I had a request for a Mum and a Dad book folding template. I have done Mum before but not a set. And not sure I have done Dad (or indeed my preferred Mom) either! So I have done them as sets of four.
Mum has its own issues – the M and the u and the m all have straight upright letters in some fonts. In order to make them readable without lots of inserted folded back pages (something I also get asked about a lot and recently replied to a comment regarding it with some untested but logical ideas) the font choice has to have serifs or be scripty. These are four that I think will work:
MOM is less an issue unless the O is squarish:
That lets me use a plainer font- the right top one would never work for MUM as it would all blend into a solid block without folded back pages! Download MOM here
Dad was easy and I think all of these (one which matches at least one the Moms or the Mums) will work:
Hopefully that will give you something to do until I feel up to posting more often then once a month LOL!

Wow, I have just stumbled onto your blog. I do “upcycling” for our public library bookshop and I bumbled my way through making some “Mom” and “Dad” books using photoshop earlier this year. I really wish I’d seen this post first — it would have saved me so much time! Can’t wait to read through your other bookfolding posts. Thanks!

The numbers go up to 150,does that mean 150 pages?

Nope. If you look at any book you can see there are numbers on both sides of the page – therefore, 150 numbers = 75 “pages” or leaves for folding.

Could u help with a folding template for an electric guitar?

I’ve done the simpliest and most basic version – other images have the tuning pegs and other little tiny pieces that will make it harder to fold – but come back to me by replying to the email if you need something more detailed.

Hello again! I was wondering if you have time, would it be possible to get a pattern for a viola and possibly a separate one with musical notes??? Thanks so much!
