About
Folded Book Art
These cute little bees are very easy to make—before you know it, you’ll have a complete hive. Here, they form part of a charming scene, complete with flowers and honeycomb. They would make equally lovely greetings cards. Simply glue some of the cut-out honeycomb shapes on to a rectangular piece of card stock (card), fold the card stock (card) in half, and attach a little bee.

Step 2
Use a pencil to mark a point 11⁄3in. (3cm) in from the bottom-right-hand corner of your glued pages. Now mark a point 2⁄3in. (1.5cm) in from the top-right-hand corner. Draw one line from the bottom-right-hand corner to the point marked at the top, and another from the point marked 11⁄3in. (3cm) along the bottom to the point at the top. You will have made a tall triangle.

Step 9
Trace out the flower shapes and transfer them on to a page you removed from the book. Cut these out using a craft knife and protecting your work surface with a cutting mat. Pinch the petals in half and fold them upward to make them 3-D. Cut a semicircle at the center of each flower and fold back the cut section.

Step 11
To make some of the bees hover above the flowers, cut one of the pages you removed from the book into three sections. Glue the sections together in layers, then cut them into strips measuring 21⁄3 x 1⁄8in. (6cm x 4mm). Stick one end of a strip to the underside of each bee, bend the strip into a curve, and stick the opposite end down among the flowers.
