Making books (summer school) - 4

This structure is called the "blizzard book" and it's folded out of a long piece of paper. A big sheet of thin Japanese paper (costing £2.25) made 7 books of various sizes. The largest uses half the sheet and ended up about 7" high. The folded triangles hold the sheets of paper, and covers can tuck into the spine.

I used a couple of the small spines for some of the "crayon" books, putting coloured paper between blank pages -
It's called the blizzard book because it was created by Hedi Kyle one morning when she couldn't get to work because of a blizzard. Instructions for making one with fewer pages and a different kind of cover are here; instructions for the 16 fold version (8 "openings") are here.
