I have a huge folder full of templates that I have made for people, various names, images, etc. What I can see is people, when given a choice, tend to pick the font that I think looks the nicest. I thought I would also just go ahead and add some of the other templates I have sent out, that I think might be of general appeal. Some are cropped, some are single, some are pages full of images. If any appeal to you, feel free to grab them and give it a go. There is also now a menu up at the top that collects all the book folding posts in one place.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use the .jpg image you see here. The quality and size are not good enough and the lines indistinct. Download the PDF and use that.
Love (click the image to download the PDF)

As a beginner, I would advise you pick ONE of those words and give it a go. To do all three words in one book is going to be a challenge, unless you do a Cut&Fold rather than a straight book fold. You could do one word in each of three books, if you wanted a display. Why not start with LOVE https://scrappystickyinkymess.wordpress.com/2015/12/17/last-one-lots-of-love-templates/ as you can use the results for a gift even if you decide to stop with that one word!

Hi so I just folded every other page on my first book to realize I folded both pg 43 and 45 with out skipping so what’s the best way to fix this?

Lol thsnks

If a page or two makes it so you are short a page, sure, go back and refold, but it means you have to re-fold 50 pages, I’m with your friend – just cut out a page if need be. If you are doing a cut& fold, the pre-creased edges might affect the overall look of the final book. Overall, I think cutting out a page or two is a better solution! Of course, YMMV….

A few things – first, is it 1200+LEAVES or 1200+NUMBERED pages? Numbered pages is only 600 leaves so not massive. Also, the S the Ps and the Y all have alternating folds so that ups the count. I think the best plan is for me to send you the template, then you could the lines and see where you are. I can also suggest if you are far short, to add a heart at the end, the beginning or both! I have planned on adding some “filler” folds so people can add to fill in. I’ll try to do that.

I think the letters are pretty easy to begin with. only the & and the S have alternating folds. You could omit the & and use a +, which is easier. Be sure to go back to my blog post for info on how to calculate the page count. https://scrappystickyinkymess.wordpress.com/folded-book-templates/ has links to two different posts for how to do this. Be careful to count the alternating folds correctly!
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/
Pay particular attention to the difference between the NUMBERED PAGE COUNT (the numbers printed on the pages of the book, front of a page and back of a page) vs the LEAVES count (the number of pages counted where each leaf = two numbered pages)
Also helpful to try it on a paperback to see if you like how it is turning out!
Good luck!

I can do it but Love You Always is actually fairly long – To fit it on a page it will be quite small – maybe only about 2 inches tall? If this is your first book fold, can i suggest a heart or just the word Love?

Sent one. But remember, I DO NOT make templates to fit a specific book size. There are people who do that but they will charge your for it. I make you a template for free but you have to do the work to count the lines and find a book that works. Be sure to go back to my blog post for info on how to calculate the page count. https://scrappystickyinkymess.wordpress.com/folded-book-templates/ has links to two different posts for how to do this. Be careful to count the alternating folds correctly!
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/
Pay particular attention to the difference between the NUMBERED PAGE COUNT (the numbers printed on the pages of the book, front of a page and back of a page) vs the LEAVES count (the number of pages counted where each leaf = two numbered pages)

There is noting super complex about the heart – just like folding a letter with multiple “lines” (like an E, where you have a top, middle and bottom section that needs to be folded in sequence) you have to fold the lines in sequence for the heart too!
Have you read the links in the menu a the top? https://scrappystickyinkymess.wordpress.com/2015/05/04/book-folding-with-templates/ probably is the most useful.

Be careful to count the alternating folds correctly!

You should never start till you have done the counting to see how many pages you need. And the counting is different for cut&fold and for pure folding. I’m not sure you will be able to salvage the book you started. If you read the post it tells you how to count. If I had to guess I would think you are counting the pages by looking at the numbers on the page. That is not correct. Each page has a number n the front and a number on the back. So that means you 405 page book is really only 202 PAGES. That is why you have run out. Sorry to say you will have to find a bigger book and start again!

I have said probably 20 times in posts (and am fairly sure I added the link explaining to another comment from you) that I WILL NOT count out designs. I am as prone to mistakes as anyone and I refuse to be responsible for ruining someone’s project if I count wrong. If YOU count wrong then that is a different matter. There are plenty of people who will do a design for you and sell you a PDF that has all the pages counted out, if you really don’t want to do it yourself. I do the templates for free, but it is just the template. The counting is up to you.

You can use it as a fold and cut or as a fold only. It should work for both. You might want to fold both the black lines and the white lines between, depending on how fat you want it to look.
If you mean alternating folds,it doesn’t matter if you do the top ones or the bottom ones first, just be consistent. ALWAYS do the top first or ALWAYS do the bottom first.

