Hello dear readers! This is my last post in my book case styling series. My first post was on how to style your book cases, and I talked a little bit about how to mix your books in with some fun and unique objects to add interest and variety to your shelves. This week's post is for those of you that don't have any, or not enough, items to mix in with your books. Books with folded pages are eye catching and very unique. They add fun visual interest to any space and are so easy and cheap to make. And would make the perfect item to mix in with your stacked books. Go to your local DI or thrift store and pick up a few hard back books. Look for a variety of sizes, get some big ones and get some little ones to mix and match. A few of the books that I have are little dictionaries, and some are novels. If you are putting them in your book cases you won't be seeing the covers and you, of course, won't be able to read the text, so any type of book works great. Then put on your favorite movie and start folding! This is such an easy craft, but it is time consuming, so it's fun to have a movie playing or have some friends over, and you can chat while folding. Here are a couple of step by step instructions for a few different patterns: Triangle and diamond shapes are the easiest It's just two simple folds per page This is what the pattern looks like First, fold the top part of the page in half, making sure the corner of the page reaches the spine of the book. If you want the entire edge of the page to line up with the spine, you will have a more pointed top. If you just bring the corner to the spine, as shown below, the top of your book will be a little more flat. Either way works great, it just depends on the look you are going for. Second, fold the bottom corner up to the top of the page just far enough to make a sharp point. Repeat this same pattern on all the pages This is the pattern if you are wanting a more diamond looking shape Fist fold up the bottom of the page, lining the edge of the paper with the spine Second, fold the top part of the page until the edge meets the spine. Repeat this same pattern on all of the pages This look is one of my favorites. It's fairly simple as well, it just requires three easy folds per page. This is what the pattern looks like First, fold the page in half Second, fold back the top and bottom corners to create an arrow pointing towards the spine. Repeat this same pattern on all the pages. This double diamond look is the most difficult, but only because you alternate the pattern slightly on every other page. It's still only two folds per page. Here is the pattern for half of the pages First, fold the bottom corner up so the edge lines up with the spine. Second, fold the top corner down until it forms a point. On the next page, repeat the same pattern in reverse. Start by folding the top corner down, then fold the bottom corner up to create a point. These are just a few ideas, there are endless possibilities. You can easily create your own pattern, simply by opening up your book, folding the first page in anyway you like and repeat it for the rest of the book and see what fun shape you end up with! As always, I would LOVE to see how your folded books turn out! Post pictures of your newly folded books to instagram and make sure to tag @deliciousreads in the caption so I can see all of your beautiful creations! Thanks for reading and happy book folding! xoxo Kate
