Thank you so much for taking A New Use for An Old Book: The Angel Fold. I believe that art is a way to clear our minds of all the daily clutter and hopefully, you were able to clear some of that clutter away today. Here are a few things to look at to explore what we did today and some other information.

Key Takeaways & Next Steps:

In class we:

The basic techniques and principles of book folding
The creative process, from choosing the right book to preparing pages and following folding patterns
How to transform an old book into a one-of-a-kind piece that enhances your home décor or makes a thoughtful handmade gift

Explore Supplies Used for this Class:

A hardcover or paperback book that you no longer will read (or plain paper just to practice)
A heavy book or piece of wood
Scissors
Binder clips and rubber bands (optional)
Glue (I prefer hot glue but any will work)
Optional: paint, glitter, and ribbon

Places to find books for your art

Your public library
Local school and university libraries
Thrift stores and garage sales
Facebook Marketplace
Your own bookshelf
Friends, family, and neighbors
Booksellers
Look at Craig’s List and the Freecycle Network to see if anyone in your area is giving away books. Please note that you need to be very cautious if meeting someone. Always meet in a public space and take a friend with you.
