Book Folding
Book Folding
What is book folding or cutting? It is the art of taking a book and folding and cutting the pages in order to create an image. The best part? It is easy to do, but takes a lot of time, so it is a perfect craft for anyone with an old book they don't read anymore, and some extra time at home due to a pandemic.
