Origami Booklet - Thoughtful Words

size closed: 5"w x 3-1/8"h

I did a Google search of "Origami" on my website and came up with a bunch of stuff and this structure was one of them which I did in 2015... I said perfect since I only had 4 words for a booklet.

I used scrapbook cream and deep brown cardstock for the pages, covers and inserts

. 

No glue or adhesive of any kind and no cutting other than to make sure all your pages are the same size...
The booklet on the left starts out as an 9-7/8" x 6.25" piece of paper and ends up being approx 4.75" x 3.125"

booklet consists of:
Covers - 2 sheets
Spine - 1 sheet
Pages - a sheet for each page (booklet on the left has 3 pages)
Links - same quantity of sheets as number of pages + 1 sheet for the spine. 

All sheets should be the exact same size. Each page in the booklet will turn out to be 1/4 the size of your sheet. So an 8.5 x 11" sheet will give you a page size of 4.25 x 5.5".

Note: Use decorative papers for the covers, spine, pages and external links. Inner links can be any paper since they are basically hidden.

Fold (left to right) of paper so edges meet each other. Doesn't matter if they are equal on the back side (it's not visible). Fold (top to bottom) in half.

One side of folded page will slip into the pocket of the next folded page. When all pages are slipped in use your spine piece to slip into both cover pieces.
