  Step 1

  Start by folding the paper hamburger style.

• 

  Step 2

  Unfold the paper and then fold the sides in to meet the first crease you made. Then it should look like the picture.

• 

  Step 3

  Unfold everything and then fold the paper hot dog style.

• 

  Step 4

  Make sure everything is creased well by folding the paper one way and then the other. When you are done unfold the paper, and you should have 8 little sections as shown in this picture.

• 

  Step 5

  This picture is just to show the layout of the pages. Now you can go on designing the pages however you want!

• 

  Step 6

  Fold the paper so it looks like a "W" like this.

• 

  Step 7

  Now cut the center segment. Be careful not to cut past the center segment. The alignment of the folds and this cut are the most important part of this project.

• 

  Step 8

  Fold the paper hot dog style, and squish out the center where you cut. (see picture) Pull it all together so it looks like a plus sign.

• 

  Step 9

  Find the front cover and pull everything else in behind it. Now you're done!

I didn't know what the hamburger and hot dog things were but I got it! I have done this before (my teacher also taught me this) and I have, since then, forgotten... Now I'm gonna make some books >=D
Thanks!

you're using your noggin! These would be great to make up for kids to make a book about what they like or anything! You could also mount this into an altered book too! so many uses!

I just picked up "How to make books; fold, cut, & stitch your way to a one of a kind book" and this was in there. I never even thought about this for a really simple book. It's such a great idea!

Opposites-girl: folding hotdog means folding the paper longways across from left to right (long, like a hot dog). Hamburger means folding shortways from top to bottome (short & compact, like a hamburger).

Cute tutorial. ^^
