Book Folding

Reading a book is like a treasure hunt, if you follow the  right trail of clues then you find a chest full of knowledge and if you are not paying attention then you are just lost somewhere. Some books you want to preserve forever but some books you just want to pass on. Today I want to show the way to convert the pass on books as cherished treasure. Book folding not only create a masterpiece but a very good stress buster too. Also it enhance the motor skill and hand eye coordination in kids

Bird house

Kids will love to make this and you can be more creative with it and add clay birds too. This is done by simple folds and if you are new to book folding you can find the tutorial over here http://redhenhome.blogspot.com/2011/07/book-birdhouses.html

I used a hard cover book to make this bird house and left with book cover with spine. Don't through away the spine as next project will make you bring all old books into life.

These are just beginner ideas. You can make anything by folding pages of a book. Only thing you need is patience.