Without seeing what you have done, I don’t think I can know for sure.
If I had to guess, and it’s only a guess, it would be that you missed out some 3-fold sections folds. It looks like between the 1st and the 2nd toe, and between the 3rd and the 4th toe there are a few line that should have 3 folds. The best way to know for sure is to lay a ruler along the lines and check how many sections/alternating folds there are.

Hi. I was just wondering if you have done a three line book fold. I managed to find a couple books with over 1000 pages and thought I might try. Would it be possible for you to do templates in a plain font for me to try. I wanted to try home sweet home and live love laugh. As usual your blogs are extremely helpful and I look forward to your new posts .
Thanks again for all your great ideas.

Nope, never done one. There are a some tutorials for multi-line books, where your slice the book into thirds, maybe an inch or so from the spine, then fold each section as if it were a one-line one. I can easily do you a 3-line template but then you either have to tell me the height of the book (for placement) or cut the template apart and use each line singly. I am pretty sure a 3 line template won’t work as alternating folds – imagine you have an e fall over a b which falls over an k. You might have like 9 pages between the first fold of the e and the next one! That is never going to look good IMHO.
Back to you then….

Hi, I haven’t long started to do book folding, mainly for work as part of our window displays. I’m looking to do something for Remembrance day, any chance you could make a template of a poppy?

I’ve had a look at various poppy images and the problem is there is no real way to create a template that is going to fold and make sense. Either it is a block of red with an open centre or an outline – neither will look good from a book folding standpoint. It MIGHT work with a cut&fold, where you could do a template for a line drawing, but even so I would have no way to know for sure that it will look good in the end. It might work to try to create shading by folding the petals to different levels but that is pretty complicated stuff to try to explain without doing it first – I know in theory what might work, but no time to do it to test it out.
I’ll think on it and if I figure out anything useful, I’ll post it 🙂

I think I have become addicted to book folding and my friends are all getting one. I’ve had good success using your alphabet templates but now am trying to do a 2 line book fold and not sure how to get my spacing right. I wondered if you could do a template that says Caledonia Fair in two lines probably in a plain font. I managed to find an old book with over 900 pages and hope to make it work. Thanks for all your great ideas

I have simply not had the time to go back to the multi-line folding idea. But it is easy enough to do a 2 line template. With a book that big it should work for a couple of short words, but with that long a word I am just not sure. I’ll send it, you can count it out, and see. Watch for it.

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/
You can go back to my blog post for info on how to calculate the page count. https://scrappystickyinkymess.wordpress.com/folded-book-templates/ has links to two different posts for how to do this. Be careful to count the alternating folds correctly!
Once you know HOW to count it’s not hard, just tedious 🙂 There are people who can make you a template and will tell you the exact number of pages but they will charge you for it. I recently bought the Bookami software that does that but I am not selling the templates, I just got it for me. 🙂

I agree it is tedious to count the folds but it definitely helps with the end result. I have found that now I count twice just to be on the safe side. I have seen the word hope in your templates but wondered if you have the breast cancer ribbon symbol that could be put at the front and back of the word hope. Your ideas are great as usual.

There are two styles, hopefully one will work for you. Just cut the sheet in half and stick whichever one you want to use to another sheet with the lip folded at the top so you can hook it over the top edge of the pages to keep it all straight.

Hi all, As a newby could I ask the following question. If I am folding a single page (say for the letter “C”) do I do both lots of fold on the same page or one fold each on the next two pages.If done on the same page do I need to cut the page through the middle.

If you haven’t already, you really need to click on Book Folding at the very top and check out the posts linked there. What you are talking about is what I call ALTERNATING FOLDS. This is when you have a letter like a C or S that has two sets of black lines on the same vertical. You have to alternate the folds, top of C on the first page, bottom of the C on the 2nd page, next top of C on the 3rd page, next bottom of C on the 4th pages, etc etc till you complete the letter. It is impossible to do more than one fold on a full page. It IS possible to do the cut&fold method or do the method where you slice the page into sections (for multi-line designs) and if you search for cut&fold you will see samples of that.

Interesting question! I normally don’t add any “spaces” between letters, but in the case of an H and an I (if it is a plain blocky font, so the I looks like an |” then I guess I would. If you go back to the post for the folded heart, you can see how I fold back pages so they leave a gap and don’t show https://scrappystickyinkymess.wordpress.com/2015/10/12/just-one-more-folded-book-template/.

Yep. The thing is, I am just not willing to tell someone “Oh you need a book of X pages to do that word,” then have it turn out to be wrong if I am! You really need to read the post because, as you say any letter that has more than one area along a line, you need to alternate the folds, first the top section, then the bottom, then the top again, like in the image. I also suggest finding the middle of your word and the middle of the book and working OUT. That way if you are off a bit you find out faster, and you also end up with the same number of blank pages at the beginning and at the end. 🙂 I’ve downloaded the font and will try to make the alphabet tomorrow, upper and lower case, with numbers.
