fold paper in half vertically again. Unfold.
6Holding the paper fold-side up, cut along the vertical line halfway across the paper, until it reaches the intersection of folds.
7Separate bottom halves of paper, so that the closer half is facing you, and the farther half is pointing away.
8Fold one half of the paper down, and turn it 180° so that it is now upside-down.
9Fold all the edges together and make a book.Ad
- Be careful of paper cuts!
- If you are a child, ask a parent to help you.
Things You'll Need
