I have to dash off to cardio rehab shortly but I have been mulling over a way I might make the folded book templates available to all in a simple way, a way that people can customize to fit any name.
A follower, Nancy, asked for 4 or so names and hinted she would probably be wanting more. We chatted about how I could provide her with an alphabet, but as she didn’t have Photoshop or the like, it seemed an impossible task. But then when another commenter asked for an alphabet, I thought again and thought this might actually work!
The best I can do is add it and let you tell me if it does!
So I did two versions, one is a more plain (dare I say boyish?) font and one a bit more scripty but not overly feminine. The fonts are Abril
As you can see, the PDF has all the individual letter of the alphabet. My thought is that you can print the sheets with the letters you need, then either tape them securely into the word to create your own book folding template OR you can simply fold each letter in sequence. What do you think? Workable or not?
Here are the PDFs. If it does work and there is a specific font you would like, comment and I will see if I have it or can get it. I can amass a collection of these then people don’t need to wait for me to have time to create a custom name for them. I can also do things like hearts, stars, etc if there is interest.
Here is the plan font Abril
Here is the more scripty font Habano ST

I’d like my book to have the word “Hoai(heart)” with a nice,pretty font. Maybe a flowy-ish one or maybe just for the H? If that makes any sense.
I have a book that has 416 numbered pages and the height is 9.5 inches.

So excited to do this for my boyfriend!
Can you please make me a template with the name “Hoai(heart)”, another with the date “11(heart)27(heart)16” and another that says “ANNIE(heart)”? Please choose a pretty font (: I sort’ve like habano font but not a whole lot.
These are three different books by the way. I have purchased books that have 416 numbered pages, 630 numbered pages, 371 numbered pages and another with 352 numbered pages. If that helps any? If you can tell me which template you used for which book as well, that’ll be great!
Any advice would be awesome too because this would be my first time doing folded book art!

I’ve looked at tons of sites and tutorials about book folding and have made my own template, but I’m not sure it’s correct. I followed directions for how to do it with Microsoft Word, but the gal then put it on a pattern she already had and she lost me at that point. She put her word onto a 4-500 page pattern, but didn’t explain how to fit it on other page ranges. I hope I’m explaining clearly enough. I want to make my daughter a book for Christmas – her name is Sara. I’d like it to look as Sara (1st uppercase, next 3 lowercase), but am worried if I can do the lowercase aas. Do you have a template you could send me? I have a 300 page book to use and am running out of time so need it quickly. Thank you so very much. ❤ ❤ ❤

The way I make the templates doesn’t allow me to size them for a particular book. I can use my common sense and try to get them close, but a 300 page book (300 numbered pages, so no more than 150 sheets) is not the same as a book with 300 pages (600 numbered pages) and I never know which people mean. There are people who, for a price, will make you a template sized to fit a specific book. I can send you a template, but you will have to count the lines and see if it will work. Alternatively, you can just go to a used book store and find a book that is the right size 🙂
I get a lot of people coming here saying the same thing about various Microsoft word methods. I’ve never seen it and I only use Mac computers so I can’t help you there 🙂

I have the alphabet template you made, and it was an amazing help to create a folded textbook for my desk, but I wanted to create a bigger decoration for a birthday present and am running into problems. I need three books to create it, and because each book will have two lines of letters I can’t get them to line up correctly. I don’t have photoshop so I have been trying to do it by hand and it isn’t coming out right. Do you have any suggestions, or a program you could plug things into and it’ll spit out a template? Thanks!!!

There is a nice program called Bookami – it will print out a series of pages with the page number and the measurements to mark then fold the book. It’s not expensive, if you plan to do a lot of book folding 🙂 Like wise there are people who have bought Bookami who will create the template for you, for a fee (under £5/$10 usually)
For my alphabet, the best plan is to cut all the letter out in blocks, trimming them to the very edge of the printed area. Draw a dark line for the bottom of the letter. Hold the paper up to the window, and using the line as a guide, stick the letters securely and fully onto the other paper. Then you can use that as your template. To make them placed the same across all three books, you will need to mark the position of the line for each book – line them up an a row and mark where you want the line to be, so if the books are different heights, the line will flow from one to the other as they stand up.
I do hope to get back to a multi-line alphabet set at some point, I’m just too busy moving house at the moment 🙂 but I HTH!

I don’t add the names to blog posts but can email you a template. To create your own there are a couple of options: you can open one of the PDFs of a full alphabet in Photoshop Elements or similar, then copy and paste the individual letters into a new file, align them then print that to create a template. You can also go to the post with the sheet of black lines and print that then print the name in black OVER the lines. How to use that as a template is found in the post here https://scrappystickyinkymess.wordpress.com/2015/12/12/another-book-folding-alphabet-and-a-new-idea/
Why I won’t tell you how many pages you need can be found here https://scrappystickyinkymess.wordpress.com/2016/01/17/book-folding-why-i-wont-count-them-out/ along with how you can count it out yourself 🙂

Hello,
Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you with a font selection. I have tried giving you a font for a monogram for TCN (with C being larger) and also KGL (with the G being in a larger font) with no success. I have tried to access fonts for Photoshop (which I think you use when you create your masterpieces). However, each time I tried opening up I get a virus, – it has happened on my cell phone and also on my pc and laptop. Very frustrating and truly sad.
I agree that monograms are usually more angular and very calligraphy like, which might be next to impossible to do. I trust your judgment in selecting a font that would work beautifully.
One more question, when presenting as a gift, how have you kept the book from opening completely up (especially when the word is seven or more letters. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
I am excited to hear from you. Have a wonderful day.
